Welcome to the Entheogenic Evolution Podcast, hosted by author Martin W. Ball, Ph.D. This podcast is dedicated to the discussion of the nondual and unitary nature of being as revealed by conscious entheogenic energetic awakening as well as hosting long-form conversations on diverse and broad topics in psychedelics, therapy, philosophy, science, and culture. Featuring interviews, lectures, and conversations with leading figures in psychedelic research and culture as well as those who are new to the space and just starting to articulate their public voice, this podcast is a pioneering source of diverse information and perspectives. The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast is one of the longest running podcasts on psychedelics, having been first established in 2008, and has been a leading source of information about 5-MeO-DMT since its inception. Given the long history of the podcast, guests and topics serve as indicators of where psychedelic culture is changing and growing as psychedelics become more accepted in the mainstream. In addition to interviews and talks, host, Martin Ball, also shares selections from his many audiobooks, recordings from events and conferences he's organized, and shares his own original music at the conclusion of each episode and his original art for cover images. You can support this podcast by joining up as a contributing member at Patreon.com/martinwball. Martin is also available for individual consultations, mentorship, and integration work for clients in need of reflection and support. His original books are available in paperback, ebook, and audiobooks, and focus on nonduality and 5-MeO-DMT.

This week's episode is my reading of an essay I've been working on since returning from The Church of Psilomethoxin's event, EntheoGenesis, last weekend in Austin, Texas.
