Behavior Expert Chase Hughes on Materialism, Meaning, and the Stories That Influence Us

Chase is great. It’s ALL theater. I was once asked by a local poet, how I felt about what goes on in the world & I answered…”I am simply always amused. Bc no matter what I see, good bad or otherwise, I’m still amused.” So I’m just thankful for the humor I find in EVERYTHING😊

The 7 Hermetic Principles are: 1. Mentalism. "The ALL is mind, the universe is mental." 2. Correspondence. "As above, so below. As below, so above. As within, so without. As without, so within." 3. Vibration. "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." 4. Polarity. "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites." I personally contemplated this a ton and realized there's not only 2 poles, there's actually three, look closer ;) 5. Rhythm. "Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall." 6. Cause and Effect. "Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law." 7. Gender. "Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes." Materialism is the greatest psyop / control mechanism of all. All evidence of this that is necessary is presented by the pentagram. NOT the reversed pentagram which is a star with its top point facing downward but the upright pentagram with its top point facing up. The points of the star represent elements for lack of a better term. At the top of the star is spirit and then going around in a clockwise motion is water, then fire, then earth, and finally before spirit again is air. This is symbolism that spirit or mind has absolute dominion over the elements, the symbol becomes demonic or unholy when spirit is put BELOW the physical elements symbolizing that the physical elements have dominion over spirit or mind. It is thus I conclude that a purely materialist view is demonic. Also for everyone out there who wants the type of awakening talked about in this video it is not necessary to take psychedelics as the only means of achieving these realizations. I myself achieved them through pattern recognition, reading, writing, meditation and searching for information.

Quote for the day : "If politics were about results, it wouldn't take a lot of attention, it wouldn't require performance, and cameras". Love it❤

Chase is the man never a wasted minute listening to this legend

Thank you for featuring Chase. He has so much to give. His work changed me, and I’m forever grateful. ❤️

This is exactly the kind of intelligent conversations we need to be having right now...love it.

I’ll never forget when I studied politics in college, the politicians were called “players” and everything they said or did was called “plays.” The elites know it’s a game. They have to keep this a secret for it all to work.

A living legend. Ty for having Chase on.

This hit me deeply. When you said “why can’t you see from your stomach?”, I instantly remembered the kinds of questions I had as a kid. I used to ask things like: “Why is it that when I move my right leg, this can’t be how I move my left arm?” Not because I was confused about the body — but because I was questioning why consciousness is mapped the way it is in the first place. I’ve realized I’ve always been a very deep thinker, but growing up, most of the answers I got were just:“Don’t think too much.” And I honestly think that created a lot of fear in me as a child, because I never felt understood in the way I experienced reality. Your video reminded me that some people aren’t overthinking — they’re just deeply aware.

As a mother of three young men that are trying to find their way in a very wild time. I very much appreciate this.

I’m a big fan of Chase Hughes. Thanks so much for doing this interview. Great job, Gentlemen.

I’m only 16 minutes in and I can already tell I was lead here to hear this message.

Chase is in the world to wake up those who sleep. I'm only watching this video because of his participation.

25:30 Indigenous communities here in Mexico call psilocybin mushrooms "Niños Santos" (Holy Children). The experience Chase describes, according to Mexican tradition, is when the Niños Santos are doing their work so we can heal. It's a very complicated feeling to explain, but 100% real.

Chase just changed my life with his story arc theory.

Thank you for bringing Chase Hugues on, I love everything he has to say!

What kids are missing today is the parents to be around to give the talk before the bad attention happens. It's hard to be everything to everybody when just to survive the living expenses alone needs both parents out and working. I feel for the kids...

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ॐ

I remember the night I figured out it was all theatre after peaking on shrooms watching CNN and the actors fucking blew my mind and haven't looked back since 😊

Usually when someone keeps showing you something repeatedly — through words, behaviour, criticism, silence, attention, inconsistency, admiration, or even manipulation — they are often trying to shape one of these things: * how you see yourself * how you see them * what role you play around them * what is “acceptable” in the relationship * what you should emotionally prioritize For example: * Constant criticism can make a person question their worth or stay in a “proving myself” state. * Mixed signals can keep someone emotionally attached and overthinking. * Excessive praise can sometimes create dependency on validation. * Guilt can be used to make someone abandon their own boundaries. * Calm consistent behaviour can also show safety, trust, and emotional maturity. The important part is not only: “What are they showing?” But also: “What happens inside me when they show it?” Because that reveals the energetic dynamic. Ask yourself: * Do I feel smaller or stronger around them? * More confused or more clear? * Like I need to earn love? * Like I can relax and be myself? * Do I leave conversations doubting myself? * Am I constantly trying to decode them? People unconsciously reveal their inner world through repetition. Patterns are usually louder than words. Sometimes a person is not consciously “trying” to make you think anything. They may simply be acting from their own wounds, fears, ego, insecurities, or conditioning. But the effect still matters. A useful question is: “If I stopped listening to their words and only watched their actions, what story would those actions tell?” That usually brings clarity very quickly.11.05.2026❤
