This shift towards mental health and personal developement makes a lot of sense, especially after covering heavy political topics for so long. The Network School in Malaysia sounds like a fascinatin environment for this kind of transition. Curious how your conversations with people like Glenn Greenwald will adapt to this new focus, since he's so deeply rooted in politics. The blend of psychedelics and meditation coverage could open up really interesting converstions.

Rav, the move is critical for your improvement in communication written or spirit. The psychedelic aspect should be guided under supervision there is much that one must prepare to achieve to release many things to greater awareness of universe and self to be able to look at body systems to heal them. There is so much potential and wish you success in your life and infinitive future

A month ago! Big changes. At the Network School I’ve found more community, friendships, and overall life enhancement.

Haha she is...but she knows this is best for me and also important to let her re-gain some independence now in her 50s when she's dedicated the lat 3 decades to me and my siblings.

Here's info on Network School:

You're welcome to apply and come for a month sometime if you'd like. It's on an island near Singapore.

Hi Rav, Considering your new direction, I'd like to be interviewed on your show. I have taught the Transcendental Meditation technique to close to a thousand people. Have been practicing TM for 53 years - since I was 19. I'd like to share Maharishi's perspective on psychedelics. I'd like to discuss all the higher states of human consciousness in detail and the published research verifying these higher states. I'm well versed in published research meditation techniques in general. Alter.systems is the only AI that even comes close to truly comprehending meditation research. I've also been active in health freedom for 15 years, which is how I knew about your substack. I'm looking forward to our conversation.

The shift towards mental health and personal growth makes a lot of sense. Politics can be exhausting and there's somthing refreshing about focusing on the fundamentals of human wellbeing. Network School in Malaysia sounds like an interesting experiment in comunity building. Looking forward to hearing the lineup with Bret Weinstein and Maajid Nawaz, those will be fasinating conversations.
