Entheogen: Awakening the divine with (trailer)

Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within is a feature length documentary which invites the viewer to rediscover an enchanted cosmos in the modern world by awakening to the divine within.

The film examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstacy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness,electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds. Within a narrative framework that imagines consciousness itself to be evolving, Entheogen documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions: How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis? What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche? How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn? Entheogen invites the viewer to consider that the answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to awaken to the divine within.

Stan Grof, Marilyn Schlitz, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey, Terrence McKenna, John Markoff, Daniel Pinchbeck, and Kat Harrison among others, postulate how the disenchantment of the modern world may be remedied by summoning the courage to take the next leap in the evolution of planetary consciousness.

If we became free thinkers and opened our horizons they ( fed reserve, independent bankers) would lose control. They need to keep us stupid, miserable and fearful. I say lets brake the chains and stand up for what we believe in.

In my experience, whereas entheogens can help to facilitate an awakening experience, they cannot prepare the mind to receive it. I would strongly recommend a regular meditation practice for at least two years before a "heroic dose." If you can control your mind, and your concentration is sharp, then the odds of being overwhelmed to the point of harm are much smaller.

Great to awaken and clean the doors of perception. But not sure about this gloomy vision of there being more hatred now than before. Human existence has always been bloody, in fact, if anything, at least in the western world we toned it down from massacre murder and torture to mere intimidation. We used to burn people at the steak for holding different beliefs and throw poop out of the window just a few hundred years ago! We are definitely getting kinder to one another, just very slowly...

psychedelics act by stimulating the central nervous system thereby acting as a physical AND mental stimulant which most people need to attain a pinnacle of happiness, understanding, and coordination. group dosing is preferable as a collective consciousness develops that can escalate each spirit into the group spirit, thusly unifying everyone involved. this is heaven.
