 The
late great Dr. Timothy Leary was
engaged in a program of experiments with
LSD and other psychedelic drugs at Harvard University until
sensational national publicity unfairly concentrating on student
interest in drugs led to the suspension of the experiments. Since then,
Dr. Leary continued his work on exploring the human consciousness
through the use of psychedelics until his death.
Ralph Metzner's book,
The Psychedelic Connection, uses Dr. Leary is research as
an instructional manual that can be used to help those undergoing a
psychedelic experience on how to achieve enlightenment while traveling
through the various levels of consciousness resulting from the
psychedelic experience.
London researcher Karl Jansen,
M.D., Ph.D., and Member of the
Royal College of Psychiatrists,
is the world's leading expert on
ketamine. He has studied ketamine at every level: from photographing
the receptors to which ketamine binds in the human brain, while earning
his doctorate in clinical pharmacology at the University of Oxford, to
publishing papers on his discovery of the similarities between
ketamine's psychoactive effects and the near-death experience during his
study of medicine in New Zealand. His
book,
Ketamine: Dreams and Realities, describes his research of
psychedelic experiences with ketamine and its connection to the
near-death experience. |
