Book Praise
“In Psychedelic Consciousness, Plant Intelligence for Healing Ourselves and a Fragmented World, author Daniel Grauer undertakes a highly ambitious assessment of the very nature of life itself, and of the countless tangulations, from physical to spiritual, that afflict humanity and promote suffering and misunderstanding. Taking us from early ancestry up through modern discovery, from single-cell life to complex society, he weaves a case for the employment of psychedelics as psychic crowbars capable of opening us to more life-affirming and expansive awareness.” - Chris Kilham, author of The Ayahuasca Test Pilots Handbook and The Five Tibetans
“Daniel Grauer’s beautiful and insightful book Psychedelic Consciousness couldn’t be more timely. Philosophically intriguing and spiritually inspiring, Grauer provides a historical perspective on our collective state of mind, the dangers of our wayward world’s dark spiral into fragmentation, and the power of sacred tools and technologies— such as visionary plants, psychedelic fungi, meditation and Yoga— to restore personal, collective, and ecological balance. Grauer offers practical steps for how to dissolve these dangerous illusions of fragmentation, to promote experiences of boundary-dissolving unity, and to experience the transformative power of self-transcendence and mystical experiences. Interdisciplinary in its scope, hopeful and inspiring in it’s plea for sanity, Grauer’s wise words demonstrate how personal transformation can lead to radical collective change and a better world.” - David Jay Brown, author of Dreaming Wide Awake and The New Science of Psychedelics
“In Psychedelic Consciousness, Grauer asks us how we are to overcome our lack of community and social unity and our sense that something is off. The author lays out his clear and sensible plan for transformation.” - Thomas B. Roberts, Ph.D., author of The Psychedelic Future of the Mind
"With the right tools and the right mindset, Grauer offers up a path for finding symbiosis with nature. Tapping into the zeitgeist, Psychedelic Consciousness is a balm to every weary individualist who is ready to come back into balance and feel the unity inherent to all life.” - Louie Schwartzberg, director of Fantastic Fungi
