Over the past
decade, many famous entrepreneurs and celebrities have begun to open up
about their life-changing experiences with psychedelics that led to
their personal successes. But less well-known are the wisdom-bringing
psychedelic experiences of many top psychologists, psychiatrists,
researchers, and others who have taken what they learned from their
entheogenic experiences and applied it in their professions, leading to
therapeutic advancements, scientific discoveries, and healing for
thousands.
In this profound book, Dr. Richard Louis Miller shares
stories of psychedelic transformation, insight, and wisdom from his
conversations with 19 scientists, doctors, therapists, and teachers,
each of whom has been self-experimenting with psychedelic medicines, sub
rosa, for decades. We hear from scientific psychonaut Amanda Feilding,
founder of the Beckley Foundation; ethnobotanical explorer Dennis
McKenna; research advocate and head of MAPS Rick Doblin; and the
“Sunshine Makers”: Tim Scully, the scientist taught to make LSD by
Owsley Stanley, and Michael Randall, the leader of the Brotherhood of
Eternal Love. We learn about recasting “bad trips” as unfamiliar
challenges from psychedelic swami Allan Ajaya as well as the therapeutic
uses of MDMA from “the love doctor” Charley Wininger and gain decades
of insights from psychedelic professor Thomas B. Roberts as well as
several others.
Revealing the psychedelic wisdom uncovered in
spite of decades of the “War on Drugs,” Dr. Miller and his contributors
show how LSD and other psychedelics offer a pathway to creativity,
healing, innovation, and liberation.
“I love this book! The interviews (really, intimate conversations) are
emotionally intense, insightful, and revelatory. Each is a deep dive
into a life transformed early on by psychedelic revelations and also
matured, deepened, and revised over decades of continued psychedelic
use. Finally able to be shared, here is the knowledge and experience of
elders, shared life lessons of caring and compassion. A book of gifts,
of gratitude, and so much to be learned.”
