Species transformation

Ask yourself, what is the finest that human beings can become? If we look ahead, what is the finest that human beings can be? And then imagine that the divine wants it to be like that, and it wants it to be even more than that. The question then is, how do we go...

Now, perhaps because of this strong collective orientation, I began to experience visions about humanity's evolutionary trajectory. I entered repeatedly into a state I describe as Deep Time—not eternity or timelessness, but a condition where you experience vast periods in a compressed frame, sometimes as a simultaneous now. I received teachings about humanity’s evolution...

I'm happy to let the psychologists and philosophers tear their hair out on that one. I'm willing to go with whatever definition they come up with, as long as it's broad enough to incorporate the total phenomenology of consciousness. Simply, consciousness comes from 'com' to 'know.' Consciousness is that with which we know. It...

Yeah, first, Stephen, thank you, buddy, for that very nice and warm introduction. I really appreciate our friendship, and I appreciate what you're doing with the conference, and Marc, you too. This is a great conference. It's my favorite psychedelic conference to participate in, and I always find it such a rich setting and...

And eventually you come out with a certain understanding, at least, of the large structure, the nature of reality. We're not simply creating a new society or a better society or a new economy or a new ecology. We are actually giving birth to a new form of the human species. I never expected...

Okay, so I just say 73 high-dose sessions. And I did this in a very rigorous fashion, following Stan's protocol. In my case, I used the same protocol, same set and setting, same substance, same dose level, same sitter, same recording process, and same location. I tried to standardize all the variables as much...

Again, it's a person who has written such an extraordinary series of books. When I was trying to understand, as I say in my notes here, when I was trying to understand why my psychedelic purification healing experiences had expanded so exponentially to include hundreds of thousands of human beings, the whole breadth of...

In December 1995, when I was deep into psychedelics, I had entered a stage I call the diamond luminosity material. I was halfway through years of work in this sublime diamond luminosity. Suddenly, I was dissolved into the species mind and underwent a process or experienced a death and rebirth of the human family....

My transition from an ego death process, which is very personal, related to what came over the next two years. It was a series of excruciatingly difficult, horrendous waves of vast landscapes of human suffering, war, violence, just unimaginable suffering. It was transitioned by an experience called the killing of the children. I just...

The cosmology that emerged for me was different. It was transcendence in service of incarnation, in service of deeper integration, allowing the universe's energy to live in the historical body. It also provided insights into where evolution is taking the human family. Initially, I thought it was personal transformation, but I realized it was...

It is challenging. There are mitigating processes too. The deeper your experience of the intelligence and joy of the creative intelligence manifesting existence, the more you see the universe as it is. The universe is the body of the Divine, the body of God. It's a manifestation of profound intelligence, and once you touch...

It is challenging. Yet, there are mitigating processes. The deeper your experience of life's intelligence, the joy of creative intelligence manifesting existence, the more you see the universe as the body of the Divine, the body of God. The universe is a manifestation of intelligence, a profound intelligence. Once you touch that intelligence, it...

If you diligently pursue this path, taking care of your body, communion with the intelligence within the species can occur. Over time, I began to have visions of the fate of the human species, downloaded in pieces over several years. These visions showed humanity coming to a turning point, a period of profound spiritual...

Then, in the 55th session, it took me into what I call the Great Awakening session. It took me deep into the future, allowing me to experience the death and rebirth of the human species. I don’t mean a physical death and rebirth but a sort of psycho-spiritual death and rebirth, though it did...

What I found in my psychedelic work when I began to open up into the collective psyche, and deep within the collective fields of consciousness, is that in addition to this individual story, there was a collective story that the entire human species, in some fundamental ways, operates as a single organism. There is...

In that context, let me just mention that some people have asked me why I focus on human beings so much and don't talk about experiences of other species. Of course, many people who work with psychedelics in a shamanic context have many experiences with other species, and I've had a few of those...

I think it's a very fair description. I think what ends is the involuntary nature of reincarnation, and we transition into voluntary incarnation. With that comes—I think our future incarnations are not the same as our past incarnations in this respect. The way I've languaged this, the way it was shown to me in...

It is a fast track, except it's a fast track that doesn't allow any bypassing. The fact that it's a fast track means it's a more intensely concentrated track. Purification, which in the conventional spiritual path would be drawn out over years, can take place within days, and as any woman who's given birth...

The teaching you're referring to is present but maybe not the full intention. My understanding of the ocean of suffering is different. Not everyone has to face the hell realms or spend as long as I did. It manifested so quickly and was so tenacious in my experience. I think this was literally a...

After I finished my dissertation, I realized that future important contributions to my field, philosophy of religion, would come from experiential rather than purely intellectual inquiries. Upon reading Stan Grof’s Realms of the Human Unconscious, I became convinced that LSD and psychedelics could safely explore consciousness, far beyond one's personal unconscious. Before too long,...

Well, we're going to start with the first module. There's seven modules. The first module is going to be on methodology. I'm going to lay out the method, answer people's questions, address their misgivings about psychedelics, explain what psychedelics do and don't do, and specifically address the particular protocol I used because it was...

If you're willing to bear humanity's suffering within an expanded awareness, not as Chris Bache but as the species, a transformation registers in both the individual and the human species' awareness. Processing pain heals humanity, much like individual trauma healing. After two years, my experiences didn't return to this level; I operated beyond the...

For there to be a profound collective awakening, there must be a profound purification. In session 55, which took place in 1995, I was taken deep into the future. I apologize for the seemingly absurd nature of this description but, if you've been with me so far, you'll go with me here. I experienced...

I don't know the answer to that question. That's kind of a sociological and historical question. I think there are more hidden saints than we might appreciate, but I also believe, in a fundamental way, that the age of private enlightenment is coming to an end. It's not that individual enlightenment work is unimportant—it...

First, I want to celebrate your receiving the terma of the Gene Keys. Reincarnation is a cycle with an incarnational bottom half and a spiritual top half, populated by layers of beings. Just as human communities are here, spiritual beings and teachings assist our gestation. Understanding this deep evolutionary trajectory of the soul and...

Yes, that was another surprise. Physicists tell us linear time is not the only way time moves. Some particles move backward, and time behaves differently in certain conditions. In super string theory, there are non-linear dimensions of the universe. In deep, non-ordinary states, I—and others—experience different time modalities. Early on, over seven sessions, every...

We open ourselves as we purify ourselves, we open ourselves into the cosmic arms, into the embrace of our own history, into the sacred communion, which is taking us forward out of this century. I think a new humanity is coming, the future human. You know, I call it the birth of the diamond...

I also experienced my life as a completed whole and was taken back to the universe's beginnings, receiving teachings about humanity's evolutionary trajectory. Eventually, the suffering ended, and I encountered archetypal reality—more real than time and space. I spent a year and a half exploring this realm, learning the collective psyche's workings and how...

In these years, messages emerged, showing the profound spiritual awakening on our horizon, undertaken voluntarily as part of a cosmic plan inspired by divine love. Though clear answers weren't provided on how this leap would occur, these visions framed this historical project. As my psychedelic journey continued into the Diamond Luminosity work, I encountered...

Hmm. Let me just kind of lay out some of the sequences, the categories. When I got to the end of the journey, well, I went through what I experienced as a series of punctuated death and rebirth experiences. I would break into a new level of consciousness. I would then stabilize at that...

No beginning. I have to think about that. You know, that doesn't ring a bell. I'd have to...

Hi, everyone. Thank you, Jessica and Travis. Thank you for this opportunity to share my work with the participants in Trust Psyche. It's truly an honor to do so. It's also an overwhelming task because this book covers so many dimensions of consciousness. It covers so many years of work, and when I talk...

Let me back up a little bit to give context, and then you bring me back. If I don't get back to it, bring me back to this—the birth of the future human. I found that when I was working with these very high levels of LSD—and again, this is a protocol that I...

Yeah, well, archetypal reality brings to mind Plato and Carl Jung in his work on the collective unconscious. Plato's ideas suggest a reality behind the physical world that informs and organizes the fundamental structures of the physical world. It's an order beyond physical reality. Carl Jung, of course, talks about archetypes and the collective...

Where things went next was unexpected. After ego death, things should get lighter, but instead, I entered a domain of extraordinary suffering—collective suffering—over two years, systematically deepening until I became all human beings of our species over 100,000 years, understanding it's not personal death but a transformation process for the human species. Through communion...

There was tremendous pressure building, an acceleration of consciousness dynamics, and detoxification through the reincarnation of generations. This was not merely influencing individuals but the entire human species—a collective dynamic. The vision showed we are coming to a great awakening, with an exponential increase in our psychological and psychophysical capacity. However, it gave no...

And then in the second phase, I went through a series of initiations in which I was taken deep into the mind of the universe and just given a series of teachings and given a series of experiences, it basically grounded me in a larger cosmological vision of reality. After about two years of...

When I went into the next phase, the next two years of work, I entered a domain of extraordinary collective suffering. I entered systematically deeper and deeper. I was taken into just an orgy of pain and suffering. It seemed to comprise all the wars of history, all the droughts, all the famines. It...

In Dark Night, Early Dawn, I kept the perinatal vocabulary to describe these collective ordeals, but I tried to stretch the rationale for their appearance. I proposed that a person's experience of the perinatal domain could tilt or slant towards either the personal or the Transpersonal side of that interface. If your perinatal experience...

Reoccurring and deepening theme of my psychedelic work went on for many, many years, and a big hunk of it I put down in the chapter in Dark Night, Early Dawn, in the Great Awakening chapter. But it kept on going after that. In the last three sessions of the series—I didn't know it...
