Publisher's Synopsis
Prepare to ride to the edge of reality itself. Explore the dazzling universe of consciousness, and discover the hidden spiritual core of what truly makes us human.
Join author Richard T. Estrin as he reports on his experiences ingesting everything from LSD, peyote, magic mushrooms and DMT over the course of several decades. From encounters with divine ecstasy to bloodcurdling terror, you'll see the world through his eyes-and it will never look the same again.
Estrin analyzes the connections between psychedelics and mythology, literature, religion, and even quantum physics. He believes psychedelics aren't "drugs" at all but rather tools to access a hidden world by breaking down the walls of consciousness.
Whether or not he's right-and regardless of whether you've used these substances yourself-let Estrin guide you to turning on, tuning in, and seeing the cosmos itself in ways you've never imagined. The only question is, are you ready to follow him down the rabbit hole?
Following in the tradition of psychedelic pioneers like Terrence McKenna, The Explorer's Club is part exploration, part ethnobotanical history, and part spiritual study. The end result is a journey that may leave you looking at yourself-and the very nature of reality-differently forever.
