Publisher's Summary

Can psychedelic drugs help us tackle the biggest problems we face globally? Can they heal the cultural, spiritual, and political wounds we’re wrestling with?

Psychedelics have hit the mainstream as powerful new mental health treatments. But as clinicians explore what these molecules can do for our individual minds, The Bigger Picture goes further to illuminate how psychedelics can help us find new ways to make sense of and come through the crises we face around the world.

Drawing on the latest research, as well as his unique experience as a participant in a ground-breaking clinical trial investigating the potent psychedelic DMT, Alexander Beiner reveals:

- the role of psychedelics in addressing global issues such as global warming, geopolitical instability, and political polarization

- the dark side of the ‘psychedelic renaissance’ and ‘psychedelic capitalism’

- what it takes to elicit huge personal and cultural transformation through psychedelics

Embark on a journey into The Bigger Picture–a new era of science and spirituality with the potential to radically transform our perceptions of ourselves, one another, and our life on this planet.

Pushing out our edges

I will give another review after i have let this book settle, but I have found a “story of us” that really sits well with my sense of the emerging world that we are collectively creating. Sharply intelligent, but warmly expressed in story and anecdotes. A really inspiring exploration into ‘being and becoming’ through utilising the tools and insights of non-ordinary states. Ive never taken sacred medicine, but i have read the books of many journeymen and women and mined them for their gems. This one leaves me feeling greatly enriched.

A Cosmic Consciousness

We each have to find our own way to the cosmic consciousness be it by drugs or religious practices, be it now or tomorrow. There is no other reality or judgement or necessity.
