“We may or may not still call ourselves Christians or Jews. But many of us are creating new kinds of community that employ such spiritual practices as meditation, contemplative prayer, and, yes, even the ingestion of psychedelic drugs and sacred plant medicines, to cultivate a divine presence in this lifetime.”

“Don’t mistake God on Psyche-delics: Tripping Across the Rubble of Old-Time Religion for a work of indiscriminate boosterism of LSD, ketamine and otherpsychoactive substances. Though his experiences with consciousness-altering drugs qualify The Chronicle’s former religion reporter as a ‘psychonaut,’ his intelligent and measured book attests that he’s a discerning one.”
— Kevin Canfield in a book review n the San Francisco Chronicle

Some call the divine "God." Others are more comfortable with notions like “cosmic consciousness,” the “ground of being,”or "ultimate reality." In his new book, veteran Bay Area journalist Don Lattin examines how the "psychedelic renais-sance" relates to broader dynamisms in our nation's spiritual and religious landscape.

“In his new book, God on Psychedelics, Don Lattin, a veteran religion journalist, investigates how some religious groups are encouraging chemically induced revelatory experiences of human interconnectedness and unity.”
— Yonat Shimron, in a Religion News Service Interview with the author

“One of the threads in 'God on Psychedelics' is Lattin’s deep dive into the growing number of groups using entheogens as their sacrament. Don Lattin knows from religion. For decades he was the 'God beat' reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, writing about all sorts of religious matters.”
— Roberto Loiederman, article in the Jewish Journal

Richard "Ram Dass" Alpert, the psychedelic crusader and spiritual teacher, liked to quip about how he was "only Jewish on my parents' side." Here's a blog, posted on the "Rebooting Jewish Life" website, that was drawn from a chapter in Don's new book, which includes a long, lost interview he did with Ram Dass.
