Dirty Pictures- Shulgin Documentary

Alex Shulgin is probably most known as the person who first synthesized MDMA, but Shulgin is the godfather of many other psychedelics. Yet this documentary in my opinion is not about Alex Shulgin the psychonaut, what it really is is a movie about the psychedelic love story of Alex and his wife Ann.

Manna - psilocybin mushroom inspired documentary

Uploaded by psybinetic on 30 Apr 2011

Releasing this 'vintage' creation of mine in conjunction with the publication of my book The Psilocybin Solution - see http://www.simongpowell.com
Make sure you watch it at at the highest res'.

A beautiful, profound, and passionate documentary by Simon G. Powell; Author of Darwin’s Unfinished Business, Metanoia, and The Psilocybin Solution. This documentary will be a joy to watch for Psilocybin lovers and informative for those who have still not been introduced to this mystical fungus.

After graduating from UCL in 1992, Simon G. Powell suffered an extended bout of ‘mushroom fever’ brought on by excessive psilocybin use. After this ‘mushroom fever’ subsided, he was left with a curious case of chronic biophilia. This soon developed into chronic gaiaphilia. This condition, which turned out to be permanent and quite stimulating, led him to write a number of unorthodox books – including The Psilocybin Solution and Darwin’s Unfinished Business. He also felt compelled to write and direct two radical film documentaries: Manna and Metanoia.

This film investigates the controversy that surrounded Castaneda's book "Teachings of don Juan" and explores the practices of today's Yaqui Indians with Dr David Shorter, who has spent the last decade working among them in Mexico.
An investigative journalist claimed Castaneda had faked his fieldwork and that Don Juan was merely a figment of his imagination.

DMT - the Spirit Molecule

The much awaited documentary film on DMT titled "The Spirit Molecule" is finally out ... with Navigator, Joe Rogan !

The Spirit Molecule weaves an account of Dr. Rick Strassman's groundbreaking DMT research through a multifaceted approach to this intriguing hallucinogen found in the human brain and hundreds of plants, including the sacred Amazonian brew, Ayahuasca. Utilizing interviews with a variety of experts to explain their thoughts and experiences with DMT, and ayahuasca, within their respective fields, and discussions with Strassman’s research volunteers, brings to life the awesome effects of this compound, and introduces us to far-reaching theories regarding its role in human consciousness.

Several themes explored include possible roles for endogenous DMT, its theoretical role in near-death and birth experiences, alien-abduction experiences, and spiritual states, both within Eastern concepts of enlightenment and Western ideas regarding prophecy, and the uncanny similarities in Biblical prophetic texts describing DMT-like experiences. Our expert contributors offer a comprehensive collection of information, opinions, and speculation about indigenous use of DMT, the history and future of psychedelics within the research community, and within the larger social matrix, and current DMT research. All this, to help us understand the nature of the DMT experience, and its role in human culture and evolution.

The subtle stimulating combination of science, spirituality, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy within the film’s approach sheds light on an array of ideas that could considerably alter the way humans understand the universe and their relationship to it.

John C. Lilly - The Scientist

John Cunningham Lilly (January 6, 1915 – September 30, 2001) was an American physician, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher and writer...and DUUDE!, just look at that hat!...

He was a pioneer researcher into the nature of consciousness using as his principal tools the isolation tank^[1], dolphin communication, and psychedelic drugs, sometimes in combination. He was a member of the Californian counterculture of scientists, mystics and thinkers that arose in the late 1960s and early 70s.

He published 19 books in all, including The Center of the Cyclone which describes his own LSD experiences and Man and Dolphin and The Mind of the Dolphin which describe his work with dolphins.

In the mid and late 1970s he was an adviser to film maker George Lucas.^{[citation needed]}

In the 1980s he led a project which attempted to teach dolphins a computer-synthesised language. Lilly laid out the design for a future "communications laboratory" that would be a floating living room where humans and dolphins could chat as equals and where they would find a common language.

He envisioned a time when all killing of whales and dolphins would cease, "not from a law being passed, but from each human understanding innately that these are ancient, sentient earth residents, with tremendous intelligence and enormous life force. Not someone to kill, but someone to learn from." ^[9] In the 1990s Lilly moved to the island of Maui in Hawaii, where he lived most of the remainder of his life.

His literary rights and scientific discoveries were housed within Human Software, Inc., while his philanthropic endeavors were channelled through the Human Dolphin Foundation. The John C. Lilly Research Institute, Inc. continues to research topics of interest to Lilly.

Cannabis Cures Cancer

...ain't no hiding the flood of new evidence in clinical trials on cannabis, it's curing all cancers it is tested on, it's the universal panacea we've been looking for, CASE CLOSED...

...http://RevolutionNews.US -- March 2010 - My name is Rick Simpson. I have been providing people with Hemp Oil medicines, at no cost, for about three years. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Throughout man's history hemp has always been known as the most medicinal plant in the world. Even with this knowledge, hemp has always been used as a political and religious football. I want this knowledge out there for everyone to learn! Watch the documentary Run From The Cure to understand more about using cannabis as a cure for cancer and other medical problems!
The current restrictions against hemp were put in place and maintained, not because hemp is evil or harmful, but for big money to make more big money, while we suffer and die needlessly. Look at a proposal such as this; if we were allowed to grow hemp in our back yards and cure our own illnesses, what do you think the reaction of the pharmaceutical industry would be to such a plan?

Many large pharmaceutical companies that still exist today sold hemp based medicines in the 1800's and early 1900's. They knew then what I have recently found out. Hemp oil if produced properly is a cure-all that the pharmaceutical industry can't patent.

To learn more about my and hemp oil, visit http://PhoenixTears.ca and watch the documentary Run From The Cure. Below the posted videos you will find more studies and research about cannabis curing cancer!

Heaven Earth (2008)

..."Heaven Earth - a film by Rudolph Amaral & Harald Scherz" portrays in epic sequences an exploration into the amazonian urban- and suburban field of "curanderismo"(practice of latinamerican folkhealing), in and around the city of Iquitos.

"Heaven Earth" is a nexus of links, a network of stories, symbols, lived-in-worlds and different drafts, which they represent in a heterogenous way - a hybrid arrangement of "surreal ethnography" - a patchwork of experimental art film, intermingled with indepth social survey and surrealist storytelling.

Personal approaches and backgrounds of persons, linked to the phenomenon of contemporary amazonian curanderismo are introduced...

...The protagonists reveal personal experiences, dreams, mental-imagery and annotate their understanding on the topic of "shamanism".

Amazonian "vegetalistas" (plant specialists) recount episodes of daily life and their career histories. Amazonian tourists and visionseekers report about interior spaces, motifs and passages of their journeys.

Representatives of the local tourism industry talk about guided tours, the psychoactive drink "ayahuasca", vanishing indigenous cultures and excursions into the surrounding rainforest of Iquitos, affected by the change of time.

Iquitos, fluctuating between 'tradition' and 'modernity' - a locus of cultural transition facing the impact of globalization and its sequences.

The film stretches a string between lived allday reality and the world of the "imaginary", both in continuous interexchange.
Collective and individual imagination blur and interweave to an synaesthetic collage...
