The Psychedelic Experience

A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead

De: Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, Richard Alpert, Daniel Pinchbeck - introduction

Narrado por: Paul Heitsch

We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive 60s - that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony - is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today's preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective, inclusive (and overtly tripped-out) cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man.

The Psychedelic Experience, created in the movement's early years by the prophetic shaman-professors Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), is a foundational text that serves as a model and a guide for all subsequent mind-expanding inquiries. In this wholly unique book, the authors provide an interpretation of an ancient sacred manuscript, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, from a psychedelic perspective. The Psychedelic Experience describes their discoveries in broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of Tibetan meditation techniques and psychotropic substances.

As sacred as the text it reflects, The Psychedelic Experience is a guidebook to the wilderness of mind and an indispensable resource from the founding fathers of psychedelia.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It is a book for the living as well as for the dying." (Lama Govinda)

Awesome guide.

A great guide/insight for the curious and well experienced. A great introduction to expanding consciousness

Take mushrooms !!

Lose your mind , find your soul . Treat everyone you meet like god in drag . We’re all just walking each other home .

Not a bad system

But better done alone, out in nature, with proper provisions and undisturbed on a comfortable afternoon. I recommend incorporating Pranayama breathing technique, 4:4:8 interval and focusing on the sky at dusk.

very enlightening

I enjoyed it dearly. As a psychonaut myself, already knowing a lot about the psychedelic realms, it still managed to teach me a lot of things and made me reflect of some of the things i already knew. 10/10 deffinitly recommend.

What a journey

I have never tried pshychedelic and i must say that this guide is a really an eye opener on the preparation of such experience and does provide extremely useful insights.. probably best to also obtain a hard copy of this book.

Un punto de apoyo firme y seguro

Recomendado para cualquier persona en el proceso de autoconocimiento. Puede ser usado para la meditación natural o una meditación profunda asistida por plantas. 5/5

Interesting

its a harder read as far as understanding the background of eastern philosophy behind it. definitely some good guidelines

Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.

A fantastic introduction to the psychedelic experience. Vital for any person seeking to experience a psychedelic experience and eve more vital for those hoping to trip sit the inexperienced.

I ended up buying a physical copy for easy reference and reading in the event of hosting a psychedelic experience.

This is a good tool to have.

Listening to this is good but having the book to reference is a good thing to have on hand. That is if you intend to do or attempt things mentioned in this book.

Must read for any psychonaut !

Amazing information based on studies and experience.
The Narrator is awesome.

Will help obtain ego death and enlightenment
