The Joyous Cosmology: Adventures in the Chemistry of Consciousness -- Alan Watts

<b>A classic account of the psychedelic experience</b> <p/><i>The Joyous Cosmology</i> is Alan Watts's exploration of the insight that the consciousness-changing drugs LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin can facilitate "when accompanied with sustained philosophical reflection by a person who is in search, not of kicks, but of understanding." More than an artifact, it is both a riveting memoir of Watts's personal experiments and a profound meditation on our perennial questions about the nature of existence and the existence of the sacred. <p/><i>Includes Watts's article "Psychedelics and Religious Experience"</i><br><br><b>Author:</b> Alan Watts<br><b>Publisher:</b> New World Library<br><b>Published:</b> 04/30/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 119<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781608682041<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Spiritual philosopher <b>Alan Watts</b>, student of Buddhism, Anglican minister, chaplain at Northwestern University, and author of more than twenty books, died in 1973.</p>
