Archaeological studies have found evidence of ritual consumption of psychoactive plants among native cultures in South America. However, the evidence is fragmentary, preventing researchers from piecing together a coherent picture of hallucinogen use in ancient South America. Melanie Miller et al. (pp. 11207–11212) analyzed the chemical makeup of artifacts in a 1,000-year-old ritual bundle...

The Consciousness of Reality

Information—Consciousness—Reality 2019 J. Glattfelder

Finally, the human mind faces its own nature. By extending the information-theoretic paradigm, the informational nature of consciousness is uncovered. This gives rise to the very first formal description of consciousness. In attempts to bridge the chasm between the objective and subjective, scientists and philosophers have opened up to the unspeakable. The nature of consciousness, as has been...

Kambô: A Shamanistic Ritual Arriving in the West - Description, Risks and Perception by the Users

International Journal of Psychology and Psychoanalysis November 14, 2018 Hesselink Jan M Keppel 7 citations
