Summary

There has been a revival of interest in psychedelics & hallucinogenic drugs. But are they a path to enlightenment or a spiritual dead end? Ashley Lande was heavily into psychedelics until bad experiences led her to abandon the drugs and embrace Christianity. Dr Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes is a philosopher who argues for the value of hallucinogens as a way of expanding our consciousness. Justin also chats with Ben Jacobs about the new Genexis events in Coventry and London http://www.genexis.org./tickets For Ashley Lande's essay: https://www.fathommag.com/stories/acidhead-god-took-me-higher For Ashley's website: https://www.ashleylande.com For Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes: http://www.philosopher.eu For exclusive resources and to support us: • Support (USA): http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support (rest of the world): https://resources.premier.org.uk/supportunbelievable • For our newsletter https://www.premier.org.uk/Unbelievablenewsletter • For our blog: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievable-the-blog • For the podcast: http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable • Facebook https://www.facebook.com/UnbelievableJB • Twitter https://twitter.com/unbelievablejb • Insta https://www.instagram.com/justin.brierley
