The Psilocybin Solution
by: Simon G. Powell

PROLOGUE: Who or What Killed Einstein? - In which the fierce and ultimately fatal face of
Nature is outlined. It appears that each of us, temporarily orchestrated out of physics, chemistry
and biology, be enmeshed within a relentlessly sophisticated evolutionary process, a process which,
for some reason, the Universe was always poised to sustain. Along with Mr Einstein (before Nature
consumed him), we bravely ask why the Universe should be endowed with such a remarkable
capacity? Why on Earth should Nature have facilitated the eventual emergence of consciousness?
What kind of a phenomenal tease is this? We rightly demand that Nature provide us with some
answers! The seed of a new idea is here planted - namely that altered states of consciousness
derived from wholly natural environmental resources can allow us to interface more intimately
with such a user-friendly reality process. In this way, we might really get some answers as to the
point of it all……

CHAPTER ONE: Consuming God’s Flesh - When you go down to the woods today be sure you
know your shamanic history. Introducing our main man Robert Gordon Wasson and his extensive
ethnobotanical research into the historical use of entheogenic fungi and how he eventually came to
unearth the extraordinary vision-inducing Mexican psilocybin mushroom in the 1950’s. This
adventurous man thus warms us up for the main features to come. Nature, by jove, turns out to be
wilder than we could possibly imagine, and, more importantly, inherently transcendental. The
natural alchemical substance psilocybin, an alkaloid still new to Western science, reveals itself as a
potential key to unlocking the mysteries of consciousness.

CHAPTER TWO: An Ancient Form of Communion - Details concerning the use of psilocybin
mushrooms by the once mighty Aztec and Mayan civilisations. The alluring conjecture that the
spiritual impulse originated from our ancestors’ ingestion of vision-inducing plants is also
introduced.

CHAPTER THREE: Psilocybin flows in and out of the Western Mind - The true story of how the
60’s got rolling on the back of an entheogenic mushroom.

CHAPTER FOUR: Investigating the Earth’s Alchemical Skin - We learn more about the shamanic
use of entheogenic plants as well as previewing the second wave of human-based psychedelic
science.

CHAPTER FIVE: The Mushroom and the Synapse - In which we delve into the neuronal
architecture of the brain so as to comprehend more fully the nature and potential dynamics of
consciousness. Meet the neuron, the synapse, the neurotransmitter, and the cunning route through
which psilocybin operates.

CHAPTER SIX: The Stuff of Consciousness - The mystery of the mutable human mind is cracked
open and served up on a plate of profound implications. We see how the symbolic visionary
dialogue induced by entheogenic agents represents the coalescence and integration of vast amounts
of information. The felt presence of the transcendental Other is then delineated in informational
terms.

CHAPTER SEVEN: A Universe of Information - The mind/body dualism of Descartes is laid to
rest, as information reveals itself as the fundamental stuff of Nature with consciousness itself
representing a particular pattern of information embodied within the neuronal substrate of the
brain. An attempt is then made to conquer an understanding of the essential nature of information.

CHAPTER EIGHT: Does the Universe Compute? - If the entire reality process can be understood
as a dynamic flow of information (consciousness included), then what on Earth governs the ongoing
evolution of such an informational system or computation as it must surely be? We boldly
investigate.

CHAPTER NINE: Wrestling with Reality - The mystery of our smart and obligingly intelligible
Universe is openly debated. Evolution by natural selection is re-interpreted as being the
manifestation of Natural Intelligence, a property of Nature which ensures that information is
continually integrated and organised. It thus emerges that a smart algorithmic code be inherent in
the very contextual fabric of Nature. Upon reflection, it would appear that we have never had it so
good, especially once we begin to apprehend our true situation at the hands of Natural Intelligence.

CHAPTER TEN: A Neo-Shamanic Climax - A casual word on the Omega Point and the surprise
lurking at the end of history. In particular, are we the means through which the transcendental
Other awakens?

EPILOGUE: Trick or Treat? - A practical guide to ascertaining the truth of my fantastic claims
for, Goddess knows, I could have been wrong all along.

Product Description:

The six reviews in this volume cover once again a most comprehensive range of topics. The anti-malarial activity of the 8-aminoquinolines is examined, with an eye to the development of a single, broad-spectrum drug. Chelation, important in removal of toxic metals from the body, is reviewed for tripositive elements. A new and promising approach to total parenteral nutrition is described. Our indebtedness to the plant origins of many modern drugs is noted in the context of new chemicals. Heterosteroids and receptor-specific opioid peptides constitute two further topics, each case highlighting the wide range of relevant biologically active compounds. Yet another volume challenging the staggering diversity of the field of medicinal chemistry.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0444899898
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780444899897

Product Description:

In this volume, the medicinal chemistry of the rapidly expanding family of retinoids, of promising semi-synthetic erythromycins and of the multifaceted amidines is reviewed. Another chapter continues the coverage of inorganic elements which have a medical role; recent studies on the various biological roles of manganese are also examined. Inhibition of enkephalin-degrading enzymes is reviewed, as are studies of the digitalis recognition site which are expected to lead to the development of more highly selective inotropic drugs. This work should be of value to medicinal chemists, pharmacists and pharmacologists. It should also be appreciated by all newcomers, as well as those who wish to be kept up to date with recent work on these topics.
