The last and possibly the craziest episode in Series 1 with guest – DMT & ayahuasca Rock Star – Rak Razam! Rak spills the jumping beans on 5-MeO-DMT, and also smokes it for us in the jungle during his appearance on the bridge during this timetravel episode, which includes the upscaled rendering of his 5-MeO-DMT experiment in the Amazon.
So, more or less, it’s been ten years since Rak Razam blazed a path as one of the world’s premier ‘experiential’ journalists. he was goaded into action by the 100th birthday symposium for Albert Hofmann hosted Jan 13-16th 2006 in Basel Switzerland, and reported on the event and the culture around it for The Age, the Australian newspapers, Australian Penthouse, High Times and Undergrowth. Here’s a link to the best of the gonzo reporting. My how time flies when you’re transforming consciousness!
Why do some #hallucinogens cause universal hallucinations? NY periodical Hopes and Fears takes a look, with answers by a wide array of commentators, including Rak Razam.

As psychedelics are cautiously re-embraced back into the medical fold:
Introducing TERRA INCOGNITA: The Martin Ball interview. This was a groundbreaking interview with Martin Ball on his Entheogenic Evolution podcast discussing the new NGO, The Terra Incognita Project, tryptamines, 5-MeO-DMT science, shamanism and neuroshamanism, how we call all join and support this movement working with this sacred medicine.

Today’s podcast features Rak Razam’s 2014 Palenque Norte Lecture, which was originally titled “Cosmic Consciousness To Convergence: Activating the Species.” As you can see, I have shortened it to a phrase that Rak used in his talk, “Consciousness Browsers,” which is an excellent way to describe the psychedelic experience. During his talk, Rak ranges from a discussion of his research into the shamanic use of ayahuasca, to black holes, consciousness as a bit torrent, and the concept of a species swarm. One of my favorite quotes from this talk is: “The heroic thing really is doing what needs to be done, or discovering something of value, and bringing it back and sharing it with the tribe.” – Lorenzo Hagerty
