Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years, psilocybin has been increasingly used in research studies. It has achieved impressively high success rates for issues such as non-treatable depression, end of life anxiety, PTSD, smoking addiction, and a host of other disorders that are difficult to cure. That research has led to a revival of interest in some of the compounds that President Nixon blacklisted in 1971. He then classified them as Schedule 1 controlled substances as they interfered with the Vietnam war efforts (people taking the drugs would wake up and realize they were opposed to going to war), making them less controllable. Inside this book, Grant Cameron dares to break the still-active taboo surrounding the use of psilocybin and what it has been used for throughout history - a breakthrough into mystical states known as samadhi or nirvana.Breakthrough: The Psilocybin School will guide the reader through 16 high-dose "trips" where an audio recorder and strict protocols (used in psilocybin research in University laboratories worldwide) were used. It tells stories of good trips, bad trips, and the death of the ego. Most importantly, it discusses the strange world of mystical experiences where 70% of people who have experienced it call it one of the top five experiences of their life, equal to the birth of a child or a parent's death. That is the world one is initiated into, on the other side of the breakthrough.
