A native of Los Angeles, Dr. Strassman has degrees from Stanford, Albert Einstein College of Medicine (M.D.), general psychiatry training at UC Davis, and clinical psychopharmacology fellowship training at UC San Diego. Joining the faculty at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in 1984, his clinical research on melatonin discovered its first known function in humans.

From 1995-2008, he practiced general psychiatry in community mental health and the private sector. He has authored or co-authored nearly 50 peer-reviewed papers, has served as guest editor and reviewer for numerous scientific journals, and consulted to various government, non-profit, and for-profit entities. His best selling book DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2002) has been translated into 13 languages and is the basis of a successful independent documentary that he co-produced. In 2008, he co-authored Inner Paths to Outer Space. His interest in Hebrew biblical prophecy and psychedelia resulted in his 2014 book DMT and the Soul of Prophecy. His first novel, Joseph Levy Escapes Death, was published in 2019. The Psychedelic Handbook appeared in 2022. This podcast focuses on his latest work My Altered States which will be released in December 2024.

Ikara retreat center is located in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Ikara is the western representative of Mboka A Nzambe -- one of the last traditional Bwete villages in Gabon. King Adumangana of Mboka A Nzambe invited Kuma to join the African village and be initiated as a Miobe Nganga. During his initiation, Kuma was taken deep into the Babongo territories (the home of the Babongo Pygmies) in Dibios to do his rite of passage Mweli before his initiation could be completed. Kuma was the first westerner to be initiated for this great privilege. King Adumangana wanted Kuma to be his advocate for the west and convey the knowledge, teachings, and spirituality of Bwete. In this way, the main aim of Ikara is to screen people who may wish to visit Mboka A Nziambe in Gabon. King Adumangana wants people to come and experience the traditional process of rebirth in its traditional manner. Ikara offers traditional Babongo Miobe Ombudi Iboga ceremonies as taught by Spiritual Father King Adumangana. All profits go directly to Mboka A Nzambe and the 7 Babongo villages supported in Dibois.

Episode 299: L.E. Maroski: "Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language: Expressing the Unity and Complexity of Integral Consciousness"
In Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language (2024), L.E. Maroski proposes that humanity is poised on the cusp of a transformation of consciousness that requires not only a shift in values and perspectives, but also a shift in a basic technology we take for granted--language. Maroski questions the cultural assumptions that are built into the structure of language and invites the reader to imagine and ultimately to help develop novel structures of language that arise from different assumptions. To do so, she shows how we can draw inspiration from paradoxical topological forms, such as the Mobius strip and Klein bottle, as they embody both unity and duality/multiplicity. By seeing our reality not simply in terms of either/or but also in terms of both(many)/and, perhaps we can better appreciate the wholeness of all existence.
