Nearly each tradition all through historical past has used chemical compounds that alter consciousness for non secular exploration. In the twentieth century these medication caught the consideration of scientists. Psychedelics, as they had been named, proved efficient at treating intractable sicknesses like despair and habit. And they grew to become a software for finding out the thoughts, opening “the doors of perception,” as Aldous Huxley wrote. But these doorways slammed shut when President Nixon declared psychedelics harmful and medically ineffective. Join scientists and “psychonauts” who are actually selecting up the place analysis left off 50 years in the past, experimenting with LSD, psilocybin, DMT and different psychedelics to heal—and reveal—the thoughts.
The Big Ideas Series is supported partially by the John Templeton Foundation.
