Some of them are coming up to the surface by defining themselves as a church. Wondering where that will go. Haven’t been, but our city has one: Psanctuary.
Thanks, Jamie. Especially apropos after a recent "hero's journey" by mountain bike while on 4g of dried Albino PE to find a vaguely-remembered local paradise I dubbed "The Inner Sanctity of Marie's." After many trials and tribulations (and a handful of prickly-pear spines), I rediscovered this hidden gem in the Timothy-Leary-imbued hills of Laguna Beach, and came to a somewhat-mystical realization that all of Life is "infinite loops of subjective experience that worked, so they keep repeating themselves." I tried to crystallize this vision further, but was prodded by my inner voices to leave Eden before my journey was over to "stop the Cartoon Antichrist before it's too late." Alas, 4 weeks later, apathy has set in, and I've already begun to justify my lethargy with, "It's cool, Kamala's got this!" and "It's okay, I understand the purpose and meaning of the universe and our place in it, but why bother trying to explain it to anyone else..." Any suggestions??
Compass Pathways is likely next at bat, and that lot does not give a fuuuuuck about healing the heart of a wounded humanity in time to save our planet!

hello, that did decrease trust points - germansgonnagerman??? in my book, that's f*cked n that context. still gonna read the rest of the article.
Anna, why do you sound like you're arguing with Jamie when you're making the same points?
My point? Painting psychedelics as either coal black or dayglo pink is missing the point and is unconvincing to anyone other than the already convinced.
reckon I laid plenty of responsibility on all sides in this piece? If you want to reduce it to simplistic heroes and villains I guess you can, but that wasn't the point (at all) of this essay. That kind of Manichean moralizing seems to be part of what got us into this pickle in the first place. For all the non-dual unity consciousness that psychedelics are supposed to afford, this space sure seems to be plenty petty and political! Reckon solutions are on the other side of that fence...
"Venture capitalists “called in” to disrupt the psychedelic therapy space." Hahhaa holy shit
“Long live the psychedelic underground.”

99% predicted failure rate for self-appointed hierophants trying to institutionalize (and monetize) sacred ceremony

Thank you Jamie, truth injection completed. Guided by the soulforce, beautifully written!

A) a joke taking the piss out of Angermayer, who, if you know him is quintessentially German
B) Germany has a four century intellectual tradition of clinical utilitarianism mixed with Uber menschy Utopianism They haven’t always mixed well.
Very

I thought calling out Psymposia here was absolutely correct. Forgive them for they know not what they do.
