TITLE

Understanding Dichotomy – the science of the entheogenic experience.

FORMAT

Lecture

Looks at a structure for understanding how the entheogenic experience shapes the persona and the soul over the short and long term. How do these experiences affect us in our day to day lives, and with those who live around us. The model of shamanism in society has largely been lost in parallel to the breakdown of our traditional agrarian societies and the rise of cities. Evidence suggests a new model more relevant to todays society is needed, perhaps to help prevent breakdown of society within the cities of the future.
