Psychedelics are to the study of the mind what the microscope is (to biology and the telescope is to astronomy).
Preparing for this talk has been scarier for me than preparing for LSD therapy.
In the 1950s and 60s, psychedelic research flourished all over the world. And environmental destruction. And so I decided to focus my life…
Psychedelics. The world.
Psychedelics (as contrasted) to most of the psychiatric drugs used today that are mostly just reducing symptoms and are meant to be taken on a daily basis. And showed great promise. But most importantly, psychedelics gave me this feeling of our shared humanity, of our unity with all life. Dr. Stanislav Grof spoke those words. He’s one of the leading psychedelic researchers in the world, and he’s also been my mentor. That the earth was no longer the center of the universe.
