Dr. Rick Strassman on Altered States

Join me on an enlightening journey with renowned psychedelic researcher Rick Strassman, M.D. He’ll discuss his new book My Altered States and delve into the depths of altered states of consciousness from birth to early adulthood. Drawing from his extensive journals, Strassman analyzes these profound experiences through the lenses of psychoanalysis, psychopharmacology, Zen Buddhism, and medieval Jewish metaphysics. We explore why these altered states occur, their emotional and psychological impacts, and their significance in our spiritual lives. He'll offer a raw and insightful examination of these extraordinary states' blissful and challenging facets, providing valuable guidance on integrating their lessons into everyday life.More on Rick: https://www.rickstrassman.com/Get the book: https://amzn.to/4gmPazjStream All Astro Gnosis Conferences: https://thegodabovegod.com/replay-sophia/The Gnostic Tarot: https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/synkrasisHomepage: https://thegodabovegod.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aeonbyteAB Prime: https://thegodabovegod.com/members/subscription-levels/ Virtual Alexandria Academy: https://thegodabovegod.com/virtual-alexandria-academy/Voice Over services: https://thegodabovegod.com/voice-talent/ Support with donation: https://buy.stripe.com/00g16Q8RK8D93mw288Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
