D. Fadiman. Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide (paper book)

James Fadiman, PhD, is one of the founders of the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology. Known for research on microdosing psychedelics. Author of a number of books, including textbooks and professional publications.

In this book, J. Fadiman, one of the pioneers in research on the use of psychedelic drugs for therapy, self-exploration, spiritual exploration, and creative pursuits, provides an invaluable guide to safe and productive sessions.

The author wrote the book on the basis of more than 40 years of his own experience in this field, trying to present all its sacraments in an intelligible and clear language. As a result, this guide is a breath of fresh air, dispelling all the misinformation that has been poured into the minds of people for decades by sensationalist journalists and based on anti-drug intimidation. There is simply no better time for The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide to appear.

This event well coincided with the resurgence of interest in the study of psychedelic substances, which is increasingly permeated by the global society. The information provided by the book will be useful not only to hundreds of thousands of people who are passionate about independent experiments, but also to a new generation of psychedelic researchers.

It is impossible to write an annotation for this book better than the author himself did. So just check it out.

“Everyone must decide for himself whether it is worth introducing into his body something that affects the mind, whether it be micrograms of chemistry, milligrams of mushrooms, ounces of alcohol or smoke from burning tobacco. Getting more awareness is your birthright. Denying anyone access to any facet of reality in the name of religion, science, medicine, or law does not benefit either the individual or society as a whole. Whenever opportunities for self-realization are suppressed or at risk of being lost, there is a moral imperative to protect and restore them. This book was written so that the accumulated knowledge, experience and techniques for increasing awareness do not sink into oblivion.

The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide describes well-researched ways of taking psychedelic substances, both for spiritual advancement, healing, self-knowledge, and psychotherapy, as well as to aid in scientific research and invention. It also included the first report on a new use: to improve the overall functioning of the body.

The book contains guides for spiritual and scientific sessions, which will be useful both for those who have already taken such substances for pleasure, insight or gaining wisdom, and for those who do not yet have such an experience. If the book helps you make a more thoughtful decision, then it has fulfilled its purpose. If it protects you from some foolish acts, then it can be considered invaluable.

For the widest range of readers.
