- The Joe Rogan experience.
- The wildest one is religion.
- Go on.
- That they're tax-free.
- Oh.
- The amount of money-- - Impossible.
- A guy like Joel Osteen is raking in tax-free.
Does he have to pay any taxes?
Does he have to personally pay taxes?
How does that work?
If the religion is tax exempt-- - I actually have no idea.
- Find out if that's true.
- I believe that your limited salary
if your church is incorporated.
- But having churches pay no taxes is wild.
- But that speaks to stability.
Where it's like, it's cahoots stability.
It's like, the Bill of Rights and the Ten Commandments,
they're not exactly one-to-one,
but it's all kind of, there's no coincidence there.
Where it's like, everything that they,
it's another wing of the,
it's a, I used to refer to God as super cop.
Like, we can't be there, but you shun out steel,
you shun out, even if there's no cameras,
don't steal, don't murder, don't-- - Right, but the taxes
thing is nuts, 'cause Scientology got it.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah?
- Yeah, they sued.
They sued the federal government,
and they got tax exempt status.
And, you know, that's wild,
because you know the guy who wrote it.
Like, he's just one specific guy, who is the, not just, the most, he's the most
prolific author in human history.
- Mm-hmm. - You know that? He published more works of fiction, but not that.
That was all real.
- No, no, no, no, I mean, look, the guy's gotta take the day off.
- And they get no taxes, it's pretty wild.
I mean, if you're like a small Lutheran church, and you, you know, you serve
the community,
and you put on charities, and do a bunch of great things, and you're like a
real asset.
- Yeah. - There's a lot of those churches, and they should be tax exempt.
- I don't, other than, like, the Sea Org slave shit, I don't care about Scientology.
Do you know what I mean? - Right.
- Like, I don't think that they're, they charge for classes.
I don't know, they kind of make you give them a tithe at churches.
- Seems like it's working out for Tom Cruise.
- It's working out for a lot of them.
- Seems like it's really working out for Tom Cruise.
- That's why I was saying, like, I don't care.
Just don't put people's, don't slave people.
- Yeah, don't do that.
- Don't kidnap Kelly Miscavige and all that shit.
- Yeah, don't do that. - But, like, the rest of it, I don't care about.
The rest of it's not any different to me than any other religion.
- It seems like it's real similar to what goes on in a lot of religions, in a
sense,
because there's a lot of religions that force people to work as missionaries,
and there's a lot of religions that, you know, ask things of people,
and you have to tithe 10%.
- And have kids and don't use birth control.
I'm like, that's pretty significant.
- Yeah, it's very significant, yeah, yeah.
Punish gay people.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
There's a lot of weird stuff in religions that we just accept.
- Yeah.
- But didn't you say that, I think you said this, that when you had a psychedelic
experience,
you kind of stopped being an atheist?
- Yeah, I was an atheist, and then ayahuasca journey number four, no, journey
number three.
Oh, I'm in the presence of God.
I'm just in it now.
And it's not, they, I mean, again, this is what I experienced.
So it's not true or false, but it's a, that's a central creation force that I
experienced.
There was, you know, it didn't say, it didn't have any rules or laws or...
- Did you get a sense of what this whole thing is supposed to be?
Like what are we doing? Like if, if there's a central creation force and you
interacted with it,
like what does it, what does it want?
What does it want from us? And what is it doing with like life?
- I, my experience, this was from the Bufo, not ayahuasca, which I, is amazing.
Bufo is just too rough for me.
I, I was drowning on incomprehensibility.
I don't think it's comprehensible what the purpose is.
My, that's my experience.
I don't, I didn't even get love from it.
I didn't get hate, I didn't get venom.
Yeah. I just got indifference.
I just got like super powerful, just power force.
Yeah. Just force.
It felt magnetic in a weird way.
So is Bufo five methoxy?
Yeah, it's five, it's uh, yeah, five MEO.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is a very different feeling.
That's a very different, uh, experience.
That, that, that one, I really thought it was gone.
I thought I, I died.
I mean, it, dude, I didn't, even when I was here last time, I wasn't totally.
Yeah.
Recovered.
I feel like there's some sort of trend, um, in life and in, in, in the cosmos
of things getting more complex.
And, you know, I'm not the first person to point this out either.
Um, but with human beings in particular, everything is about technological
innovation
and things becoming more, more complexed and information being more and more
accessible
and being more and more connected with each other.
Yeah.
It seems like a really, really obvious trend.
And if you play that trend out, you know, a thousand years, a hundred thousand
years,
a million years, like where, where is that going?
And is that going on all over the universe?
And is that what God's doing is God all about this constant state of
improvement that it goes
on forever until you reach like literally like a God-like being where?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the thing with, with, uh, I, uh, I had a few kind of rapture experience,
like
ish rapture-ish.
I just get the feeling that if, if like when, if there was a rapture or
whatever, I just
think people will go, wow, this was, we fucking were really worried about the
wrong shit.
For sure.
Like beyond even our comprehend, like beyond our beyond, so far past what we
were like,
not even worried about, uh, or war or any of that stuff.
It's like, dude, it's just about this energy field that I couldn't make heads
or tails of
in terms of like, we're supposed to.
Well, if you think of amoebas, if you think of single celled organisms,
they eventually become multi-celled organisms. They, they develop the ability
to move around
and they, they come on shore and they evolve and change. And this goes on
forever and ever and ever.
And then one day in 2022, they're us. That's what we are. We're the most
advanced form that we're
aware of, of that thing. If that keeps going, maybe that is what creates the
universe itself.
Maybe the universe is making itself through us. We're just in this amoeba stage
and we can't
even comprehend it. To us, it's like, what are you talking about? We're going
to change the world?
Like imagine an amoeba being born in the bottom of a volcano silo, you know, in
the bottom of the
oceans.
I felt like an amoeba on, on 5-AMEO.
Yeah. Well, you basically probably are. I think we probably all are a version
of that
in comparison to this ultimate thing that we're going to become. If, if we do
keep evolving,
if, if evolution is a real thing and it did go from single celled organisms to
what we see now in human beings,
if you just keep going, that should, that should get to some place of
impossible
energy and power. And maybe the universe itself, like maybe that's what it's
made out of. Maybe
that's how we make things like stars. And maybe the universe itself is born out
of this. And we're just
this really tiny stage, this amoeba-like stage that will ultimately become the
God force of the universe.
Maybe that's our ultimate transition between a physical being into this thing
of energy and love
and light and power and, and indifference in many ways to our own plights,
because it's, it's
necessary to achieve this purpose. Like all of our bullshit and maybe all of
our struggles and maybe
all of our debates about things and trying to figure out what's white and what's
wrong and whose
philosophy is correct and whose behavior is correct. Maybe all of that is just
trying to get us to that
ultimate stage where we're going to be. And that's what happens everywhere in
the universe. That's the
universe creating itself everywhere, all over the place. When things get, and
they have a certain
amount of troubles that they have to deal with, whether it's tribal invasions
or super volcanoes and
figure it out, get to a point where you can become the next thing.
- Yeah. - And then on and on and on and on and on and on forever.
- Yeah. I mean, that's, I would, it, my, especially my, my five MEO
experience was about having no sense of order whatsoever. Meaning I was an amoeba.
I didn't
know what breathing was. I didn't know what direction was. I don't know what
sight was. I didn't know
fucking anything. - Yeah.
- And I was str, I was drowning on, I don't know any, I don't know what a
thought is.
It was really incredibly difficult. Like it's hard beyond. And so that's what I've
come away from.
One of the things I've come away from it with is, is this sense of like, we're
just trying to order
things more than anything. Like that's our number one sort of human priority.
Cause it's like the best
way to survive. And I feel like we're ordering for the wrong stuff a lot of the
time, but it's inevitable.
