What is a healing journey
Claudio Naranjo was a Chilean psychiatrist He was co developer of the Enneagram of Personality His studies and investigations oftenly focused in the search of spirituality to find mental stability and also some times the use of lisergic substance to free hidden and harmful thoughts. Ebook the healing journey pdf This is a review of both The Healing Journey and My Psychedelic Explorations both by Claudio Naranjo The Healing Journey was written decades ago so its approach to psychedelic therapy may no longer seem so pioneering but it is an interesting historical compilation of first hand accounts and of Naranjo s meta reflections on some entheogenic substances that may feel only tangentially familiar to us today whether because the chemical compounds he describes MDA and MMDA have generally been replaced by other synthetic drugs MDMA because we nowadays speak of a generic category harmaline in terms of specific instances like the harmaline containing plant medicine ayahuasca or because a psychedelic in the case of ibogaine has not yet attained prominence in the United States Bill Richards in his still recent work Sacred Knowledge makes the surprising claim that the mystical properties of all psychedelics are virtually the same and that the substances differ only in the details like onset time While Naranjo s division of entheogens into three categories is perhaps a little too schematic influenced as he was by the tripartite structure of the Enneagram he makes a compelling claim that these are different medicines with different spiritual effects My Psychedelic Explorations on the other hand is a recent work A compilation of talks essays and other reflections he s penned over the years it is at times quite redundant I had to wonder at the ego that was at work in his boast that he hadn t edited it much in order for his insights to shine through in their original form But this work as distinct from The Healing Journey delves into some extended meditations on the relationship between psychedelic experience and religious practices and mystical states of consciousness as described by other spiritual traditions these reflections on the theory and phenomenology of mysticism were erudite and conceptually quite interesting to me and they were noteworthy among some of the other works I ve read on psychedelics Kindle Edition
