The Development of the Psychedelic Individual

"Psychedelic experiences are characterized by a sudden, spasmodic, transitory nature...which leaves the individual enthralled, but somewhat let down when it is over. Illumination, however, is a steady state when the art of controlling the experience has been mastered. But like the display of adventitious psychic powers, 'natural' psychedelia is not valuable unless followed up by action and development." - J.C. Gowan

This book contains Gowan's most complete assessment of psychedelic experiences and their potential to help the individual grow and break through barriers. Gowan dubbed it a "book for the 21st century" and his work here is rigorous as he embraces both science and mysticism.
