The Entheogenic Evolution Martin W. Ball

We return to the audiobook of my novel, The Solandarian Game, for the next two chapters this week of 7 and 8. Ash assumes a rescue at Black Rock City Station is eminent, only to be stunned when Humanist Avatar Hydar and his family step out of the quantum translation portal. Someone's got some explaining to do . . . You can pick up a full-color PDF version of the AI-illustrated novel at my Patreon Shop

My guest this week is author Paul Karasik who's here to discuss his newly released book, Getting High on Leadership. In addition to being an author, Paul is from the old school psychedelic world who has found new life in the modern psychedelic movement and is the founder of the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles and is the organizer of the Psychedelic Awakening event in LA, which got started in 2023 and will be returning for 2024. In this interview we discuss his early experiences with psychedelics, his renewed interest in the "psychedelic renaissance," and of course, his new book.

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.

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.
