Pressestimmen
"A guide and inspiration for anyone who has glimpsed the ineffable and wondered what on earth to do with their insight." - Susan Blackmore, author of The Meme Machine
Kurzbeschreibung
Throughout history, people have taken mind-expanding substances, whether out of curiosity, a need for development, or a deep longing for something greater than themselves. This practical and unusual book looks specifically at the use of psychoactive drugs in the spiritual quest - at how those who honestly seek the truth have taken them, not as an escape route, but as a way to inspire their lives. Absorbing and wide-ranging, the book covers the use of psychoactives - from LSD, Magic Mushrooms, and Ecstasy to Ibogaine and Ayahuasca - in different societies and religions, including shamanism, New Age movements and Rave culture. There are fascinating personal accounts and clear medical and legal sections.

Interesting Perspective on Psychoactive Drugs and Spirituality
2. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was recommended by a friend in Amsterdam, who meditates every day and is working on a Master's Degree in Religion. He is a very grounded person.
I believe that this book is a very important work in accurately describing psychoactive substances and how they relate to spirituality and personal growth.
It is interesting how people use LSD, peyote, mescaline, mushrooms, and even cannabis to expand or clarify their mind -- and commune with a higher power -- in many different settings.
The book also gives brief thoughts on why most organized religions dislike these methods -- arguments that may surprise you.
I recommend this book for the casual psychoactive drug user as to gain a better appreciation for what the their drug of choice can do -- other than a casual escape.
If I was to criticize this book, it would be in two ways. One -- why no conclusion chapter? ; and 2) The personal narratives are interesting, but tend to be numerous and wordy -- they could be edited more.

This is perhaps one of the more important books out there on the subject of entheogens and they're spiritual importance. there is a new paradigm that is emerging and it is work like this that is helping to bring it about. we can no longer base our understaning of the world off of 17th century science and philosophy, physics and biology has tuaght us so much more , via systems theory and quantum physics we can no longer look at social science, philosophy and psychology in the same light. and it is work like this that is bring about this light. may all beings awaken to they're true nature...
