We<\/em> Wouldn’t Argue with a UFC Fighter About the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne person you sure wouldn\u2019t <\/em>argue about it with is a UFC fighter. Especially one who has a professional record of 22-7 with 11 TKOs (Total Knock Outs)<\/em> to his name. And that name is Kevin Holland. Recently, on the podcast \u2018The Fighter vs. The Writer\u2019 29 year old Holland shared his clairvoyant psychedelic experience;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cmark my f**king words. I\u2019m going to be the champ. I popped some [mushrooms] about a couple weeks ago and I had these visions, and I\u2019m going to be champ.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis trip was actually Holland\u2019s first experience with magic mushrooms;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy first time popping shrooms and they say you see the future. I\u2019ve seen the future,\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kevin-holland.jpeg\")
Kevin Holland in the ring (via Youtube)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHolland is not the first fighter who has spoken candidly about their use of magic mushrooms and other psychedelics for healing. Mike Tyson<\/a>, Jake Paul<\/a> and members and organizers of the UFC<\/a> have championed the therapeutic potential of these substances \u2014 key for those whose livelihood is based on getting repeatedly injured. However, Holland is the first to describe it as a tool for seeing his professional career unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nA Self-Fulfilling Prophecy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It’s a fascinating concept. Holland, as we have stated above, is a very qualified, skilled and popular fighter. There\u2019s no reason he couldn\u2019t <\/em>be champ \u2014 shroom predictions or otherwise. But, there is something to be said for him having seen <\/em>this \u2018future\u2019. It is much easier to achieve something if we already \u2018know\u2019 we can do it. Similarly to visualizing and manifesting your goals, a vision of the future can make it more likely to come true, because to you it is already true. A self-fulfilling prophecy<\/a> you might say.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nObviously, only time will tell if Holland\u2019s prediction will come true. In his case It’s quite a binary example . He\u2019ll either triumph or he won’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Unless the whole thing is a metaphor for being the champ of people’s hearts?!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nReddit is a Trove of Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
But what about the other psychonauts who\u2019ve seen the \u2018future\u2019? Well, there\u2019s a whole slew of them on Reddit, as you might expect, with people describing visions they have had, and whether they have yet come to pass. For example, a user called TickleMonster528 describes his shroom vision about his future with a woman he was yet to start dating;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI drifted off, not sleeping but almost like a daydream, and I saw my future\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe best way to describe it was like a montage of moments, and I not only saw these snippets and flashes of a life that wasn\u2019t mine yet, but I also felt the emotions. I saw good moments, bad moments, and everything in between…Then I saw our life together, our kid, and everything else.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nNot long after this, he and this woman did <\/em>get together, and within a couple of months she was <\/em>pregnant. The user describes only feeling slightly surprised at this news \u2014 as part of him knew it would happen already.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wholecelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dreaming-of-the-future.jpg\")
