In just a few thousand generations, our brains nearly doubled in size - a change that should have taken millions of years. Scientists couldn't explain it until Terence McKenna proposed a radical theory. He believed early humans transformed into conscious beings not through fire or tools, but through eating a forbidden fungus growing in animal dung across Africa. #Awakening #Evolution #Consciousness 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Ryan Fitzgerald Nate Lata Brandon Snyder Joe Stone Producers: Erik Anderson Haley Burke Jen Gentile Victoria Young Research: Hamilton Schutt Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

Our daughter was suicidal for about 4 years. She took mushrooms from a friend unbeknownst to us… and we saw an immediate change in her - a complete transformation. She told us a couple months later and we found she was off her medication. That was almost three years ago and she is living a happy productive life. We can only attribute it to the effects of taking mushrooms. Incredible and something our society ought to be taking seriously to treat mental health disorders.

Mushrooms have helped me too. The clarity and emotional release they can offer is something traditional meds never gave me.
