“It is a book for the living aswell as for the dying.”-Lama Govinda We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise from the psychoactive ’60s-that deeper self-awareness, attained through reality-bending substances and procedures, will result in greater external harmony-is again attaining a major following. The symptoms are everywhere, through the influence of today’s preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the about The Psychedelic Knowledge: A Manual Predicated on the Tibetan Reserve of the Dead legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective, inclusive (and overtly tripped-out) cultural phenomena just like the spectacle of Burning up Man. The Psychedelic Experience, made in the movement’s early years from the prophetic shaman-professors Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert (Ram memory Dass), can be a foundational text that serves as a model and helpful information for all following mind-expanding inquiries. With this wholly unique book, the authors offer an interpretation of a historical sacred manuscript, The Tibetan Publication of the Deceased, from a psychedelic perspective. The Psychedelic Experience explains their discoveries in broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of Tibetan deep breathing methods and psychotropic chemicals. As sacred as the text it displays, The Psychedelic Knowledge is normally a guidebook towards the wilderness of mind and an essential resource from the founding fathers of psychedelia.
