This episode cuts straight into the heart of the newest cultural hallucination: “You’re going to live forever.”

Tech prophets preach it. Biohackers sell it. Billionaires chase it.

But beneath the glossy promise lies the oldest human terror—the fear of dying, the fear of suffering, and the illusion that immortality is a birthright.

Into this spiritual crossfire steps Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester—Madrinha, Torchbearer, transpersonal counselor, and Founder of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime church she established in 1997 to restore sacred memory to the North.

A bridge between worlds, Jessica carries lineages shaped by Assagioli’s psychosynthesis and Grof’s holotropic vision, guiding seekers through the fire of self-confrontation for more than forty years. She is an ordained Interfaith Minister, Doctor of Divinity, and author of the two-volume Ayahuasca Awakening. From 2000 to 2017, she protected the Santo Daime sacrament under a rare Section 56 Exemption—holding the line between the state and the sacred.

In this conversation, we explore:

The rise of immortality culture and why it’s erupting right nowHow the denial of death creates spiritual adolescence on a civilizational scaleWhy the elders who refuse to let go end up stealing the future from the youngThe old-world gatekeepers—those who “can’t chew the leather” but still block the trailPsychedelic traditions that teach how to die before you dieTrue spiritual adulthood as a path of responsibility, humility, and powerCeremony as an antidote to the immortality fantasyThe difference between lineage and lifestyle branding in a world full of charlatans

Jessica reminds us that the crisis isn’t mortality—it’s stagnation.

A culture that refuses to die can never be reborn.

This episode is a calling, a confrontation, and a torch passed.

Lean in. Listen deeply. The future belongs to those willing to mature.
