Einstein Quote

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein - (1879-1955)
Psilocybin should only be taken with a spiritual mindset in a supportive environment.

'A new understanding: the science of psilocybin': panel discussion following screening of the documentary

Panel discussion following screening of the documentary 'A new understanding: the science of psilocybin'
14 April 2015 Austin, Texas: Approx 1.5 hours on YouTube

Note (11/21/2015): the full documentary 'A new understanding: the science of psilocybin' is now available on YouTube.

Panel discussion
Audacious, courageous, heroic! These are some of the audience comments to the panel of researchers involved in current psilocybin research. If you have an interest in what is the most promising research currently being carried out in Behavioral Health, watching this panel discussion composed of leading Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and a Pharmacologist from eminent Academic Institutions across America will not disappoint. Researchers discuss profoundly positive study results that are not being demonstrated with any other therapies. Another plus is psilocybin does not need to be taken over and over although there is some evidence that routine microdosing leads to hippocampal neurogenesis without affecting normal daily functioning (microdosing not in discussion).

The panel discussion followed a screening of the documentary 'A new understanding: the science of psilocybin' (watch trailer). Besides the distinguished panel members, the audience was a highly informed bunch with some very penetrating questions.  Panel members:

Jeffery R. Guss MD
New York University Psychiatry

Charles S. Grob MD
UCLA Psychiatry

Anthony Bossis PhD
New York University Psychiatry

William (Bill) A. Richards PhD
Johns Hopkins Clinical Psychology

David Nichols PhD
Purdue University Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology

Quotes from the discussion:

"We are not part of the 'counter culture', it is the culture, so the discourse is a medical one"
