We hear about the benefits of marijuana all the time, but psychedelics are often ignored and demonized, particularly with the United States government saying drugs like mushrooms not having any kind of medicinal benefit. But that’s beginning to fly in the face of what science has been learning, especially when you consider a recent study on the matter.

“Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.” ~ Rumi

Rumi, also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī, was a Sufi mystic, theologian, and Persian poet from the 13th century. His words were loaded with wisdom and power. He was truly incredible.

Below are 25 life changing lessons everyone can learn from Rumi. Hopefully they inspire you to live a more meaningful and beautiful life!

1. Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

“You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.”

Pay close attention to those you share your intimate energy with. Intimacy at the sexual level intertwines your aural energy with the aural energy of the person you’ve been intimate with. These connections are extremely powerful. Regardless of how insignificant they might seem to you, they leave spiritual debris, especially within people who don’t practice any form of physical, emotional, or spiritual cleansing. The more you interact with someone intimately, the deeper the connection and the more their aura is intertwined with yours. Others can sense this energy which can repel positivity and attract negativity into your life.

Wow. Last Week Tonight’s second season debuted with John Oliver taking on one of the most powerful industries on Earth: Big Pharma.

This segment exposes the dark side of pharmaceutical marketing and points a light on companies whose goals are clearly to make money, not help people recover from illness.

“Drug companies are a bit like high school boyfriends,” Oliver says. “They’re much more concerned with getting inside you than being effective once they’re in there.”

Additionally, Oliver talks about how drug companies are twisting the arms of doctors to work for them by giving them flattering titles and shows how doctors are paid to pitch certain drugs by big pharma.
