Diamonds from Heaven: Exploring the Mind of the Universe with Christopher M. Bache, PhD

What is the meaning of life? Can we really understand the nature of time and space or the structure of the universe? Is reincarnation real? Get ready for an extremely edgy episode of Insights at the Edge! Listen in as Tami Simon speaks with educator and author Chris Bache about his book LSD and the Mind of the Universe and the vast implications of the period in which we’re living.
This fascinating and gripping podcast delves into the purification of awareness and surrendering the ego; embracing pain and suffering; the overlapping enterprises of spiritual awakening and cosmic exploration; our collective evolution and midwifing the future human; the accelerated and intense process of development unfolding in humanity; reincarnation and the phenomenon of “deep time”; the multiple modalities of existence in our universe; spiritual traditions with an “up and out” perspective; the birth of “the diamond soul”; potentiating our enormous and divine creative power; dharmakāya, the clear light of absolute reality; the continual work of integrating experiences of cosmic proportions; taking a gentler approach to personal and spiritual growth; and much more.
This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.

His book, The Living Classroom, was the very best book on teaching I have ever read. I have a Masters in Ed. and have taught adults for decades.

I'm a HUGE fan of Christopher Bache and the wisdom he is sharing with the psychedelic movement. I love seeing this content being explored by Sounds True!! It's so clear psychedelics can serve as a catalyst for spiritual evolution

This book IS a page-turner. A thrilling transmission into Oneness.

Tami, your enthusiasm about his book is delightful. I’m getting it right now!

I’m interested in trying LSD for therapeutic purposes, to treat PTSD and OCD. And on another note, I was with my mother when she died and was glad to hear about the deep relaxation that occurs as one is transitioning. I felt distressed witnessing this but it was obvious my mom wasn’t at all. Her passing was natural.

There is a doctor protocol available online somewhere, that described dosing a 1/6th to 1/8th of a single square, one of those 1/8th slivers as a full dose, once every three days. See if you can find the full protocol. For example, on day one you dose, skip day two, skip day three, day four/day one, dose again. I had good success in my mid 20s with that, in combination with psychoeducation and diet. I was able to go to work and college and function, but the dose day colors seemed brighter, I was more social, and I was not so terrified. In retrospect, that might have been the healthiest timeframe of my life so far, considering the entire body/spirit/mind as a whole.
I recommend David Burns, "Feeling Good," or his later book, "Feeling Great," for the education piece to start with, if you can't work proactively with a therapist at this time. Tim Fletcher on CZcams "causes of depression," is a list of things that we have some control or influence over, that can set a person's lifestyle up for or against depression and despairing sort of feelings. List those out, work on those, as you're able. Also on CZcams, Ted talk "Finding Peace (The Peace
Index)" will give you another way to consider those lifestyle aspects that can influence our mental wellbeing.
After you've addressed some lifestyle things and feel okay with it, try to see if you can get into a recovery group, of any kind. There are plenty for all sorts of things. A group will function as a "safe place" where you can practice new connection & problem solving skills and mind frames, without needing to interact with someone in your family who might react negatively to any change in your role/behaviors. (The symptoms you mentioned indicate that someone close to you during your childhood had an addicted or otherwise dysfunctional mindset, perhaps a grandparent, sibling? Unhealthy responses undermine our motivation to use the more functional methods). Groups help us try on, fine tune, and gain confidence in navigating the number one trigger- other people!! Kids are also very open to trying out different skills, if you have a younger kid in your life. My toddler helps me practice!!
Diet wise, I ate a lot of bananas for serotonin, as well as a lot of greens and nuts, and I tried to stick to low glycemic index foods. I do not have any diabetic concerns, but I knew my brain feels best when my sugar levels are stable during the day.
I hope something out of this helps you. Know that it not a magic solution. However, along with the other methods, following the doctor protocol I found online helped me to feel excited about life, for the first time in my adult life. That was about a decade ago, and I'm still benefitting from some of the goals I put in motion during that timeframe.
