Exploring some of my current thoughts on the Ego Death meme present in psychedelic culture and its relationship to actually dying.

I feel myself getting increasingly more articulate and creative with each interview I give. This one represents that area of growth well. Enjoy.

James Oroc’s first book, Tryptamine Palace, is a quintessential read for those interested in psychedelic philosophy. It presents his theories on reality, God, quantum mechanics and 5-MeO-DMT that are present in Tryptamine Palace. In this interview, we scratch the surface of those theories but advance beyond the Tryptamine Palace and explore the topics of his most recent book, The New Psychedelic Revolution — the rich history of visionary art, modern festival culture, the rising popularity of 5-MeO-DMT, and his psychedelic philosophies on the nature of mind.

Comparing LSD to psilocybin is incredibly common, and understandably so. The subjective effects of these two molecules are remarkably similar in some ways, but they are also vastly different in many other ways.

Selen Atasoy’s current research focuses on exploring brain dynamics in consciousness, sleep, meditation, psychedelic states as well as in psychiatric disorders by analysing fMRI and MEG data within the mathematical framework of harmonic waves– a phenomenon ubiquitous in nature.
