Defend Your Psychedelic Library!

Knowledge is power.

And those in power know it.

That’s why, in this moment—when books are being banned and burned, when government websites are being scrubbed, and when almost everything we read is digital, editable, and erasable—we need to protect what matters most.

Because if we don’t own the books, we risk losing the truths inside them.

This is a core pillar of Psychedelics Uncensored:

We can’t let the knowledge that transformed lives, expanded minds, and healed generations be rewritten—or deleted.

And few have done more to preserve our radical library of awakening than Synergetic Press.

Since 1984, Synergetic has been broadcasting ideas deemed too disruptive, too spiritual, or contrary to the status quo for the mainstream. Books that whisper secrets of the earth, shout truths about consciousness, and offer blueprints for a new planetary culture.

These aren’t just words on paper—they’re sparks from the last psychedelic revolution, reignited just in time to light the fire of the one happening now.

🔥 Whispers From the Last Revolution

Synergetic Press has built a sacred library for the psychedelic revolution—one book at a time.

They’ve published the raw, uncensored voices of visionary leaders at times when no one else was willing to work with them. 

Some of our favorite “dangerous authors” include:

• 📘 Albert Hofmann — The father of LSD reminds us that molecules can be spiritual teachers.
  

• 📕 Ram Dass — From Harvard to India to eternity, Synergetic helps keep the “Be Here Now” ethos alive.
  

• 🎨 Alex Grey — Psychedelic mysticism made visual—Grey’s art opens the third eye wide.
  

• 💞 Ann Shulgin — Emotional healing, heart-opening compounds, and the legacy of love through chemistry.
  

• 🌿 Beatriz Caiuby Labate — Decolonizing psychedelics through Indigenous wisdom and academic fire.
  

• 🌌 Dennis McKenna — From ayahuasca to alien intelligence, Dennis brings science and story to the frontier.
  

• 🧠 Stanislav Grof — A pioneer of LSD psychotherapy and transpersonal psychology.
  

• 🕵️ William Leonard Pickard — Imprisoned alchemist, philosopher, and author of one of the most daring psychedelic memoirs ever written.

📖 A Journey Through Interoception

I’ve just finished reading How to Change Your Body: The Science of Interoception and Healing Through Connection to Yourself and Others, a book that’s completely changed the way I relate to the physical sensations of my body, especially during psychedelic experiences and healing from Trauma. 

Next week, I’ll share a summary and some lessons I’ve learned and applied.
