My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Unanswered Question: Death, Near-Death, and the Afterlife

Wade Richardson ❀️ loved this book because...

It expanded my awareness of what is possible after life. Kurt Leland triangulates data from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, various religions, the Near Death Experience literature, and decades of his out-of-body travels to compile what may happen to us after death.

Few have taken up the challenge of such a complex and mysterious subject and answered the challenge with such depth of knowledge.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Runaway Realization: Living a Life of Ceaseless Discovery

Wade Richardson ❀️ loved this book because...

It took me into the realm of infinity. A truly expansive and psychoactive book, Almaas explores how the experiences of consciousness lie in a totality where realizations are boundless and endless. We all exist within this much larger, living expanding, mysterious wholeness where individual revelations will never cease.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness

Wade Richardson ❀️ loved this book because...

It expanded my understanding of both the benefits and challenges of working with psychedelics. In the new psychedelic renaissance, there is a need for comprehensive and interdisciplinary resources to integrate all forms of psychedelic experiences, especially when the focus of psychedelic usage is on psychotherapy.

Aixala's work is a foundational contribution to this field.

The Psychedelic Mindmeld: Telepathically Exploring Shared Consciousness

By Wade Richardson ,

Book cover of The Psychedelic Mindmeld: Telepathically Exploring Shared Consciousness

What is my book about?

An experienced psychonaut's guide to telepathically sharing consciousness

* Teaches you how to work in pairs to meld your consciousness and explore the inner universe together with the help of psychedelics

* Presents techniques for entering and maintaining a psychedelic mindmeld, including holotropic breathing and Vipassana meditation

* Looks at safe set and setting for psychedelic telepathic work, including preparations, finding the right partner, safety protocols, and potential challenges

Many psychonauts have spontaneously experienced telepathy, but how does one intentionally share consciousness? In this guide to psychedelic mindmelding, experienced psychonaut Wade Richardson shows how, with the aid of psychedelics, sharing consciousness is possible.

Drawing on years of personal experience with mindmelding, Richardson teaches you how to work in pairs to telepathically share consciousness and explore the inner universe with the help of psychedelics. He details techniques for entering and maintaining a telepathic mindmeld, including Vipassana meditation practices and holotropic breathwork, and explains what to expect during your sessions as well as presenting a map of the territory of consciousness to be explored. He also looks at safe set and setting for telepathic work, including dosages, types of psychedelics, physical and mental health preparations, structuring the session, finding the right partner, safety protocols, and potential challenges.

Sharing accounts from the many sessions he has participated in or facilitated, the author shows how mindmelders can fully experience each other's emotions, help process and release each other's traumas, jointly travel to other worlds and dimensions, and enter into the non-dual infinity of what Buddhists call "Clear Light Mind." He stresses that this process not only makes visible the shadows you carry, but also those of your fellow psychonaut. Offering guidance for debriefing and integrating telepathic sessions, he recommends treating these experiences as something more akin to a dream and, like the fluid nature of a dream, open to different interpretations.

As Richardson reveals, psychedelic journeying with a partner can help you shatter illusions, expand consciousness, dissolve our egoic separations, and enable a cooperative exploration of non-duality.
