“Hallucinogenic Plants was a part of a series of books and field guides published in the seventies under the name Golden Guides. Hallucinogenic plants was written by Richard Evans Schultes – a founder of modern ethnobotany. The book is a good intro to psychedelics that has been much further explored since it was published, but I have chosen to post it here because of it’s usability, rich illustrations (by Elmer W. Smith) and the fact that Richard Evans Schultes wrote it.”

“Shamanism goes far beyond a primarily self-concerned transcendence of ordinary reality. It is transcendence for a broader purpose, the helping of humankind. The enlightenment of shamanism is the ability to light up what others perceive as darkness, and thereby to see and to journey on behalf of a humanity that is perilously close to losing its spiritual connectedness with all its relatives, the plants and animals of this good Earth. We are tearing the earth to pieces, we are spewing out toxins – and the entire planet is reacting. Psychedelics are going to play a major role in helping people to become aware of what is really happening.”

I wonder have you read ‘DMT the spirit molecule’ ???
I know of it, but I haven’t read it. I disagree with a lot of its ideas, like the pineal gland being the cause of spiritual, extraterrestrial, supernatural, etc. experiences. Also, thanks for the follow! 🙂
Yes I disagree with that part of the book also. It’s only interesting really because of the description of experiences of the participants. There’s also a documentary called ‘Metamorphosis’ which tells the tales of ahyuasca experience from teh Peruvian jungle. Quite good!
Ah, I gotcha. I’ll definitely check out Metamorphosis, sounds like it’ll be a good (and interesting) watch. 🙂
