As corruption gets exposed and old systems crumble around us, how do you know which way to turn?
The news changes daily. Institutions we once trusted reveal their deceptions. The ground beneath our feet feels increasingly unstable. In times like these, reliance on experts and authorities can become unreliable—and in many cases dangerous.
But there's another way to navigate uncertainty.
In Chapter 2 of The Psychedelic Path, I share what happened when I learned to follow what I call "The Pull"—an internal guidance system that moves you toward the experiences and growth you need.
As the world becomes more chaotic, those who can access their inner guidance will have be able to navigate the changes more effectively than those who have not developed powerful inner guidance. It's practical survival wisdom for navigating collapse.

#ayahuascaexperience #prophecy #corruption #spiritualawakening
In 2009, deep in the Amazon rainforest, I received a vision that seemed impossible at the time.I was shown the systematic collapse of civilization's three pillars: economy, ecology, and society. I witnessed corruption being exposed at every level. I saw humanity facing two possible futures—one horrific beyond description, the other challenging but leading to unprecedented awakening.
Now, 16 years later, I watch in stunned recognition as that vision unfolds exactly as I was shown.In Chapter 1 of The Psychedelic Path, I share what happened that night when a mosquito "speared my third eye" and launched me into the most intense visionary experience of my life up to that point.This chapter reveals:
I realized that this wasn't just a "trip," but a prophetic vision that explains why our world feels like it's simultaneously falling apart and waking up.
I believe the shaman knew something when he filled my bowl to the brim. What I received that night was meant to be shared now, as we watch the prophecy unfold.

This is the introduction to Richard L Haight's book The Psychedelic Path.
"I'm a purist," I told my teacher. "I don't believe psychedelics are necessary for awakening."I was absolutely convinced that anyone serious about spiritual growth should awaken on their own, without chemical assistance. It was a core belief I'd held for decades.Then I felt an undeniable pull to try ayahuasca.
In The Psychedelic Path, I share what happened when I was forced to choose between my rigid ideology and my inner guidance. What followed was a two-year exploration that completely transformed my understanding of consciousness, awakening, and what's truly possible.
I don't advocate for or against psychedelics. Instead, I offer something rarer: brutal honesty about both the transcendent and the terrifying, backed by science and grounded in decades of disciplined meditation.
Whether you're curious about psychedelics, opposed to them, or somewhere in between, this book will challenge your assumptions and sharpen your inner guidance.

Imagine you had a vision, a premonition, of the future that came true exactly as you saw it during mystical experience, what would that tell you about reality?
That's exactly what happened to me. Only, I had to tell my martial arts teacher about the premonition before it came true, suspecting that he would think me crazy or worse -- kick me out of the dojo.
In Chapter 9 of The Unbound Soul, I share what happened when I returned to Japan and told my martial arts master about the Amazon vision. Instead of thinking I was crazy, he agreed to help me explore this mysterious path. What we discovered defied everything we thought we knew about human potential.
This Chapter is about discovering abilities that seem impossible until you experience them yourself. It's about proving that consciousness can sometimes be more powerful than physical force. We were testing whether love could literally stop violence.

Do you feel like the world has gone completely insane? Like corruption is being exposed everywhere you look, and everything you once trusted is crumbling?
There might be a reason for that.
In Chapter 8 of The Unbound Soul, I share a vision I received in the Amazon rainforest in 2009—fifteen years ago. What I was shown that night seemed impossible at the time. Now, watching the world unfold, it feels like I'm witnessing a prophecy come to life.
This chapter reveals:- The ancient ceremony that opened a doorway to profound revelation- What I was shown about the exposure of global corruption- Why this chaos might be necessary for humanity's evolution- Why I was so overwhelmed I couldn't speak about it for years- I'm talking about specific insights into what's happening right now—the systematic exposure of lies, the collapse of trusted institutions, the awakening that's spreading across the planet.
What I witnessed in that jungle ceremony fifteen years ago explains why our world feels like it's simultaneously falling apart and waking up.
The vision was both terrifying and hopeful. And it's unfolding exactly as I was shown.

#visionquest #spiritualexperience #alone This is the 7th segment of The Unbound Soul: A Visionary Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. Subscribe to be notified when the next segment is shared.
What would happen if you spent four days and nights completely alone in the wilderness—no food, no distractions, no escape from your own mind?
In Chapter 7 of The Unbound Soul, I share my journey into one of humanity's oldest spiritual practices: the vision quest. Following an inner calling I couldn't ignore, I found myself in a small circle deep in the Pine Barrens forest, with nothing but my thoughts for company.
What I experienced there was both more challenging and more profound than I ever imagined.
This isn't a survival story—it's about what happens when you strip away every distraction and face yourself completely. About discovering that your greatest enemy and your greatest teacher might be the same thing.
The vision quest changed how I saw everything: nature, silence, my own mind, and what it truly means to be alive.

Have you ever seen something so impossible that it forced you to question everything you believed about reality?
In Chapter 6 of The Unbound Soul, I share what happened when an inner calling led me halfway around the world to a martial arts dojo in Japan. What I witnessed there that first night left me—and a skeptical martial arts journalist—absolutely stunned.
A master demonstrated techniques that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Students twice his size were effortlessly thrown with barely any movement at all. When the journalist demanded to test it himself, what followed changed everything we thought we knew about human potential.
This chapter reveals:
The mysterious inner guidance that led me to Japan
Why I abandoned everything familiar to pursue an ancient art
The moment my worldview was shattered by what seemed impossible
How a chance encounter with a "glowing" student opened an entirely new path
But this isn't just about martial arts. It's about what happens when we follow our deepest calling, even when it leads us into the unknown.
Chapter 6 shows how the most profound transformations often begin with a single moment of witnessing something that shouldn't be possible... yet is.
