Figured you all might be interested in this conversation I had with Dr. Bill Richards, a clinical psychologist at Johns Hopkins and author of the book Sacred Knowledge. It was an amazing conversation if I say so myself :)

i've tried listening to some non distracting Nature Ambience while reading lately (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0MvXOKmo5I94EBekEu5X5Q?si=ef2f18f4738f4c85&nd=1&dlsi=e636181fbfcb4487) and I like it so far. Any similar experiences?

Idk what y’all think of self-promotion in this sub but I just self-published my first book, a memoir about my journey through psychedelics, selling acid for three years, and the music festival scene. I worked on this for five years, have a bachelors in Literature, and went to Grad school for Book Publishing. I had an editor, multiple beta readers and worked with a graphic designer to create the book cover.

I self-published not because of the lack of quality but because of the position traditional publishing industry is in right now and my desire to own all the rights and have creative control. I really do think self-publishing is going to be the future of publishing. The most difficult part is marketing and getting the word out and onto bookshelves. It would mean a lot if you could take the time and see if this is something you’d be interested in reading. Thanks in advance fellow psychonauts.

Title: Confusions and Confessions by an Oklahoma Psychonaut by ÆON

Link in the comments

Hey all. I’m not sure if one exists - but does anyone know of a book full of trip reports? I really enjoy hearing from a variety of people about their experiences, as opposed to a book written by someone who shares their own single perspective.

Like if I could create the perfect book, it would be called ‘Heroic Doses - Tales From the Other Side’ or something like that.

Hey id love to have some open discussion on spirituality and meaning of life if anyone is interested

I invite you to follow my posts in r/Psychonaut id like some of your input and k also see you are doing book discussions it’s be interesting for all of us to have a discussion.

So I would love to talk about what I have seen and done in my life. I had a full ride to college, 98 on the ASVAB, I am not easily tricked. However I have a very interesting theory on life that I believe only true Psychonauts can understand. So message me, I want a better future for my kids kid. Safe travels catch you on the spirit side.

The complete version of The Drug Users Bible has now been published: and this definitely is the final cut. I’m getting too old for the constant drug touring, and the ride cannot go on for ever.

For this edition I added an extra 25 psychoactives, bringing the total to 182. These were:

• 3-MMC
• a-PHP
• Carisoprodol
• Zopiclone
• Sentia
• 3-HO-PCP
• Snus
• 5-MeO-DMT
• Modafinil
• Sananga
• Ginseng
• Green Tea
• Horny Goat Weed
• Yerba Mate
• Cacao
• DOM
• Chamomile
• TMA
• Hops
• Mullein
• Saffron
• 5-HTP
• Mad Honey
• Essential Oils
• 1cP-LSD

Some of these were definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel but I had to cover them for some sort of completeness (at least in terms of common perception).

Various sections were also substantially expanded, some new segments were added, and a significant number of previous reports were extended/improved or added to. The new page count is 636, making it literally a weighty tome.

More information is available on the book’s website or on Amazon.

Finally, my 12 year journey has ended, but it isn’t the end of the road. I will continue to ‘research’, to post on parts of social media, and attempt to disseminate harm reduction information wherever and whenever I can. You haven’t heard the last of me.

Regarding the book, I hope it continues to be a useful resource in preventing tragedy, both now and long after I have shuffled off this mortal coil.

Finally, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions or post comments, or most of all, if you ever need help and you think I can assist, drop me a private message. Stay safe.

"[Deans] philosophy is the sickest, most paralyzing and most destructive thing that has ever originated from the brain of man."

"[Dean] lay waste to everything in its path... [It is ] a systematic work of destruction and demoralization... In the end it became nothing but an act of sacrilege.

I’d like to start a list of fiction that relates to psychedelics (ex Jitterbug Perfume). It’s fun to have a psychedelic bent to my recreational reading but it’s hard to find novels like that.

Hello fellow psychonauts! I wrote a short story as a fun side project about a couple of friends who trip together. All I'll say is that it involves a rock concert and a good ol' acid bonding experience where things don't go quite according to plan...

I would love to share my writing and solicit any feedback from the community. As an aspiring author, it's extremely valuable for me to get others' perspective on what I write, especially from a group that can probably relate to some of this story!

Please feel free to comment or DM me your thoughts, and of course, I hope you find some entertainment through this short-ish read:

As Big Pharma plans the introduction of Entheogens/Psychedelics to treat mental illness, the current research has matched the results from previous studies and besides the positive therapeutic uses, the implications of the phenomenon could revolutionize the way we understand existence itself.

After decades of suppression current research on Entheogens is underway due to it’s potential aid in mental illness. As some Universities and firms start their first official trials, this world of ‘Entheogen Mythology’ will start to be integrated to our rigorous ‘objective’ world.

On the verge of UFO disclosure questions about the nature of Non-Human Intelligences abound, the current literature on it often comes as fringe, strange and outright scary but as the research becomes more formal and includes themes of spiritual development, more positive conclusions can be gathered.

Some of these experiences can be as enlightening as the positive ones, and not trying to understand them can be counter-productive to the research, some experiencers react to them with dogma, some simply do not have an answer. It is possible that it could all fit the larger scheme, in a rational way.

Hey everyone, I don't think Leary and Wilson's work on the 8 Circuit model gets enough love. I created a talk on how it can be used as a form of yoga: 8 Circuit Yoga. You could call it a passion project. The talk makes mention of many of our favs Leary, Wilson, PKD, Watts, McKenna, Grof, and more. Perhaps someone here will find it interesting!

This is an intro-video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_HISbdzZ_U&list=PLffhizQfqcpQ6I3wR0FyTJfMf8yuYHI9M

Here's the full lecture playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLffhizQfqcpTiy12gAxP0ewTpWwGV7Pc4

On the channel there are a lot of short clips on different subjects culled from the talk. There's a podcast version on several popular platforms too. Hope someone finds it interesting, and it was OK to post about it here. Wishing you all the best.
