MDMA-assisted psychotherapy shows promise as a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a chronic and disabling condition. Existing evidence-based therapies have significant limitations. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted MDMA "breakthrough therapy" status in 2017 after preliminary Phase II results. Phase III trials are underway, with anticipated FDA approval in late 2023. This review covers the evidence base, pharmacology, proposed causal mechanisms, risks, limitations, and future directions for this treatment.
Contemporary scholarship increasingly positions Pierre Teilhard de Chardin as a progressive theologian who integrates faith and science through cosmic evolution and Christogenesis. His concepts of the noosphere, Christogenesis, and the Omega Point form a framework of evolutionary mysticism connecting spirituality, collective consciousness, and ecological responsibility. Within a post-secular context, Teilhard's thought offers a model of religiosity that reconciles scientific rationality, technological development, and the search for spiritual meaning. The study proposes the concept of Cosmic Post-Secular Theology as a theoretical contribution for understanding religion amid ecological transformation and technological advancement.
