ACID DIARIES

A Psychonaut's Guide to the History and Use of LSD
Toward the end of his fifties, Christopher Gray took, for the first time in years, a 100-microgram acid trip. So extraordinary, and to his surprise so enjoyable, were the effects that he began to take the same dose in the same way - quietly and on his own - once every two to three weeks.
In THE ACID DIARIES, Gray details his experimentation with LSD over a period of three years and shares the startling realisation that his visions were weaving an ongoing story from trip to trip, revealing an underlying reality of personal and spiritual truths. Following the theories of Stanislav Grof and offering quotes from others' experiences that parallel his own - including those of Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann and Gordon Wasson - he shows that trips progress through three stages: the first dealing with personal issues and pre-birth consciousness; the second with ego-loss, often with supernatural overtones and the third with sacred, spiritual and, even apocalyptic themes. Pairing his experiences with an exploration of psychedelic use throughout history, including the ergot-spawned mass hallucinations that were common through the Middle Ages and the early use of LSD for therapeutic purposes, Gray offers readers a greater understanding and appreciation for the potential value of LSD not merely for transpersonal growth but, also, for spiritual development.

ANIMALS AND PSYCHEDELICS
The Natural World and its Instinct to Alter Consciousness

ISBN 10: 0892819863
The Natural World and its Instinct to Alter Consciousness
From caffeine-dependent goats to nectar addicted ants the animal kingdom offers amazing examples of wild animals and insects seeking out and consuming the psychoactive substances in their environments. Author Giorgio Samorini explores this little-known phenomenon and suggests that far from being confined to humans the desire to experience altered states of consciousness is a natural drive shared by all living beings and that animals engage in these behaviours deliberately. Rejecting the Western cultural assumption that using drugs is a negative action or the result of an illness Samorini opens our eyes to the possibility that beings who consume psychedelics - whether humans or animals - contribute to the evolution of their species by creating entirely new patterns of behaviour that eventually will be adopted by other members of that species. The author's fascinating accounts of mushroom-loving reindeer intoxicated birds and drunken elephants ensure that readers will never view the animal world in quite the same way again. · Throws out behaviourist theories that claim animals have no consciousness. · Offers a completely new understanding of the role psychedelics play in the development of consciousness in all species. · Reveals drug use to be a natural instinct.

The Visionary and Healing Powers of the Vine of the Soul
AYAHUASCA is an autobiographical account of the author's work with ayahuasca a potent and sacred plant brew of the Amazon region that is known for its extraordinary visionary and healing powers. As she learned from her experience with the help of ayahuasca we are able to grasp our paradoxical nature the first step to acceptance of ourselves in both our glorious and dark aspects. Ayahuasca teaches us how to release the illusions we hold about ourselves and makes it possible to integrate our many diverse aspects to acquire our true power. This book reveals the ritual protocols that must be followed prior to partaking of ayahuasca including the traditional preparatory diet--which requires enduring austere conditions isolation and only small amounts of bland food before receiving the powers of the plant spirit from an ayahuasquero a healing master-and the sacred songs icaros that are sung when imbibing the substance. Although the use of ayahuasca is growing among underground spiritual seekers and through the burgeoning ayahuasca tourism trade in South America few of its seekers understand how it is used traditionally and the importance of the rituals the indigenous people follow. With this book the author hopes to restore the importance of these indigenous practices so that we may truly understand all the gifts of ayahuasca. ¨ Reveals the protocols of a traditional ayahuasca retreat and the importance of its ritual diet isolation and sacred songs ¨ Relates an extensive personal account of the traditional indigenous use of ayahuasca for healing and revelation

Conversations about Leary, the Harvard Experiments, Millbrook and the Sixties
BIRTH OF A PSYCHEDELIC CULTURE shines a bright light on the exploratory culture of the time and experiments undertaken by Professors Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) and, then-graduate student, Ralph Metzner. Based on a series of recent (2003 to 2005) conversations between the survivors of that distinguished trio, Metzner and Alpert, facilitated by psychiatrist/writer Gary Bravo, the book describes their initial experiments with mind-altering substances while at Harvard. It goes on to cover experiments they conducted after being dismissed from Harvard, their trips to India and their reflections looking back through time at all of the above. It is filled with intriguing photographs marking and illuminating the events brought to life through the text.
Experiment advisors, supporters and participants who appear in the pages of this astonishing account include Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Arthur Koestler, William Burroughs and many other well-known personalities from that time period.
No understanding of the history of the sixties would be complete without some grasp of the work of Leary, Alpert and Metzner, the backlash to their experiments and the way in which drug use became absorbed into society thereafter. Nor can any diligent attempt to study the spectrum of the human mind exclude what we have learned from them about the impact of psychedelic drugs.

BRIEF HISTORY OF DRUGS
From the Stone Age to the Stoned Age
ISBN: 9780892818266
ISBN 10: 0892818263
From the Stone Age to the Stoned Age
From remotest antiquity to the present era of designer drugs and interdiction drugs have played a prominent role in the cultural spiritual and social development of civilisations. Antonio Escohotado demonstrates how the history of drugs illuminates the history of humanity as he explores the long relationship between mankind and mind-altering substances. Hemp for example has been used in India since time immemorial to stimulate mental agility and sexual prowess. Professor Escohotado, also, looks at the present-day differences that exist between the more drug-tolerant societies like Holland and Switzerland and countries advocating complete repression of these substances. The choice we face today is to teach people how to use drugs correctly or to continue to indiscriminately demonise them. Just say no the author says is not an option. Just say know is. ¨

DMT : THE SPIRIT MOLECULE

ISBN: 9780892819270
ISBN 10: 0892819278
A Doctors Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Out-of-Body Near-Death and Mystical Experiences
From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is a riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT a plant-derived chemical that is also manufactured by the human brain consistently produced out-of-body near-death and mystical experiences. Many volunteers reported convincing encounters with intelligent nonhuman presences : angels aliens and spirits. Nearly all felt that the sessions were among the most profound experiences of their lives. Strassman's research connects DMT with the pineal gland considered by Hindus to be the site of the seventh chakra and by René Descartes to be the seat of the soul. DMT: THE SPIRIT MOLECULE makes the bold case that DMT naturally released by the pineal gland facilitates the soul's movement in and out of the body and is an integral part of the birth and death experiences as well as the highest states of meditation and even sexual transcendence. Strassman also believes that alien abduction experiences are brought on by accidental releases of DMT. If used wisely DMT could trigger a period of remarkable progress in the scientific exploration of the most mystical regions of the human mind and soul.

Oneirogens: Salvia Divinorum and Other dream Enhancing Plants
Oneirogens are plant and animal substances that have long been used to facilitate powerful and productive dreaming. From the beginning of civilisation dreams have guided the inner and outer life of human beings both in relation to each other and to the divine. For centuries shamans have employed oneirogens in finding meaning and healing in their dreams. · Includes extensive monographs on dream-enhancing substances derived from plant animal and human sources · Presents the results of scientific experiments on the effects of using oneirogens · Shows how studies in this area of ethnobotany can yield a scientific understanding of the mysterious mechanism of dreams DRUGS OF THE DREAMING details the properties and actions of these dream allies establishing ethnobotanical profiles for 35 oneirogens including those extracted from organic sources - such as Calea zacatechichi (dream herb or leaf of the god) Salvia divinorum and a variety of plants from North and South America and the Pacific used in shamanic practices - as well as synthetically derived oneirogens. They explain the historical use of each oneirogen its method of action and what light it sheds on the scientific mechanism of dreaming. They conclude that oneirogens enhance the comprehensibility and facility of the dream/dreamer relationship and hold a powerful key for discerning the psychological needs and destinies of dreamers in the modern world.

Ethnopharmacology And Its Applications
In the traditions of every culture plants have been highly valued for their nourishing healing and transforming properties.

FOREST OF VISIONS
ISBN: 9780892817160
ISBN 10: 089281716X
Alex Polari de Alverga spent years as a political prisoner during the rule of the military junta in Brazil, enduring torture, brutality, and deprivation. On his release from captivity and in search of something to restore his spiritual connection to life, he had a transformative encounter with one of the two revered founders of Santo Daime, Padrinho Sebastiao Mota de Mela. Santo Daime--an Amazonian religion, born out of jungle entheogens, mediumship, and healing, that is a potent and unique synthesis of Christianity and indigenous practices--provided Alverga with an alternative to his disillusionment with modern society. His quest for spiritual initiation eventually led him deep into the heart of the rainforest to Mapia, one of the spiritual centers of Santo Daime, where he became a teacher and leader of the Daime community.
FOREST OF VISIONS is a story of a classic spiritual encounter comparable to the Tibetan Saint Milarepa's search for his teacher Marpa. It is also an intimate account of the genesis of an important religious tradition that from modest beginnings in Brazil has now spread throughout the world and continues to grow.

GREAT BOOK OF HEMP
ISBN: 9780892815418
ISBN 10: 0892815418
Hemp, Cannabis sativa, has been called the world's most versatile plant. Materials made from hemp fibre have been discovered in tombs dating back to 7000 B.C. During the Middle Ages hemp was used to treat fevers, insomnia and malaria. Columbus's ships had sails of hemp and during colonial times it was universally grown because its strong fibres made superior ropes, sails, cloth and paper. In fact, hemp was used for money in most of the Americas from 1631 until the early 1800s and the original drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written on hemp paper.
As a food, the oil from hemp seeds has the highest percentage of essential fatty acids and the lowest percentage of saturated fats. Britain and Canada have recently lifted bans on growing industrial hemp and today it is reappearing in the marketplace in an amazing array of products: from lip-salve, jeans, salad oil and cheese to paper products, composite fibreboard, and biomass fuel.

Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics and Other Spiritual Technologies
For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space - spiritual seekers, shamans and psychoactive drug users - have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences. INNER PATHS TO OUTER SPACE presents an innovative examination of how we can reach these other dimensions of existence and contact otherworldly beings. Based on their more than 60 combined years of research into the function of the brain, the authors reveal how psychoactive substances, such as DMT, allow the brain to bypass our five basic senses to unlock a multidimensional realm of existence where otherworldly communication occurs. They contend that our centuries-old search for alien life-forms has been misdirected and that the alien worlds reflected in visionary science fiction actually mirror the inner space world of our minds. The authors show that these “alien” worlds encountered through altered states of human awareness, either through the use of psychedelics or other methods, possess a sense of reality as great as, or greater than, those of the ordinary awareness perceived by our five senses.
· Examines how contact with alien life-forms can be obtained through the “inner space” dimensions of our minds
· Presents evidence that other worlds experienced through consciousness-altering technologies are often as real as those perceived with our five senses
· Correlates science fiction's imaginal realms with psychedelic research

INTOXICATION
The Universal Pursuit of Mind-Altering Substances
ISBN: 9781594770692
ISBN 10: 1594770697
The Universal Pursuit of Mind-Altering Substances
History shows that people have always used intoxicants. In every age in every part of the world people have pursued intoxication with plants alcohol and other mind-altering substances. In fact this behaviour has so much force and persistence that it functions much like our drives for food sleep and sex. This fourth drive says psychopharmacologist Ronald K. Siegel is a natural part of our biology creating the irrepressible demand for intoxicating substances. In INTOXICATION Siegel draws upon his 20 years of groundbreaking research to provide countless examples of the intoxication urge in humans animals and even insects. The detailed observations of his so-called psychonauts - study participants trained explicitly to describe their drug experiences - as well as numerous studies with animals have helped him to identify the behaviour patterns induced by different intoxicants. Presenting his conclusions on the biological as well as cultural reasons for the pursuit of intoxication and showing that personality and guidance often define the outcome of a drug experience Siegel offers a broad understanding of the intoxication phenomenon as well as recommendations for curbing the negative aspects of drug use in Western culture by designing safe intoxicants.

ISBN 10:
The Groundbreaking Psychedelic Research into the Realms of the Human Unconscious
Stanislav Grof's first 17 years of research into the non-ordinary states of consciousness induced by LSD and other psychedelics led to a revolutionary understanding of the human psyche. His research was the impetus behind a vastly expanded cartography of the unconscious, including two new realms still unacknowledged by official academic circles – the perinatal domain, which holds memories of the various stages of birth and the transpersonal domain which mediates experiential identification with other species and mythic figures, visits archetypal realms, accesses past life memories and unites with the cosmic creative principle.
The research presented in this book provides a map of the psyche that is essential for understanding such phenomena as shamanism and near-death experiences as well as other extraordinary states of consciousness. This map has led to the development of important new therapies in psychiatry and psychology for treating mental conditions often seen as disease and, therefore, suppressed by medication. It, also, provides a new threshold to understanding and entering the numinous realm of the spirit.
This is a new edition of Realms of the Human Consciousness.

A World Tour of the Healing and Visionary Powers of Cannabis
MARIJUANA MEDICINE explores the role of hemp in medicinal systems spanning the globe. Cannabis has accompanied the development of human culture from its very beginnings and can be found in the healing traditions of cultures throughout Africa Asia Europe and the Americas. Even today it is an important part of many Asian healing traditions: in Ayurveda cannabis is praised for its tonic and aphrodisiac qualities and in traditional Chinese medicine it is cited as a superb antidepressant. It also remains a significant part of the healing and visionary traditions of Latin American curanderos and Brazilian Nepalese and Indian folk medicine. Modern research has confirmed the effectiveness of marijuana's application in treating such diseases as asthma and glaucoma. Christian Ratsch profiles the medicinal historical and cultural uses of cannabis in each of these societies and medical systems providing remedies and recipes for those interested in how cannabis can be used to treat specific conditions.
