Podcasts about psychedelic healing the promise

If you 'd like to get a copy of the Powerpoint presentation, please email Neal at goldsmith.neal@gmail.com The much-heralded "Psychedelic Renaissance" is really "just" a renaissance in psychedelic research. The real societal psychedelic renaissance begins in just five years or so when these extraordinary substances will be rescheduled and become more widely available. In this talk, I'll review the current state of the research on the clinical use of psychedelics, and describe psychedelic integration, the popular new practice of "microdosing," and the concept of "ego-death." I'll highlight the relationship between the stages of developmental psychology and tribal rites of passage - both of which are facilitated by the loosening action of visionary substances and both of which represent mini- "deaths and rebirths" - and show how societal development mirrors personal development. We'll conclude with a discussion of the future of psychedelics policy and the big-picture implications of a re-introduction of psychedelics into Western civilization. Neal M. Goldsmith, Ph.D. is a social psychologist, expert in psychedelic research and therapy, and a licensed psychotherapist with a psychospiritual development orientation.

This is Entheogen. Elevate the Conversation. It’s March 12, 2017, and we are discussing psychedelic healing with Dr. Neal Goldsmith. Topics: Neal’s book Psychedelic Healing: The Promise of Entheogens for Psychotherapy and Spiritual Development provides copious discussion points for our conversation today. Neal's therapy practice, and how his use of psychedelics has informed his practice of psychotherapy Imago therapy LSD is a tool: Charles Manson becomes more Charles Manson; Richard Alpert becomes Ram Dass. The substitution of the eucharist as a proxy for the original psychoactive sacrament. Can we please go back to the active version? What are the consequences of inactive substitutes in religious ceremonies? How have alternative spiritual practices sprung up in the absence of sanctioned Entheogenic rituals? George Carlin’s Modern Man. Are we in the midst of McKenna’s Archaic Revival? Is this another way to internalize the unfolding ecological apocalypse? “If we’re going to be post-post-modern, if we’re going to be integral, we can’t have a fight between tribalism and modernity. We can’t have a fight between spirituality and the material world.” Meditation, mindfulness, yoga, breathing… Deep breathing to expel carbon dioxide in addition to inhaling oxygen. McKenna’s conjecture that it’s possible to get to the same state of consciousness that psychedelics provide access to, using meditation or chanting or drumming, but who has time for that? What do you recommend to listeners who might be interested in some form of psychedelic therapy, present company included? The dichotomy of tribalism vs. modernism: our human ancestors living naturally but for shorter time, vs. modern humans living longer but disconnected from nature. Spiraling up vs. retreating to tribalism. Spirituality vs. science. The concept of rational mysticism.

In part one of the podcast finale, D.S. Moss physically & mentally prepares for his psychedelic ego death trip. Psychologist and psychedelic guru Dr. Neal Goldsmith, author of Psychedelic Healing: The Promise of Entheogens for Psychotherapy and Spiritual Development, joins the show to discuss how death influences the psychedelic experience - from tribal rites of passage to end-of-life therapy to death of ego. Devin Martin, life (and death) coach extraordinaire returns and cracks open the Moss shell to expose the gooey caramel center where his heart used to be and crafts the 7 ayahuasca ceremony intentions that will (hopefully) reprogram Moss's less than healthy approach to LOVE and SUCCESS. It's like a blissful car crash.
