The Psychology Behind Hashish

Aleister Crowley

Beschreibung

In "The Psychology Behind Hashish," Aleister Crowley delves into the intricate relationship between mind-altering substances and the human psyche. Through a blend of anecdotal evidence, philosophical musings, and psychological analysis, Crowley articulates the profound effects of hashish on perception, creativity, and spiritual enlightenment. Written in the early 20th century, the book reflects the era's burgeoning interest in psychoactive substances and their potential for unlocking hidden dimensions of consciousness, underpinned by Crowley's distinctively ornate and evocative literary style. Aleister Crowley, an enigmatic figure often labeled as a magician, mystic, and philosopher, was heavily influenced by his explorations into Eastern religions, occult practices, and the human experience of transcendental states. His own experimentation with psychoactive substances informed his understanding and interpretations of altered states of consciousness, leading him to produce this compelling work. Crowley's background in psychology, coupled with his deep-seated beliefs regarding the nature of reality and spirituality, provides a rich foundation for his insights in this book. "The Psychology Behind Hashish" is recommended for both academic audiences and general readers interested in the intersections of psychology, spirituality, and substance use. Crowley's nuanced exploration challenges assumptions about drug use while illuminating the complexities of the human experience. This essential read not only expands the discourse surrounding psychoactive substances but also invites readers to reflect on their own consciousness.

Unwired - Gaining Control over...

Gaia Bernstein

Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.
