Episode notes
Early LSD Experiences
- Deepak Chopra's first LSD experience in medical school involved a disconcerting loss of identity.
- His second experience, while looking at a Mother Teresa poster, evoked profound compassion and a desire to alleviate suffering.
Non-Local Consciousness
- All experiences occur within consciousness, not the brain, and are referred there.
- Consciousness, being formless and boundless, exists outside of spacetime, implying our true identity is also non-local.
Psychedelics and the Conditioned Mind
- Psychedelics and meditation loosen the neural correlates of the conditioned mind, allowing access to reality without thought.
- Systems of thought, including science and religion, can hinder access to this fundamental reality.
