I'm back again with Dr Mark Gaffney to talk about how all evil and atrocity in the world can be described as a failed love story.

And to understand that, you have to understand that we are part of the love story of the Cosmos,

that we are chapter inverse in this universal love story,

and it will help us understand how certain movies like Barbie and certain atrocities like we're seeing in the world

are actually linked in their own way to the nature of this failed love story.

So this is an incredibly important and powerful conversation

with my brother, Dr. Mark Gaffney.

But before we get started, a word from our sponsors.

First up we have four visions and I just want to send a little bit of gratitude to them for continuing to be a sponsor of the podcast.

And it makes sense because I'm continually a sponsor of their business because wherever I go I have some four visions Hape and oftentimes some of the four visions,pe, and the tools for using this sacred tobacco snuff that is created in full cooperation with the indigenous wisdom keepers of Central and South America.

Now for those of you who haven't seen me pull out my

choreopae, which is a little two-pronged tube,

one goes in the mouth, one goes in the nose,

and you blow this tobacco snuff right up your

nose and it enters into what feels like your brain all the way through your

spirit clears your mind, your eyes, water, it's a little bit of a stingy experience but it's a very powerful

grounding tool and it's been an ally for me not only in my own plant medicine

journeys but also in everyday life this is a daily practice for me and say what you will

about this being a daily practice for me but it is and it's been a huge ally

for me in my life and it's really helped develop my relationship with the spirit of tobacco.

So and as many of you noticed, you know, this plant medicine consciousness and the wisdom

of the First Nations people and indigenous elders
