AllΒ of the world's cultures have always known how to leave the body. They call it astral projection, soul travel, or simply the vision. For most of human history, this was a way to connect with ancestors, ask gods for guidance, and look for life-altering information.
The West drifted away from all of that. And the people who still carry these traditions rarely open their doors to outsiders.
I asked seven of them to sit down with me anyway. The conversations I had with each of them stayed with me long after the recordings ended. They made me think about the state of the world, our connection to this earth, and mostly, the return to self. Each one opened my eyes in a different way.
If you're curious enough to want a closer look at what ancient cultures have always known, these are your recordings...
