Join me on an enlightening journey with renowned psychedelic researcher Rick Strassman, M.D. He’ll discuss his new book My Altered States and delve into the depths of altered states of consciousness from birth to early adulthood. Drawing from his extensive journals, Strassman analyzes these profound experiences through the lenses of psychoanalysis, psychopharmacology, Zen Buddhism, and medieval Jewish metaphysics. We explore why these altered states occur, their emotional and psychological impacts, and their significance in our spiritual lives. He'll offer a raw and insightful examination of these extraordinary states' blissful and challenging facets, providing valuable guidance on integrating their lessons into everyday life.
