99th Monkey Eliezer Sobel
Santa Monica Press 159580028X / 9781595800282 Paperback New
While a romp through the New Age is not everyone's cup of tea novelist publisher and editor Sobel (Minyan) does a fine job making his 30-year quest for spiritual awakening widely identifiable with a funny clear-eyed account that takes readers around the world and through a gauntlet of gurus shamans workshops and retreats not to mention sex and drugs (legal and otherwise). Sobel's twin assets are his willingness and his sense of humor both apparent from the start in his encounter with a guru named Ram Dass whose first instruction to Sobel is to take off his pants (So I did). Other episodes include Primal Therapy training with a teacher who rents his office space for porn production the est training that teaches people to accept reality as it is (and then rope everyone they know into the program) and tours through Jerusalem India and Brazil. Sobel's spiritual journey doesn't provide any answers (these days the title on his business card is Human Being) but provides lots of engaging regular-guy perspective on modern man's confounding array of ancient and contemporary fulfillment schemes.

A Biography - Timothy Leary Robert Greenfield
Harvest Books 0156032066 / 9780156032063 Paperback New
To a generation in full revolt against any form of authority, "Tune in, turn on, drop out" became a mantra, and its popularizer, Dr. Timothy Leary, a guru. A charismatic and brilliant psychologist, Leary became first intrigued and then obsessed by the effects of psychedelic drugs in the 1960s while teaching at Harvard, where he not only encouraged but instituted their experimental use among students and faculty. What began as research into human consciousness turned into a mission to alter consciousness itself. Leary transformed himself from serious social scientist into counterculture shaman, embodying the idealism and the hedonism of an age of revolutionary change. Timothy Leary is the first major biography of one of the most controversial figures in postwar America.

Adventure Of Self-Discovery Stanislav Grof
State University of New York 0887065414 / 9780887065415 Paperback New
Stanislav Grof was chief of psychiatric research at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center and an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. After more than thirty years of studying nonordinary states of consciousness Grof has concluded that the avenues of exploration available to our psyches via holographic interconnectedness are more than vast; they are virtuallly endless. Initially Grof investigated the clinical uses of the hallucinogen LSD at the Psychiatric Research Institute in his native Prague Czechoslovakia. It quickly became clear that serial LSD sessions were able to expedite the psychothereapeutic process and shorten the time necessary for the treatment of many disorders. But LSD opened up much more than just issues involving their illnesses and included experiences of reliving what it was like to be in the womb explore what it was like ot be other living things and even other objects able to tap into the consciousness of their relatives and ancestors accessing racial and collective memories in past history and occassionally related uncannily accurate precognitive information. In an even stranger vein they sometimes encountered nonhuman intelligences traveled to what appeared to be other universes and other levels of reality. Perhaps Grof's most remarkable discovery is that the same phenomena reported by individuals who have taken LSD can also be experienced without resorting to drugs of any kind. Grof and his wife Christina developed a simple nondrug technique for inducing these nonordinary states of consciousness. They call their technique holotropic therapy and use only rapid and controlled breathing evocative music and massage and body work to induce altered states of consciousness. Grof describes his current work and gives a detailed account of his methods in this book.

Ayahuasca Joan Parisi Wilcox
Park Street 0892811315 / 9780892811311 Paperback New
A comprehensive autobiographical account of the transforming experiences possible with ayahuasca- Reveals the protocols of a traditional ayahuasca retreat and the importance of its ritual diet, isolation, and sacred songs- Relates an extensive personal account of the traditional indigenous use of ayahuasca for healing and revelation"Ayahuasca: The Visionary and Healing Powers of the Vine of the Soul "is an autobiographical account of the author's work with ayahuasca, a potent and sacred plant brew of the Amazon region that is known for its extraordinary visionary and healing powers. As she learned from her experience, with the help of ayahuasca we are able to grasp our paradoxical nature, the first step to acceptance of ourselves in both our glorious and dark aspects. Ayahuasca teaches us how to release the illusions we hold about ourselves and makes it possible to integrate our many diverse aspects to acquire our true power. This book reveals the ritual protocols that must be followed prior to partaking of ayahuasca, including the traditional preparatory "diet"--which requires enduring austere conditions, isolation, and only small amounts of bland food before receiving the powers of the plant spirit from an "ayahuasquero, " a healing master--and the sacred songs, "icaros," that are sung when imbibing the substance. Although the use of ayahuasca is growing among "underground" spiritual seekers and through the burgeoning ayahuasca tourism trade in South America, few of its seekers understand how it is used traditionally and the importance of the rituals the indigenous people follow. With this book, the author hopes to restore the importance of these indigenous practices so that we may truly understand all the gifts of ayahuasca.

Blue Tide: The Search For Soma Mike Jay
Autonomedia 1570270880 / 9781570270888 Paperback New
In the beginning there was soma. The Rig Veda, the earliest sacred text of the ancient Indo-Europeans, includes dozens of hymns in praise of this psychedelic plant which, when drunk, takes its subject to the realm of the gods on its blue tide. BLUE TIDE tells the story of the search for soma, and uses a diverse range of approaches -- travel and ethnography, science and narrative history, detective story and first-person drug experiences -- to examine the question of its nature and identity. In doing so, it sheds light not just on the identity of soma, but on the broader mystery of the original relationship between psychedelic drugs and religion. BLUE TIDE, more than any other book I've read, satisfactorily answers the plethora of queries concerning the history of drugs as a means to soul searching, attaining spiritual enlightenment, and getting off one's face. Read it before you get high. Read it before you die -- Howard Marks, author of MR. NICE.

Buzzed Cynthia Kuhn, Scott Schwatzwelder, Wilkie Wilson
W. W. Norton & Company 0393329852 / 9780393329858 Paperback New
Together, the first two editions of Buzzed have sold over 120,000 copies and now the authors have revised and updated the book to include the most recent discoveries about drugs, including new information on the energy drinks craze, prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Ambien, and the date-rape drug GHB. Scientifically accurate and easy to read, this no-nonsense handbook gives the most balanced, objective information available on the most often used and abused drugs, from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to heroin, Ecstasy, and methamphetamine. In both quick-reference summaries and in-depth analysis, it reports on how these drugs enter the body, how they manipulate the brain, their short-term and long-term effects, the kinds of high they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly. Neither a Just Say No treatise nor a How to manual, Buzzed is based on the conviction that people make better decisions with accurate information at hand.

Can't Find My Way Home Martin Torgoff
Simon & Schuster 0743230116 / 9780743230117 Paperback New
Weaving together first-person accounts and historical background, "Can't Find My Way Home" is a narrative vast in scope yet rich in intimate detail. Torgoff tells the stories of those whose lives became synonymous with the drug culture, from Charlie Parker, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, and John Belushi to ordinary people who felt their consciousness "expanded" or who plumbed the depths of addiction. He also examines the broader impact of drugs on society and politics, from the war on drugs to the recovery movement, and the continuing debate over drug policy. A vivid work of cultural history that neither demonizes nor romanticizes its subject, "Can't Find My Way Home" is a provocative and fascinating look at how drugs have entered the American mainstream.

Cosmic Game Stanislav Grof
State University of New York Press 0791438767 / 9780791438763 Paperback New
For more than 40 years Grof has tried to present the insights from his research in non-ordinary states for the general public as well as for scientific colleagues. And actually he should rank with Freud and Jung as a very important ground-breaking figure. And as everyone knows who have had the pleasure of seeing him in person he surely radiates the spirituality he is talking about. And the reason he hasn't got the recognition he deserves is undoubtly the narrowmindedness and fanatism of the ruling materialistic paradigm.
