The word “psychedelic” has been interpreted in many ways. The origin of “psychedelic” is shared in this episode, as well as the first known use of the word “psyche”, over a thousand years ago as portrayed in a Greek mythological tale. The story is incredible!
What does “Soul” really mean? Today we will explore the Sanskrit word for Soul, Ātman, which is an essential principle in Hinduism, and I understand why. It’s awe-inspiring. It brings us all together. It is filled with love.

Aldous Huxley describes his experience on Mescalin in the 1950’s and as I read through this book I was in awe at how similar Huxley’s experience was to my first psilocybin trip.
The year was 2010.
It was a beautiful Spring day.
My life was forever changed.

Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, was a leader of The Merry Pranksters along with his best friend Ken Babbs.
Before Kesey was an author, he was a student at Stanford University – & while he was there, in 1960 he voluntarily participated in a military experiment testing the effects of mind altering drugs. He was given LSD & it changed his life forever, in incredible ways.
“Wear Sunscreen” is an essay turned into a commencement speech & is one of my favorites – My psilocybin experiences have helped me understand these words all the more.
I hope these words in my voice share the beauty of it all.

The psilocybin experience in itself can be similar to a hero’s journey & sometimes that’s exactly what it is. Learn more in this episode.
From his empowering essay titled Self-Reliance.
One of my favorite writings of Emerson.
See how it relates to the empowering psilocybin experience in this episode!
It’s important to learn about ego for many reasons, especially when experiencing psychedelic states of consciousness.
Know ego to go beyond ego, and then to come back to ego.
What is the Myth of Perfection?
It is liberation from the idea that we have to be “perfect” to accept ourselves, or that others have to be “perfect” to accept them.
My psilocybin experiences have helped me accept myself for who I am, and others for who they are, without any desire to change them. Sometimes it feels like unconditional love to me during these experiences.
I am a part-time perfectionist.
There are some things that are worth being perfected, and some that don’t need as much attention. I often find myself writing twenty to forty or sometimes even a hundred lines of the same sentence — before feeling and knowing that it is complete.
It’s a blessing and a curse. (OCD much? haha)
This perfectionist attention was put into the making of The Psychedelic Trip Journal. & I’m all ears to improvements, so please send it all my way — the bad & good.
Overall, The Psychedelic Trip Journal is a great integration journal for the psilocybin & psychedelic experience.
