Setting God Free

Moving Beyond the Caricature We've Created in Our Own Image

Father Seán ÓLaoire

In this book, Father Seán ÓLaoire puts God on trial for crimes against humanity, using the Torah/Pentateuch as evidence. The book is divided into four parts: Setting Psychology Free, Setting God Free, Setting Spirituality Free, and Setting Science Free. It delves into how we know what we know, decide what is true, and organize our beliefs into a coherent paradigm. The author, drawing from his background in mathematics, clinical psychology, and Catholic priesthood, offers a unique perspective that integrates science, spirituality, and personal experience to redefine the concept of God[2][3][4].

Doors of Perception

Aldous Huxley

In this book, Huxley recounts his first psychedelic experience with mescaline in May 1953. He describes how the drug altered his perception of the world, making ordinary objects and experiences take on profound aesthetic and philosophical significance. Huxley draws on various philosophical and spiritual traditions, including those of William Blake, Meister Eckhart, Plato, and Buddhism, to contextualize his insights. The book challenges conventional views on perception and reality, suggesting that certain substances can reveal deeper aspects of existence that are normally filtered out by the human brain's 'reducing valve'[1][2][4]

LSD and the Mind of the Universe

Diamonds from Heaven

Christopher M. Bache

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[1][3][5].
