In this podcast, Polly and Mike have a fascinating and frank conversation with Dr. Bolte Taylor about awakening and brain functions, as well as about the role played by psychedelics in today’s world. Jill raises concerns about the potential for brain injury and schizophrenia, especially in young adult users. She and Mike speak openly about the challenges and benefits of the widespread encouragement of using psychedelics for mental health in our current era in which many US states are debating the safety of making psychedelics widely available. In many ways, this conversation exemplifies the use of Real Dialogue as all three participants speak for themselves, listen mindfully to each other, and remain curious without necessarily agreeing on any or all points in this expansive exchange about awakening, the brain, and the social and psychological challenges and benefits of psychedelics on a large scale.There is no other conversation online that is quite like this one in its range, depth, and healthy disagreement.
