"I suspect the real breakthroughs in our understanding of consciousness are going to come from an entirely different direction. That direction, controversially, has to do with psychedelics - which, as many of the contributors to The Divine Spark argue, offer spectacular potential for the investigation of the 'hard problem' of consciousness." (from the introduction by Graham Hancock)

Psychedelics: Medicinal? Vital in interspecies communication or communion with the sacred? Helpful for reaching enlightenment or damaging to the brain? In this anthology, edited by best-selling author Graham Hancock, 22 writers illuminate the topic of psychedelics and consciousness like never before.

Travel to South America, the American Southwest, outer space, inner space, and back in time to revisit Pahnke's The Good Friday experiment. Explore the effects of ayahuasca, LSD, and much more.

The contributors to this volume are Mike Alivernia, Russell Brand, David Jay Brown, Paul Devereux, Rick Doblin, Ede Frecska, Alex Grey, Nassim Haramein, Martina Hoffmann, Don Lattin, Luis Eduardo Luna, Dennis McKenna, Thad McKraken, Rak Razam, Gabriel Roberts, Thomas B. Roberts, Gregory Sams, Robert M. Schoch, Mark Seelig, Rick Strassman, Robert Tindall, and, of course, Graham Hancock. A supplemental PDF is included with this audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Das ist es was die Welt braucht (unter anderem)

Eine sehr schöne Mischung von SEHR GUTEN Autoren.
Es fehlt nur:

1. Der Zusammenhang zum Achtsamkeitstraining / ZEN (Buddhismus)

- Was ist Aufmerksamkeit: Wie viele Bewusst- Eins- Zustände kann man differenzieren?
- Ursachen für Bewustseins-Übergänge vs Synchronizität durch Bewusstsein- Übergänge

2. den Elektromagnetischen Methoden um in anderen Bewusstseins ebenen zu identifizieren

- verbreitete Methode, um empirische Daten über die Gehirnströme zu erhalten, sind das EEG-Signal und dessen Frequenzverteilungskurve. Die Die Firma, MindCenter, im Silicon Valley, die in der Welt der Brainwave (EEG) Biofeedback wegweisend wurde:
Durch EEG-Feedback kann man lernen die Gehirnwellen - Frequenzen bewusst zu regulieren. So kann man lernen, seine Gehirnaktivität zu senken und aus dem Beta-Bereich (extern fokussiert - über 13 Zyklen pro Sekunde) nach unten in der entspannten und kreativen Alpha Bereich (8-13 Zyklen pro Sekunde) und sogar in den meditativen und sehr intuitiv Theta-Bereich (4-8 cps.) zu kommen.

Be Convinced

Reviewed in Canada on 16 June 2016

Edited by Graham Hancock after releasing his important book Supernatural. The Divine Spark follows Supernatural in the examination of the role that natural psychedelics play in the development of the human imagination and human spirituality. The articles and book excerpts by various authors illuminate the current attitudes toward psychedelics by proponents of these substances. It is a valuable companion to Hancock's book Supernatural. Read both and be convinced or validated regarding the efficacy of these substances.

DMT or Science? Or both? Or neither?

Reviewed in Canada on 25 November 2015

Scientists never amaze me but this book is different. Instead of aliens in spacecraft, we have the dimensional beings from states of higher and lower plains than our own. Somehow this is not as interesting as I thought it might have been had I also taken DMT. I don't even know where to get DMT and if I did, would I take this journey alone? Many answered questions, but some still linger for me.
