Neuropsychopharmacologist, Zeus Tipado, chats with Madison Margolin about the ways that belief effects altered states.

  • Zeus’s upbringing and history with voodoo
  • Using religion to understand a Psilocybin trip
  • Religion versus spirituality

  • Placebo and the science of belief
  • God as the psychedelic
  • Microdosing and the expectancy effect
  • How brain structure may affect our religious experiences

  • Removing ego death from the psychedelic experiences
  • Schizophrenia, Mania, and other altered states
  • Psychedelic-induced psychosis
  • Creativity and divergent thinking
  • The afterglow of a psychedelic experience
  • Electromagnetism and the science of the soul

“The way I understand religion is it’s almost like the embodied practices in order to contain spirituality which is so vast and beyond words.” – Madison Margolin
