15 snips Feb 12, 2024
Psychedelic researcher and author James Fadiman discusses the concept of the 'self' as a collection of personalities, challenging the idea of a unified self. He explores monotheism in different religions, personality theories, multiple personalities emerging from childhood trauma, and the collaboration with psychotherapists to navigate the psyche. Fadiman also discusses radical transpersonal theory suggesting the mind can exist independently of the body, drawing insights from Buddhist perspectives and belief systems like Christianity.
