This might be the most uncomfortable video I’ve ever made — but it’s also one of the most important.

I’m sharing a deeply personal perspective that challenges common narratives about suffering, identity, and spiritual growth.

I know that not everyone will agree.

And that’s okay, this isn’t about convincing anyone.

It’s about starting an open and honest conversation around how we perceive challenge, pain, and meaning.

If you're on a journey of spiritual awakening or seeking a new lens through which to view the world, I invite you to sit with this message, reflect on your own experiences, and share your thoughts in the comments.

Hey, I’m Ian Vogel—host of Alternate Timelines. My journey started on a small farm in the midwest, where I always felt a little out of place. After years of skepticism and even a stint as an atheist, a near-death experience changed my perspective on everything. Since then, I’ve explored plant medicine, past life memories, and the mysteries of consciousness. Now, I’m sharing those experiences to help others navigate their own awakening. Through real stories, deep conversations, and wild explorations of the unknown, we’re building a community where it’s okay to question reality. You’re not alone in the unknown. 👽✨
