Entheogens and the Development of Culture makes the radical proposition that mind-altering substances have played a major part not only in cultural development but also in human brain development. Researchers suggest that we have purposely enhanced receptor sites in the brain, especially those for dopamine and serotonin, through the use of plants and fungi over a long period of time. The trade-off for lowered functioning and potential drug abuse has been more creative thinking--or a leap in consciousness. Experiments in entheogen use led to the development of primitive medicine, in which certain mind-altering plants and fungi were imbibed to still fatigue, pain, or depression, while others were taken to promote hunger and libido. Our ancestors selected for our neural hardware, and our propensity for seeking altered forms of consciousness as a survival strategy may be intimately bound to our decision-making processes going back to the dawn of time.Fourteen essays by a wide range of contributors—including founding president of the American Anthropological Association’s Anthropology of Religion section Michael Winkelman, PhD; Carl A. P. Ruck, PhD, Boston University professor of classics and an authority on the ecstatic rituals of the god Dionysus; and world-renowned botanist Dr. Gaston Guzma, member of the Colombian National Academy of Sciences and expert on hallucinogenic mushrooms—demonstrate that altering consciousness continues to be an important part of human experience today. Anthropologists, cultural historians, and anyone interested in the effects of mind-altering substances on the human mind and soul will find this book deeply informative and inspiring.

This fascinating book discusses the role played by psychoactive mushrooms in the religious rituals of ancient Greece, Eurasia, and Mesoamerica. R. Gordon Wasson, an internationally known ethnomycologist who was one of the first to investigate how these mushrooms were venerated and employed by different native peoples, here joins with three other scholars to discuss the evidence for his discoveries about these fungi, which he has called entheogens, or "god generated within."

Hardcover book exploring entheogens and their poetic expressions.

Initially released in 2009, Being Human was Martin Ball's first book exploring the Entheological Paradigm, his radical take on the nondual nature of reality and the role that entheogens and psychedelics can play in revolutionizing humanity's understanding of itself and its place in the cosmos. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of its publication, this new edition of Being Human is graced with 33 full-color original pieces of stunning fractal art as created by the author. Written as a guidebook to self-understanding and personal transformation, Being Human plumbs the depths of what it means to be human, the nature of identity, and the nondual, unitary nature of reality. The information in this relatively short book is presented matter-of-factly with concise, plain language, making the concepts and practices easily accessible and free from metaphysical speculation and mystification. Entheogens, as energetic tools, are explored as an unsurpassed means to override the persistent energetic structures of the human ego and its sense of separation, revealing the unitary nature of being and consciousness found at the core of all identity and conscious experience. A primary theme that is explored is that awakening to nonduality is not so much a spiritual issue as it is an energetic one, and that when the right energetic tools are applied, consistent and repeatable results can be obtained by anyone, regardless of belief system, culture, or religious or spiritual identity. Stimulating, challenging, provocative, and bold, the central idea of the book is summed up nicely by one of the concluding affirmations of the book: “Guess what? You are God – Now get over it!” Whether you’re reading Ball’s work for the first time, or re-reading this commemorative edition to enjoy the art, you’re sure to find Being Human a book that will leave you thinking, and just might inspire you to experience the ideas contained within directly for yourself within your own infinite being.

A book in two parts, with, firstly, reminiscences, rants, and anarchist (in)activism in New York from circa 1984 onwards old stalwarts and comrades of Emma Goldman, the Libertarian Book Club and Anarchist Forums, the Autonomedia Collective, the John Henry Mackay Society, religion, entheogens, Luddism, hoodoo, paleolithic reactionaries and future primitivism.... Deep gossip, demonic power, tiny anarchies, the end of the world and theories of everything. Converted to anarchism by Krazy Kat comics at age 13, Peter Lamborn Wilson has devoted his political energies (such as they be) to its noble ideals and, as Nietzsche says, there are some causes one does not desert if only because it would give one s enemies too much satisfaction. Hope against hope.... Thirty years of Armed Nostalgia, Escapism, Ontological Anarchy and the Temporary Autonomous Zone. The latter half of this volume consists of essays on Symbolisme, alchemy and anarchism in the arts, with commentaries on William Morris, Walter Crane, Odilon Redon, Max Klinger, Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Signac, Félix Fénéon, Rube Goldberg, Paul Gauguin, Frantisek Kupka, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys, George Herriman, and many others.

What is Visionary Art? The sources of the visionary experience are many and varied: dreams, trance, madness, meditation, entheogens... This little book examines them all, pursuing both Visions of Light and Visions of Darkness. Through the art and writings of Ernst Fuchs, H. R. Giger, Mati Klarwein, Robert Venosa, Johfra, De Es, Alex Grey and more, this new and unusual movement in art is put into proper perspective. "An intelligent analysis of the worldwide phenomena."  – Alex Grey "Concise as an instrument for presenting the current state and dimension of the visionary phenomenon."  – De Es FROM THE BOOK: "The visual language is a lost language, like cyphers undecyphered. But it underlies all that we dream each night. It invisibly appears whenever the images of vision flow in a meaningful way. It emerges from trance, contemplation, myth and madness. This ancient image-language, otherwise forgotten, is now being spoken once more..."
