Very informative and written from a scientific perspective. Dr. Karl Jansen is very knowledgeable about this subject matter. I enjoyed this book.

This book really is an eye opener in various ways, it definately is a must have for anyone interested in psychedelic research.

Just what I was looking for.

Excellent resource for those of us who are serious about alternative paths to a higher mind. Not too technical, smooth read. Informative.

This is a basic overview of an interesting drug but you can find the same info at Erowid. com.I would not bother with this one.

Recommended reading as it is a goldmine of information as stated by Stan Grof on the back cover. I decided to buy the book as I had read The Scientist by John C Lilly in my late teens and was also interested in the Bardo Cycle teachings of Tibet, specifically dissolving of consciousness approaching death and later reading Marcia Moore's Journey Into The Bright World. My view is that the K experience is endogenous (see N-P Receptor that can happen without K as childhood experiences mirror the K experience. Also the K experience is a serial experience taking you out of body space beginning with high pitch ear ringing, heavy compression as if being squeezed between a mountain, experiencing yourself as if you are melting wax falling as a waterfall falls sensation, flowing down a tunnel at speed into a cavernous space, dream visuals, being part of a membranous bubble wrap expanding infinitely, being part of an eternally moving blob with infinite other beings, experiencing intense rays and an unbelievably complex dimension of moving shapes, coming back into body space the room one is in has lost its vertical hold and finally a whole body Novocaine type feeling/sensation. My personal view is that this is what happens on the approach of death.

Such an interesting read if you're into that sort of thing!
