Olen katsonut tämän pätkän useampaan otteeseen vuosien varrella. Edelleen tolkullistinta asiaa psykedeelien hyötykäytöstä mitä on tullut vastaan. Muuten miehen ymmärrys sielullisesti kasvustaa sopii kovasti omaan kokemukseeni.

“Psychedelics, Psychotherapy, and Change”Horizons 2010: Neal M. Goldsmith, Ph.D. - Psychedelics, Psychotherapy, and Change on VimeoIs psychedelic therapy a useful tool for lasting change in adults? Specifically, can psychedelic therapy:
Repair malfunctions in natural development?
Speed up the natural developmental process?
Trigger immediate transformative change into novel areas?
What do we mean by change? Maturation? Development through a series of stages? What about transformation? Is change even the right goal for psychedelic therapy? Might release be a more appropriate objective?
To understand the process of personality development and how psychedelic therapy facilitates maturation, we return psychology to its origins in the study of the psyche, or soul, and outline a psychotherapy based on “psycheology” – a clinical philosophy based on development, not pathology, and focused on love, unity, and the perfect nature of the soul.
We will close with a discussion of the long-term implications for a society that embraces the psycheology worldview and integrates the mature use of psychedelics to facilitate psychospiritual development on the individual and societal levels.
