The Psychedelic Dialogues 04: Chemical Pollution
I sit down with Silvia as she talks about journeying into ancient times to confront past life karma with the Ayahuasca.
The Psychedelic Dialogues 05: Crucified on the Cross of Self-Perfection
I interview Rick Doblin, Ph.D. Founder of psychedelic research group MAPS, talks about his experience with Ibogaine and LSD, in order to confront his own shadows and be more effective as a political activist. Rick also talks on why he set up psychedelic research group MAPS, their work with MDMA, and what psychedelic research has done to expand our ideas of the psyche.

The Psychedelic Dialogues 06: The Role of Psychedelics in Consciousness Expansion
In this episode I talk with Alan Steinfeld, founder of newrealities.com , interviews with teachers of consciousness, spirituality and new science. In this interview what begins as Alan’s humorous retelling of his Ketamine experience, soon becomes a talk on the role of psychedelics in consciousness expansion; and how he believes they deplete our wholeness. Alan had a lot of great insight to share and I hope you enjoy the episode.

A Note on Safety
As we repeatedly stress on HighExistence, psychedelics must be approached with reverence and caution. We believe that in a loving context, psychedelics are powerful medicines with tremendous potential, but there are a number of physical and psychological safety concerns that one should consider before journeying with psychedelics. Please, please do plenty of research, and do not take psychedelics if you have reason to believe that they will not jibe with your personality or particular mental baggage. The Essential Psychedelic Guide on Erowid is an exceptional free resource, and we recommend reading it, especially the section on ‘Psychedelic Safety,’ before ever dabbling in these substances. Take care, and happy tripping. : )
