A nice little wave of extra synchronicity lately...a couple of weeks ago, I finally started Jeremy Narby's important book "The Cosmic Serpent". Several chapters into it, I browse over to Reality Sandwich and see Jonathan Phillips doing a great interview him. Last 2 walks into the forest with the book, I've seen snakes. (Only other time that has happened was when I was reading a Zoe 7 article.)

I find his discussion of "defocalizing" very powerful.

Here is

short summary interview on the book. Get it at Banyen

Oh, and Psychonautica has just podcast a lecture by Mr. Narby:
