Thank you for joining us for this special event. In the past decade psychedelics have reemerged in the cultural space thanks to new research and formal exploration into psychedelic experiences.. The mission of this conference is to present this infor- mation as an academic discipline, and to foster a rational discussion about the fu- ture of psychedelics in Western culture. We hope that this conference educates, in- spires creativity, provokes critical thought, and fosters a community of curious and open minds. We encourage you to engage this conference as an active participant – to not only absorb the conversations, but to contribute to them. Ask questions during symposia. Interact with, and get to know, your fellow psychedemics. Partici- pate in all of the varied parts of the conference with equal vigor. By doing these things you will contribute to the success of a unique conference that is certain to transcend its four days. Humbly, Your Psychedemia Organizers. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Dedicated to the memories of John C. Lilly, Buckminster Fuller, and Terence McKenna. Lilly and Fuller were visionary scholars, both with ties to the University of Pennsylvania. Lilly, a pioneering psychonaut and researcher of consciousness using sensory deprivation tanks, dolphin communication, and psychedelics received his medical degree from the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in 1943. Fuller, the self-proclaimed „comprehensive anticipatory design scientist‟ who invented, among many other things, the geodesic dome, taught at Penn as Pro- fessor Emeritus, appointed in 1975. Terence McKenna was a psychedelic philosopher and performance artist. The coincidence of Psychedemia with the year 2012 and the archaeology exhibit “Maya 2012:Lords of Time” at the Penn Museum would seem appropriate to him. Terence once wrote: “You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea. Because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.” ii Contents: i – Calendar of Events ii – Welcome iii – Contents 1 - 3 – Conference schedule 4 – Acknowledgements 5 – Explanation of access 6 – Travel information 7 – Getting to the conference 8 – Getting around the conference 9 – Conference space descriptions 10 – Program of Events (Thursday) 11 - 15 – Program of Events (Friday) 16 - 27 – Program of Events (Saturday) 28 - 30 – Program of Events (Sunday) 31 – Program of Events (Workshops) 32 - 33 – Sponsors iii Time Location What Who 9:00am - 12:00pm Hall of Flags Interdisciplinary Symposium on Psychedelics and Health F 9:00 - 9:10 Hall of Flags Introduction Conference Schedule 9:15 - 9:35 Hall of Flags ―Healing From the Gods: ayahuasca and the curing of disease states.‖ Maggi Quinlan, Ph.D. R 9:40 - 10:00 Hall of Flags ―Psychedelic Love: Sex to Transcendence.‖ Neal Goldsmith, Ph.D. ―The Effects of Psilocybin and Meditation on Personality Change in Healthy Volun- 10:05 - 10:25 Hall of Flags teers‖ Katherine MacLean, Ph.D. I 10:30 - 11:00 BREAK 11:05 - 11:25 Hall of Flags "Shamanism, right relationship, and the sacred plants" Stephan Beyer, Ph.D. D 11:30 - 12:00 Hall of Flags Panel Discussion and Q&A Panel A 12:00pm - 1:30pm Lunch Break Y 1:30pm - 3:30pm Hall of Flags Symposium on Psychedelics and Art Theory 1:30 - 1:40 Hall of Flags Introduction Ken Johnson 1:45 - 2:00 Hall of Flags "The Path and Lineage of Visionary Art: How We Opened Ourselves Up" Michael Divine 2:05 - 2:20 Hall of Flags "Principles of Artistic Vision" George Quasha : 2:25 - 2:40 Hall of Flags ―Vision Mapping for the Golden Age‖ 2:45 - 3:00 BREAK Amanda Sage 3:00 - 3:15 Hall of Flags "It Takes a Village to Raise an Art Movement" Jennifer Ingram 3:15 - 3:35 Hall of Flags Panel Discussion and Q&A Panel 3:50pm - 5:25pm Hall of Flags Individual Presentations 3:50 - 4:10 Hall of Flags ―Communicating the Unspeakable: Linguistic Phenomena in the Psychedelic Sphere‖ Diana Slattery, Ph.D. 4:15-4:35 Hall of Flags ―Emerging Psychedelics Around the World‖ Hamilton Morris 4:40 - 5:00 Hall of Flags ―Psychoactive Drugs in Western Esotericism.‖ Dan Merkur, Ph.D. 5:05 - 5:50 Hall of Flags "A Systems Approach to Describing Psychedelic States.‖ James L.

    50. Down the Rabbit Hole with Mitch Schultz, Part 1 Recorded on 12th August, 2019 in Byron Bay, Australia. With Special Guest, Mitch Schultz. Future Sense is a podcast edited from the radio show of the same name, broadcast on BayFM in Byron Bay, Australia, at www.bayfm.org. Hosted by Nyck Jeanes and well-known international futurist, Steve McDonald, Future Sense provides a fresh, deep analysis of global trends and emerging technologies. How can we identify the layers of growth personally, socially and globally? What are the signs missed; the truths being denied? Political science, history, politics, psychology, ancient civilisations, alien contact, the new psychedelic revolution, cryptocurrency and other disruptive and distributed technologies, and much more. This is Future Sense. Nyck: You're now tuned to Future Sense with myself, Nyck Jeanes, and my co-host Steve McDonald. Good morning, Steve. Steve: Good morning, Nyck. Nyck: And it's a great pleasure to welcome back to the studio—and we just worked it out, it's been like a year and a half—our friend Mitch Schulz from the US, the Texan Elf. Mitch: Thanks for having me back, guys. Steve: Welcome back, Mitch. Nyck: It's great to have you back here. You've just arrived from Austin, Texas. Mitch: I have, and always great to be back here. I look forward to a little bit of time with you guys. Stuff's happening. 1 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

  • US Censors LSD Trial, Double Life Sentence Without Parole
    FACT exposé : US censors LSD trial, double life sentence without parole The Strange Trip and Fall of Leonard Pickard Criminal Injustice in the Heartland CJ Hinke [email protected] Freedom Against Censorship Thailand (FACT) http://facthai.wordpress.com More than 13 million Americans have tried LSD. US President John F. Kennedy himself engaged in LSD sessions with his lover Mary Pinchot with acid supplied by Timothy Leary. His brother, US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was a vocal critic of the LSD ban; his wife, Ethel, was successfully treated for alcoholism in LSD sessions at Vancouver’s Hollywood Hospital, under the auspices of the International Association for Psychedelic Therapy, which claimed a success rate of 80%. Both brothers were assassinated; few know that Pinchot was also assassinated in her Washington apartment in 1964; her address book was never found. This article addresses another kind of assassination, life sentences for LSD. Nike Atlas Minuteman ICBM The heartland of the United States is riddled with hundreds of nuclear missile silos, now relics of the cold war. Many of these 20+ acre properties were sold to individuals including those doomsday proponents who saw them as the perfect place for survival come Armageddon. The silos have 47-ton fortified blast doors and a 66,000-pound battery bank. They also seem to be popular as a great modern location for server farms and hacker camps. Wamego, Kansas, is the heart of the heartland and welcomed the silos for their government employment opportunities in the country’s farm belt. Waumego was named after Potawatomie chief Waumego but all the Potawatomies were killed in the American Indian Wars in frontier massacres during the mid-1800s.
