    About this audiobook

    “It is a book for the living as well as for the dying.”—Lama Govinda We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive ’60s—that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony—is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today’s preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective, inclusive (and overtly tripped-out) cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man. The Psychedelic Experience, created in the movement’s early years 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. In this wholly unique book, the authors provide an interpretation of an ancient sacred manuscript, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, from a psychedelic perspective. The Psychedelic Experience describes their discoveries in broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of Tibetan meditation techniques and psychotropic substances. As sacred as the text it reflects, The Psychedelic Experience is a guidebook to the wilderness of mind and an indispensable resource from the founding fathers of psychedelia.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a great and insightful book regarding the psychedelic experience and Tibetan Buddhism. It provides a good introduction to the text and offers practical tips for maintaining the 'clear light' state. While there are some disappointing sections and an overemphasis on ego dissolution, overall it is a wonderful guide for those in search of understanding the workings behind the veil."

      Though admittedly I have mixed opinions about Leary (especially with regards to scientific process) and indeed the book had disappointing sections. Overall, especially when familiar with the "clear light" state, I found the book gives good practical tips that promise to maintain it longer.

      This is a very interesting guide for those in search of understanding.
      It confirms my personal travels.
      I had one experience of coming out of the first bardo.
      Also several times I went into the second bardo and came out into the light.
      It is very interesting to talk to someone who has had experiences of this level.

      There's a good introduction to the text that is fairly critical, and I think it's good to start off with that context. Mostly an over emphasis on ego dissolution, and some of the attempts to relate the psychedelic experience to bardo states is an overreach.
