Mindfulness practice leads to altered states of consciousness. Who knew?! Someone please tell the Buddhists. A perfect example of Western science ignoring centuries of research from other cultures. bps.org.uk/research-digest/m…

Some of the most interesting work on #psychedelic #therapy is emerging from the humanities. This thought-provoking paper is a perfect example.
Excited to share a new paper written with @NicolasLanglitz on psychedelic therapy as form of life. We consider the ethics of PT from philosophical and anthropological perspectives, exploring some emerging controversies 1/ link.springer.com/article/10…

For my new mailing list, I wrote about speaking at SXSW this weekend, and I shared some background context for a recent post (led by @TehseenNoorani for Harvard's Petrie-Flom Center's "Bill of Health" blog) about the risk of "ethics washing" underground psychedelic lineages.

A wonderful intervention. So much weirdness this way comes...I am incredibly relieved to see some serious thinking on the juxtaposition of AI and the esoteric.
Its the dawning of the "The Age of (the Algorithmic) Aquarius" from @ShardayCM and @JLoewenColon as they explore "How AI Meets Our Esoteric Needs" muse.jhu.edu/pub/3/article/9…

Love this, @dradrianharris!
How were your celebrations? Whatever you did, ritual played a key role. Ritual works below the level of consciousness, changing the what or how of our embodied knowing. The transformative power of ritual inspired a project I’ve just launched. adrianharris.org/blog/2024/0…
