Note: This post describes what tends to happen with larger doses of 5-MeO-DMT or Bufo alvarius. Smaller doses of this compound are also profoundly beautiful—yet are not so all-devouring and therefore more palatable for beginners. At smaller doses, one retains a sense of being in one’s body, and tends to feel as if a large wave of Divine energy is sweeping through one’s system, cleansing and transfiguring karmic debris while providing an embodied experience of Divine Love, Peace, and Grace.
5-MeO-DMT, the “God molecule,” is…
Basically a warp-speed elevator to God.
This is not hyperbole.
You smoke it, and before you’re done inhaling, before your head hits the pillow…
Your world is already dissolving. 🕳️
It’s rather like a black hole opens up and swallows your universe…
Rapidly teleporting you to realms of infinite power, intelligence, oneness, love, peace, light, and/or void…
Realms utterly and totally beyond description, conception, or imagination.
It’s actually kinda silly to even attempt to put this stuff into words.
It’s the visceral, undeniable recognition that infinitely powerful love-consciousness is the only ‘thing’ that exists—and you are that.
This, at least, is what tends to happen when one smokes a sufficiently high dose of the stuff.
To my knowledge, there is no tool known to man that is more reliable in occasioning God-realization / enlightenment experiences.
A few days ago, I recorded a 37-minute video diving fairly deep into my experiences with 5-MeO-DMT.
Though it’s utterly impossible to language these experiences, I did my best to poetically express some of the ‘highlights’ of what I’ve experienced:

How will this medicine be utilized at the Presence of God Retreat?
At my upcoming Presence of God retreat, we will each experience two 5-MeO-DMT journeys, working with the 5-MeO-DMT-containing medicine known as Bufo alvarius, which comes from the Sonoran Desert Toad.
My vision is for these journeys to take place later in the week, after the two ayahuasca ceremonies—with a one-day break in-between.
Remi Delaune, a true shaman and dear friend of mine, will administer the medicines and hold the space for the ~10-12 of us receiving medicine.
Based on my experience, the ayahuasca (and the multi-week dieting process prior to ayahuasca) will greatly assist in cleansing, clearing, healing, and liberating the psycho-physical-energetic system, bringing one into a space of deep trust, connection, and surrender to the Divine.
This will then be an optimal space in which to receive the Bufo alvarius and to fully ‘let go’ into the direct experience of Divine Mystery.
As I’ve stated previously, it is not possible for me to say precisely what ayahuasca and Bufo alvarius will gift to you, as each experience is unique to the seeker.
What I can say, based on a large amount of experience with these medicines, is that you are likely to experience the Miraculous—real Magic, genuine contact with Divine Intelligence—in a way that is ultimately greatly healing, liberating, faith-restoring, inspiring, uplifting, and empowering for you.
That is not to say it will be an easy or linear process. Working with these entheogenic teachers can be challenging, both during the experiences and during the integration process. The challenges are part of the gift, though they can truly test you.
This work can be tremendous fun at times, but it is no joke. In my observation, it is the most intense, accelerated, and rapidly identity-incinerating path to God presently available to mankind. This is why I recommend only to commune with these teachers if your heart’s calling is clear.
There is nothing in my life that I revere above God, for God is All and the very substance of my being. As direct portals to God, ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT are two teachers for whom I hold the utmost respect. I can truly and honestly say that this work is sacred to me.
Presence of God is particularly sacred to me, for various reasons: The retreat will take place at Kumankaya, the jungle sanctuary created by my dear friends Remi and Ashley Delaune—the sanctuary where Tanja and I were engaged by Remi, within the Shipibo ayahuasca tradition. This time round, we intend to complete the ceremony by marrying one another, either during Presence of God or in the days before.
This is also the first retreat I’ve ever created that is so explicitly and fundamentally centered on Divinity. Simply by choosing the name “Presence of God” from a space of sincere prayer, I sense that I have energetically set the stage for something truly pure and beautiful to occur.
If you feel the calling to attend, please apply here to schedule a one-on-one call with me. We will have an organic heart-to-heart conversation, and through speaking it will naturally become clear if we are meant to share this adventure.
(Note: The ‘early bird’ contribution for the retreat is $2,222. After September 15th, the contribution increases to $2,555. We do it this way to encourage early registrations, as it is much smoother to create retreats when guests commit ~2-3+ months in advance. Scholarships and payment plans are possible for those who feel a great calling yet require additional assistance. Read the vision page for a transparent breakdown of how your funds will be distributed.)
Poll: Do you feel the call?
I am curious to gauge the level of interest in Presence of God. I noticed Substack has a ‘poll’ functionality, so let’s try this out:
Feel welcome also to reach out with any questions about the retreat. I am happy to answer.
Wholeness, Love, Power, Freedom,
