Psychedelic Horizons - Imprint Academic

description Reviews Formats

This is a different kind of book about psychedelics. Rather than describing psychedelic experiences, it presents four future-oriented ideas 'coming over the psychedelic horizon', which illustrate the potential benefits of psychedelics for humanity: # Stanislav Grof's view of our minds as a way to understand works of art (looking at Disney’s Snow White). # The evidence that psychedelic-occasioned mystical experiences can boost our immune systems. # Psychedelics as a way of adding new cognitive programmes to our thinking skills. # Applying the ideas from Part 3 to learning.

"The initial effect ... is puzzling, a state where i felt something deeper existed within the fragments being layed out ... and then there is an 'a ha!' moment where the pieces click in to place. From then on the book unfolds aspect after aspect of original thought, leading to a brighter future view - an affirming trip."
