Comments on the video:

Synapse: Thanks!  a welcome addition to the textual document! This is now among the best information available on YouTube (or more generally, in video format), to my knowledge, of the current state-of-the-art. 

Arlene: Excellent Chris! Would love you to do a doc on the politics of consciousness ... To expand upon why they have  been suppressed ... Why they pose a threat to tptb ... Also about the purpose and function of ego dissolution as it relates to planetary healing and sustainability ... Why those who  condemn psychedelics are hell bent on the manifestation of Armageddon ...

George D: Excellent video Chris. Thank you for sharing and I will be circulating it through my mailing list. Aloha

John B: Watched it last night. Excellent. The argument was clear, not to say intriguing. It's good work you do. All the best!

A ‘state of the art’ research overview of what is currently known about how entheogens, including the classic psychedelics, affect the brain and transform conscious experience through their altered receptor dynamics, and to explore their implications for understanding the conscious brain and its relationship to existential reality, and their potential utility in our cultural maturation and understanding of the place of sentient life in the universe.
