The late great
Dr. Timothy Leary
was engaged in a program of experiments with
LSD
and other psychedelic drugs at Harvard
University until sensational national publicity
unfairly concentrating on student interest in
drugs led to the suspension of the experiments.
Since then, Dr. Leary continued his work on
exploring the human consciousness through the
use of psychedelics until his death.
Ralph Metzner's
book,
The Psychedelic
Connection,
uses Dr. Leary is research as an instructional
manual that can be used to help those undergoing
a psychedelic experience on how to achieve
enlightenment while traveling through the
various levels of consciousness resulting from
the psychedelic experience.London researcher
Karl Jansen,
M.D., Ph.D., and Member of the
Royal College of
Psychiatrists,
is the world's leading expert on
ketamine.
He has studied ketamine at every level: from
photographing the receptors to which ketamine
binds in the human brain, while earning his
doctorate in clinical pharmacology at the
University of Oxford, to publishing papers on
his discovery of the similarities between
ketamine's psychoactive effects and the
near-death experience during his study of
medicine in New Zealand. His book,
Ketamine: Dreams and
Realities,
describes his research of psychedelic
experiences with ketamine and its connection to
the near-death experience.
