Synopsis

These are exciting times for a psychedelic Christian. Psychedelic research is experiencing something of a renaissance, ayahuasca shamanism is booming, and there even appears to be renewed interest in Christianity as a viable spiritual path in a supposedly post-Christian world. This book charts my own adventures with psychedelics and Christianity, as well as visiting a range of other wisdom traditions, including Tibetan Buddhism, Bengali Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism, Advaita Vedanta and Zen, in an attempt to uncover the essence of man’s true relation to God. It is a passionate and serious call for the renewal of belief in a cynical age. The book also explores the ways in which we sabotage our spiritual development and looks at the cultural forces that mitigate against it, scientific materialism, postmodernism, political radicalism and religious fundamentalism being the prime suspects. Although inspired by psychedelic experiences, which are generally associated with the counter-culture, the conclusions and prescriptions offered here are oriented towards a more traditional understanding of our place in the world. Central to this vision is a re-affirmation of the value and importance of Christianity for our self-understanding and spiritual growth both as individuals and as a society. Carefully researched and elegantly written, with a wealth of exciting new ideas, insights and practices, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in religion or psychedelics or the present state and potential future of humanity. Avoiding the worn-out platitudes of a facile New Age or the clichés of an exhausted Christianity, "Confessions of a Psychedelic Christian" makes religion live again for a new generation.
