The Entheogenic Evolution

This week I begin to articulate my theory of everything, starting with a basic discussion of some of the fundamental principles of philosophy of science, metaphysics and ontology. To be continued next week and possibly beyond . . .

This week I go a little deeper into who/what we are and how to "tap in"

It's time for REALITY 101! Here we go!!!!!!

This week I share a personal breakthrough of working with a feather . . .

We continue our talk with Bill Richards and I officially announce my trip to Peru with Richard Grossman for this summer. We're looking for adventurous individuals who would like to join us for a two-week exploration into Ayahuasca and the sacred medicines of Peru. Stop by at www.martinball.net for details and an application.

This week I interview Bill Richards, one of the lead researchers at Johns Hopkins University in their studies on psilocybin and mystical experience. I also remind everyone to get their tickets to the 5th annual Amazonian Shamanism Conference in Iquitos Peru and mention my name and podcast to help get me down there! www.soga-del-alma.org

We continue our conversation with Thomas B. Roberts with further updates on the Santo Daime trial in Oregon. Also I discuss the 5th Annual Amazonian Shamanism Conference www.soga-del-alma.org - mention my name and the podcast when you buy your ticket and a small portion will go to help to pay my airfare to get me down to Peru to speak at the conference =)

Our guest this week is Thomas B. Roberts, discussing his ideas of the Entheogenic Reformation, the Single State Fallacy, and Academic, Artistic and Religious Freedom regarding entheogen use. Also, we continue with the Gaianbotanicals.com raffle and I share a couple passages from Albert Hofmann's and Ann and Alexander Shulgin's essays in the book, Entheogens and the Future of Religion, by Robert Forte.
