Blow Your Mind: The Scientist and the Shaman
by Robert Lamb | December 26, 2012
Inspired in large part by Emory University’s “For I am the Black Jaguar” exhibit (get the book here), we explore some of the common ground between psychedelically-fueled spirituality and scientific research into the effects and nature of psychedelic experience.
Here’s what we have for you…
Did Ebenezer Scrooge take a mountain of DMT?
by Robert Lamb | December 7, 2012
Christmas is magic.
Christmas is transformative.
And since we’re dropping two episodes on the psychedelics, science and shamanism the week of Dec. 25, I keep wondering if everyone’s favorite holiday curmudgeon didn’t smoke DMT on that fateful Christmas Eve.
Because what happens in “A Christmas Carol?”
Why, a self-centered old miser barricades himself in an empty house and experiences a ghostly visitation from a dead friend. Next, three outlandish spirit entities arrive and take him on a mind-rending journey through time and space.
At the end of that journey, Scrooge re-engages the world with a profoundly increased sense of openness — which brings us to DMT.
When users take DMT they experience vivid hallucinations. Some users even believe they have communicated with nonhuman creatures while on DMT — but why? Tune in to find out why they believe this — and why some scientists are listening.
