About this listen
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.

Very impactful read!
One year ago I had a very challenging experience with psilocybin and since then I have been troubled with trying to reconcile and make sense of the that experience. This book was greatly instrumental in helping me liberate and make sense of what that trip was trying to show me. So on a very personal level I feel that this book greatly contributed to my process of moving on and integrating the lessons presented to me that day. For anyone looking for a meaningful account of the psychedelic experience and how to approach it, this is defiently one of several essential reads.

Holds up
The book itself is good - insightful and interesting. Probably not for someone with only a passing interest or no experience with psychedelics. The scripts at the end are nice. The introduction, however, is bewildering. It’s like Pinchbeck either didn’t read the book before writing his intro, or really didn’t understand it or the authors at all. He makes several points that are just false. I couldn’t help wonder why they would pick him to write an intro that is largely critical of the book and movement. Skip the intro, the book is worth a listen.
