Love you!!!

Lissy Astrology says:

Thank you 🙋🏻‍♀️

cortezsb says:

I really want to know how rich roll's experience on psylosybin or ayahuasca would go and whether or not It would accelerate or open new paths on his spiritual journey 🧐

S KJ says:

up to 12.07 min goosebumps over goosebumps… oh, and nice pun, too.
🤩💞

evska2012 says:

sweet, but totally delusional unfortunately…

Fowchiii LIED, PUPPIES DIED says:

She is so right on. I come from academia as a professor, and I left, due to wokeness. Which is 100% devoid of spirituality.

Diary of a Running Coach says:

Will you be opening a Rumble account and uploading your videos there too at any point? I am keen to keep listening to your podcasts although feel more than ever that it's time to abandon YouTube.

arzu kiratli says:

John Lennon presence felt, thank you

J Savino says:

Loved guided and never alone

J Savino says:

“Fellow living being” i also say “a fellow child of god”

J Savino says:

God is real and she’s black

Silly Swastika says:

It sounds like I can as a Gen-Xer claim Millennials as a religion. #worshiptheyouth #sprat

julia huffman says:

I am so grateful to hear this conversation. I have known this since I was a child, now its being taught. Thank you Lisa Miller and Rich!

Abc Abc says:

America rarely reports on international news. The culture / climate will become more international when the outlets stop being so uni cultured.

Benjamin Fargen says:

Love this. Lisa Miller is a breath of fresh air. Thanks, Rich.

kiminec says:

I loved this! Thank you so much! I'm also a person in long-term recovery (2/5/1987) that recently started a private group called "We're All Recovering From Something" that focuses more on the spiritual aspects of practicing the "principles in ALL of our affairs." Trail angels unite! <3

Andy Spencer says:

Wow! This is so optimistic and validating. I remember thinking when I was younger that we definitely needed some sort of ritual or ceremony to acknowledge the transition from childhood to adulthood. You are 100% accurate with this searching for truth and connection that we begin at this age.

Laura Holloway says:

Also, Rich, as a friend whom you've not yet met (but thank you for including my laughter on your "Prophets" episode!), it seemed to me you were not quite settled on the question of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, from the perspective of one who chooses to be sober. I would be interested in having this conversation with you, personally, should you wish to consider another perspective, and experience (from one who also finds tremendous value in sobriety). I have many thoughts on the subject, for sure. 🙏🏼❤️✨🐾

Laura Holloway says:

Loved loved loved this conversation. Especially having a teenager. Listening to it a second time, now.

jjmwari says:

Dr. Miller has articulated what I have always known innately and spiritually. Thank you for the validation. Rich, I am always looking out for your podcasts that validate who we are at our core.

Trust Love says:

This is why Veganism is such a significant tool of awakening consciousness and making the connection. If you watch any of Earthing Ed's content you will see he refers to animals as BEINGS, as SOMEONE. The way indigenous elders will call trees, stones, plants, animals their relatives…Once we acknowledge Unitive Consciousness by languaging it, we authenticate it, and an inherent, emergent intelligence & it will arise and transform our collective experience into COMPASSION & WISDOM <3
