This looks like an extraordinary book--on my list of must-reads this year.

A Psychedelic Molecule Controls Your Consciousness at the Moment of Death, New Theory Suggests Some researchers believe DMT, a powerful psychedelic that may naturally occur in the brain, could be your soul’s “ferryman.”

On the possible psychopompic nature of DMT(s) in the dying brain, along with plenty of caveats. An interview I gave for Popular Mechanics on the differences between 5-MeO-DMT, DMT and near-death-experiences as they relate to, actually, a quite old theory.

The Man Who Broke Reality In search of America's most daring psychonaut

The Man Who Broke Reality: America's most secretive psychedelic crime story:

Blurry image of Gordon Todd Skinner, the government operative and psychonaut.

Some people sit across from you, answer questions. Others try to run you like a program. Skinner did both. At Joseph Harp Correctional, I watched him calibrate me like an instrument. He’d gauge reaction times, eye contact, word choices. You don’t interview Skinner. You enter the equation.

I have decided to abolish the Department of Human Beings.

Halpern is something else, I've interviewed him at length before. I guess you probably know Leonard got busted violating the terms of his release at Burning Man... an unlucky place!

The first paid post actually starts next week! I will post every two weeks after that. And yes--you will be able to hear Skinner discuss very advanced chemistry protocols and judge for yourself.

Thanks for sharing that pic Pamela! Great to meet you... Leonard is looking good in those photos!
