In this spoken monologue, the speaker proposes that external reality is a direct projection of the inner psychological and spiritual state. He frames the idea as a hypothesis he shares with a travel group, then recounts a trip to a Yucatán cenote that seemingly validates the claim. The cenote’s natural formations—a skull‑shaped opening, elephant‑like stalactites, and sweet‑tasting water—are interpreted as symbolic reflections of the group’s unconscious mind, amrita (spiritual nectar), and even the brain’s ventricles. The narrative weaves personal experience with metaphysical concepts, emphasizing that the outer world and other people are not separate from the self but are manifestations of inner consciousness.

You start to go, wait a minute, the world around me is literally a projection of what's going on inside of me. So what, what I did is I told everybody, guys, that's what we're going to do. Well, and I said, and then, you know, we're, we're going to go on this trip and everywhere we go is literally going to be a projection of what's something that's happening inside of you. Start looking at the world that way as a projected reflection. And you have to think. Wait a minute. My unconscious is so complex that it can actually pull all of this together. Well, it does it in dreams all the time. Oh, I told them. Okay, guys, this is what could happen. So we end up going. You know, one of the things that you do in in Yucatan Peninsula is you go to cenotes. Cenote is like this cave that was made from a fragment or a meteor itself that like plunged into the earth, creates this little micro kind of a cave slash. uh, crater, and then you've got ground on top of it, so you have to dig them out, right? They're like aquifers, and the water is super pristine and clear and beautiful. So that was the thing. Well, I told everybody, okay, that's going to be the theme this week, guys. We're going to basically activate this. We end up going to a cenote that, unbeknownst to me, was literally shaped like the face of a skull. It had 2 eye holes. And a mouth. So I'm in there and I'm looking at this and it's like, oh, and I'm tasting the water in this place. There's this beautiful cave. It's shaped just like a face. And I'm like, whoa, this tastes like this kind of nectar. The water had this kind of sweet taste. We're floating in this incredible water. And someone says, oh my gosh, look at the way the stalactites have formed on the walls of this cave. There's an elephant head. Right there. Wow. So then there's elephant heads all around. So people are starting to freak out. They were like, oh my gosh, this is exactly what you said, that the outer world was going to reflect our inner world on exactly what we're doing. And we're swimming in our own remembrance, our own amrita, which is like filling up the ventricles in the brain. That was wild. And, and so you start to go Wait a minute, the world around me is literally a projection of what's going on inside of me. It's not separate from me, just as the people you meet on the street are not separate from you. They are you.
