I love to geek 🤓 out with this scientific knowledge about the magic of mushrooms 🍄

So there's this new study from Oregon where they gave psilocybin mushrooms to eight athletes with traumatic brain injuries - boxers, MMA fighters, surfers, and bobsledders.

These people had been living with concussion symptoms that were absolutely wrecking their lives.

They hooked everyone up to EEG machines and did brain scans before and after guided psilocybin sessions.

The changes were visible on the scans - their frontal lobes literally rebalanced themselves.

That's the part of your brain that handles mood and impulse control.

The results were kind of incredible.

Depression dropped, PTSD symptoms improved, and their brains got noticeably better at focusing and making decisions.

One test showed their "noticing and responding" signals got significantly stronger and their brains were physically working better.

The theory is that psilocybin doesn't just mask symptoms like typical treatments.

It actually helps the brain rewire around damage at both the neurological and metabolic level.

We're talking about cellular repair, not just a temporary mood boost.

It's early days. The study was on just eight people and is not peer-reviewed yet.

But former NHL player Daniel Carcillo, who runs the treatment centre, says these athletes are finally coming back to themselves.

If it works for severe repeated head trauma, what could it do for millions with milder injuries?

Most people don’t realize that life doesn’t repeat because of fate — it repeats because of loops.

This image shows two very different cycles we can fall into, often without noticing.

At the center of both is INTENTION.
Not the intention we say we have — but the intention we act from when things get uncomfortable.

🔁 The Victim Loop

This is the loop of unconscious living.

Something happens. A situation triggers discomfort.

Instead of facing it, we:

Ignore what hurts

Deny our role

Blame circumstances or people

Rationalize our behavior

Resist change

Hide from truth

And then… the same situation shows up again.
Different face. Same lesson.

The Victim Loop feels safe because it protects the ego.
But safety comes at a cost: stagnation.

Nothing grows here. Nothing heals here.
Only stories do.

🔁 The Accountability Loop

This is the loop of conscious growth.

The same situation arises — but this time, we choose differently.

We:

Recognize what’s really happening

Own our response, not the story

Forgive ourselves and others

Self-examine without self-attack

Learn the lesson

Take action, even when it’s uncomfortable

This loop doesn’t feel easy.
But it feels free.

Because every pass through it makes you wiser, lighter, and stronger.

⚖️ The Truth Few Talk About

Both loops begin with the same situation.
The difference is choice.

You don’t escape the Victim Loop by blaming less people.
You escape it by telling yourself the truth.

And you don’t enter the Accountability Loop by being perfect.
You enter it by being honest.

🌱 A Gentle Reminder

Accountability is not punishment.
It’s self-respect.

Forgiveness is not weakness.
It’s clarity.

Growth doesn’t happen when life gets easier —
It happens when you get braver.

Ask yourself today:
Which loop am I feeding — and which one is feeding me?

Because the moment you change your loop,
your entire life trajectory shifts.

If used with respect and reverence this earth medicine can be beneficial.

Keep this in mind. And it goes both ways!

Sweden's psilocybin therapy cured depression in 80% of veterans, though DEA keeps Schedule I status
Swedish military hospitals treated combat veterans with severe PTSD and depression using psilocybin mushroom therapy, achieving an 80% cure rate after just two sessions. Veterans who failed to respond to years of traditional antidepressants reported complete symptom elimination within weeks. The treatment works where conventional psychiatry fails.

Psilocybin—the active compound in magic mushrooms—resets the brain's fear and anxiety circuits. During supervised therapy sessions, veterans take a controlled dose and work with therapists while experiencing altered consciousness for 4-6 hours. Brain scans show the drug temporarily dissolves rigid thought patterns that trap people in depression and trauma. It's like rebooting a frozen computer—the psilocybin forces the brain to restart, often eliminating stuck negative patterns that antidepressants only mask.

Yet the US Drug Enforcement Administration maintains psilocybin as Schedule I—the same legal category as heroin—despite overwhelming research proving medical benefits. American veterans with identical PTSD and depression must suffer indefinitely or break federal law to access treatment. The outdated classification stems from 1970s War on Drugs politics, not science. Pharmaceutical companies also lobby against rescheduling since psilocybin therapy requires only 2-3 doses total, unlike daily antidepressants generating billions in recurring profits.

Over 500,000 American veterans live with treatment-resistant PTSD and depression. Twenty-two veterans die by su***de daily. Meanwhile, Swedish, Swiss, and Dutch veterans access psilocybin therapy legally through their national healthcare systems. American veterans watch foreign militaries cure their brothers-in-arms with medicine their own government criminalizes.

How many veteran su***des justify keeping a proven cure illegal?
