In this episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu interviews Jamie Wheal, executive director of the Flow Genome Project, about altered states of consciousness and ultimate human performance. They discuss the $4 trillion economy surrounding the desire to alter brain chemistry, delving into meditation, flow states, and psychedelic experiences. Wheal explains the neurobiology of flow and how it relates to various practices, including meditation and psychedelic use, and the potential dangers of unchecked access to these states. They also explore the use of technology like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and EEG feedback to induce flow states and accelerate learning, as well as the ethical considerations of performance enhancement and the impact of technology on human evolution and societal division. Wheal emphasizes the importance of open-sourcing techniques for achieving ecstasy, or stepping outside oneself, to promote love, connection, and positive change in the world.
