"In old times, and also in our time among the Indian tribes, psychedelic substances were considered sacred and they were used with the right attitude and in a ritual and spiritual context. And what a difference if we compare it with the careless and irresponsible use of LSD in the streets and in the discotheques of New York City and everywhere in the West. It is a tragic misunderstanding of the nature and the meaning of these kinds of substances."

— Albert Hofmann

The subject of consciousness is one of the most fascinating and significant for me. Personal experiences with psychedelics, combined with an interest in constructivist theories and Buddhist philosophy, have made this area particularly important to me. Although my professional work is not directly related to this subject, my strong interest remains unchanged. It was incredibly captivating to attend an almost hour-long lecture on the physics of consciousness, held by Stuart Hameroff - one of the co-authors of the consciousness theory "Orchestrated Objective Reduction" (Orch-OR). Even more inspiring was meeting people after the lecture who share the same passion and interest, and the opportunity to exchange views with them. #consciousness #psychedelics #research #philosophy #buddhism

Clergy in study ‘blown away’ by first #psylocybin experience. “…the vast majority of the 33 clergy who participated in the study—more than 90 percent—said taking psilocybin was one of the most spiritually meaningful and deeply sacred experiences of their lives. Almost half said it was the most profound thing they had ever experienced, period. Many of them also said it made them better religious leaders.” #religion #psychedelic #psychedelics #shrooms #spirituality

#SashaShulgin é um químico que se notabilizou pela exploração das possibilidades terapêuticas das substâncias psicodélicas. Vale muito assistir ao documentário que contextualiza sua vida e seu trabalho em prol da #CulturaPsicodélica. Sua esposa, #AnnShulgin, é também muito interessante.

If you're taking some #psychedelics today/tonight, you should soundtrack your journey with my new album The Mechanics of Mysticism! It's deeply weird and trippy, and it's all about the methods of mystical experience, so it'll be a wild ride!

#ErikDavis: "There is a reason that #esoteric things were esoteric throughout the history of #culture and #religion, and it is that they are not for everybody, at least at the stage most people are, trying to just make a living, trying to keep their families together... because a lot of these esoteric practices and experiences, have a kind of #deconstructing quality, they pull the rug out from under you, they show you a multiplicity world, sometimes god is everywhere, and it is pretty groovy, but it can be, in someways, #unsettling."
