James Fadiman was one of the early pioneers of research on LSD. His main focus was on its effects on creativity and spiritual vinsight, but the government shut down all such research in the 1960s, and he was unable to pursue his work. Forty years later, however, far more evidence linking psychedelics to spiritual states has accumulated. This evening, Fadiman will look back at the findings of earlier psychedelic research and then argue that we must restore religious freedom (to investigate the roots of faith), scientific freedom (to explore mind-brain-body functioning) and personal freedom (to carefully and responsibly gain self-understanding), if we are to make further discoveries about human consciousness using these powerful tools.
