Podcasts about Humphry Osmond

He's the son of Timothy Leary and one of today's leading voices in the psychedelic renaissance of the 21st century. But Zach Leary's journey hardly unfolded in the way you might expect. In this deeply informative and myth-busting podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Zach about his new book with Sounds True, Your Extraordinary Mind.  With a "friend to friend" approach to discussing the amazing potential for the safe use of psychedelics, Tami and Zach converse about: carrying forward the legacy of the front-runners of psychedelic exploration, including icons like Terence McKenna, Humphry Osmond, Dr. John C. Lilly, and of course, Zach's father Timothy and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass); acknowledging the mistakes of the past and dispelling the myths and misconceptions about psychedelics; bringing legitimacy to the use of psychedelics for healing and insight; a review of the major compounds and their sources (natural and manmade), such as MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, LSD, and ketamine; the importance of the 3 S's: set, setting, and sustainability; turning insights into action; challenging experiences (instead of "bad trips"); Carl Jung and shadow work; using psychedelics to overcome our fear of death; Zach's personal battle with addiction and how psychedelics supported his recovery; the nature of consciousness; psychedelics as humanity's evolutionary partner; and more.

The best conversations unravel new threads with every turn of phrase. You're left with a tapestry, not of answers but of new possibilities. I had a feeling that a dialogue with Josh Schrei might weave that kind of tapestry, and I wasn't disappointed.If you haven't heard of his podcast The Emerald, I'd highly recommend it. It's gained a dedicated following over the last few years, and is as much an endeavour in ‘mythic sensemaking' as it is an artistic expression. The Emerald “explores the human experience through a vibrant lens of myth, story, and imagination … drawing from a deep well of poetry, lore, and mythos to challenge conventional narratives on politics and public discourse, meditation and mindfulness, art, science, literature, and more.”There are overlaps with Josh's work and my own, so we covered a lot of terrain; AI, the meaning crisis, the return of ritual, and why an animate worldview might be essential if we're to make it through the meta-crisis. You can find the episode above, or on the Substack app, Apple podcasts and most other podcasting platforms. Tripping on UtopiaThank you to everyone who read and commented on Nora Bateson's piece ‘Communication is Sacred' - it's had a wonderful reception and felt like a positive way to launch guest pieces on The Bigger Picture. As I mentioned in my introduction to her essay, I've also been in touch with Benjamin Breen and he's sent me a couple of paragraphs to give context in response to Nora's piece, which you can find below: I wrote Tripping on Utopia because I believe that history has important lessons to impart for anyone interested in the present and future of psychedelics. I did not try to glorify or to condemn any of the historical figures in my book; rather, I wanted to just understand them in the context of their time. The New Yorker's review of Tripping noted that Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson were "the most sympathetic figures in the book,” but it also noted that they are presented as part of much wider history which emphasizes the optimism and idealism of early psychedelic researchers during a period of enormous challenges. As I explain in a recent piece for the online magazine Nautilus, one key intervention I make is to retell the history of psychedelic therapy from the perspective of women in the 1940s and 1950s (not only Mead, but also pioneering therapists like Betty Eisner) rather than men in the '60s and '70s. Another goal was simply to understand early psychedelic researchers on their own terms, which meant casting a wide net and thinking deeply about the intellectual foundations of their work. This is why the main theme of the book is utopian yet applied science — an approach that Mead in particular did more than anyone else to elevate in public discourse, and one that informed the work of everyone from the most well known figures in the history of psychedelics (Humphry Osmond, Aldous Huxley) to the less well known (like Eisner). As you can perhaps guess from this summary, Gregory Bateson is an important figure in the history I tell but this is not a biography of him. It's a comprehensively researched history of the first generation of psychedelic scientists, the product of over five years of daily work and careful research in well over a dozen historical archives. If you're interested in the science and culture of psychedelics, I think it's worth your attention.  You can buy Tripping on Utopia on the US Amazon here or the UK Amazon here.

La palabra “psicodélico” viene del griego y se acuñó por primera vez en 1956 por el psiquiatra Humphry Osmond, que había estado investigando sobre la dietilamida de ácido lisérgico, más conocida como LSD. Los psicodélicos son un tipo de drogas que producen alteración de la realidad, del pensamiento y de la conciencia, lo que puede dar lugar a alucinaciones. Los psicodélicos pueden incluir sustancias naturales como las setas alucinógenas, que tienen sustancias como la psilocibina, de la que hablaremos hoy, y el peyote, que es un cactus pequeño que contiene mescalina, otro psicodélico. Otros psicodélicos son sintéticos, como el LSD y el mdma, también conocido como éxtasis. El éxtasis también se llama MDMA por su composición química, que es 3,4- metilendioxi-metanfetamina, y que como habras posido apreciar en el nombre, se deriva de la anfetamina. Por tanto, psicodélicos importantes: LSD, psilocibina, MDMA o éxtasis y mescalina. Otro bastante conocido puede ser la ayahuasca y la ketamina, que a dosis altas también puede tener propiedades psicodélicas o incluso el cannabis a ciertas dosis. Como veis, hay bastantes psicodélicos o sustancias con efectos psicodélicos, pero hoy vamos a centrarnos en una en concreto: la psilocibina. Aunque probablemente en un futuro cercano iremos tratando otros como el cannabis, el MDMA o el LSD.

The term “psychedelic” is derived from the Ancient Greek words “psyche” (meaning “mind”) and “delos” (which means “to manifest”). The British-born Canadian psychiatrist Humphry Osmond coined it in a letter to author Aldous Huxley in 1956. Psychotropic medication definition. Is any drug prescribed to stabilise or improve mood, mental status, or behaviour? It's an umbrella term for many medications, including prescription and commonly misused drugs. If you want to discuss the benefits of psychedelic drugs, then according to McKenna's 1992 book on Food of The Gods. He proposed the Stoned Ape Hypothesis. He explained that ingesting psychedelic plants may have encouraged social bonding and consciousness, responsible for doubling the brain capacity of our ancestors two million years ago.  Unfortunately, it is only a theory with very little proof or support. There's possibly some truth in what McKenna enunciates, said the palaeontologist Dr Martin Lockley, author of a book called How Humanity Came Into Being.  However, perusing this theory and being an optimist, could our village cokehead be the next Einstein?  On the other hand, research has shown that psychedelics may genuinely spark the creation of new neurons and synapses, a process known as neurogenesis within the Petri dish.  Perhaps in the future, treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like dementia could stimulate the formation of new neurons without sending patients on any mind-bending cosmic adventure. For the baby boomers, a psychedelic experience is somewhat déjà vu, sending you back to the summer of love. It is indeed a trip down memory lane for some (pun intended). Still, it doesn't mean it's all a bed of roses, and it's no exaggeration that these substances can harm in the wrong hands or be abused.  Albeit a popular and mainstream topic for generations, it has been immortalised in history books, folk law and music with positive and negative correlations. Psychoactive substance A psychedelic drug is a psychoactive substance whose primary action is to produce hallucinations or other sensory distortions, with secondary effects that are either less prominent or more desirable. Because of this dual action, the correct term for these drugs is entactogens (entheogens if the primary product is spiritual). Psychedelics include a variety of hallucinogenic compounds like LSD, and mescaline and primarily act on the serotonergic system in the brain. Psilocybin causes visual and mental distortions, such as dysphoria, stress, and anxiety. While amphetamines like cocaine, crystal meth, ketamine and MDMA cause feelings of euphoria. Phencyclidine, also known as PCP or angel dust, is an NMDA antagonist and induces symptoms that can mirror those observed in schizophrenia. Learn more:

In this week's episode, we bring you a thought-provoking discussion on the Psychedelic Renaissance. Our guest, historian and professor Erika Dyck, offers her perspective on where psychiatry and medical research intersect with psychedelic research. She also speaks about society's moral panic; what it means and what we should be doing about it. Erika is a Professor and a Canada Research Chair in the History of Health & Social Justice at the University of Saskatchewan. She was introduced to us by a previous guest, Paul Gootenberg, and we are so glad he made the introduction. With over 20 years of research under her belt, Erika is not only an expert on the history of psychedelic research but is also plugged into its future. She is the author or co-author of several books, including Psychedelic Psychiatry (2008); A Culture’s Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada (2016); Psychedelic Prophets: The Letters of Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond (2018); and co-author of The Acid Room: the Psychedelic Trials and Tribulations of Hollywood Hospital (2022). She is also the guest editor of the Chacruna Series on women in the history of psychedelic plant medicines. At the University of Saskatchewan, Erika teaches courses in the history of medicine and madness. She is particularly interested in making history inclusive and learning about people who have been written about but rarely listened to. Some of the community-engaged collaborations have created space for these discussions, see: https://madnesscanada.com/ and www.eugenicsarchive.ca.This has extended to work focused on the COVID-19 pandemic with the COVID-19 Community Archive.Erika works to think about things in a global and interconnected way, bringing strong research and authentic passion to the topics she speaks on.

After studying with Humphry Osmond when he was 20 years old, Jeremy Narby became intrigued by the intersection of psychedelics, mental health, and philosophy. As a graduate student in anthropology at Stanford, he lived with the Ashaninka people of the Peruvian Amazon, which set him on an early path researching ayahuasca. In this episode of the Third Wave podcast, Jeremy talks with Paul F. Austin about the importance of language, how we can shift our worldviews, and powerful lessons from plant teachers.

# Warning: This programme contains scenes of drug use # In 1955, a British member of parliament, Christopher Mayhew, took the hallucinogenic drug mescaline and had his experience filmed by the BBC. The drug was legal at the time and the experiment was supervised by the pyschiatrist Dr Humphry Osmond. The film was part of a wider public debate about psychedelic drugs following the publication of The Doors of Perception by the writer Aldous Huxley. But the film of the experiment was never broadcast and years later mescaline was put on the banned list of drugs in the UK because of fears of its potential impact on mental health..

In this episode, Joe interviews Ph.D., Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, and author specializing in the history of psychedelics and their relation to the medical industry, Erika Dyck. Dyck talks about her interest in Canadian history and specifically Saskatchewan, which was the first jurisdiction in North America to elect a socialist government. She talks about how it was clear in the early days of governmental support that they were reaching out to people with bold ideas, leading to Humphry Osmand coming there in 1951 to commence research that he felt was being stifled in London. They talk extensively about the work of Osmand and Abram Hoffer, early experiments with giving staff in mental hospitals LSD to encourage empathy toward patients, a hospital architect taking LSD and learning that tiled, checkerboard-esque floors may be a challenge to patients with depth perception issues, a “Hollywood hospital” where wealthy film stars were flown to deal with addiction largely in secret, the concept of having patients write out an autobiography before a medicine session in order to reflect back on their life afterward, Osmond's participation in a peyote ceremony and his subsequent report, why the Timothy Leary model of dropping out of the scientific/academic world isn't helpful, why time passed and changed public opinion have led to old research coming to light, and why it's more important to talk to people who aren't sold on psychedelics yet instead of those who are already bought in and live in our psychedelic bubble. Notable Quotes “Even people like Humphry Osmond or Abram Hoffer who were on the frontlines of that psychedelic heyday in the 1950s- they were quite careful (and obviously they were sort of practiced at this), but they were quite careful about how I might characterize their work with psychedelics, and they insisted that what they were doing was not unethical, they did not have money from the C.I.A., they had lots of checks and balances, and they were clearly responding to that very heavy reputation and characterization of psychedelics. And I reflect on that every once in a while, and wonder, ‘what would they would say today?’” On Osmond and peyote: “It was the question of whether or not these chemicals and these rituals using chemicals should be allowed more broadly. And I think that the federal government in Canada was thinking that, again, this white-coated British guy would walk in and behave like the colonialist that they expected him to be, and come out and say ‘these are rotten ceremonies,’ but that was absolutely not who Humphry Osmond was. He participated fully. He chewed the buttons, he threw up, he participated in the feast afterwards, he participated in the drumming circle. ...So Osmond then made a statement (and he’s published about this in a variety of different places) saying this was an absolutely beautiful ceremony, it was absolutely sacred, it should be protected, it should be promoted, [and] people should be given access to peyote so that they continue this sacred ceremony. And the Canadian government was not impressed with this reaction.” “Our governments are addicted to the war on drugs.” “I think that part of what the psychedelic world needs to do, in my humble opinion, is to reach out and seek these kinds of bridges and these alliances, because I think that there’s a risk that we can just convince ourselves that psychedelics are good and that it won’t actually break through the psychedelic bubble, if you will, to convince regulators that in fact, there is real merit here. There’s still a sense that-- even just saying LSD- I gave a presentation last week to a group of retired physicians and these are people with medical training and who’ve spent their careers doing medical education and medical work, clinical work. And they’re like ‘oh, but LSD, that’s the one that fries your brain, right?’ I mean, these were disproven studies in the 70s, and yet it’s very interesting that that characterization is so strong.” Links Twitter Chacruna.net: Women in psychedelics Mescaline: A Global History of the First Psychedelic, by Mike Jay The Seasteading Institute About Erika Dyck Erika Dyck is a professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan.

“The word psychedelic was coined by Humphry Osmond. Psyche comes from the Greek word for spirit or soul, and delic means manifesting. So psychedelic means manifesting the mind.” In this episode of the Mindspace podcast, Dr. Joe speaks with Elizabeth Nielson and Dr. Ingmar Gorman on the renaissance of psychedelics in western medicine and culture. Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy has the potential to transform how a wide range of mental health problems are treated. Elizabeth and Ingmar are both at the forefront of this renaissance. Elizabeth is a clinical psychologist specializing in addictive and mood disorders. She is the Director of Education and Training for the Psychedelic Education and Continuing Care Program at the Center for Optimal Living. She is also involved as a researcher and therapist on studies of psilocybin and MDMA, most notably with Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) the Experimental Therapeutics Research Laboratory at NYU Langone School of Medicine. Ingmar is also a clinical psychologist. He works with populations who have had experiences with psychedelics and other psychoactive compounds. He is the Director of the Psychedelic Education and Continuing Care Program at the Centre for Optimal Living. He is the site co-principal Investigator and therapist on a MAPS Phase 3 clinical trial MDMA for post-traumatic stress disorder. And he is an NIH-funded fellow at NYU and a board member of Horizons Media. In this episode Joe, Elizabeth, and Ingmar discussed: - The history of psychedelics and how we arrived at the psychedelic renaissance - Current science and applications of psychedelics - The subjective experience of these compounds and their clinical action - The role of mindfulness in psychedelic-assisted therapy - Future directions in this field Mindspace will be hosting Ingmar and Elizabeth in Montreal on Friday, November 1st. They will be offering a brief presentation and Q&A for the public. And on Saturday and Sunday, they will be leading an introductory workshop on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for healthcare professionals.

Today I talked with historian Erika Dyck about Aldous Huxley, Humphry Osmond and their correspondence over a ten year period. Psychedelic Prophets: The Letters of Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2018) is a collection of letters which were carefully curated by Erika and Cynthia Carson Bisbee, Paul Bisbee, and Patrick Farrell. During our discussion, Erika recounts the special relationship between two intellectual juggernauts, Huxley and Osmond, and their discussions about drugs, addiction, and death and dying. This important set of letters raises fascinating questions about medicines, the "psychedelic renaissance," the nature of the mind, and perceptions of reality. Dyck is the author of Psychedelic Psychiatry: LSD From Clinic to Campus (Johns Hopkins UP, 2010) as well as Culture's Catalyst: Historical Encounters with Peyote and the Native American Church in Canada (Manitoba, 2017). Lucas Richert is an associate professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He studies intoxicating substances and the pharmaceutical industry. He also examines the history of mental health. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Please join us as we talk to Paul Davids, co-author of Blowing America's Mind..Blowing America’s MindA True Story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zenby John Selby and Paul Jeffrey DavidsYELLOW HAT PUBLISHING — JANUARY 2, 2018An Insider Exposé: College Kids are Guinea Pigs in CIA’s Mind-Control ExperimentsIn the 1950s, the CIA had a macabre fascination with hypnosis and psychedelic drugs, and they unleashed programs to make use of them for military purposes. They lavished funds on a highly‐classified mind‐control project (which they named MK‐ULTRA) with the intent of bending the minds of enemies, foreign and domestic, and of erasing memories of secrets known to their own retired agents. As MK‐ULTRA grew into the 1960’s, their list of targets expanded to include college students – especially anti‐Vietnam‐War activists.John Selby and Paul Jeffrey Davids, the authors of Blowing America’sMind: A True Story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zen, were among Princeton University students in the late 1960’s who got tangled up in these secret experiments at the nearby New Jersey Neuro‐Psychiatric Institute’s Bureau of Research. Recruited and paid to experience multiple deep-hypnosis sessions (mingled with micro‐doses of LSD), Selby, Davids and students from other campuses, such as Columbia and Harvard, believed what they were told: that regular monitored experiences of this type would introduce them to a kind of ‘super‐consciousness,’ spiritual enlightenment, and even better sex. Engaged in some of the very first psychedelic research, led by famous ‘psychedelic pioneers’ such as psychiatrist Dr. Humphry Osmond, Selby and Davids got some of the positive pay‐off, but nearly lost their identities – and their minds – in the process.This true story documents their experiences as guinea pigs in secret CIA mind‐control deep hypnosis research, and it reads like scenes in a movie – intrigue and conflict at then all‐male Princeton University, dreamy and euphoric journeys to other worlds, hormone‐and‐drug‐ induced fun and frolic, sky‐rocketing escapes from Vietnam‐era reality, and drastic changes in their states of mind and behavior. Set at Princeton, and awash in mind manipulation and near mental disintegration, as well as a being a love story, it is in some ways a cousin to A Beautiful Mind.Selby and Davids began trying to document their experiences a few years after graduating but realized that the confessions and self‐exposure involved – the raw reality of it all – was more than they were prepared to reveal at that time. They retained their avid interest in altered consciousness, but left their story untold – until now.“Blowing America’s Mind is a fascinating journey of love, drugs and covert governmental intrigue. Suspenseful in documenting the impact of the ‘Psychedelic Revolution’ at Princeton in the late 1960’s, the book is a complex, poignant drama detailing CIA-sponsored hypnosis and LSD research, as the famous all-male Ivy League university is on the eve of going coed and on the edge of imploding.”— Jeremy Kagan, Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, USC, and Chairperson of Special Projects for the Directors Guild of AmericaAbout the AuthorsPaul Jeffrey Davids is the co‐author of six “Star Wars” books for Lucasfilm.

La Psicodelia es un neologismo formado a partir de dos palabras griegas que se traducen como "alma" y "manifestación". La palabra psicodélico fue inventada por el psicólogo británico Humphry Osmond y su significado es: "el que manifiesta el alma". Este tipo de arte se caracteriza por evocar las vivencias propias de la experiencia psicodélica. La manifestación musical de las alucinaciones provocadas por el consumo de sustancias psicotrópicas que provocan la alteración de la percepción del tiempo, del sentido de la identidad o de la empatía colectiva. A mitad del siglo XX, la psicología, la literatura, el arte y la música se imbuyeron de este estilo para manifestar aquellos sentimientos menos perceptibles del modo más sutil. Tras vivir épocas de abandono, hoy, por fin, estamos preparados para vivir nuevos viajes interestelares a través de los campos de fresa, porque esta es, sin lugar a dudas, una nueva estación de la bruja.

Guest speakers: Myron Stolaroff, Humphry Osmond, & Al Hubbard PROGRAM NOTES: On October 30, 1964, Dr. Humphry Osmond, Myron Stolaroff, Willis Harman, and Al Hubbard took LSD together. The next day they discussed what was learned. This is a recording of that gathering, and it is the first of the recovered recordings from The Stolaroff Collection, hosted at Erowid.org. "There's a central power system, and here's the source. And the guidance system simply involves getting the person as close as possible to that source. The closer he gets the more aware he is, the more he sees who he is, the more he sees that everything he does is really of his own making and his own creation, and the more he sees his total responsibility. Now it's inconceivable to me that you could move toward that source without increasing responsibility. And to me, Leary has found a way of moving in that direction but not going toward it, because he's obviously missed his responsibility level." -Myron Stolaroff "From our crowd I think very, very few people get off the beam the way I would consider Leary and Alpert are off the beam, for example." -Myron Stolaroff "[We should use these substances] in a way which will not simply allow us to become aware of what any decent mystical saints have been aware of for a long, long time, but to become aware of how to produce a rise in the social level of communication, which will, indeed, transform the species from a biological animal to a communicating animal, which is what Teilhard had in view." -Humphry Osmond "[The map of the noosphere] is not to be created by mucking up bits of the Book of the Dead and saying how smart chaps were. This is a fraud." -Humphry Osmond "When you most need help is when you least want it." -Myron Stolaroff "This is the life that I've seen: Live or die. Be intelligent enough to get along. Don't walk in two places without knowing where you're going." -Al Hubbard "The ten year delay in our work brought about through our struggle with NIH in Washington and through being unable to cope with a large and powerful power-system there has produced, it's resulted in probably several million people being quite unnecessarily damaged." -Humphry Osmond (November 1, 1964) "You have to understand the specific risks that [using psychedelics] involves. Now the specific risk is that every person involved will be altered whether they like it or not. And that the result of this will, in a sense, alter every other relationship they have whether they like it or not."
