About this title

From the Back Cover:

"This book provides a balanced, thoroughly research and clear account about a topic that has fascinated people for centuries - even millennia - and will be with us, on way or another, for a long time to come." -- Harvey Cox, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Harvard Divinity School

"This book of essays plows new ground.... It is well worth reading. Anything that can bring the human family closer together should be investigated." -- Rev. Dr. Kenneth B. Smith, President, Chicago Theological Seminary

"The sensible use of entheogens is one of the most promising paths to deep spiritual insight for many people, and this book shows how that could be done." -- Charles T. Tart, Ph.D. author of Living the Mindful Life

"We have long needed this well-articulated, thoughtful, and rational basis for understanding the power of psychedelic biochemicals to stimulate visionary experience. These essays make a strong case for the use of these substances in future religious practice." -- Frank Barron, Ph.D., Sc.D., author of No Rootless Flower: An Ecology of Creativity

"If you think like I do that unless we expand our awareness we will not have a happy future, then this is the book to read." -- Rabbi Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi, author of From Age-ing to Sage-ing

"Essential reading for everyone concerned with spiritual, psychological, and social well-being. A fascinating and significant collection." -- Frances Vaughan, Ph.D., author of Shadows of the Sacred and The Inward Arc

"This book offers a thoughtful, sane examination of a topic of great social, psychological and religious significance." -- Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., University of California
