Psychedelics Show Amazing Promise as Cure for Addiction, Anxiety, Trauma and Even Fear of Death
‘A certain phrase often mentioned in any gathering where the topic is psychedelic science comes from Huxley’s final novel, Island. Ever the wordsmith, he borrowed one component from Indian philosophy (moksha, referring to emancipation or freedom from the cycle of birth and death) and added medicine, so that moksha-medicine becomes a balm for treating afflictions both physical and spiritual. A mushroom-based hallucinogen, this elixir is not consumed with casual disregard on Huxley’s fictional island. I recently reread the novel and was surprised to see how Huxley gives us a prescient glimpse of moksha-medicine at work today.
Eager to snag a good seat, I arrived early in Pasadena to hear a talk about “Psychedelic Science: From ’60s Counterculture to Modern Medicine,” a forum sponsored by Southern California Public Radio station KPCC on a warm September night in 2014.’
