Xian Archive returns for its 4th season featuring new guests and some of the deepest topics yet. For the season premiere Matt is joined by filmmaker John Chavez. John is the director of the film DMT Quest, which is one of the more recent films on the powerful psychedelic that seems to transport users into higher dimensions of consciousness. During the conversation John shares his story of spontaneous Kundalini Awakening, which sparked his interest in learning about endogenous DMT, or DMT that exists within the body, as a catalyst for his experience. The two then explore the signs and symptoms of Kundalini, the science behind endogenous DMT, and the story of the film DMT Quest, which is available to watch on YouTube, and much more.
