She explores ancient teachings on the interconnectedness of all life and the forces of nature and shows how colonization and modern culture have disconnected us from our spiritual foundations. She shares exercises to help readers seed their own consciousness, navigate altered states of consciousness and ego death, work with the shadow, and integrate fragmented parts of the self. She also examines how to respectfully engage with these potent transformative plants, substances, and ancient traditions, thereby honoring the wisdom keepers who have safeguarded these traditions across the millennia. Revealing how to prepare the fertile soil of the mind for mystical experience, this book presents a psychedelic path to awakening that simultaneously facilitates personal transformation and collective societal change.

Teach your dog something more substantial than cheap tricks. As much as you love your dog, there comes a point when their destructive exploits stop being cute and start to become a drag. Having a dog at home comes with so many joyful moments and pleasant experiences, like when they excitedly welcome you home, or cozily sit on your lap during cold wintry nights. But they also come with a lot of responsibilities and their fair share of issues. Your dog may be barking all night, keeping you up and annoying your neighbors. Or they could be chewing up your furniture and leaving a total mess in your living room. Whatever the bad behavior, these situations are usually manageable when they just occur a few times. But when they become regular incidents that you keep having to fix, clean, or even pay for, it can make you question whether getting a dog in the first place was the right choice. If you've reached your breaking point in getting your dog to behave, don't give up just yet. There are a number of things you can do to teach your dog to not just follow your commands, but to also behave in the right way without having to be told. In Dog-Well Trained vs Well Behaved, you will find out how to deal with your dog's problems, as well as the other aspects of dog rearing that you need to know.

Getting your dog to behave doesn't have to involve harsh punishments and overly strict rules, but it does involve more than teaching them to sit, stay, and roll over. Your relationship with your dog is a two-way interaction. It's not just about giving your dog commands, but it's also about listening to what your dog is telling you. Being attuned to your dog's needs will bring you a long way in fixing their behavior. You can find out what is causing your dog to act up, and resolve this in a more constructive way that sets them up to behave better in the future. By putting in a bit of effort today, you will have years of effortless dog rearing, spending less time on disciplining, and more time on bonding with your dog instead.

Best known as the first person to synthesize, ingest, and discover the psychedelic effects of LSD, Albert Hofmann was more than just a chemist. A pioneer in the field of visionary plant research, he was one of the first people to suggest the use of entheogens for psychological healing and spiritual growth. His insights into the consciousness-expanding effects of psychedelics as well as human nature, the psyche, and the nature of reality earned him a reputation as a mystical scientist and visionary philosopher. This book--Hofmann’s last work before his death in 2008 at the age of 102--offers the acclaimed scientist’s personal experiences and thoughts on chemistry, the natural sciences, mind-altering drugs, the soul, and the search for happiness and meaning in life. Hofmann explains different methods of pharmaceutical research based on traditional plant medicine and discusses psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms that he discovered. He examines the psychological role of psychoactives, their therapeutic potential, and their use in easing the life-to-death transition. Sharing a different side of the father of LSD, one known only to his friends and close colleagues, this book also includes the poetry of this mystical prophet of psychedelic science.

Revealing the interwoven energies of body and soul, love and spirit that illuminate the core of each being, Alex Grey’s mystic paintings articulate the realms of consciousness encountered during visits to entheogenic heaven worlds. His painting Net of Being--inspired by a blazing vision of an infinite grid of Godheads during an ayahuasca journey--has reached millions as the cover and interior of the band TOOL’s Grammy award–winning triple-platinum album, 10,000 Days. Net of Beingis one of many images Grey has created that have resulted in a chain reaction of uses--from apparel and jewelry to tattoos and music videos--embedding these iconic works into our culture’s living Net of Being. The book explores how the mystical experience expressed in Alex Grey’s work opens a new understanding of our shared consciousness and unveils the deep influence art can have on cultural evolution. The narrative progresses through a successive expansion of identity--from the self, to self and beloved, to self and community, world spirit, and cosmic consciousness, where bodies are transparent to galactic energies. Presenting over 200 images, including many never-before-reproduced paintings as well as masterworks such as St. Albert and the LSD Revelation Revolutionand Godself, the book also documents performance art, live-painting on stage throughout the world, and the “social sculpture” called CoSM, Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, that Grey cofounded with his wife and creative collaborator, artist Allyson Grey.

Esta serie unica de pinturas lleva al espectador a un viaje grafico y vionario a traves de la anatomia fisica y metafisica del ser. En su exploracion dentro de la naturaleza del hombre/mujer, Alex Grey retrata el sistema nervioso, el vascular, el esqueleto y demas sistemas corporales con un realismo desmenuzador y anatomicamente exacto. Despues pasa a los sistemas espirituales/energeticos con imagenes como el Entramado de la Mente Universal, visualizando el simbolismo esoterico y sagrado del cuerpo y las fuerzas que definen su campo de energia viviente. Los Espejos Sagrados, presentados aqui en su totalidad, han sido exhibidos por todo el mundo. Las figuras son de tamano natural y se enfrentan difectamente al espectador para conseguir, precisamente, el efecto de espejo: permaneciendo frente a ellos el espectador puede "ver dentro" de si mismo. Ademas, Grey ha pintado los diferentes sistemas en un estado ideal y saludable para que puedan funcionar como ayuda en la curacion mediante visulizaciones o meditacion. Al retratar los diferentes sexos y razas, Espejos Sagrados tambien nos cuestiona sobre como nos vemos reflejados en dos demas. Los ensayos de Ken Wilber, eminente psicologo transpersonal, y del destacado critico de arte de Nueva York, Carlo McCormick, exploran el elemento espiritual del arte desde el punto de vista de la Filosofia Eterna y trazan el desarorollo del trabajo de Grey--incluyendo sus representaciones de arte--junto con el sendero del artista/chaman. Por su parte, el propio Grey explica la concepcion, construccion y simbolismo de Espejos Sagrados y otros cuadros (reproducidos en este libro) de su rico y variado trabajo, incluyendo Gaia: El Alma del Mundo, interpretado como el arbol o la membrana de la vida que toma parte en el continuo ciclo de nacimiento, susteno y muerte; y el Viaje del Sanador Herido, que describe el descenso chamanico, la desintegracion y tansmutacion del Ser. Fascinado desde la adolescencia con los temas de la mortalidad y la polaridad, Alex Grey ve en la anatomia humana un microcosmos de los muchos sistemas y niveles de orden en la naturaleza. El pintor paso vaiors anos en una escuela de medicina estudiando la anatomia humana con un interes especial en la interconexion del cuerpo con la mente y el espiritu. Su trabajo se ha exhibido en las Galerias Stux de Nueva York y Boston; en el New Museum de Nueva York; en el Museo de Arte de la Universidad de California en Santa Barbara; en la Exposicion de Arte Internacional de Chicago; en la Galeria Regional de Arte de Londres en Canada; en el Gran Palacio de Paris; en la Bienal de Sao Paulo, Brasil, y en numerosas otras exposiciones.
