The Yoga Sutras of Patanjal and were part of a ‘Golden Age’ of Vedic cultures that connected to Deep Source states of Samadhi and an anchoring of higher God consciousness.

Inside tryptamine Palace
A rollicking interview with James Oroc, author of the Tryptamine Palace: 5-MeO-DMT and the Sonoran Desert Toad. In which experiential journalist Rak Razam delves into the secret history of DMT from Stephen Szara’s experiments in the 1950s, William Burroughs (whom Oroc calls the “Godfather of DMT”) and his radical break with English language caused by his DMT experiences (“language is a virus”) through to the lower language bardos of the DMT realm where the golden code of meaning manifests. Oroc hypotheizes about the relationship between consciousness and language and the Zero Point Field and recognizing oneness within God. Is 5-MeO-DMT a tool to help us experience on the inside what quantum physics explains on the outside – non-local experiences of the “whiteout” or plenum of energy that lies within? Is 5-MeO-DMT specifically designed to be a sacred template or will it become the “next big thing”, full circle from the 60s? Oroc and Razam trade maps of the 5-MeO-DMT space and attempt to tranlinguisticize the bardo spaces of the Godhead, and what lies beyond the beyond… An intimate discussion by two pre-eminent psychonauts on the fringes of innerspace for your enlightenment and elucidation…

How to Choose A Psychedelic Facilitator or Retreat Center with Joël Brierre
Joël Brierre dives into the specifics of what makes for a good container. As safety is always important, especially when working with a substance as powerful as 5-MeO-DMT, Joël recommends facilitators have training to ensure they are able to respond to medical emergencies should they arise.
