    Adventures Through The Mind

    Adventures Through The Mind (ATTMind) is an interview-based podcast focusing on topics relevant and related to psychedelic cultures, psychedelic research, and psychedelic medicine.

    It focuses on supporting the personal and cultural integration of psychedelic experiences in a functional and healthy way; and always holding a curiosity towards immediate and valuable relevance to a person’s lived life

    “The psychedelic experience really shines when we find a way to integrate what we’ve learned from it into our daily lives. My desire to help that with that integration on a personal and cultural level is why I make Adventures Through The Mind”

    ATTMind is hosted by Canadian author and public educator, James W. Jesso.

    James W. Jesso is the author of Decomposing The Shadow: Lessons From The Psilocybin Mushroom and The True Light Of Darkness, both about his experiences exploring the potentials of psychedelics.

    Can We Trust Science? | Danny Nemu ~ ATTMind 146 Jul 30, 2021
    Show notes

    Danny Nemu is on the show to talk about Science Revealed, the failures of our scientific institutions, and their unreliability as proxies for sensemaking reality.

    We explore the question: Can we trust science? ***Interview recorded April 29, 2021

    (This is a weird interview because there are several moments where my—I personally consider valid—inclination to push back against certain statements revealed myself as being somewhat wrapped in ideological assumptions and juvenile reactivity... It was an interesting learning experience for myself...

    That being said, Danny and I continued to have a thoughtful and respectful conversation and one that I hope you will appreciate.)

    Global Collapse, Spirituality, and The Birth Of The Future Human | Chris Bache, PhD ~ ATTMind 142 Apr 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Chris Bache PhD has previously been on the show to talk about his work with high dose LSD journeys, out of his book LSD and The Mind Of The Universe. In that book, he discusses visions he had of 'the birth of the future human' emerging out of the incredible suffering and challenges of a total, global collapse.

    In this interview, Chris outlines why and where he sees this collapse as already having begun and what his LSD journeys into 'deep time,' the collective suffering of all humanity, and divine encounters with oneness have revealed about what it will take for humanity to make it through collapse into the future anew. A spiritual approach to the crisis of global collapse.
