We welcome Are Thoresen, a veterinarian, acupuncturist, and scholar of anthroposophy. Are is also recognized as an expert in spirit entities and demonic possession, with a particular focus on their role in illness and healing.

Dr. Andrew Gallimore joins us on the show to talk about extended-state DMT, the structure of reality, hyperdimensional alien intelligences, and the implications of dying while tripping DMT.

I recorded several short, on location interviews during my travel through Europe in the summer of 2018. Most of them we shot at OZORA FESTIVAL, in Hungary. I had the amazing opportunity to be surrounded by the amazing psychedelic thinkers and researchers and I took that opportunity to ask them some questions. Three questions in fact.

Jennifer Dumpert joins us on the show today to offer an introductory primer on the hows and whys of liminal dreaming, the differences between liminal dreaming and other forms of dreaming, as well as the cross-applicable skillsets shared between dream-tripping and psychedelics.

Bruce Sanguin is not an armchair advocate for this work, but a man that has learned from his own healing with psychedelic medicines. Along with a structural discussion on his model for healing childhood wounds and the potential of psychedelic therapy to help to process along, he shares his personal story of how his childhood wounds led him to the Church, how healing them required leaving that church behind, and how psychedelics help him learn to love again.

I was interviewed for ‘Watters’ World’, a Republican news/comedy interview show on FOX. Jesse Watters, the host, interviewed me to discuss the decriminalization of psilocybin in Denver, as well as decriminalization and psilocybin in general. Here’s the story.

Samantha Retrosi is on the show to talk to us about healing with ayahuasca –what that means, how it happens – and the importance of understanding that healing and illness go well beyond the individual and extend into relationships, society, and politics.

Kevin Tucker is on the show to talk to us about the history of resource extraction from the Amazon, the devastation it wrecked on the indigenous people of the Amazon, and how he sees that history of extraction alive in the present in the form of the spiritual extractivism around ayahuasca, with the murder of Arévalo as an example.

Salvia, apparently, is an underexplored wonder plant that has not only been misused and misappropriated but highly misunderstood. Thankfully, we have the knowledgeable and experienced contributions of Christopher Solomon to help us cast out those misunderstandings and enter us into the beautiful world Salvia Divinorum has to offer.

Psychedelics can provide us experiences that shift our conception of self and demand meaningful alterations of lifestyle and behaviour, and this impact can and does contribute to more ecologically mindful choices.

Interdimensional DMT alien communication? Sounds wild, yeah? It is, but it might also warrant some serious considerations form us as people of psychedelic culture.

Deb Dana, LSCW is on the show to tell us all about Polyvagal theory and the explanatory power it has for how and why we are the way we are in the world and with each other in a psychological, neurobiological, sociological, but also practical way. Polyvagal theory is easily one of the most valuable things I have learned about in my life and I am very excited to share it with you.

Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris heads the Psychedelic Research Group within the Centre for Psychiatry at Imperial College London. He joins us on Adventures Through The Mind to talk about the Entropic Brain (and mind) theory, complexity vs. order, the disproportionate representation of ‘ego’ consciousness in modern civilisation and its impacts on the natural world, confirmation biases and misreporting in psychedelic science and, of course, how psychedelics work in the brain.

Tom and Sheri Eckert join us to talk about their initiative to legalize Psilocybin services in Oregon (#PSI2020).

I have been exploring the ‘Paul Stamets Nootropic Vitamin Complex, Stacking Formula For Epigenetic Neurogenesis’ for about 3 months. It contains three ingredients, including psilocybin mushrooms.

My thoughts on the ‘reality’ of psychedelic entities, plant spirits, and the potentials of spiritual bypassing in psychedelic work.

I admit that, quite often, I feel like a bit of a failure when being interviewed. What I mean by this is that I get…

In this (on-location) interview, Darren Springer talks about the ancient history of pan-African psychedelic use and travels forwards through time along the wings of mythology until the myths dissolve into the harsh reality of slavery, racism, and neighbourhoods infused with violence. It is grounded in this reality that Darren shares with us the potential of psychedelics (psilocybin mushrooms in particular) for the healing of historical trauma and the revitalization of black communities in the UK.

This is a transcript of the interview featured in episode 90 of Adventures Through The Mind podcast.
