The Joyous Cosmology
The Joyous Cosmology: Adventures in the Chemistry of Consciousness
Reflective account of several sessions with LSD, mescaline and psilocybin conducted under researchers' supervision, with a foreword by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert. Watts describes the dissolving of the boundary between self and world and relates it to mysticism, while warning that the substances are only instruments and that, once the message is received, one should 'hang up the phone'.
