"C" stands for consciousness

Episode 97: Molecules and Messengers



In this episode, KMO creates an audio mash-up of material taken (with permission) from the radio documentary 'In Search of the Divine Vegetal' and previous episodes of the C-Realm Podcast to address the question of whether First World spiritual seekers are stealing or corrupting the spiritual traditions of the Two Thirds World. Voices heard include: Dennis McKenna, Jeremy Narby, and A. Andrew Gonzalez.

If you will be attending the 4th International Amazonian Shamanism Conference in Iquitos because you learned about it or decided to attend because of what you heard on the C-Realm Podcast, please write to Alan Shoemaker and let him know so that I will get credit for your attendance.

Alan's email address is sogadelalma (at) yahoo (dot) com .

Thank you.
