The Psychedelic Experience
«Can you pass the Bardo test?»

External Closing Ceremony of the World Psychedelic Forum 2008
23.- 24. March 2008, Basel, Switzerland

Through experiencing a symbolic «Ego Death», one can regain acess to «Universal Love».

«The Psychedelic Experience» is an instruction manual intended for guiding psychedelic sessions. It was written in 1964 by Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Richard Alpert. It's based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, wich is a funerary text that describes, the experiences of the consciousness after death, during the interval known as Bardo - between death and rebirth. One can compare the descriptions of the Bardo Thodol with accounts of certain «out of the body» or near-death experiences described by people who have use psychoactive substances.

The concept of this event is to guide the voyagers with a «Audio-Visual Trip Guide», projecting relevant text passages, combined with animations of sacred geometry and carefully selected musical performances, tuned in synchronisation to the specific «Bardo» experienced. With help of reciting the Tibetan manual, one can immediately recognize symptoms and experiences which might otherwise be terrifying, only because of lack of understanding as to what was happening. Recognition is the key, awarness is the reward.

Healing our perception, opening our third eye, passing over our «ego's», remembering «we are one»!

World Psychedelic Forum

Consciousness Change: A Challenge of the 21. Century

In January 2006 the International Symposium "LSD – Problem Child and Wonder Drug" took place at the occasion of the 100th birthday of Dr. Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD. Several thousand visitors and more than 200 media people from 37 countries gathered in Basel to hear speeches from scientists and historians, to exchange ideas and disseminate information. It was the biggest conference of its kind worldwide. For the first time since the turbulent 1960s, a wide range of psychedelic issues and topics has been brought back to public discussion and re-evaluation.

The "World Psychedelic Forum" will expand upon this renewed interest, presenting a unique opportunity for experts, researchers, and interested persons from all around the globe, to exchange views and hear presentations of the latest research on the value of these remarkable psychedelic substances in medicine, psychology, science, religion, culture and the arts.
