Listen "What are Psychedelics?"

Episode Synopsis

Psychedelics confront us directly with the Mystery, raising deep questions regarding who we are, the nature of reality, and that cosmic itch of what the hell is going on anyways! Naturally, I find these compounds endlessly fascinating for they facilitate deep explorations into one's inner psychological world and how we cognize everything. I have personally found my relationships with the world and myself radically improved as a result of working with such substances, so in an evangelical manner I thought I would share the word here with this episode! Enjoy.
