Do we all remember the 2020 study testing psilocy Do we all remember the 2020 study testing psilocybin in a mindfulness group retreat? Well..here's a documentary for those who haven't read it yet. 🫠 In 'Descending the Mountain,' inspired by Robert M. Pirsig's words, a Zen monk and a neuroscientist explore Zen with a twist – magic mushrooms. This captivating documentary, akin to 'Fantastic Fungi,' is now streaming on Gaia and available for rent on Amazon Prime. It unveils a rare psilocybin study blending science and spirituality. Cameras capture the Felsentor experiment at a Swiss mountain retreat, where Zen master Vanja Palmers collaborates with neuroscientist Franz Vollenweider. They administer psychedelics to 20 meditators while 20 others receive placebos. Published in Nature in 2020, the study's insights are matched by the beauty of the film, featuring breathtaking mountain vistas and the personal journeys of Palmers and Vollenweider shaped by psychedelics.

An example of difference in perceptions... Conser An example of difference in perceptions... Conservative media personality uses the quarterback's injury as an excuse to rant against ayahuasca, which he deems "a crummy substitute for God." “He lost the eye of the tiger,” Kelly told his viewers while replaying footage of the Jets quarterback being sacked by Leonard Floyd of the Buffalo Bills. “Something happened to this guy. And I think I know what it was—drugs!” “He got involved in psychedelics, this ayahuasca tea; something like that, that gives you this, ‘Oh, I love you bro,’ kind of mentality,” Kelly continued in his rant. “It’s not good, and he took it, and he encouraged others to do the same, and I think it was a very harmful message.” Drugs have long been a conservative scapegoat, but this instance is particularly puzzling, and therefore amusing, because ayahuasca was not on the field, nor was it in Rodgers' system. What was there, as clear as day, was a 240-pound linebacker plowing into the 39-year-old QB from behind, packing extra strain on a previously injured calf. #football #psychedelic #media #spiritscience #spiritmolecule #sports #news
