This week I read an essay from my forthcoming book, the Entheogenic Evolution, where I propose a metaphysics of energy that might explain everything from physical objects to consciousness and living beings. Curious?
We continue our conversation with Jan Irvin from GnosticMedia.com about early Christianity and psychedelic mushrooms
This is the first in a two-part discussion with Jan Irvin from GnosticMedia.com about John Allegro's research indicating that Jesus was not an actual person but rather a psychedelic mushroom. Jan is the co-author of the book Astrotheology and Shamanism, is the co-producer of The Pharmacratic Inquisition, and is the author of the forthcoming, The Holy Mushroom. All are available at www.gnosticmedia.com (an earlier version of this episode that had some sound level problems has now been corrected and replaced)
This week we visit once again with Hal and learn about the Temple of Awakening Divinity, which uses 5-MeO-DMT as a ceremonial sacrament
Our conversation with Dr. Rick Strassman continues this week with topic ranging from the importance of psychedelic states in the Old Testament to Strassman's vision for the Cottonwood Research Foundation (www.cottonwoodresearch.org)
Rick Strassman shares thoughts on DMT, UFO's, aliens, spiritual realities, psychedelic research and more with a reading of the transcript of the recent interview I did with Strassman in New Mexico. Part 1 of a two-part episode.
Part I of a 2 part episode with an amazing interview with Timothy White, editor of Shaman's Drum magazine.
This week I continue the discussion from the previous episode, focusing more on the legal issues surrounding the use of entheogens as a spiritual or religious practice. I talk about the Constitution, the Supreme Court, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, The Native American Church, and the recent decision regarding the UDV's religious use of hosca.
The first part of a 2 (or more?) part talk about shamans, mystics, and the law. What is direct spiritual experience? How is it different from religion? Is direct spiritual experience protected by the law, and if not, why?
It's all about Salvia divinorum this week, plus news about Rick Strassman's Cottonwood Research Foundation
