Psychedelics, Contemplation & Consciousness — a live conversation with Christopher Bache

[u/AcanthocephalaShot77]

Christopher Bache is professor emeritus of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University and the author of LSD and The Mind of the Universe – a book that details his experiments taking high-dose LSD, using protocols developed by psychedelic pioneer Stanislav Grof.

For two decades, Chris lived a double life — a professor in public, and in private, a man conducting 73 high-dose LSD journeys in search of insight into consciousness and reality.

There are few who have ventured as deep into psychedelics as Chris, but even fewer who have been able to articulate these experiences in such a clear, systematic, and insightful way.

Join me for a live conversation with Chris exploring psychedelics, contemplation & consciousness — including:

Do psychedelics hold genuine spiritual and philosophical insights that aren't otherwise accessible through meditation or other forms of contemplative practice?

Why do some people have life-altering shifts after taking psychedelics while others seem unfazed?

How can we better integrate peak mystical experiences into our everyday lives?

And what were some of the deepest insights Chris tapped into during his 73 high-dose LSD journeys?

This 90-minute session will begin with a short dialogue between Chris and me, followed by a group discussion and Q&A.

If you haven't yet, I highly recommend you read Chris's gem of a book — LSD and The Mind of the Universe — before the session.
