My favorite read in 2024…

Book cover of The Unanswered Question: Death, Near-Death, and the Afterlife

Wade Richardson I ❤️ loved this book because...

It expanded my awareness of what is possible after life. Kurt Leland triangulates data from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, various religions, the Near Death Experience literature, and decades of his out-of-body travels to compile what may happen to us after death.

Few have taken up the challenge of such a complex and mysterious subject and answered the challenge with such depth of knowledge.

My 2nd favorite read in 2024…

Book cover of Runaway Realization: Living a Life of Ceaseless Discovery

Wade Richardson I ❤️ loved this book because...

It took me into the realm of infinity. A truly expansive and psychoactive book, Almaas explores how the experiences of consciousness lie in a totality where realizations are boundless and endless. We all exist within this much larger, living expanding, mysterious wholeness where individual revelations will never cease.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024…

Book cover of Psychedelic Integration: Psychotherapy for Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness

Wade Richardson I ❤️ loved this book because...

It expanded my understanding of both the benefits and challenges of working with psychedelics. In the new psychedelic renaissance, there is a need for comprehensive and interdisciplinary resources to integrate all forms of psychedelic experiences, especially when the focus of psychedelic usage is on psychotherapy.

Aixala's work is a foundational contribution to this field.

Don‘t forget about my book 😀

The Psychedelic Mindmeld: Telepathically Exploring Shared Consciousness

By Wade Richardson,

Book cover of The Psychedelic Mindmeld: Telepathically Exploring Shared Consciousness

What is my book about?

My book teaches psychonauts how to work in pairs to telepathically share consciousness and explore the nature of the universe. Shared consciousness allows participants to jointly engage in each other’s unconscious contents, super-consciousness, and non-duality. Co-melders can fully experience each other’s emotions, contribute to processing and releasing each other’s traumas, jointly journey to other worlds and dimensions, meet discarnate beings, and finally drop into the infinite, non-dual “Clear Light Mind.”

It is an advanced self-guided manual that provides techniques for entering the mindmeld, a map of the territory of consciousness to be explored, safe set and setting, challenges and how to overcome them, potential results, and a format for debriefing and integrating telepathic sessions.
