Here's the very first episode of Divergent States: The Unofficial Psychonaut Podcast. Introductions, interview, music and a wrap-up. Be sure to listen all the way to the end to hear the shout-outs! We talk to Dr Strassman about a number of different subjects, and talk about his new book, My Altered States, available on Amazon 12.11.24.
In this engaging conversation, Rick Strassman, a pioneer in psychedelic research, shares his insights on DMT, consciousness, and spirituality. He discusses his journey into DMT research, the influence of personal experiences on his work, and the importance of understanding both the positive and negative aspects of psychedelic experiences. Strassman emphasizes the significance of integrating various frameworks, such as psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism, to make sense of altered states. The conversation also touches on the potential of psychedelics in enhancing creativity and the unique perspectives of individuals on the autism spectrum.
We talk about upcoming guests, give some acknowledgements and shout-outs, and we talk a little about the interview. The music comes from Dyalien on reddit.
