The Entheogenic Evolution
Martin W. Ball
Welcome to the Entheogenic Evolution Podcast, hosted by author Martin W. Ball, Ph.D. This podcast is dedicated to the discussion of the nondual and unitary nature of being as revealed by conscious entheogenic energetic awakening as well as hosting long-form conversations on diverse and broad topics in psychedelics, therapy, philosophy, science, and culture. Featuring interviews, lectures, and conversations with leading figures in psychedelic research and culture as well as those who are new to the space and just starting to articulate their public voice, this podcast is a pioneering source of diverse information and perspectives. The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast is one of the longest running podcasts on psychedelics, having been first established in 2008, and has been a leading source of information about 5-MeO-DMT since its inception. Given the long history of the podcast, guests and topics serve as indicators of where psychedelic culture is changing and growing as psychedelics become more accepted in the mainstream. In addition to interviews and talks, host, Martin Ball, also shares selections from his many audiobooks, recordings from events and conferences he's organized, and shares his own original music at the conclusion of each episode and his original art for cover images. You can support this podcast by joining up as a contributing member at Patreon.com/martinwball. Martin is also available for individual consultations, mentorship, and integration work for clients in need of reflection and support. His original books are available in paperback, ebook, and audiobooks, and focus on nonduality and 5-MeO-DMT.

Episode 183: A Conversation with Hal from the Temple of Awakening Divinity
The other week "Hal Lucious Nation" and I recorded this conversation for inclusion in my new book, "Facilitating 5-MeO-DMT: An Anthology of Approaches to Serving The God Molecule." The transcription of the conversation comes as an appendix in the book, and the first chapter in the book after my Editor's Introduction is a more direct account of how the Temple of Awakening Divinity, "TOAD," operates. Here, Hal shares how he was first introduced to 5-MeO-DMT, how he got started with TOAD in late 2007, and how he and I established our personal relationship and dynamic of 5-MeO enthusiasts from different sides of being public versus private. Intimate, illuminating, and fascinating, this conversation is sure to keep your attention.
