      "body": "I feel ya - I can be pretty skeptical and rational at times. Even though I have studied Transpersonal Psychology and find myself very deeply rooted in the philosophy, some of the New Age stuff I approach with caution. It gets kind of crazy! I think applying some science and rigor to these techniques and theories is important. It is definitely a delicate balance. When do you actually let go, trust the process, and have some faith in the unknown and when do you approach it with rigor, rationally, and some objective truth? \n\nOne interesting point that Stan Grof makes is that many of the health sciences - medicine, psychology, psychiatry, etc. are kind of stuck in this Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm while some other fields of science like physics have broken someone-what free from the Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm. What would medicine or psychology look like if we explored outside the mechanistic box that dictates these disciplines? Or is it even possible? \n\nThanks for following! If you want to check out more or stay up-to-date with our podcast, be sure to check it out online at psychedelicstoday.com or find us on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or like our Facebook Page. \nThere are so many channels to keep up with! I realized I haven't made a post here in about 2 months.. eek! I'll have to try and keep up with it! \n\nThanks again!\n-Kyle",

I am far too skeptical and rational to take the leap just yet, but I can enjoy the opportunity to learn when I'm wrong.

The *Textbook of Transpersonal Psychiatry and Psychology* defines these terms as follows:\n\n> Transpersonal psychiatry, therefore, is psychiatry that seeks to foster development, correct developmental arrests, and heal traumas at all levels of development, including transpersonal levels. It extends the standard biopsychosocial model of psychiatry to a biopsychosocial-spiritual one in which the later stages of human development are concerned with development beyond, or transcendent of, the individual….Transpersonal psychiatry and psychology address that universal aspect of human consciousness that is transpersonal experience and do not propound the belief of any one religion. (Scotton, 1996, p. 4-5)\n\nUltimately, transpersonal psychology allows the ability to view different cultural perspectives about reality. This can be achieved by observing and understanding various cultural beliefs as being a valid representation of that specific culture’s known reality (Scotton, 1996).\n\n> Transpersonal psychiatry allows not only that other vantage points (other societies) construct equally valid realities, but also that reality can be constructed in more positive directions with adequate techniques and personal development. (Scotton, 1996, p. 6)\n\nThe word transpersonal was first coined and used by William James in a lecture in 1905 (Chinen, 1996). During the mid-1960s a group of humanistic psychologists got together on behalf of Anthony Sutich, a pioneer in the field of transpersonal psychology, and the founding editor of the *Journal of Humanistic Psychology*. The meetings were held at Sutich’s home in California and consisted of topics that were of concern and dealt with issues that were known as transhumanistic, meaning beyond humanistic psychology (Chinen, 1996). Abraham Maslow was one of the main guiding participants for these meetings, and also a pioneer at the time for his theory of peak experiences. Peak experiences dealt with experiences that an individual might have that brings a sense of clarity or awakening to the person’s life. Stanislav Grof suggested the use of the term transpersonal at one of the meetings with Sutich, Maslow and the Austrian psychiatrist, Victor Frankl, for the newly emerging field of psychology soon to be known as the fourth force, or transpersonal psychology (Chinen, 1996). The meetings at Sutich’s house finally led to the announcement of the new field of transpersonal psychology in 1968, which separated itself from the humanistic approach of psychology (Chinen, 1996). The purpose of this new branch of psychology was to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness and spirituality.\n\nSutich is held accountable for the following original mission statement that is in the first issue of the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology:\n\n> The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology is concerned with the publication of theoretical and applied research, original contributions, empirical papers, articles and studies in meta-needs, ultimate values, unitive consciousness, peak experience, ecstasy, mystical experience, B-values, essence, bliss, awe, wonder, self-actualization, ultimate meaning, transcendence of the self, spirit, sacralization of everyday life, oneness, cosmic awareness, cosmic play, individual and species-wide synergy, maximal interpersonal encounter, transcendental phenomena; maximal sensory awareness, responsiveness and expression; and related concepts, experiences and activities. As a statement of purpose, this formulation is to be understood as subject to optional individual or group interpretations, either wholly or in part, with regard to the acceptance of its content as essentially naturalistic, theistic, supernaturalistic, or any other designated classification. (Chinen, 1996, p. 10-11)\n\nBasically, there are three points to this mission statement. The first is to have a focus on concerning issues that deal with experiences that are traditionally classified as mystical or religious. Second, there must be emphasizes on the use of empirical and scientific studies to help understand said experiences. And third, they seek to hold and suspend any beliefs regarding whether said experiences or phenomena are to be classified or dismissed as supernatural or not (Chinen, 1996).\n\n**References((:\n\nChinen, A.

Without interpreting the raw \"data\" that an experience will provide, there can be no application of any lessons about ourselves or existence. Personally, I had an experience that left me with a lot of questions immediately after and I can appreciate that for some, it may feel as though we were short changed when we approach such an experience to *answer*. It could be the instinct for some to attempt to seek more experiences, however without unpacking, there may be less opportunity for growth.  I am unsure how continually exploring would manifest, perhaps being caught attempting to learn the same lessons, or the person deciding this tool is not as capable as it can be...both outcomes would be unfortunate, for certain.",

Could it be these new technologies?\n\n**The rate of innovation now is way faster than it was when the internet was first coming out.**\n* You cannot keep up with what’s going on, there’s too much going on.\n* Look at money as a tool or form of energy.\n\n**Crypto will change everyone’s concept of paying taxes.**\n* Air BnB cut the cities completely out of the picture.\n* Taxes and healthcare or both extremely important and impossible for people to understand.\n* Internet privacy is a big deal in crypto and psychedelics alike.\n* Brian doesn’t think that Facebook will ultimately make it.\n\n**Developers want to build new tools to take down the giants like Facebook.**\n* Recently, Facebook announced a decline in users.\n* What can you do to reverse becoming “uncool”?\n* Reddit’s price per impression is much lower.\n* Steemit has a fascinating model.\n* It would be cool if you could be compensated for putting helpful content online.\n\n**We assume that the way the internet is now is how it’s always going to be.**\n* How can we use the tool to help the people whose lives aren’t privileged like ours?\n* In a lot of refugee camps, you can’t have cash, so crypto is huge for them.\n* What happens when people who are impoverished around the world can now crowdfund?",

I have found that in my small body of post graduate experience in typical applications, practicing a clinician has not been a great fit for my personal strengths. For this reason, I had not been terribly active in engaging with larger communities; I was unsure if I would continue in the field at all. All to say, I have a small professional network so few burns to bridge, if they were to be of such a mindset. \n\nI am up near the great lakes, I have noted a few groups in Chicago, just missed an event in Madison. This decision to commit is fresh and I'm early in my journey but the clarity and enthusiasm this pursuit has provided is extraordinary. After graduating, I knew I would have to find a way back to my true goal of research, just didn't know what type of studies I would attempt to align myself with.

      "body": "I think the hardest part about getting involved is \"coming out of the psychedelic closet.\" Since psychedelics continue to be illegal and carry a cultural taboo, it is difficult to talk about these interests, even in academic/professional circles. The research is a great place to start. Being a clinician, you definitely are in a great place and role to be an advocate for these medicines/substances! But I guess the question is, are you ready to come out to colleagues about your interests? Personally, being in graduate school with this interest has been difficult at times. Ironically, it almost cost me a practicum/intern placement, but also having some of these interests on my resume landed me an interview. I think the public and some professional fields are slowly warming up to these ideas. It is an exciting time to get involved! I respect your privacy, but also wondering where are you located? Wondering if there are any groups/meetups around your area to get involved in? That's a great first step! :) \n\nThanks for the support! \n\n-Kyle",

      "body": "![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcgUXYBYNb5HjxkezwuakmvN8t6aghk5v5ACzpfhkj3Ey/image.png)\n## Getting Involved: Introduction\n\nAs psychedelic research re-emerges from its dark ages, the world is beginning to learn about their healing potential for various psychological disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, or near-death anxiety due to terminal illness. This research is fascinating, exciting, and we believe psychedelics are promising tools and will be the future of medicine. So the question is, how does one get involved in this work?\n\nJoe and Kyle had the opportunity to talked with [Ingmar Gorman, Ph.D.](http://www.psychedelicstoday.com/2016/08/07/ingmar-gorman-mdma-psychotherapy-and-how-to-get-involved-with-psychedelic-research/) about how people can get involved in psychedelic research or in the field of psychedelics in general. Ingmar shared with us some really great information and we would like to recap some highlights. Some of the information provided is a mix between our own thoughts and what Ingmar mentioned. \n\n## First Thing First:\n\n1. Ask yourself, “Why am I interested in entering into the field of psychedelic research?”\n\n2. Do you want to get your foot in the door because you had an experience that changed your life or inspired you in some way? Did you have a healing experience that you want to share with others?\n\n3. Do you want to give back to the community in some way by furthering scientific research or inquiry? If so, what is your expertise and area of interest?\n\n4. What role can you play later on? Are there areas or specialties that need attention or growth?\n\n5. Understanding and asking yourself, “Why do I want to do this? What is my motive?”\n\nPersonal or transformational experiences may not always be the best option for pursuing an active career in researching psychedelics. Psychedelic experiences can be healing, transformative, and magical, but this does not mean you have to enter into the field of science or research. There may be other options that might suit your interests better. Obtaining a professional degree can be a well-worth investment with your time and money if that is surely a path that you wish to pursue. It is important to think outside of the box. \n\nAlso, an important thing to note here is that psychedelics are still illegal. While the research and science is happening, obtaining a research position is often difficult considering the limited amount of research. This is not to discourage any of you, but just saying it will require a lot of work! While  (MAPS)[www.maps.org] is projecting that MDMA will be legal for psychotherapy by 2021, it is still uncertain what the laws and regulations will be. We are hopeful that the future looks bright for psychedelic careers, we err on the side of caution as well. \n\n## Information for Everyone:\n\nAlong with asking the questions above, here is some general information or advice for individuals who not wish to pursue a traditional degree. We are all hardwired differently and earning a professional degree may not be in everyone’s best interest.\n\n* **Go to Conferences and Events:** As in any field, it is important to try and make it to a conference or an event. The reality of our world today is that most people get opportunities because they network and seek out the opportunities. **Conferences are great ways to network, promote your research or interests, and find the “others.”** This is a relatively small and intimate field, and many people are approachable. Chances are you will be exposed to the most up-to-date research, learn about multidisciplinary approaches, and probably meet a lot of great people. You do not have to be a researcher or student to attend, there is definitely a place for everyone at conferences. Here are a few popular events/conferences\n  * [Psymposia](psymposia.com)\n  * [Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics](http://www.horizonsnyc.org/)\n  * [MAPS](maps.org)\n  * [Beyond Psychedelics](http://beyondpsychedelics.cz/)\n  * [Breaking Convention](http://www.breakingconvention.co.uk/)\n* **The Non-Traditional Approach:** There are other ways to get involved that do not require the investment your time and money for a professional degree. Are you a visual artist? Do you produce music? An interviewer? Are you a product inventor? For example, Joe mentioned during the podcast that he did not feel the need to go on to pursue a mental health degree because he does not feel like being a therapist is the thing that he wants to do right now. Instead, Joe and I are creating this podcast as a resource for the community. The bottom line, is there anything that you can contribute or create for the field? Many researchers and scientists are not artists or graphic designers and the field needs art to help convey the visual experience. Look at Alex and Allison Grey or Android Jones for example.\n* **Develop an Expertise:** Whether you are taking a traditional or non-traditional approach, I think it is safe to say that developing an expertise is a smart approach. Develop an expertise that can translate well to psychedelic research. Ask yourself, “how can I help or what can I contribute?”\n* **Apply Your Skills:** Again, think about how you can develop an expertise and think about how your skills can be applied to the field. Are you an accountant or into finances? Maybe if Rick Doblin’s dream of psychedelic treatment centers become real in the future, we are going to need lots of people to manage everything.\nVolunteer: It does not hurt to reach out and develop a relationship with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Erowid, Zendo Project, or any other psychedelic organization. These organizations might be looking for a helping hand in a project or event. Volunteering can help you become connected with an organization, develop a relationship, and maybe help you land a job somewhere! Worst case scenario, you meet some awesome people.\n* **Create a Psychedelic Club or Society:** Local psychedelic clubs and societies are popping up all over the place. You can create your own too! You can check out our guide [Tips on Creating Your Own Psychedelic Group](http://www.psychedelicstoday.com/2017/11/08/tips-creating-psychedelic-group/)\n[![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV3MxSZXcxxP39MLZkmzskiUmUMBZ9iDvQqyyp1uUCtuS/image.png)](http://www.psychedelicstoday.com/2017/11/08/tips-creating-psychedelic-group/)\n* **Psychedelic Community:** Check out this new site, [Psychedelic.Community](https://psychedelic.community/) to connect with others. \n\n## Get Involved in Research\nThere are numerous ways to get involved in research projects. From self-report studies to actual participation, there are ways to get involved and possibly become a study participant. Here is a list of a few different options.\n\n* [**The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies:**](http://www.maps.org/participate/participate-in-research) If you are already not aware, MAPS is streamlining research for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. Check out their [Participate in Research](http://www.maps.org/participate/participate-in-research) page for more information about how to get involved in one of their studies\n* **The Third Wave:** [A self-report survey about psychedelics and worldview](https://thethirdwave.co/research/)\n* [**Medicinal Mindfulness**](www.medicinalmindfulness.org) and [**DMTx:**](www.dmtx.org):  Are you interested in participating in an extended-state DMT research project? Medicinal Mindfulness is currently in the process of putting a study together. Learn more at [DMTx.org](www.dmtx.org)  or sign up for the [DMTx Psychonaut Training](https://psychedelicstoday.teachable.com/p/dmtx-psychonaut-training-webinar)\n* **Johns Hopkins University:** Self-report survey - [Have you had an encounter with a seemingly autonomous entity after taking DMT?](https://jhmi.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eqvCfk2u19kSzm5)\n\n## For Students:\nIf you are thinking about trying to get your foot in the door with psychedelic research, it is important to analyze which route you wish to take. There are many paths to choose from and you do not need always need to pursue a degree in science.\n\nAre you currently or thinking about pursuing your Bachelor’s degree?\n\n* **What are your interests?** Are you interested in psychology or psychiatry? Neuroscience or neuropsychology? Chemistry? Biology? History or anthropology? Do you want to do therapy at some point? Figure out what interests you.\nIt is recommended if you want to do therapy or conduct scientific research to earn a degree in science and psychology.\n\n* **Find a niche or a specialty:** If you’re off to an early start, figure out what you may want to focus on. If you’re a psychology student, maybe focus on trauma or addiction. Current psychedelic research is mostly focused on if these substances can be beneficial for certain psychiatric or mental disorders. The research funds are not really there for “how” these substances work, but that might not be the case down the line in a few years. The field is shifting rapidly.\n\n* **Go to conferences:** Just in case you missed this in the last section, remember to try and attend a conference or event!\n* **Find A School:** It is suggested that if you would like to do rigorous academic/scientific research it might be important to seek out applying to a traditional school. There are schools out there doing research and it might not hurt to look into their programs. MAPS has made a list of schools that might make psychedelic research easier.\n* **Create a Club:** You can always try to create a drug advocacy/policy club at your university. If you are unsure how to go about doing so, you could always check out the [Students for Sensible Drug Policy](https://ssdp.org) and create a [local chapter](https://ssdp.org/chapters/start/) at your university or school. \n\n## Beyond The Bachelor’s Degree:\n\nIf you just had just completed your undergraduate degree, are currently a graduate student, or trying to figure out what is next, here is some advice.\n\n* **Master’s Degree or PhD:** I think many people get caught up on this topic, and was a topic that Ingmar spoke about. Some people believe that pursuing a clinical psychology PhD or PsyD is the best option if they want to get their foot in the door with psychedelic psychotherapy. Earning a PhD or PsyD or even a medical degree such as a Psychiatry is a large invest in both your time and money. This route may not be the best option for everyone and it is important to know what you are interested in or what skills you are strong in. Maybe science and math is not your strong point, so pursuing a clinical psychology degree to become a clinical psychologist may not suit you. Some people just want to be able to conduct psychotherapy and there are plenty of ways to do so, such as getting a master’s degree in clinical mental health or social work. Weigh your options and think about what fits you the best.\n\n* **Specialty and Niche:** Like the bachelor’s advice, what is your specialty or expertise? What role can you play later on? The field of psychedelic research is looking for individuals with specialties. Look into the ways how to develop an expertise in the field. If your interest is in trauma, research how to develop a focus in body psychotherapy for trauma disorders. Focus on alternative treatments for addiction.\n\n* **Passion and Drive:** Since earning a professional degree or a doctorate degree is both an investment in time and money, you are going to need to be passionate about what you are studying. There are many people who start programs and realize that it is not for them. Know that if you want to pursue a professional career in psychedelics, you’re in it for the long haul!\n\n* **Is There Therapeutic Benefit:** If you are interested in research Ingmar mentioned that the funding may not be there for questions like, “how do these substances work?” or “how do they heal?” Even though the Imperial College of London has been doing amazing “how” research (how LSD, psilocybin, and MDMA affect the brain) there is not much of that type of research going on within the United States. The MDMA-assisted psychotherapy study wanted to know not how MDMA cures or helps PTSD, but rather, does MDMA-assisted psychotherapy help with PTSD?\n\n* **Find a Mentor or Professor:** It does not hurt to research mentors or professors in the field and see where they are teaching. Katherine Maclean mentioned in our latest interview that she was interested in psychedelic research and knew that Johns Hopkins was researching psilocybin. Look for post-doctorate fellowships, internships, etc. Attend a school that is doing the research.\n\n**Best of Luck!** We wish you the best of luck on your psychedelic journey and hope that you find this information useful. MAPS has a lot of great information and be sure to check out their “resource” section.\n\nBe sure to leave a comment, subscribe to our podcast, and connect with us.
