About this listen

It’s time to investigate the visions. Something’s out there—and it’s waiting to be discovered.

Much of the world's landmass is already known. Deep sea and outer space are beyond most people's reach. It feels like there are fewer places left to discover. Psychedelics, on the other hand, reveal worlds that remain largely obscure. Altered states offer modern, 21st-century audiences boundless opportunities to explore what a human being can experience. In this book, I show you how to become a capable discovery-maker, sample-collecting naturalist, and rational thinker of visionary phenomena.

In the same way European explorers left their shores 500 years ago in search of spice routes by using technologies to get to the other side of the world, you can use psychedelics to get to the other side of ordinary perception and back. Knowing how to gather data, conduct experiments, and make contact with the locals will equip you to chip away at the mystery. You will learn conceptual tools to shape your new mindset, taking an active, rather than passive, role.

If you ever wanted to make more sense of your experiences, now is the time. Find out how you can become part of the Psychedelic Age of Discovery.

This gave me a very different perspective, not just on psychedelics, but on research and the psyche in general. It's well thought out and thought provoking. It's challenged my previous beliefs. Thoroughly enjoyed!
