“I am a little saddened and yet not surprised to see lower reviews than I believe this deserves. He addresses topics that are likely taboo to some, which I assume is the motivation for the low ratings.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI absolutely adored it. He has such a sweet and calming presence, and lovely delivery. He gets right to the meat of the matter regarding consciousness and offers solid and compassionate interpretations of the roots of homophobia. Then he brings in the subject of mind altering substances, which was a major delight for me to see in the midst of our current psychedelic renaissance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am so inspired and delighted that this is a prominent offering on Netflix.”
