I’ll happily take any recs you have for reading material! Thank you Anything you’ve got specifically on the interactions and effects of entheogens on the brain would be particularly useful Also interested in comparisons between those states, meditation, and schizophrenia

read v1 years ago. helped set me off down the road. I think of it as Ingram's personal account of the path. Lots of detail to chew on. Was confusing as a beginner but got me juiced. I'd recommend other primary texts for those starting off.
