The Entheogenic Evolution Martin W. Ball

This week's episode features the next two chapters of the audiobook of The Solandarian Game. We have chapter 5 with Shuntsu, the patriarch of the Humanist Avatars from the world of Volunshari, who's hatched a plan to challenge the Overmind of Maitreya. Meanwhile, Theo, an avatar of Maitreya, pays a personal visit to the world of Solandaria in chapter 6 to investigate who has turned on the quantum translator on this experimental feral human world. 

This week I'm joined by author, Astraeus Amori, to discuss his new book, Psychedelic Sacred Sexuality. We discuss the role of various psychedelics in sexual experiences and how to work with your consenting partner. You can find out more about him and his book at his website.

This week we're shifting gears into sharing selections from the audiobook of my novel, The Solandarian Game, which is now also available as an AI-Imagined Art Illustrated Version in ebook and PDF format. Every-other-week, between interviews, I'll be sharing a couple of chapters here on the podcast, and also posting some of the images from the chapters on my Facebook and Instagram feed. If you'd like to receive a free PDF of the first 5 chapters of the illustrated novel, shoot me an email and I'll send you the link. The ebook is available at Kindle and the Apple Bookstore, and also available as a PDF at my Patreon Shop.With this week's chapters, listeners are introduced to two more of our main characters, Hydar and Norbu. Hydar is a independent avatar of Maitreya who lives on the Humanist avatar world of Volunshari who suspects that their leader, Shuntsu, is up to no good. Norbu is a Priest of the Temple of the Mystic Toad on the experimental world of Solandaria who sets out on a quest with his daughter into the desert regions to see if they can locate the spot where a mysterious light fell out of the sky.

My guest this week is Pablo Lopez, a psychotherapist in Spain, who is interested in how the nonduality and energetics of the 5-MeO-DMT experience relate to human development, egoic blocks, sexuality, and more. We have a wide-ranging conversation on these and other topics in this interview. Due to its length, the last 3rd of the conversation has been posted to my Patreon page exclusively for my Patrons. Also, as a special treat this week, we've got the track "Love is the Law" from musician Coren Smith who has just released his newest album, "Divine Will". The album is out now on all digital music platforms and you can find it at Spotifiy here 

A few weeks ago, The Church of the Sacred Synthesis released information to the public that their year-long research into the chemistry of their sacrament, the novel compound of Psilomethoxin (4-HO-5-MeO-DMT), had yielded promising results. To help us understand what they've done and what they've found, I've invited their science officer, Adam McKay, and Ian Benouis to join me in a 3-way conversation about the research, the results, and where they're going from here. Just a reminder to my listening audience: I am not a chemist! Adam presents as a careful researcher and his findings seem interesting and compelling to me, but again, I'm not a chemist. Listen in and hear what he has to say . . .

Entheogenic Religious Rights lawyer, Greg Lake, returns to the Entheogenic Evolution Podcast this week to discuss a pro bono case he's currently litigating in Detroit where a Black-run entheogenic church has been raided and shut down. Greg tells us all about the case and why he feels it's important for broader issues in religious freedom.
