Psychedelics in Religion
Mind Shift with Daniel Pinchbeck
Featuring Alex Grey & Michael Muhammad Knight
Premiers Tuesday, 24 September
Many religions have used various mind altering substances to connect with a creative mind, far beyond the limits of our five senses. In this inaugural episode, host Daniel Pinchbeck talks with Alex Grey and Michael Muhammad Knight about the historical and future role of psychedelics and religion.
Artist, Alex Grey talks about the use of LSD as a creative tool that which creates a visionary mystical experience to connect with sacred reality. Then, author Michael Muhammad Knight offers his view of Islam that is considered controversial to some. Even more controversial was his profound experience with ayahuasca and the divine feminine. Both agree that bringing psychedelic sacrament back into religions would initiate a reemergence of the divine feminine and bring balance to the masculine dominance found in prominent religions in this inaugural episode of the new series Mind Shift.
