Are language and consciousness co-evolving? Can psychedelic
experience cast light on this topic? In the Western world, we stand
at the dawn of the psychedelic age with advances in neuroscience; a
proliferation of new psychoactive substances, both legal and
illegal; the anthropology of ayahuasca use; and new discoveries in
ethnobotany. From scientific papers to the individual trip reports
on the Vaults of Erowid and the life work of Terence McKenna,
Alexander and Ann Shulgin, and Stanislav Grof, we are converging on
new knowledge of the mind and how to shift its functioning for
therapeutic, spiritual, problem-solving, artistic and/or
recreational purposes. In our culture, pychonautics, the practices
of individuals and small groups using techniques such as
meditation, shamanic ritual, ecstatic dance and substances such as
LSD and psilocybin for personal exploration, is a field of action
and thought in its infancy. The use of psychonautic practice as a
site of research and a method of knowledge production is central to
this work, the first in-depth book focusing on psychedelics,
consciousness, and language.
