Ayahuasca and Other Psychedelics - AS A PORTAL TO THE PARANORMAL

Add Review
Over the last decades there has been a massive growth in interest in the Amazonian visionary plant medicine ayahuasca around the world. This global phenomenon is chronicled in the new book, When Plants Dream, by Daniel Pinchbeck and Sophia Rokhlin. A vast number of anecdotal accounts link ayahuasca shamanism to psychic and paranormal experiences, ranging from spontaneous healing to telepathy to encounters with the spirits of the dead and otherworldly entities. What do these accounts suggest about the relationship between ayahuasca and other psychedelics - described as "nonspecific psychic amplifiers" - and psychic phenomena? How could this be investigated more deeply in the future? Daniel Pinchbeck is the bestselling author of Breaking Open the Head and 2012: The Return of the Quetzalcoatl. He co-founded the web magazine Reality Sandwich and the online platform Evolver.net. His essays and articles have appeared in a vast range of publications, including The New York Times, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and ArtForum, and he has been a columnist for Dazed & Confused.

College of Psychic Studies
HOST:
College of Psychic Studies - The College was founded in 1884 by a group of eminent scholars and scientists. Its purpose was to facilitate formal investigation into the psychic and mediumistic phenomena that were such a topic of debate in the Victorian era. With great courage, this group of distinguished people, some notable in science, others from within the ranks of the Anglican clergy, defied the prevailing canons of respectability in order to proclaim to a world of increasing materialism that human personality survives bodily death and that this is capable of demonstration.
