Join host Anthony Mistretta for a deeply philosophical conversation with Drew McDonald, a software engineer and spiritual seeker who has transformed his life through intentional exploration of consciousness, spirituality, and connection. From growing up homeschooled in rural Alabama to hosting the Free Farm Festival in Colorado, Drew shares his journey through psychedelics, Vipassana meditation retreats, and building a geodesic dome. This wide-ranging discussion explores the nature of time, memory, consciousness, free will, the aether, and what it means to live an authentic life beyond materialism. Drew offers profound insights on manifestation, electromagnetic resonance, the Law of One, and why choosing difficulty might be the path to growth.
