Show Notes

Todays esteemed guest is Dr Ted Achacoso, who is a remarkable scientific polymath and a literal genius (an IQ score of 140 indicates that you are a genius while Dr Ted's IQ ranges somewhere between 186 and 210.) He is also experienced in meditation, and eastern and western esotericism, and has explored the use of psychedelics for consciousness expansion. 

He is:

  • A very advanced practitioner of Ancient Tibetan Bonpo shamanism and Dzogchen. 
  • A pharmacologist and neuroscientist has taken interest into psychedelics and their relationship to enlightened living. 
  • Is a proponent of visionary art and has opened a visionary art gallery in Washington, DC.
  • Is a pioneering researcher into neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence.

We spoke today about finding freedom from suffering by discovering a consilience of world-views and perspectives, and by merging apparently divergent fields of study such as science, art, religion, and spirituality.
