∂an Posted April 9, 2012 I'm sure someone will point out there are many similar threads around, but no harm in starting a fresh one. I thought Doors of Perception was rather dull, but I guess for a book published in 1954 it was quite progressive. Some good/interesting books I have read: The Hashish Eater - Fitz Hugh Ludlow Confessions of an English Opium Eater - Thomas De Quincey Tryptamine Palace - James Oroc Breaking Open the Head - Daniel Pinchbeck Shamanism and Tantra in the Himalayas - Christian Rätsch Supernatural - Graham Hancock The Sacred Mushroom and The Cross - John Allegro Aya - Rak Razaam True Hallucinations - Terence McKenna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Crack_Fox Posted April 9, 2012 I found the doors relevant and profound in such a simple way, ripe with meaning in many plaes, lacking in others. I'll have to check those out:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whitewind Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I spent forever listening to Terence Mckenna. He's still my favourite when it comes to listening to anyone else's experiences. True Hallucinations is a pretty cool read, I have that as audio too which makes it fun whilst walking through the dunes. Must add that Dale Pendell is a fascinating read, it's so strange how different a man can sound. His books are like magic.

Marcel Posted April 9, 2012 I second Dale Pendell, in particular the Pharmako series. He's a protege of Gary Snyder, a vigorous thinker, doesn't adopt all the tired old cliches of psychedelic culture and he's a poet up there with Herbert and Ashbury. A little more tangental to mainstream psychedelia, but interesting nonetheless, is ecofeminist Starhawk. Great perspectives on contemporary feminism in a technocratic capitalist world, with a little Pagan/Wiccan spirituality thrown in to please my hippie side. And the greatest psychedelic philosopher that psychedelia has no interest in: Heidegger. It's highly unlikely that Heidegger had any first hand knowledge of psychedelics (though there is a connection with Ernst Junger, and in turn, Hoffman) but there is no thinker who studies the outer reaches of language, space and time with such clarity, originality and relentless force. I've never seen The Tryptamine Realm and its thought processes described so accurately. Required reading for any courageous psychonauts out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
