Sacred Knowledge

Psychedelics and Religious Experiences

Beschreibung

Sacred Knowledge is the first well-documented, sophisticated account of the effect of psychedelics on biological processes, human consciousness, and revelatory religious experiences. Richards argues that, if used responsibly and legally, psychedelics have incredible potential to assuage human suffering and contribute to the quality of life.

Rezensionen

Sacred Knowledge is not only timely and relevant to a whole host of current social/legal issues but also addresses, with seemingly effortless ease, many of the deeper/subtler metaphysical implications of psychedelics - their therapeutic and spiritual potential. Richards's clear prose makes articulating such difficult topics look easy. G. William Barnard, Southern Methodist University
