James Fadiman — PhD, a co‑founder of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Known for research on psychedelic microdosing. Author of numerous books, including textbooks and professional works.
In this book, J. Fadiman, one of the pioneers in researching the therapeutic, self‑exploratory, spiritual, and creative uses of psychedelic substances, has compiled an invaluable guide for safe and productive sessions.
The author wrote the book based on more than 40 years of his own experience in the field, striving to present its mysteries in a clear and accessible language. As a result, this guide is a breath of fresh air that dispels the misinformation poured into the public mind for decades by sensation‑seeking journalists and fear‑based anti‑drug propaganda. There could not be a better time for the publication of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide.
Its release coincides with a renewed global interest in psychedelic research. The information offered in the book will be useful not only to the hundreds of thousands of people engaged in independent experimentation but also to a new generation of psychedelic researchers.
No annotation could be written better than the author’s own, so simply read it:
“Each person must decide for themselves whether to introduce into their body anything that affects the mind — whether micrograms of chemistry, milligrams of mushrooms, ounces of alcohol, or the smoke of burning tobacco. Gaining greater awareness is your birthright. Denying anyone access to any facet of reality in the name of religion, science, medicine, or law does no good for the individual or for society as a whole. Whenever opportunities for self‑realization are suppressed or face the risk of being lost, a moral imperative arises to protect and restore them. This book was written so that accumulated knowledge, experience, and techniques for enhancing awareness would not be lost to oblivion.
“The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide describes well‑established methods of using psychedelic substances for progress on the spiritual path, healing, self‑knowledge, and psychotherapy, as well as for aiding scientific research and invention. It also includes the first report of a new method of use: aimed at improving overall functioning of the organism.
“The book contains guides for spiritual and scientific sessions that will be useful both to those who have previously taken such substances for pleasure, insight, or wisdom, and to those who have not yet had that experience. If the book helps you make a more informed decision, then it has fully served its purpose. If it protects you from some foolish actions, then it can be considered priceless.”
For a wide general readership.
