Infinite Perception: The Role of Psychedelics in Global Transformation

by Ocean Malandra & Natalie Dyer PhD

From the Publisher: Infinite Perception: The Power of Psychedelics for Global Transformation is an anthology of voices from the front line of the Psychedelic Renaissance, co-edited by journalist Ocean Malandra and neuroscientist and Harvard researcher Natalie Dyer, PhD. After being culturally dormant for decades, a new mainstream global psychedelic revolution is upon us. This pioneering anthology takes the reader on a renewed journey through the cultural, social, and personally transformative power of psychedelics. Discover unique perspectives from indigenous healers to scientists, anthropologists, artists, and activists. From this multidimensional exploration, the reader will gain a comprehensive new understanding of psychedelics and their impact that’s not found in other books. This volume includes contributions and interviews from prominent voices such as Dennis Mckenna of the Mckenna Academy, Rick Doblin of MAPS, Zoe Helene of Cosmic Sister, and Rick Strassman of the Spirit Molecule, as well as indigenous shamans from the Amazon rainforest to the Arctic Circle.

Praise for the Book: 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. Beyond the medical model of psychedelics, the mystical experience is what connects us to meaning and understanding our place. Indigenous voices parallel western doctors and explorers in this vital collection that maps the cultural and societal transformation afoot with psychedelics, and the personal transformations that heal and illuminate our journeys into the mystery.–Rak Razam, author of Aya Awakenings: A Shamanic Odyssey

Humankind is now facing major existential threats. The emergence of global consciousness is absolutely required to solve these threats. 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
