Meriana Dinkova is welcomed back to the Exploring Psychedelics stage and the Entheogenic Evolution podcast with her return to the conference with her talk, "Empower Your Inner Shaman and Realize the Creator Within"
Experiential journalist Rak Razam delves deep in an intimate discussion with psychotherapist, Navigating Altered States practitioner and Tantric Sex coach Meriana Dinkova about the mind, body, and soul connection. What are the connections between the flesh and the spirit? Are we conditioned in the West to repress pleasure? Is ecstasis tapping into Source Consciousness both through sex and etheogens? Why does the shamanic paradigm traditionally separate the sexual energies? How can we harness peak tantric states to anchor a relationship with the Divine? And how does this relate to Godgasm states of ego release and the 5-MeO-DMT pathways?

Thank you so much for listening to Entheogen and for supporting us on Patreon and by telling your friends. At Burning Man in 2014, we were inspired to create Entheogen (after a talk with Meriana Dinkova). Since then, we’ve released about one-and-a-half episodes per month. On this, our two-year anniversary since posting the first episode, we are beyond overjoyed to share with you our very first “on location” recording, and the first time we’ve all recorded in person together – Burning Man 2016. We had the great pleasure and honor to speak with not one, not just two, but three pioneers and key drivers in the movement to mainstream psychedelic medicine: Alex Grey & Allyson Grey, co-founders of CoSM, the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM.org). Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS.org). We thank deeply all three of our esteemed guests for their time and generosity of spirit. We’d also like to thank Dr. Bronner’s ReFOAMation Village for their hospitality and Alex & Allyson for graciously hosting the recording in their RV. Topics: Alex & Allyson Grey’s take on the state of the movement to mainstream psychedelics Has non-violence hamstrung our progress? Alex & Allyson’s $2000 fine for cannabis possession upon entering Burning Man Alex mentions Roland Griffiths’ reprisal of Walter Pahnke’s Good Friday Experiment at Johns Hopkins University: Hopkins Scientists Show Hallucinogen In Mushrooms Creates Universal “Mystical” Experience Rick Doblin discusses the improved relationship with Law Enforcement and the Burning Man organization including better integration of the Zendo Project at Burning Man 2016 Rick quotes Einstein: “There’s no conflict between science and religion. There’s a conflict between bad science and bad religion.” Rick talks about how he sees psychedelics being integrated into society in 25 years Rick discusses the “beautiful breakup” he had while on MDA Rick compares MDA to MDMA Allyson discusses her personal experiences with MDA and MDMA Alex, Allyson, and Rick discuss their milestones this year: 20 years since the founding of CoSM and 30 years since the founding of MAPS Rick describes building a handball court at New College of Florida, overlooking the nudist colony where his girlfriend was lifeguarding Rick discusses the first responders and veterans enrolled in the MDMA for PTSD study (“not just for hippies at Burning Man”) Cannabis as a neuroprotective, anti-tumor agent (and it makes you feel better too) Carl Sagan’s friendship with Lester Grinspoon Carl Sagan’s secret use of cannabis for 40 years Psychedelics and schizophrenia Rick’s idea to create a “drug license” system Time to “come out of the psychedelic closet” MAPS organizes Global Psychedelic Dinners to encourage “coming out” about our psychedelic use BuildEntheon.com
A deeply personal post-ayahuasca sharing session in Peru, April 2015, with Rak Razam and Meriana Dinkova. After recent inoculations with the 5-MeO-DMT sacred medicine of the Bufo Alvarius toad, which induced a full spectrum remembrance of unity consciousness (i.e., GOD), Razam has noticed that the 5MEO circuit is consistently re-activated on other entheogens and indeed, is the ON Switch inside us all. This conversation was held directly after a second ayahuasca retreat session which triggered hours long immersion into the 5MEO light field, and a corresponding decompression of language and integration. It’s all words, dear listener. What is offered here is the act of languagizing itself, a sacred pillow-talk conversation about God as a unified field and the relationship of co-discovery between the Creator and the Created. So you recognize divinity: Now what? Before enlightenment: chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment: chop wood, carry water. What is the value of enlightenment? Photo: Ben Hewett. JOIN US!

On the first anniversary of Entheogen, to kick off Season 2, we decide to discuss the cultural phenomenon of Burning Man, where the show was conceived. Kevin wonders if setting the stage for a more intentional journey – gathering a group, making a circle, and expressing intentions collectively – empowered him to go further this time Kevin shares the itinerary of his (initially) "hard trip" at Burning Man – well into the spiritual realm, dosage-wise – revisiting and redeeming the journey he discussed in Entheogen 004: Bad Trips, and transcending anxiety and fear to experience bliss The ground as a point of reference: "grounding" Brad and Kevin re-play their Burning Man 2015 experience in the video game tent at Center Camp – the simple controls belying the mind-fuck of "level two" joystick inversion and character mitosis Brad reviews three more excellent talks by Meriana Dinkova at Burning Man 2015 Entheogen 006: Interview with Meriana Dinkova Navigating Altered States The feeling/vibe of Burning Man Decommodification The importance of the crazy clothing aspect to Burning Man, a unifying force – "furs" as the eleventh principle The 10 Principles of Burning Man

- Meriana's work: preparing and processing - techniques for protection and optimization of a trip - Bruce Lee; superheroes as archetypal guides or guardians to be called upon during altered states - personifying LSD, mushrooms, and ayahuasca - LSD: that's you. That's your shit. Deal with it. (Can cover a lot. Can be cold about it.) - Mushrooms: the little brothers, jokers. This is your shit and this is how it's funny. Lightness. The universe is a cosmic joke. Intelligent. Caring. At higher doses, less funny and more deep. - Ayahuasca: the great mother; the grandmother: wise feminine being who cares about you. These are the ways in which you're not your shit. Hard truths, e.g. shows you how you've harmed other people. Non-judgemental. Caring, wise. Supportive. 10 Day Plant Medicine Reteat With 3 Shamans- Peru; Apr 18-27th 2015 – Tickets - future topic teaser: Sex Magic and Erotic Influence
with Meriana Dinkova How can the modern psychonaut best navigate innerspace? Experiential journalist Rak Razam meets Western psychotherapist and relationship counsellor Meriana Dinkova, who also organizes retreats in Peru combining Medicine Work and neo-shamanistic psychotherapeutic tools. Meriana discusses her experience as a women in the machismo-world of male shamans and how to use advanced psychological techniques to navigate the shamanic landscape and hacking the unconscious. Her spiritual toolkit embraces somatic techniques, mudras, NLP, breathing, visualisation, command words, hypnotic techniques and much more to maximise our potential within altered space. But how do we recognise and protect ourselves from the entities native to these realms? Can we choose our own cultural archetypes as allies and godforms in the shamanic space (Spiderman and Yoda vs. jaguars and snakes?). And can we integrate these deep experiences after the journey and find support within the psychedelic and shamanic community to facilitate this integration? Meriana is the author of the upcoming book ‘Navigating Altered States’ and is hosting deep shamanic healing retreats in Peru in July and December, 2014 with experienced shamans.
