LSD and the Mind of the Universe

Diamonds from Heaven

Book • 2019

In this book, Christopher M. Bache chronicles his systematic journey into a unified field of consciousness that underlies all physical existence.

Following protocols established by Stanislav Grof, Bache conducted 73 high-dose LSD sessions over the course of 20 years, which drew him into a deepening communion with cosmic consciousness.

The book makes a powerful case for the value of psychedelically induced spiritual experience and discusses the challenges of integrating these experiences into everyday life.

It also explores how psychedelic experiences can lead to collective transformation and help birth the future of humanity.

Bache's journey reveals a spiral of death and rebirth, taking him through the collective unconscious into the creative intelligence of the universe, and ultimately to a realization of Divine Oneness and the Diamond Luminosity that lies outside cyclic existence.
