S.O.U.L. endeavors to further expand consciousness by sharing our experience from the MAPS sponsored Psychedelic Science 2017 conference, where the international scientific community came together at the Oakland Marriott City Center to explore new research into the benefits and risks of MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, ketamine, ibogaine, medical cannabis, and more for such applications as: psychotherapy, neuroscience, spirituality, creativity, and more…

The historic, global gathering featured three days of conference presentations, workshops, a sunset cruise on the San Francisco Bay, the Psychedelic Comedy Banquet, networking opportunities, a public marketplace and art gallery, and so much more.

It occurred to us that gathered in this Oakland hotel may be 3000 of the best positioned people to provide real systemic change in our world by having elevated their consciousness to a level of expanded perception that enables them to visualize what shift in our cultural paradigm would actually enable our human family to thrive together at last. And perhaps what those wielding their power over us and perpetuating the cycles of consumption, waste, and destruction fear most is a consciously aware, truly free humanity. If so, these could be some of the most dangerous minds on the planet, posing the greatest threat to the existing system of beliefs, having used the tool of psychedelics to liberate their consciousness from the constraints of the current cultural programming and value system.

Mike Crowley
The research for Mike’s latest book The Secret Drugs of Buddhism: Psychedelic Sacraments and the Origins of the Vajrayana began with his study of Buddhism in 1966 with a Tibetan Lama. In the book, he explores the historical evidence for the use of entheogenic/psychedelic plants within the Buddhist tradition. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines (including pharmacology, iconography, botany, and scriptural sources), he points out the central role which psychedelics played in Indian religions, tracing their history from the psychedelic drink “soma” of the Vedic period to “amrita”, the sacramental drink of Vajrayana Buddhism. Also covered are some of the methods used to ensure covert usage, such as disguising substances with names like “umbrellas” as code for psychedelic mushrooms. Mike’s works have been published in Fortean Studies, Time & Mind, the Journal of Archeology, Consciousness and Culture, Psychedelic American, and Psychedelic Press UK.

Everyone knows that something needs to change!!

…but how do we solve the big, persistent problems on a broad enough scale to nurture our entire human family?

Conscious Evolution
At S.O.U.L., we promote employing conscious evolution in both a personal and collective context. But what exactly is conscious evolution anyway? And why would we need it? What problems is it intended to fix, and will it work?

LOVE Paradigm
The LOVE Paradigm is a state of mind and the state of affairs into which we’d love to see and help our human family evolve. But what exactly is The LOVE Paradigm anyway? And is it even possible? What shift in thinking would it require?
