### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Of particular interest for anyone who has, is, or may use psychedelics?
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 January 2016*

This 'manual' was initially published back in the early mid sixties- i.e. before the hallucinogens were made illegal. My vague historical understanding of the period has Leary and Huxley arguing for the use of L.S.D. but while Huxley supported usage by an elite of creatives, Leary slowly shifted position from limited use in academic research by the therapeutic community to a much broader use by the community at large and a 'revolution in general cultural consciousness'. The book seems to have been written/published midway by Leary and purports to be an invaluable manual for the safe and serious use of psychedelics (to be read and re-read prior usage and remembered during sessions) for spiritual growth. It contains history, theory, detailed description and explanation, positive suggestions for use in terms of dose, set and setting and also includes 'excerpts' of The Tibetan Book of The Dead to help guide those attempting to experience hallucinogens. The general tone of the book is very positive and reassuring. The darker side of hallucinogenic experience is also discussed on several occasions throughout the text with explanation and remedies for them too.I found the second section, where the detailed descriptions of the Bardos and the experiences which may be expected such as hallucinations, of particular interest but also greatly compromised in terms of clarity by the adaptation/setting for Kindle which is poor. This leads to the text being interrupted mid-paragraph on pretty much every page by page headers. Spacing also seems to have gone out the window so that this section of the book in particular can seem dense and turgid. I also found some of the other benefits of using Kindle, such as instant access from text to online dictionary and other cultural/historical information, were lacking in this instance but given market forces maybe understandable... Hence my three star rating.Historically as a document of countercultural aspiration for spiritual experience this is of great interest. For anyone who has, is, or may use psychedelics and experience hallucinations it will be of perhaps greater use in helping them understand and bring meaning to those experiences in a broader spiritual/historical context.

    Psychedelic exploration guide
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 April 2021*

A great and historical book. I remember getting a hardback copy from the local library and studying it closely when I should have been concentrating on my GGCSEs.If psychedelics interest you this book is well worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great for anyone interested or journeying themselves
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 August 2013*

It was worth a read, and Leary was a cool guy who knew how to enjoy himself. He was most certainly a capitalist of the moment, to put it mildly, that's for sure. I can say, to summaries the whole book, if you're going to trip or take an entheogen, just relax and go with the flow, never let your ego run away with the show. Taking any mind-altering substance, if you do decide to go down this path, it's always best to take great care and do some research before-hand. I wish I had read this book as a youngster, for obvious reasons.
