The essence of the mind is consciousness. It emerged early during evolution and ontogeny appears to follow the same process as phylogeny. Consciousness comes from multiple sources, including visual, auditory, sensorimotor and proprioceptive senses. These gradually combine during development to build a unified consciousness, due to the constant interactions between the brain, body, and...
Our Love Affair with Drugs January 10, 2020 J. Winter
We will consider just two drugs in this chapter. They are phencyclidine and ketamine. Both are widely used as anesthetic agents, ketamine in humans and phencyclidine in animals. The acronym for phencyclidine that we will use, PCP, comes from its chemical name 1-(1-PhenylCyclohexyl)-Piperidine. In addition to their medical use, both ketamine and PCP have gained roles as recreational drugs or, as...

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a semisynthetic compound with solid psychoactive properties. Chemically related to serotonin LSD was initially hypothesized to produce a psychosis-like state.1 Afterward, LSD was accounted for to have benefits in the treatment of addictions. However, far reaching unpredictable use and reports of unfriendly impacts brought about the arrangement of LSD as an...

Our journey teaching, researching, and organizing mindfulness programs did not begin with a focus on trauma or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Instead, my (David Kearney’s) aim nearly 15 years ago was to offer mindfulness programs with the hope that teaching mindfulness would mitigate the suffering of patients with chronic medical conditions. Although the system in which I practice...

This paper focuses on the characteristics of one of the key types of Taoist tradition – хian, which is usually inaccurately translated as “immortal”. Based on a number of texts of Taoist traditions Lingbao, Shanqing and Quanzhen, the paper shows that the acquisition of the state of xianhood is not connected with physical immortality, but based on the deep transformative and transpersonal...

Abstract The secondary literature on religious epistemology has focused extensively on whether religious experience can provide evidence for God’s existence. In this article, I suppose that religious experience can do this, but I consider whether it can provide adequate evidence for justified belief in God. I argue that it can. This requires a couple of moves. First, I consider the threshold...

Serotoninergic hallucinogens include drugs such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and psilocybin. Recent trials with single/few doses of these compounds show that they induce rapid and sustained antidepressive, anxiolytic, and antiaddictive effects. These effects are also observed in religious groups using the DMT-containing brew ayahuasca. The agonist action of...

Abstract This chapter reviews the literature on the effects of adolescent cannabis use on cognition, wellbeing and the neuroethical implications for societies across the globe. Given its widespread use and availability, cannabis use in adolescence may impact the developing brain, manifesting in cognitive, psychiatric, academic and social changes, thus raising neuroethical concerns. We review...

BACKGROUND: Although evidence from psychosis patients demonstrates the adverse effects of cannabis use (CU) at a young age and that the rate of CU is high in subgroups of young violent patients with psychotic disorders, little is known about the possible effect of the age of onset of CU on later violent behaviors (VB). So, we aimed to explore the impact of age at onset of CU on the risk of...

MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a psychoactive substance classified as a hallucinogen. MDMA acts in the brain through a variety of neurochemical mechanisms, reducing anxiety, giving a sense of oneness with other people, expanding empathy, sharpening the senses and intensifying the experience of emotions. Therefore, the use of the MDMA assisted psychotherapy is being considered in...
