Podcasts about Grof

Robert Forte has been at every major inflection point of the psychedelic movement for half a century, and he is skeptical of where it is going. That skepticism, coming from someone who knew Wasson, Hofmann, Grof, and Eliade personally. Forte brings a rare formation to this conversation: graduate training in religious studies at the University of Chicago under Mircea Eliade, decades of work with the foundational figures in psychedelic scholarship, phenomenological site work in Greece, and the republication of The Road to Eleusis — the thesis that seeded the most popular book in the current psychedelic renaissance. He is a historian of religion who has lived inside the territory he studies. This conversation opens with a Sufi tale about "changed waters" — a story about what happens when an entire culture shifts its baseline of perception and the one person who held onto the old water eventually drinks the new, because the loneliness of being different became unbearable. Forte has used this story to frame his entire body of work. From there we move through his formation: a childhood mystical experience by a stream, a turning point in a Columbia lecture hall when a professor wrote R. Gordon Wasson on the chalkboard, and the life that followed. We explore the mystery traditions and what secrecy actually protected, the difference between psychedelics as cultural healing and psychedelics as weapon, and the documented record — MKUltra, media promotion, Huxley's dark warnings, and an account linking JFK's alleged psilocybin experience to his 1963 peace speech. We close on what Forte considers the essential question for this moment: how do we cultivate virtue and discernment when the sacred is being commercialized faster than it can be integrated? In this conversation: The Sufi tale of the changed waters — and what it names about modern spiritual confusion The mystery traditions: what secrecy was protecting, and what its loss costs Forte's formation — Wasson, Hofmann, Eliade, Grof, and what it means to have received a living transmission The phenomenology of Eleusis: site work, The Road to Eleusis, and the Mysteries as lived encounter Psychedelics as both healing and weapon: MKUltra, media, and the politics of altered states JFK, psilocybin, and the 1963 peace speech Huxley's warning — and whether we are watching it come true What virtue and discernment look like when the sacred meets the market Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 05:54 Greek Mysteries and Lineage 09:41 Sufi Tale: When the Waters Change 12:00 Amnesia and the Extremes of Religion 16:23 Childhood: The Mystical Stream 22:15 LSD, Democracy, and TM 26:00 Soma, Wasson, and the Calling 30:31 Psychedelic History: Light and Shadow 34:34 Mystery Schools: Secrecy and Stages 43:50 Jung, the Road to Eleusis 50:10 Why Cultures Need Initiation 52:37 From Weapon to Sacrament 53:59 Kennedy's Psychedelic Turn 56:13 The Peace Speech and Its Fallout 1:00:58 MKUltra and the Acid Hype 1:08:18 Huxley's Dark Warning 1:16:26 Eleusis and Power 1:35:58 Virtue and Discernment 1:38:46 Where to Find Robert Find Robert: www.alteredstatesofamerica.net alteredstatesofamerica.substack.com The Sacred Speaks: www.drjohnwprice.com youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg instagram.com/thesacredspeaks facebook.com/thesacredspeaks Brought to you by The Center for Healing Arts and Sciences — thecenterforhas.com Theme music: Modern Nations — modernnationsmusic.com

Peux-tu nous rappeler dans quelles circonstances il a découvert cela et ce que sont ces quatre matrices ? 12:13 A partir de ce que tu observes dans ta pratique, est-ce que tu peux nous donner quelques exemples concrets de ce que les gens vivent en lien avec ces matrices — et ce que ça peut faire bouger dans leur vie ?33:39 Comment cela se passe pour les personnes nées par césarienne?Quelles sont les caractéristiques de vie que l'on peut associer aux différentes matrices ?37:31 Peux-tu nous décrire comment se passe une séance ?

We're moving through a collective threshold where old identities fall away fast, and what looks like loss can be the start of real alignment. We name the cycles behind this moment and ground it in nervous system regulation, shadow work, and the full-spectrum feminine that knows how to dismantle what's dead and build what's true. • cyclical time across traditions and why transitions feel like fire • Kali Yuga, Fourth Turning, and the sense of collective acceleration • nervous system capacity as the limiter on visibility, love, leadership, and change • somatic healing and attachment patterns shaping what feels safe to receive • Jung's individuation and shadow work speeding up in collective crisis • becoming a container who can hold uncertainty without collapsing • Grof's spiritual emergency and why support beats suppression • regulation as what makes sustained awakening possible • reclaiming the feminine as creation and sacred destruction • three integration anchors: name what is dying, tend your nervous system, find your people • reflection questions to deepen grief, power, and community I have a very small favor to ask you if you are enjoying these episodes, if you are receiving value from them, if you could just take a quick moment to leave a review as it really helps the podcast grow and reach more people. If something in you said yes while you were listening today, if you felt recognized somewhere in this conversation, come to the masterclass on May 20th, because this is the work that we are going to be doing together, not just intellectually, but in your body where change actually lives.

Keukenprins Pieter kookt boeuf bourguignon voor host Petra Possel.Special: Boeuf bourguignon.Host Petra Possel bespreekt met Keukenprins Pieter een gerecht. Vandaag gaat het over boeuf bourguignon.Er is niet één oerversie van de boeuf bourguignon. Het is een typisch gerecht uit de betere Franse burgerkeuken. Grof gesneden rundvlees gaat in een stoof met rode wijn en slechts een paar smaakmakers. Beetje gerookt spek, wat rozemarijn, laurier en knoflook, wat wortel en ui en dan ben je er wel. Ook hier is tijd een kostbaar ingrediënt.Al jaren geleden verklaarde Petra al haar liefde aan de boeuf bourguignon, te zien in een filmpje over Recettes pour bien vivre, op het onvolprezen Foodtube.Het recept voor deze boeuf bourguignon staat natuurlijk online.Bonustip: gebruik een gietijzeren pan met dikke bodem en laat de boeuf bourguignon op laag vuur sudderen. De pannen van Le Creuset / Cousances zijn daar heel geschikt voor.Wil je adverteren in deze podcast?

Holotropic Breathwork sits at the center of this wide ranging conversation between Psychedelics Today co-founders Joe Moore and Kyle Buller. Drawing from decades of personal practice and assorted types of breathwork facilitation, they explore how breathwork methods from the Grof lineage including Dreamshadow Breathwork can prepare people for psychedelic work, support difficult journeys, and deepen integration over time. Kyle shares how his near death experience, somatic training, and breathwork facilitation shaped this new course on breathwork foundations, while Joe reflects on how reading Dr Stanislav Grof and years of experience in Holotropic Breathwork changed how he approaches psychedelics. Early Themes: Roots, Lineages, and First Encounters The episode opens with how each of them first found breathwork. Joe discovered Grof's writing in college, then traveled to Dreamshadow workshops long before he worked seriously with psychedelics. Kyle came to Holotropic style breathwork while studying transpersonal psychology at Burlington College, arriving as a skeptic who assumed people were exaggerating until his first session opened into a full psychedelic level process. They trace the roots of breathwork in modern psychology back to Wilhelm Reich, character armor, and early somatic approaches, then follow that thread into Grof's work and later branches. Joe and Kyle map out the different schools that emerged, including Grof Transpersonal Training, Grof Legacy Training, and Dreamshadow, and explain why the term "breathwork" has become a huge umbrella that covers everything from Wim Hof to short online sessions that are not actually Holotropic Breathwork. Core Insights: Breath, Nervous System, and Working the Edges In the middle of the episode they move into what this new foundations course actually covers and why it matters now. Rather than promising quick fixes, Kyle frames breath as a flexible tool for: Preparation before psychedelic sessions Navigation during intense or destabilizing moments Integration and nervous system support afterward They discuss window of tolerance, fight flight freeze responses, and how fast, deep breathing can open powerful experiences but also risk overwhelm if there is no somatic literacy. Kyle shares a vivid story from a ketamine training where his near death trauma was reactivated and how simple breath awareness, slow belly breathing, and body based skills kept him from panicking or fleeing. Throughout, they return to a key point: Holotropic Breathwork and related practices can restore agency. The breather chooses when to intensify, when to slow down, and how far to go, which can be deeply reparative for people whose trauma involved a loss of control. Later Discussion and Takeaways: Holotropic Breathwork as Foundation, Not Shortcut Later in the conversation, Joe and Kyle caution against "keeping up with the Joneses" in psychedelic culture. They talk about people chasing ever bigger doses, accruing trauma, and then needing years of therapy to sort it out. Breathwork, including Holotropic Breathwork in a well held group setting, is offered as a slower, more grounded way to explore non ordinary states while building skills that transfer into medicine work. They outline the core components of Grof lineage breathwork: intensified breathing, evocative music, focused body support, expressive art, and group sharing in a safe container. Joe highlights how group process, mandala drawing, and simply being witnessed can be as healing as the inner journey itself. They also flag practical next steps: Kyle's self paced breathwork foundations course at the Psychedelic Education Center, upcoming live online sessions, and in person weekend workshops in places like Breckenridge. Frequently Asked Questions What is Holotropic Breathwork? Holotropic Breathwork is a structured group process developed by Stan and Christina Grof that uses accelerated breathing, evocative music, supportive bodywork, art, and integration sharing to access non ordinary states of consciousness without substances. Is Holotropic Breathwork as intense as psychedelics? For some people, yes. Joe and Kyle both describe Holotropic Breathwork sessions that matched the depth of powerful LSD or ayahuasca journeys, while also noting that some sessions are quiet, restful, and focused on simple nervous system regulation. Can I do Holotropic Breathwork alone at home? They strongly suggest caution. Gentle breath practices can be explored solo, but Holotropic Breathwork as taught in the Grof lineages is designed for a trained facilitation team and a group container to reduce risk and support intense emotional or somatic processes. How does Holotropic Breathwork help with psychedelic preparation and integration? Breathwork helps people learn their own nervous system, practice staying with difficult material, and build trust in inner process. These skills often translate into more resilience, flexibility, and agency before, during, and after psychedelic sessions. Is Holotropic Breathwork backed by research? Research on breathwork is growing, especially around heart rate variability, stress, and subjective mystical type experiences. Joe and Kyle emphasize that early studies suggest overlaps with psychedelic states, but they avoid framing Holotropic Breathwork as a cure and instead present it as a powerful tool within a broader healing path. In a culture that often treats psychedelics like quick fixes, this episode makes the case for slow foundations, embodied practice, and honest respect for the risks. By placing Holotropic Breathwork and the other Grof lineage breathwork practices inside a larger conversation about trauma, agency, and community, Joe and Kyle offer a grounded path for anyone who wants to explore non ordinary states in a safer, more skillful way.

Stanislav Grof, born in Prague in 1931, was among the most influential figures in the early clinical use of LSD. Sometimes referred to as the Godfather of psychedelic psychotherapy, Grof was was trained as a Freudian psychoanalyst in Prague and was on track to follow in Freud's footsteps when his path was derailed by a powerful LSD session. He changed his life path and became one of the principal investigators of early psychedelic research behind the Iron Curtain, conducting systematic LSD psychotherapy at the Psychiatric Research Institute in Prague. Grof's approach was largely psycholitic - meaning that in contrast to the single high-dose mystical model, he favored smaller doses that could be given consistently over the course of multiple sessions, thus emphasizing the very gradual revealing of the layered strata of the human unconscious. In this talk, Grof describes how the same substance can evoke vastly different experiences in different individuals, from childhood regression, to episodes resembling psychosis, to genuine mystical revelation. He offers accounts of patients reliving early developmental trauma and what appeared to be birth agony, followed by experiences of renewal or “rebirth.” He also touches on the emergence of archetypal and transpersonal imagery in advanced stages of therapy, giving insight into the collective and cosmic dimensions of mind.

Podcasts zijn in de afgelopen jaren uitgegroeid van niche en geeky naar een mainstream, commercieel interessant medium. Maar overal waar advertising het main business model is, is ook volatiliteit. De markt beweegt en de afgelopen tijd is het daarom niet gelukt om genoeg advertenties voor deze podcast te verkopen. Daarom buigen we ons vandaag helemaal over ons eigen business model.

Why would a Psychonaut want to develop archetypal intelligence? Non-ordinary state navigation: providing a framework for understanding and navigating non-ordinary states of consciousness.Expanded understanding:   offering a multidimensional understanding of psychedelic experience, which may enhance interpretation. Integration of experiences:  integrating profound psychedelic experiences into one's daily life.Stanislav Grof:Grof's archetypal perspective emerged from his work with psychedelics and holotropic breathwork:Archetypes as experiential patterns that become accessible in non-ordinary states of consciousnessThey're organized in systems of condensed experience (COEX) emotional clusters around similar themesGrof identified four Basic Perinatal Matrices archetypal patterns related to the birth process that shape psychological developmentHe expanded the concept including transpersonal archetypes that transcend individual existenceArchetypal experiences in psychedelic & holotropic sessions often relate to death and rebirth, cosmic unity, and encounters with divine or demonic entitiesGrof emphasizes the healing potential of connecting with archetypes in therapeutic settings.Richard Tarnas:built on Jung and expanded his work by exploring how planetary movements correlate with archetypal patterns of human experience across history and individual lives, providing a framework for understanding both personal and collective transformative experiences.Tarnas synthesized archetypal theory with cosmology, particularly through reinterpreting astrology.Archetypes are both psychological and cosmological principles that connect inner and outer worlds.They are dynamic, multivalent patterns that cannot be reduced to single meanings..Planetary archetypes Correlations between planetary movements may reveal archetypal patterns in human experience.Archetypes participate in human consciousness rather than causing effects.Examples include Saturn (limitation, structure, maturation), Uranus (awakening, revolution, innovation), Neptune (dissolution, imagination, transcendence), and Pluto (power, transformation)Archetypes interact in complex combinations that reflect the rich texture of human experience. They work through synchronistic correlations rather than causal mechanisms.Emphasizes the importance of archetypal astrology as a tool for understanding personal and collective psychological patterns.The Combined Work of Grof and Tarnas: Their 50 year collaboration represents a powerful synthesis ofexperiential psychology, consciousness research, ancient wisdom. They discovered a comprehensive framework for understanding both individual experiences and collective patterns through what has become known as archetypal astrology.Origins:Grof and Tarnas began working together in the 1970's at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA. Their effort emerged from:Grof's extensive clinical research with psychedelics and later with holotropic breathworkTarnas' philosophical investigations into consciousness and cultural historyTheir shared interest in exploring the deeper patterns underlying human experienceA mutual recognition that conventional paradigms were inadequate to explain the full spectrum of consciousness.Integration of Inner and Outer Worlds: Symbolic Language for Inner Experience: Archetypal intelligence provides a rich symbolic framework for understanding and articulating non-ordinary states, supporting integration back to daily life.. Active Participation in Meaning-Making: Engaging with these guides, we may recognize  the unfolding narrative of the universe,

In this episode, Matt speaks with Richard Tarnas about his book Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New Worldview. Richard Theodore Tarnas is a cultural historian and astrologer known for his books The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View and Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View. Tarnas is professor of philosophy and psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and is the founding director of its graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness. In 1968 Tarnas entered Harvard, graduating with an A.B. cum laude in 1972. He received his Ph.D. from Saybrook Institute in 1976 with a thesis on psychedelic therapy. In 1974 Tarnas went to Esalen in California to study psychotherapy with Stanislav Grof. From 1974 to 1984 he lived and worked at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, teaching and studying with Grof, Joseph Campbell, Gregory Bateson, Huston Smith, Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, and James Hillman. He also served as Esalen's director of programs and education.

In this episode, Joe interviews Paul Grof: research psychiatrist, clinician, author, brother of Stanislav, professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and director of the Ottawa Mood Disorders Center. He talks about his extensive career in psychiatry, and how trying to understand the cause of mood disorders led him to focusing on the very nature of consciousness. He believes that consciousness is a collaborative creation between the brain, body, and external fields, and that the key to connecting with the mechanistic side of academia is through talking about the unexplainable – near death experiences, pre-cognition, remote viewing – and of course, them having positive non-ordinary experiences through psychedelics or other means. He talks about how much we're connected, how much our bodies remember, and how much society could change for the better if enough people experience the transpersonal. He also discusses: His thoughts on legal frameworks, education, integration, and whether or not psychedelics will get stuck in psychiatry The importance of new study designs in research, as double blinding doesn't make sense for psychedelics Concerns over spiritual emergence and emergencies: How much is the responsibility of the therapist or facilitator? The global rise in depression and addiction, especially in the younger generation, and the need for techniques for people to help themselves The work he's doing with remote healing circles, using strong intention, positive emotions, and visualized healing and more!

"Siinkohal pean tarvilikuks mainda, et elasin üle kümne aasta Californias Big Suris Esaleni Instituudi juures, töötades instituudi programmijuhina, ning selle aja jooksul pakkus Esalen võimalust tegelemiseks sisuliselt igat laadi põhjalikumate ja põgusamate teraapia ja enesemuutmise vormidega. Terapeutilise efektiivsuse vaatepunktist oli Grofi lähenemisviis selgelt tõhusaim – teised ei küündinud sellele ligilähedalegi," kirjutab Richard Tarnas "Õhtumaa vaimu passioonis" [1].Tarnase sõnul põimuvad Grofi ellu kutsutud transpersonaalses psühholoogias kaks käsitust: 1) maailma erinevate kultuuride spirituaalsed ja müstilised traditsioonid; 2) freudistlik ja jungiaanlik psühhoanalüüs. Teiste sõnadega, Grof on loomulaadilt moderne müstik, kes on kodus nii nüüdisaegses psühhoteraapias kui ka iidsetes tervendamistehnikates.Tarnas läks 1974. aastal Esaleni Grofi juurde psühhoteraapiat õppima. Nad otsisid vastust küsimusele, mis oli psühhedeelikumide mõju uurinud teadlasi köitnud pikki aastaid: miks kutsub üks ja seesama psühhoaktiivne aine erinevatel inimestel esile niivõrd erinevaid kogemusi? Selleks ajaks oli erinevate kogemuste põhjendamiseks proovitud kõikvõimalikke psühholoogilisi teste, ükski neist ei aidanud edasi. "1976. aasta kevadel pakkus üks Grofi seminaris osalenud kunstnik, et me võiksime selgitava muutujana kasutada katsealuste sünnikaarte [kui täpsem olla, siis planeetide transiite, H.]," meenutab Tarnas Tähenduse teejuhtide 42. numbrile antud intervjuus "Teine teljeajastu" [2]. Kunstniku soovitusel olid rabavad tagajärjed. "Katsete tulemused, milleni me jõudsime 1976. aasta märtsis, olid lihtsalt niivõrd veenvad, et mul ei jäänud muud üle, kui ma pidin oma ontoloogilised ja epistemoloogilised alusoletused üle vaatama," ütles Tarnas meie eespool mainitud intervjuus.Richard Tarnas räägib oma 1976. aasta avastustest põhjalikumalt 14. novembril EBS-i kursuse "Kosmos ja psüühe" [3] raames toimuval külalisloengul "Ebausu kullastandard" [4].Tänases saates räägime Piret Bristoli ja (:)kivisildnikuga transpersonaalsest psühholoogiast ja teistest "tõenduspõhisesse" maailmapilti mittesobivatest nähtustest, sest – nagu ütleb Tarnas oma külalisloengus –, peituvad sageli kõige sügavamad saladused just kõige igapäevasemate nähtuste taga [5]. Tänane saade on tihedas suguluses möödunud aasta mais salvestatud vestlusringiga "Kui sünnib ilmvõimatu" [6], mis oli pühendatud Stanislav Grofi samanimelisele raamatule [7] ja kus osalesid Raimo Kaarlaid ja Aleksander Eeri Laupmaa.

Ritual and animism are distinct but related concepts that offer insights into the workings of the emotional and preconscious mind. While they are often associated with religious or spiritual practices, they can also be understood as psychological processes that serve important functions in human development and well-being (Edinger, 1972; Neumann, 1955). Animism can be defined as the attribution of consciousness, soul, or spirit to objects, plants, animals, and natural phenomena. From a psychological perspective, animism involves "turning down" one's cognitive functioning to "hear" the inner monologue of the world and treat it as alive. This process allows individuals to connect with the preconscious wisdom of their own psyche and the natural world (Tylor, 1871). Ritual, on the other hand, is a structured sequence of actions that are performed with the intention of achieving a specific psychological or social outcome. In depth psychology, ritual is understood as a process of projecting parts of one's psyche onto objects or actions, modifying them, and then withdrawing the projection to achieve a transformation in internal cognition (Moore & Gillette, 1990). It is important to note that animism and ritual are not merely primitive or outdated practices, but rather reflect a natural state of human consciousness that has been suppressed or "turned off" by cultural and environmental changes, rather than evolutionary ones. This natural state can still be accessed through various means, including psychosis, religious practices, and intentional ritualistic behaviors (Grof, 1975). In times of extreme stress or trauma, individuals may experience a breakdown of their normal cognitive functioning, leading to a resurgence of animistic or ritualistic thinking. This can be seen in the delusions and hallucinations associated with psychosis, which often involve a heightened sense of meaning and connection with the environment (Jaynes, 1976). Similarly, many religious and spiritual traditions incorporate practices that deliberately induce altered states of consciousness, such as meditation, chanting, or the use of psychoactive substances. These practices can help individuals access the preconscious wisdom of their own minds and connect with the living world around them (Eliade, 1959). Even in secular contexts, engaging in intentional ritualistic behaviors, such as art-making, dance, or storytelling, can serve a similar function of integrating the emotional and preconscious aspects of the psyche. By creating a safe, structured space for self-expression and exploration, these practices can promote psychological healing and growth (Turner, 1969). James Frazer and "The Golden Bough" James Frazer (1854-1941) was a Scottish anthropologist and folklorist who made significant contributions to the study of mythology, religion, and ritual. His most famous work, "The Golden Bough" (1890), was a comparative study of mythology and religion that identified common patterns and themes across cultures. Frazer's work was influenced by the concept of animism, which had been introduced by Edward Tylor (1832-1917) as a primitive form of religion. Frazer saw ritual as a means of controlling the supernatural world through sympathetic magic, which operated on the principles of homeopathic magic (the belief that like produces like) and contagious magic (the belief that things that have been in contact continue to influence each other) (Frazer, 1890). The title of Frazer's work, "The Golden Bough," was a reference to the mythical golden bough in the sacred grove at Nemi, Italy. According to the myth, the priest of the grove had to defend his position against challengers, and the successful challenger plucked the golden bough and replaced the priest. Frazer saw this story as a symbol of the cycle of death and rebirth in nature and in human society (Frazer, 1890). Frazer's work was significant in highlighting the prevalence of animistic thinking across cultures and throughout history. He observed that many cultures engaged in practices that attributed consciousness and agency to natural objects and phenomena, such as trees, rivers, and celestial bodies (Frazer, 1890). While Frazer's interpretations of these practices were shaped by the ethnocentric assumptions of his time, his work laid the foundation for later anthropological and psychological studies of animism and ritual. By identifying common patterns and themes across cultures, Frazer helped to establish the comparative study of religion as a legitimate field of inquiry. However, Frazer's work has also been criticized for its reliance on secondary sources and its lack of fieldwork, as well as for its oversimplification and overgeneralization of complex cultural phenomena. His evolutionary view of human thought, which posited a progression from magic through religion to science, has been challenged by later scholars who emphasize the coexistence and interplay of these different modes of thinking (Tylor, 1871). Despite these limitations, Frazer's work remains an important touchstone in the study of animism and ritual, and his insights continue to influence contemporary debates about the nature of religion and the evolution of human consciousness. Julian Jaynes and the Bicameral Mind Julian Jaynes (1920-1997) was an American psychologist and philosopher who proposed a controversial theory about the evolution of human consciousness in his book "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" (1976). Jaynes argued that the human mind had once operated in a state of bicameralism, where cognitive functions were divided between two chambers of the brain. In this state, the "speaking" right hemisphere issued commands, which were experienced as auditory hallucinations, while the "listening" left hemisphere obeyed. Jaynes proposed that the breakdown of this bicameral mind led to the development of consciousness and introspection (Jaynes, 1976). According to Jaynes, the bicameral mind was a normal and universal feature of human cognition until about 3,000 years ago, when a combination of social, environmental, and linguistic changes led to its breakdown. He argued that the development of written language, the rise of complex civilizations, and the increasing use of metaphorical language all contributed to the emergence of self-awareness and inner dialogue (Jaynes, 1976). Jaynes' theory has been criticized for its lack of direct archaeological or biological evidence, as well as for its reliance on literary interpretation rather than empirical data. Some scholars have argued that Jaynes' interpretation of ancient texts and artifacts is selective and biased, and that his theory oversimplifies the complex processes involved in the development of consciousness (Wilber, 1977). However, Jaynes' work has also been praised for its originality and its interdisciplinary approach, which draws on insights from psychology, anthropology, linguistics, and history. His theory has inspired a wide range of research and speculation about the nature of consciousness and the role of language in shaping human cognition (Huxley, 1945). From the perspective of animism and ritual, Jaynes' theory offers an interesting perspective on the experience of "hearing" the world speak. The bicameral mind can be seen as a metaphor for the animistic experience of perceiving the natural world as alive and conscious, and of receiving messages or commands from a higher power (Otto, 1917). Jaynes himself drew parallels between the bicameral experience and certain forms of religious or mystical experience, such as prophecy, possession, and divine inspiration. He argued that these experiences reflect a residual capacity for bicameral cognition, which can be triggered by certain environmental or psychological factors (Jaynes, 1976). However, Jaynes also emphasized the differences between bicameral and conscious cognition, and he argued that the development of consciousness marked a significant evolutionary shift in human history. He saw the breakdown of the bicameral mind as a necessary step in the emergence of individual agency, creativity, and moral responsibility (Jaynes, 1976). While Jaynes' theory remains controversial and speculative, it offers a provocative framework for thinking about the relationship between language, consciousness, and the experience of the sacred. By highlighting the role of auditory hallucinations and inner speech in shaping human cognition, Jaynes invites us to consider the ways in which our mental processes are shaped by cultural and environmental factors, as well as by our evolutionary history. The Changing Nature of Psychotic Experience in America Research has shown that the content and themes of psychotic experiences in America have shifted over time, reflecting the underlying insecurities and forces shaping the collective psyche. Before the Great Depression, psychotic experiences were predominantly animistic, with people hearing "spirits" tied to natural phenomena, geography, or ancestry. These experiences were mostly pleasant, even if relatively disorganized. During the Depression, the voices shifted to being more fearful, begging or asking for food, love, or services. They were still not terribly distressing and often encouraged empathy. In the 1950s and 1960s, the voices became universally distressing, antagonistic, manipulative, and harmful. Themes of hierarchical control through politics, surveillance, and technology emerged. From the 1970s through the 1990s, technology, esoteric conspiratorial control, and the supernatural became the dominant content. Surveillance, coercion, and control were central features. These changes in the nature of psychosis reflect the evolution of collective trauma and the manifestation of unintegrated preconscious elements in the American psyche. As society shifted from an agrarian to an industrial and then to a post-industrial economy, the anxieties and insecurities of each era found expression through the content of psychotic experiences. Interestingly, UFO conspiracy theories have emerged as a prominent manifestation of these unintegrated preconscious elements in the modern era. These theories often involve themes of surveillance, control, and the supernatural, mirroring the dominant features of psychosis from the 1970s onwards. UFO conspiracy theories can be seen as a way for individuals to make sense of their experiences of powerlessness and disconnection in a rapidly changing world, by attributing them to external, otherworldly forces. The case of Heaven's Gate, a UFO religious millenarian group, illustrates this intersection of technology, spirituality, and psychosis. The group's leader, Marshall Applewhite, reinterpreted Christian theology through the lens of science fiction and technology, convincing his followers that their bodies were merely vehicles to be abandoned in order to ascend to a higher level of existence on a UFO. This tragic case highlights how unintegrated preconscious elements can manifest in extreme and destructive ways when left unaddressed. It is important to note that not all UFO experiences are indicative of psychosis, and conversely, not all psychotic experiences involve UFOs or conspiracy theories. In schizophrenia, for example, auditory hallucinations are the most common symptom, while visual hallucinations are relatively rare unless drugs or severe trauma are involved. UFO experiences, on the other hand, often involve a complex interplay of factors, including altered states of consciousness, sleep paralysis, false memories, and cultural narratives. Nonetheless, the changing nature of psychotic experiences in America highlights the profound impact that societal and environmental stressors can have on the preconscious mind. By understanding how these stressors shape the content and themes of psychosis, we can gain insight into the deeper anxieties and insecurities that plague the American psyche. This understanding can inform more comprehensive and compassionate approaches to mental health treatment, which address not only the symptoms of psychosis but also the underlying social and cultural factors that contribute to its development. Moreover, by recognizing the continuity between psychotic experiences and other expressions of the preconscious mind, such as dreams, visions, and altered states of consciousness, we can develop a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of mental health and well-being. Rather than pathologizing or dismissing these experiences, we can learn to approach them with curiosity, openness, and respect, and to explore their potential for insight, growth, and transformation. Ritual as a Psychological Process The work of anthropologists Victor Turner (1920-1983) and Robert Moore (1942-2016) has shed light on the psychological dimensions of ritual and its role in personal and social transformation. Turner's concepts of liminality (the transitional state in ritual where participants are "betwixt and between") and communitas (the sense of equality and bond formed among ritual participants) highlight the transformative potential of ritual. By creating a safe, liminal space for psychological exploration and change, ritual can help individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences and achieve personal growth (Turner, 1969). Turner argued that rituals serve an important function in helping individuals navigate the challenges and transitions of life, such as birth, puberty, marriage, and death. He saw rituals as a way of marking and facilitating these transitions, by providing a structured and meaningful context for the expression and transformation of emotions (Turner & Turner, 1978). Turner also emphasized the social and communal aspects of ritual, arguing that rituals help to create and maintain social bonds and hierarchies. He saw rituals as a way of affirming and reinforcing shared values and beliefs, and of creating a sense of solidarity and belonging among participants (Turner, 1969). Moore, in his books "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover" (1990) and "The Archetype of Initiation" (2001), emphasized the importance of ritual in modern society for personal development and social cohesion. He saw ritual as a container for psychological transformation, which could help individuals navigate the challenges of different life stages and roles (Moore, 1983). Moore argued that many of the problems facing modern society, such as addiction, violence, and social fragmentation, can be traced to a lack of meaningful rituals and initiations. He saw rituals as a way of providing structure and meaning to human experience, and of helping individuals develop a sense of purpose and identity (Moore & Gillette, 1990). Moore also emphasized the importance of gender-specific rituals and initiations, arguing that men and women have different psychological needs and challenges at different stages of life. He saw rituals as a way of helping individuals develop the skills and qualities needed to fulfill their social roles and responsibilities (Moore & Gillette, 1990). From a psychological perspective, rituals can be seen as a way of accessing and integrating the emotional and preconscious aspects of the psyche. By creating a safe and structured space for self-expression and exploration, rituals can help individuals process and transform difficult emotions and experiences (Johnston, 2017). Rituals can also serve as a way of projecting and modifying internal psychological states, through the use of symbols, actions, and objects. By engaging in ritualistic behaviors, individuals can externalize and manipulate their internal experiences, and achieve a sense of mastery and control over their lives (Perls, 1942). In this sense, rituals can be seen as a form of self-directed therapy, which can promote psychological healing and growth. By engaging in rituals that are meaningful and resonant with their personal experiences and values, individuals can develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-efficacy (Rogers, 1961). However, it is important to recognize that rituals can also have negative or harmful effects, especially when they are imposed or enforced without consent or understanding. Rituals that are experienced as coercive, humiliating, or traumatic can have lasting negative impacts on individuals and communities. Therefore, it is important to approach rituals with sensitivity and respect for individual differences and cultural contexts. Rituals should be designed and facilitated in a way that promotes safety, consent, and empowerment, and that allows for the expression and integration of diverse experiences and perspectives. Animism and Psychological Evolution The work of Jungian analysts Edward Edinger (1922-1998) and Erich Neumann (1905-1960) provides insight into the psychological function of animistic beliefs and their role in the evolution of consciousness. Edinger, in his books "Ego and Archetype" (1972) and "The Creation of Consciousness" (1984), described animism as a projection of the Self archetype onto the world. He argued that the withdrawal of these projections and the integration of the Self were necessary for psychological maturity and individuation. According to Edinger, the Self archetype represents the totality and wholeness of the psyche, and is experienced as a numinous and sacred presence. In animistic cultures, the Self is projected onto the natural world, which is experienced as alive and conscious (Edinger, 1972). Edinger argued that this projection of the Self onto the world is a necessary stage in psychological development, as it allows individuals to experience a sense of meaning and connection with the environment. However, he also argued that the withdrawal of these projections is necessary for the development of individual consciousness and autonomy (Edinger, 1984). Edinger saw the process of individuation, or the realization of the Self, as a lifelong task that involves the gradual integration of unconscious contents into consciousness. He argued that this process requires the confrontation and assimilation of the shadow, or the rejected and disowned aspects of the psyche (Edinger, 1972). Edinger also emphasized the importance of symbols and archetypes in the process of individuation, arguing that they provide a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind. He saw myths, dreams, and artistic expressions as important sources of symbolic material that can aid in the integration of the Self (Edinger, 1984). Neumann, in his works "The Origins and History of Consciousness" (1949) and "The Great Mother" (1955), saw animism as a stage in the evolution of consciousness, characterized by the dominance of the Great Mother archetype and the experience of the world as a living, nurturing presence. Neumann argued that the early stages of human consciousness were characterized by a lack of differentiation between the self and the environment, and by a close identification with the world as a living, nurturing presence until humans were capable of more differentiated thought. Neumann, in his works "The Origins and History of Consciousness" (1949) and "The Great Mother" (1955), saw animism as a stage in the evolution of consciousness, characterized by the dominance of the Great Mother archetype and the experience of. Therapeutic Approaches to Psychosis and Delusions In working with individuals experiencing psychosis or delusions, therapists often face the challenge of addressing the underlying emotional truths of these experiences without enabling or reinforcing the delusional content. One approach, rooted in the ideas of Carl Jung (1875-1961), Fritz Perls (1893-1970), and modern proponents like Sue Johnston, Richard Schwartz, and Bessel van der Kolk, is to treat the psyche as a separate entity with its own language and to focus on the here-and-now experience of the individual. Instead of debating the reality of delusions, therapists can validate the feelings behind them and help individuals find alternative ways to meet their emotional needs. For example, a therapist might say, "You feel alone and persecuted. That must feel terrible. What do you need to feel better?" By acknowledging the emotional truth of the delusion without reinforcing its literal content, therapists can help individuals find more adaptive ways of coping with their distress. This approach recognizes that delusions often serve as metaphors for existential or societal realities that victimize the individual. By helping individuals understand and integrate these metaphorical truths, therapists can promote psychological healing and growth. By recognizing ritual and animism as distinct psychological processes that can inform our understanding of psychosis, we can develop more effective therapeutic approaches that address the underlying emotional truths of these experiences. Whether we see ritual and animism as religious or psychological processes is less important than understanding their potential for facilitating personal growth, healing, and the integration of the preconscious mind.

SynopsisIn the 1930s, American composer Ferde Grofé was on a roll. During the previous decade, as staff arranger for the Paul Whiteman orchestra, Grofé had orchestrated all the music that popular ensemble had premiered, including George Gershwin's 1924 jazz classic Rhapsody in Blue. But by the late 1920s, Grofé was composing his own original scores, and in 1931 finished his Grand Canyon Suite.Around that time, Grofé left the Whiteman band, and signed on as staff conductor of the NBC Radio Network, and soon became a familiar figure on the American music scene from coast to coast.On today's date in 1935, a new ballet score by Grofé premiered at the Hollywood Bowl. It took as its story line a familiar Hollywood theme: the exploited “double” who stands in for a starlet during the making of a film. The ballet music was later recast as Hollywood Suite, a concert work. In the 1960s, looking back on his long career in music, Grofé said, “Many of my compositions, I believe, were born of sight, sound, and sensations common to all of us. I think I have spoken of America in this music simply because America spoke to me.” Music Played in Today's ProgramFerde Grofé (1892-1972): Hollywood Suite; Bournemouth Symphony; William Stromberg, conductor; Naxos 8.559017

De handel in schattige kleine hondjes blijkt een schimmige wereld, vol conflicten waarin zich ook criminelen mengen. De handel begint op Instagram, vertellen Wouter Laumans en Paul Vugts in deze aflevering van de Parool Misdaadpodcast, en is niet zo onschuldig als het lijkt. Voor een pomerianen, een gewilde kleine hondensoort die onder sommige groepen een statussymbool zijn, zijn de wachtlijsten bij officiële fokkers lang. Wie minder geduld heeft en wel graag zo'n klein hondje wil, komt bijvoorbeeld terecht bij Pomeranian Amsterdam, dat volgens de politie in vijf jaar tijd honderd hondjes verhandelde. Wouter Laumans: “Er wordt grof geld verdiend met die handel, en met die hondjes blijkt vaak van alles mis te zijn. Door het doorfokken krijgen ze erfelijke aandoeningen, zoals haaruitval of een afgeknelde luchtpijp.” Van de papierwinkel zoals een vaccinatiepaspoort of stamboom, klopt vaak weinig. Opvallend, zegt Vugts, is dat de handelaren vaak vrouwen, dochters, moeders of bijvrouwen van criminelen zijn. “Het is een circuitje.” Volgens Vugts zijn er zelfs parallen met de cokewereld: “Daar gaan de prijzen ook tig keer over de kop. Een pup kopen in Rusland of Roemenie waar minder regels zijn, kost zo'n 300 euro. Hier gaan ze voor minimaal 2500 euro van de hand.”Extra:- Parool Misdaadpodcast Live in het theater- Een foto van Harry Support the show: https://www.kiosk.nlSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En este episodio exploramos el delicado equilibrio entre la ciencia y la espiritualidad, y cómo las terapias profundas pueden guiarnos hacia una comprensión holística de la mente, inspirada en las enseñanzas de Grof sobre la mente holotrópica.

In this episode, Joe and Kyle interview Lenny Gibson, Ph.D.: philosopher, Grof-certified Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator, 20-year professor of transpersonal psychology at Burlington College, and the reason Joe and Kyle met many years ago. He talks about his early LSD experiences and how his interest in the philosophy of Plato and Alfred North Whitehead provided a framework and language for understanding a new mystical world where time and space were abstractions. He believes that while culture sees the benefits of psychedelics in economic terms, the biggest takeaway from non-ordinary states is learning that value is the essence of everything. And as this is being released on Bicycle Day, he discusses Albert Hofmann's discovery and whether or not it's fair to say that Hofmann intentionally had the experience he did on that fateful day. He also discusses: The end of Cartesian thinking and the need for a new understanding of reality that incorporates the insights of quantum mechanics How philosophy has been taught as an intellectual endeavor, and how we need to embrace the practical and conceptual side of life John Dewey and quantitative thinking, William James and pragmatism, and was Aristotle a Platonist? The novelty of the creation of LSD, and how it gave us a path to a mystical experience that wasn't culturally bound and more! For links, head to the show notes page. 

— Holotropic Breathwork is based on the belief that each of us is guided by our own intrinsic wisdom, and that the opportunity for healing past traumas of the physical and/or emotional body or opportunities for opening a new doorway to creative flow lies within us - always available - as we become more aware of our natural ability to awaken to our authentic selves and our highest potential. Journeying in this expanded state, our psyche allows select biographical, transpersonal or mythological/spiritual material from our internal landscape to float to the surface of our conscious mind. As we feel safely supported, we are more likely to give ourselves the space and permission to work with and integrate this material for deeper understanding. The term ‘holotropic' means “moving toward wholeness.” Valeria interviews Yulia Meshoyrer  — She is a Russian-born distinguished Grof-certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator dedicated to the transformative technique developed by Stan and Christina Grof.  Her extensive qualifications include an MA degree in General Psychology from Russia and an MA in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University. Yulia is certified in Spiritual Emergency support and Dream Studies and is a trained Kundalini Yoga teacher and Therapist.  As the visionary founder of "Holotropic Space," Yulia's passion lies in facilitating Holotropic states through Breathwork and other complementary modalities. Her expertise extends to providing essential Psychedelic Integration and Harm Reduction support to those on their healing journey. Furthermore, Yulia proudly serves as a teacher and mentor in Grof Legacy Training US program. To learn more about Yulia Meshoyrer and her work, please visit: https://holotropicspace.com Learn more about Grof's Breathwork Training here: https://grof-legacy-training-usa.mykajabi.com/glt-usa-home-page                           — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well. 

In this episode, Joe and Kyle are honored to welcome back Stanislav and Brigitte Grof: Stan being the person who kickstarted their interest in non-ordinary states of consciousness, breathwork, and this podcast; and Brigitte: his other half, co-creator of Grof® Legacy Training, and support system (and often, voice) since his stroke a few years back. They discuss the recently released Stanislav Grof, LSD Pioneer: From Pharmacology to Archetypes, which Brigitte assembled in honor of Stan's 90th birthday. It celebrates his life's work in pioneering research into non-ordinary states of consciousness and transpersonal psychology, and features an extended interview with Stan; testimonials from a number of legends in the psychedelic and psychological fields like Jack Kornfield, Rupert Sheldrake, Richard Tarnas, and Fritjof Capra; and a large photo album of rarely seen pictures, including Stan doing his first experiments with LSD. And they talk about so much more: The evolution of LSD psychotherapy as Stan realized people's experiences were coming from the psyche rather than any pharmacology; why he started practicing and teaching breathwork; Stan's love of treasure hunts; how the perinatal matrices were born and how each corresponds to astrology and religious archetypes; why experience in breathwork can be so beneficial to better psychedelic experiences and facilitation; why integration is equally as important as the experience; and an argument to take archetypal astrology more seriously – that there is often a synchronicity that can't be denied between these archetypes, events, and experiences.

Rondom de grote liquidatieprocessen Marengo en Eris spelen een trits andere strafzaken tegen verdachten die justitie aan Taghi linkt. Misdaadjournalisten Paul Vugts en Wouter Laumans knopen ze aan elkaar. ‘De achternaam Taghi is een soort vloek.' Volgens Paul Vugts en Wouter Laumans hebben de rechtszaken een aantal dingen gemeen. “Het gaat om een mix van zaken met zeer grof geweld, maar ook de manier waarop wordt gesproken over drugs en over ‘waggies' en ‘hitters'." Vugts: “Het beleid van justitie is alles rond criminele samenwerkingsverbanden te strippen, de hele criminele machtsstructuur aanpakken. Met als eerste goede voorbeeld Ridouan Taghi.” In een groot deel van de zaken zijn dan ook familieleden van Taghi betrokken, zoals neef Anouar, en zijn oudste zoon Faissal. Laumans: “De naam Taghi is een soort vloek, het is een van de meest onderzochte families van Nederland op dit moment.” In de rechtbank in Arnhem speelt bijvoorbeeld een zaak rondom Aimane Taghi. "Zijn verweer is dat hij er met de haren wordt bijgesleept: 'ik ben er alleen voor mijn achternaam.' Maar als ze in de pgp-berichten kijken is er heus echt wel wat.” Verder in deze aflevering: de rol van het Poolse ‘uitzendbureau voor geweld' van Krystian M., en het eigen verweer van Anouar Taghi.  Support the show: https://www.kiosk.nlSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do altered states tell us about the nature of consciousness? And what can philosophy tell us about altered states? John Buchanan has spent his life trying to find the answers. His book, Processing Reality: Finding Meaning in Death, Psychedelics, and Sobriety, details the story of his history of experimentation and addiction, his path to sobriety, and the insights he has gained into the nature of human experience and consciousness.A synthesis of Whitehead's process philosophy and Grof's transpersonal psychology, Buchanan's ideas provide a framework for understanding not only the nature of the psychedelic experience and other altered states, but also the nature of consciousness itself and the structure of the cosmos. 

This interview with Becca Tarnas was recorded during  the 2023 NORWAC gathering. I remember the first time Becca spoke at the conference years ago. Happy to see her evolution as a speaker over the years. I was especially engrossed with her lecture called: "Astrology and Psychedelics: A Symbiotic Relationship Is there a connection between astrology and psychedelics? At Esalen Institute in the mid-1970s, Stanislav Grof and his doctoral student Richard Tarnas were trying to solve the mystery of the inter- and intra-individual variability of LSD sessions. The radical suggestion that astrology might be the answer opened up a vast new domain of research. As the biographer of Grof, archetypal astrologer Becca Tarnas is uniquely positioned to present on this topic of the mutually illuminating relationship between psychedelics and astrology."

Synopsis In the Guiness Book of Music Facts and Feats, the record for "Most Prolific Composer" goes to Georg Philip Telemann, who died on today's date in 1767 at the age of 86. And longevity gave an edge to productivity: Telemann outlived his prolific contemporary, J.S. Bach, by 21 years, and outlived Handel by 12. But even considering the extra years he lived, Telemann's output is staggering. Of Bach's cantatas, some 200 or so survive, but Telemann's number 1400. He also wrote 125 orchestral suites, 125 concertos, 130 trios, 145 pieces for solo keyboard, and about 50 operas. Most composers (if they are lucky), publish one autobiography; Telemann published three, and commented in one of them, "How is it possible for me to remember everything I wrote for violin and winds?" Sometimes, in addition to composing original music, Telemann was also asked to perform it: "A few days before I play a violin concerto," he wrote, "I always locked myself away, fiddle in hand, shirt-sleeves rolled up, with something strong to calm the nerves, and practice." Fortunately, Telemann seemed to find musical inspiration everywhere, including from the pop and folk music of his day. As he put it, "One would scarcely believe what wonderful ideas pipers and fiddlers have when they improvise while dancers pause for breath. An observer could easily gather enough ideas from them in eight days to last a lifetime!"

This week on Tub Talks, we soak in with one of my Esalen and Big Sur elders, Vicki Topp. Vicki has practiced bodywork for many decades alongside our first Tub Talks guest, Deborah Anne Medow. Vicki shares her journey of landing in Big Sur, as well as her immersion into the world of bodywork (massage therapy and other practices). She even demonstrates her skill set on my body during the bath! In the immediate aftermath of an eye injury the evening before our soak, Vicki opens the conversation with her original concept of something she calls ‘alternative futures': a theory that guides her through encountering the possibilities of how to navigate life experiences, including the difficult ones. Falling pregnant in college, Vicki dropped out of law school and found herself in Big Sur. From working with elementary school children at Pacific Valley School in the south coast of Big Sur to starting the massage program at Ventana in Big Sur, Vicki details how Big Sur has always “kept her.” She compares her life in Big Sur to a long term relationship, seeing how her dynamic has shifted and adapted over the years. She tells us about her relationship to learning, to housing, to dating, to boats. She talks about losing friends to death as a result of brainwashing in experimental groups in the 70's. She talks about losing friends now, as she enters a different phase of life. Vicki uses bodywork as her way of impacting society, teaching her technique across the world. Vicki's experience of practicing bodywork is defined by working with a client, as opposed to working on someone. She describes bodywork metaphorically. She sees parallels to life through something she calls ‘reach patterns.' Reach patterns are both physical and emotional. They can delineate the way we reach for our dreams, or expand the length of our arms from our body. Vicki claims to have grown reach patterns in her body, while being limited in her life goals. Vicki gives us permission to be unapologetically ourselves through her demonstration of how. Vicki paves the way by showing us how to be a strong, independent, intelligent woman. Her vulnerability and honesty about being lost in a nowness is permissive too. So soak in her wisdom, and learn a little bit more about Big Sur culture and the stewarding of the land through living as Vicki Topp! To join Secular Sabbath membership, you can find us at secular-sabbath.com/membership.

When you look at the world, it can feel like we're in a precarious moment. If you've listened to past episodes, you know we call this the meta-crisis — an era of overlapping and interconnected crises like climate change, polarization, and the rise of decentralized technologies like synthetic biology. It can feel like we're on a path to destroy ourselves.That's why we're talking to Rick Doblin, the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, or MAPS. They're a nonprofit focused on educating and researching the benefits of using psychedelic therapy to address PTSD and promote humane ways of relating worldwide.Doblin's vision is for nothing less than a transformation of society through psychedelic-assisted therapy – not for the drugs themselves, but for their ability to help us react to one another with compassion, appreciate differences, and accept criticism.Given the perma-crisis we face, it's provocative to think about a tool that, when prescribed and used safely, could help us overcome rivalrous dynamics out in the world and on social media. If we rescue our hijacked brains, we can heal from the constant trauma inflation we get online, and shrink the perception gap that splits us into tribes.Both MAPS and Center for Humane Technology want to understand what helps minds heal and be free. We invite you to keep an open mind about a different kind of humane technology as you listen to this episode. Correction: Doblin attributes a quote to Stan Grof about psychedelics helping your ego be “transparent to the transcendent.” In his book Pathways to Bliss, Joseph Campbell wrote, "When a deity serves as a model for you, your life becomes transparent to the transcendent as long as you realize the inspiring power of that deity. This means living not in the name of worldly success and achievement, but rather in the name of the transcendent, letting the energy manifest through you.” Grof was likely paraphrasing Campbell's work and applying it to psychedelics. Additional credits:The episode contains an original musical composition by Jeff Sudakin.
