If you want to learn more about how psychedelics can foster such emergence and positively contribute to individual, societal, and cultural transformations, please read this important and timely book.--Mario Beauregard, neuroscientist, author of Brain Wars and Expanding Reality, co-author of the Manifesto for a Post-Materialist Science Infinite Perception is a brilliant new anthology of timeless wisdom for these changing times. As the weaponization of culture filters our consciousness, just as psychedelics penetrate the capitalist mainstream, we need voices - and experience- like the authors here share, that understand the vision emerging from our altered states is a vital part of the global transformation.
