However, the opposite has proven true. A psychedelic renaissance is rapidly emerging with transformational festivals like Burning Man and BOOM!, a resurgence of positive media coverage on entheogens' benefits, and a growing number of celebrities acknowledging their personal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the revived university research, the resurgence of psychedelic philosophy, and the increasing popularity of visionary art, these developments signify the start of a worldwide psychedelic cultural revolution more integrated into the mainstream than the 1960s counterculture uprising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his book, James Oroc defines the borders of 21st-century psychedelic culture through the influence of its three main architects—Shulgin, McKenna, and Grey—and illustrates facets of this “Second Psychedelic Revolution.” This includes microdosing in extreme sports and the tech-savvy psychedelic community around transformational festivals, along with the relations between the ego, entheogens, and toxicity. For the first time, he presents a “History of Visionary Art” detailing its importance to visionary culture's emergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExploring entheogens' practical role in our selfish and fast-paced modern world, Oroc explains how psychedelics are powerful tools to examine the ego and the shadow via the transpersonal experience. He argues that cultural adoption of the entheogenic perspective offers our society the best chance to survive. The ongoing psychedelic revolution, a century old since the first synthesis of a psychedelic in 1918, holds the potential to birth a new Visionary Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868895400172,"sku":"9781620556627","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27242713482764.jpg?v=1759775100"},{"product_id":"tryptamine-palace-by-james-oroc-9781594772993","title":"Tryptamine Palace","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe venom from \u003cem\u003eBufo alvarius\u003c\/em\u003e, an unusual toad found in the Sonoran desert, contains 5-MeO-DMT, a potent natural chemical similar in effect to the more common entheogen DMT. The venom can be dried into a powder, which some researchers speculate was used ceremonially by Amerindian shamans. When smoked, it prompts an instantaneous break with the physical world that causes out-of-body experiences completely removed from the conventional dimensions of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eTryptamine Palace\u003c\/em\u003e, James Oroc shares his personal experiences with 5-MeO-DMT, which led to a complete transformation of his understanding of himself and of the very fabric of reality. Driven to comprehend the transformational properties of this substance, Oroc combined extensive studies of physics and philosophy with the epiphanies he gained from his time at Burning Man. He discovered that ingesting tryptamines unlocked a fundamental human capacity for higher knowledge through direct contact with the zero-point field of modern physics, known to the ancients as the Akashic Field. In the quantum world of nonlocal interactions, the line between the physical and the mental dissolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e5-MeO-DMT, Oroc argues, can act as a means to awaken the remarkable capacities of the human soul as well as restore experiential mystical spirituality to Western civilization.
