Synopsis

5 stars "Fascinating insights into visionary states. Bound to be a controversial book." --Grady Harp Top Contributor: Children's Books, HALL OF FAME, TOP 100 REVIEWER

Are you walking the spiritual path and curious about psychedelics? Journey along with a meditation master and former "pharmacological purist" as he explores the spiritual heart of the psychedelic experience to discover the potential benefits and dangers of these substances.

Richard L. Haight, a master swordsman, meditation expert, and bestselling author of The Unbound Soul provides an extraordinarily powerful, unbiased account of hallucinogens as they relate to the spiritual path.

     "This book is a page-turner, exciting, and written with captivating      
      imagery that transports you on this psychedelic journey."

For his journeys, Haight makes use of three ancient shamanic plants found in South, Central, and North America, and he reveals a cutting-edge perspective that catalyzes tremendous personal transformation.

The Psychedelic Path is a book for you if:

• You are serious about spiritual awakening but are unsure whether psychedelics are right for you ― "I found the book to be a clearly mapped process to deciding whether a psychedelic is a path for the reader."
• You are frightened by the prospect of "bad trips" but still feel pulled to psychedelics. ― "I'd never considered that bad trips could teach one so much. Just read it, you'll learn something."
• You already employ psychedelics but are looking for a fresh, more powerful approach. ― "The Psychedelic Path was a catalyst, a spark, a guide which helped focus my mind before the most important psychedelic journey I have ever taken.
• You want to confront your own deepest, oldest inner demons, but you're having trouble "getting there". ― "Haight includes rich and expressive details of his process and encounters with both shadow and light material and aspects of spirit/psyche."
• You want to live a life filled with love and courage, beyond all excuses. ― "Whether or not you use psychedelics, this book can open a door to your inner awareness."
  

"I felt elation and had the sense I was taking part in an epic or classic fairy tale―the quest, fighting the dragons and the final hard-won conquest."

"The most impressing aspect is the level of detail he was capable of bringing; the very vivid and clear descriptions...an absolute masterwork."

"Important and very informative reading...Haight's deeply confessional prose is moving to the extreme."

About this title

Review

By sharing his own psychedelic experiences Richard clearly presents his case for their use in developing individual spiritual paths. His reports are fascinating insights into visionary states. At book's end in an Appendix, he carefully explains the pharmacology and history of ayahuasca, psilocybin, and salvia divinorum - a very educational and well-researched section that should make re-reading this book even more interesting than the initial exposure.

This book offered insight into tools available with avenues of safe exploration. It left me with an insatiable desire resonating through every fiber of my being to continue the journey that offers the voice of truth, ever sensitive to the pull within.
―Kathy A. DeLorme, RRT

This book is a page-turner, exciting, and written with captivating imagery that transports you on this Psychedelic journey. The real story is the journey of this man finding himself and the true meaning of love and partnership.
―Justin Hagar, 5th-degree blackbelt instructor of Iaido

Richard Haight's latest book provides good information on psychedelics for those of us who are on the path of raising consciousness. More importantly, however, is his in-depth recounting of his experiences, particularly with the ayahuasca. I felt like I was there with him. The insights can assist people who are trying to decide which path might be appropriate for them and which ones might not.
―Jean Adrienne, Power Talk Radio

While I am not an advocate for the use of psychedelics, I admire, and appreciate, Richard's "guide" to all aspects of this type exploration/journey. It is written in a style and language so that anyone who does feel strongly about it, can know the complete "in's and out's" and be well equipped for the experience they embark upon.
―Billy Atwell, Fear Not Podcast, Livingbeyondyourfears.com

Read this book with loving openness, and you will find plenty of treasures that may serve you, whether or not your "pull" leads you to psychedelics.
―William Arsenis, Author of WHEN DEATH DON'T DO, Trust Matters
