Years after the Summer of Love, the promise of the psychoactive
1960s--that deeper self-awareness and greater harmony can be achieved
through reality-bending substances and practices--is close to becoming a
mainstream phenomenon. The signs are everywhere, from a renewed interest
in the therapeutic effects of LSD to the popularity of ayahuasca trips
and the annual spectacle of Burning Man.
The Psychedelic Experience, created by the prophetic shaman-professors
Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), is a
foundational text that serves as a model and a guide for all subsequent
mind-expanding inquiries. Based on a unique interpretation of The
Tibetan Book of the Dead, The Psychedelic Experience remains a vital
testament to broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of
Tibetan meditation techniques and psychotropic substances.
For a new generation seeking the trip of a lifetime, The Psychedelic
Experience is the essential guidebook to getting there.
