From the best-selling author of "Brainchild" and "Mavericks of the
Mind", comes a spellbinding journey into madness, more hellishly
horrifying than your worst nightmares, yet more deliciously
satisfying than your wildest dreams. "Virus" is a science-fantasy
thriller promising to completely splatter your brain and thoroughly
melt your mind.
In a lucid dream, you "awaken" within your dream and realize you
are dreaming. With this extraordinary sense of awakening comes a
clear perception of the continuity of self between waking and
sleeping and the ability to significantly influence what happens
within the dream, giving you the opportunity to genuinely
experience anything without physical or social consequences. In
this way, lucid dreaming offers therapeutic opportunities for
fantasy fulfillment, fear confrontation, and releasing the trauma
of past experiences. With development and practice, lucid dreaming
can provide a powerful path to greater awareness, heightened
creativity, spiritual awakening, and communication with the vast
interconnected web of cosmic consciousness.
For as long as humanity has existed, we have used psychedelics to
raise our levels of consciousness and seek healing-first in the
form of visionary plants such as cannabis and now with the addition
of human-created psychedelics such as LSD and MDMA. These
substances have inspired spiritual awakenings, artistic and
literary works, technological and scientific innovation and even
political revolutions. But what does the future hold for
humanity-and can psychedelics help take us there? Sharing insights
from his discussions with luminaries such as Terence McKenna, Edgar
Mitchell, Candace Pert, Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, Jerry Garcia,
Albert Hofmann, Annie Sprinkle and Rupert Sheldrake, author, David
Jay Brown, explores the revelations brought about through his
psychedelic experiences and his work with visionaries of the
psychedelic and scientific communities. He investigates the role of
psychedelics in lucid dreaming, time travel, sex and pleasure
enhancement, morphic field theory, the survival of consciousness
after death, encounters with nonhuman beings and the interface
between science and spirituality. Examining the ability of
psychedelic drugs to incite creativity, neurogenesis and the
evolution of consciousness, he explains that they are messengers
from the plant world designed to help elevate our awareness and
sense of interconnectedness. Revealing not only what psychedelics
can teach us about ourselves and the world around us, Brown, also,
shows how they are preparing humanity for a future of enlightened
minds and worlds beyond our solar system. * Shares insights from

An exploration of the role that dreaming, psychedelic experiences,
and mystical visions play in visionary art Since early humans first
painted from their mystic eye onto cave walls, artists have sought
to share their sacred visions with the world. Created in every
medium, from oil painting and sculpture to contemporary digital
modeling, these visionary works of art give those who experience
them a chance to "see the unseen," realize wider modes of
perception, and discover spiritual and mystical realms. In this
full-color illustrated book, David Jay Brown and Rebecca Ann Hill
examine the work and inspirations of eighteen of today's leading
female visionary artists, including Josephine Wall, Allyson Grey,
Amanda Sage, Martina Hoffmann, Penny Slinger, and Carolyn Mary
Kleefeld. They explore the creative process and the role that
dreaming, psychedelic experiences, sexuality, and divine guidance
play in the work of these women, alongside full-color examples of
their art. Showing how visionary art often contains an abundance of
feminine energy, helping us to heal ourselves and see that we are
all connected, the authors explore with each artist what it is
about being a woman that has most influenced their artwork.
