How psilocybin mushrooms facilitate a direct link to the wisdom of
Nature and the meaning of life
- Examines the neurochemistry underlying the visionary psilocybin
experience
- Explains how sacred mushrooms help restore our connection to the
natural intelligence of Nature
- Reviews the research on psilocybin's ability to dispel anxiety in
the terminally ill and its helpful effects on obsessive-compulsive
disorder
It has been more than 50 years since sacred mushrooms were plucked
from the shamanic backwaters of Mexico and presented to the modern
world by R. Gordon Wasson. After sparking the psychedelic era of
the 1960s, however, the divine mushroom returned underground from
whence it mysteriously originated. Yet today, the mushroom's
extraordinary influence is once again being felt by large numbers
of people, due to the discovery of hundreds of wild psilocybin
species growing across the globe.
In "The Psilocybin Solution," Simon G. Powell traces the history
of the sacred psilocybin mushroom and discusses the shamanic
visionary effects it can induce. Detailing how psilocybin acts as a
profound enhancer of consciousness and reviewing the research
performed by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic
Studies (MAPS), Johns Hopkins University, and the Heffter Research
Institute on psilocybin's ability to dispel anxiety in the
terminally ill and its helpful effects on obsessive-compulsive
disorder, he examines the neurochemistry, psychology, and
spirituality underlying the visionary psilocybin experience,
revealing the interface where physical brain and conscious mind
meet. Showing that the existence of life and the functioning of
mind are the result of a naturally intelligent, self-organizing
Universe, he explains how sacred mushrooms provide a direct link to
the wisdom of Nature and the meaning of life.
A visionary guide to safely using psilocybin mushrooms to tap in to
the wisdom of Nature and reconnect humanity to the biosphere
- Explores the ecopsychological effects of wild psychedelic
mushrooms, including enhanced biophilia, expanded awareness,
eco-shamanic encounters, and access to the ancient wisdom that
binds all life on Earth
- Examines the most recent scientific studies on psilocybin in the
U.S. and U.K.
- Details the author's work to keep the use of psilocybin mushrooms
legal in the U.K. and shows that an irrational rejection of
scientific evidence underlies the harsh war against psychedelic
states of consciousness
Psilocybin, the active ingredient found in psychedelic mushrooms,
is an invaluable natural resource for spiritually revivifying the
human psyche and reconnecting us to the biosphere and the vast
intelligence of Nature. Interweaving the most recent scientific
studies in the United States and Britain, more than 25 years of
sacred mushroom exploration, and behind-the-scenes details on the
political wars against psychedelics, Simon G. Powell offers a guide
to safely navigating and maximizing the healing and spiritual
potential of psilocybin.
Powell explores the ecopsychological effects of wild psychedelic
mushrooms, including enhanced biophilia, expanded awareness,
mystical visions, and eco-shamanic encounters. He reveals how the
beings and otherworldly teachers common in psilocybin experiences
are actually emissaries from our higher consciousness that emerge
when the floodgates of perception have been opened. He shares vivid
descriptions from many of his own psilocybin journeys and shows how
the mushroom offers a path of return to the ancient wisdom binding
all life on Earth, a wisdom conveyed through tutorial visions and
higher modes of perception. Illustrating psilocybin's healthful
properties, now acknowledged by mainstream science, Powell
describes his activism in the fight to keep psilocybin mushroom use
legal in the U.K. and shows that an irrational rejection of
scientific evidence underlies the harsh war against psychedelic
states of consciousness.
Laying the groundwork for a new relationship with our biosphere,
Powell shows how the Earth's psychedelic medicines can reconnect us
to the spirituality and wisdom of Nature and bring the human race
back from the brink of ecological and existential disaster.
