About The Episode 

How can profound psychedelic experiences reshape our understanding of reality and self?

Join Shiri and special guest, Martin Ball, PhD, as they venture into the avant-garde territory of the 'entheological paradigm’, a framework for understanding reality Martin developed as a result of his own 5-MeO inspired transition from a philosophical to an embodied non-dualist.

The conversation also navigates the complexities of presenting novel ideas within the psychedelic community, addressing cancel culture's impact on open dialogues around radical methods in psychedelic therapy. Martin’s insights into practical integration techniques highlight the importance of education before embarking on 5-MeO-DMT journeys – especially with respect to ‘reactivations’ – as well as awareness of the position of the body while processing strong energies during sessions and having a baseline understanding of non-duality.
