This One Time On Psychedelics
Welcome, fellow explorers of the infinite.
If you’re here, it means you’re ready to step beyond the ordinary and into the great unfolding mystery of existence itself. Because psychedelics? They’re not just substances—they’re a doorway to a new way of seeing reality, a lens that reveals the hidden layers of reality we walk through every day. And that’s exactly what we explore here.
I’m Ryan Sprague, and This One Time On Psychedelics isn’t just about trippy stories and wild journeys (though trust me, we have plenty of those). It’s about the conversations that hold the power to awaken us, to shift our consciousness, and to remind us that there is far more to this reality than meets the eye.
These are the conversations that expand hearts, challenge perspectives, and guide us back to the wisdom that has always been within us. Whether through plant medicines, altered states, or the everyday magic woven into life itself, this is a space where we step beyond the known and into the infinite.
The psychedelic renaissance is here. The future is unwritten. And you, my friend, are a part of it.
So buy the ticket. Take the ride. And let’s see how deep this trip goes.
This One Time On Psychedelics
Episode 160: Stepping Into The 5 Season World Of The New Calendar (feat. Tom Sherman)
When we feel into our day to day experience of life, it’s no mystery that no system is more present in our lives than that of time. That being said, have you ever stopped to notice how confusing & strange the Gregorian calendar system we utilize throughout the world is? For me, I had noticed this from time to time, yet had never felt deeply into it due to the fact that as I was growing up, everyone else seemed to be fine with it & as such, I didn’t ask many questions on it. Luckily for me & all of you listeners, todays guest DID question this & over the last decade has developed an entirely new system of cataloguing our yearly time sequence in his project, appropriately named “The New Calendar.” In this episode, we first dive into the role that psychedelic medicines played in him beginning to question the Gregorian calendar system before moving into more of what the system actually looks like, why we’ve been utilizing the Gregorian calendar for so long, his hopes for the future of time measurement & much, much more!
