Die Geschichte von Erich Kästner und seiner Mutter ist eine besondere: 'Meine Mutter war mein bester Freund', sagte er über sie. Und sie wusste: 'Mein Sohn verschweigt mir nichts.' Tatsächlich war der kleine Erich seiner Mutter Lebenselixier sowie Schutzengel. Auch in späteren Jahren versuchte er, ihr beides zu sein – und sich trotzdem ganz behutsam ein wenig von ihr zu lösen.

He was neither blue-black nor purple-black, but plum-black. His name was Mauki, and he was the son of a chief. He had three tambos. Tambo is Melanesian for taboo, and is first cousin to that Polynesian word.

Coscienza e Sciamanesimo: Esperienze Cognitive nella Trance Ayahuasca e Teorie della Loro Causa è il risultato del viaggio ayahuasca dell’autore nel 2004 in Ecuador, dove stava bevendo la sacra bevanda alla presenza di un esperto sciamano Shuar.

What Is Shamanism? within the series The Shamanic Quest is an opening book for understanding what shamanism is and what role it plays today in Western society and culture. The purpose of the book is to show that shamanism really is a science, which becomes clear after comparing it with what seems to be similar movements in society.

La Saggezza Sciamanica Incontra la Mente Occidentale: Un’Indagine sulla Natura dello Sciamanesimo’ fornisce una sintesi di regni della conoscenza che finora sono stati accecati dalla coscienza umana o che sono stati visti da una prospettiva denigratoria che è a sua volta il risultato di una percezione frammentata. Lo sciamanesimo, le tradizioni scientifiche perenni e la scienza moderna sono state relegate in ambiti cognitivi ed esperienziali diversi; erano argomenti apparentemente diversi, mentre in realtà appartengono al sistema.

It has a subtext which teaches the key principles of COVID-19 in a way children can easily interprets. Much like COVID-19, this was a collaborative effort to produce this audiobook from a group of university students pooling together their ideas.

"Das obszöne Werk", 1972 erstmals auf Deutsch erschienen, apostrophierte Susan Sontag als "Kammermusik der pornographischen Literatur". Die erotische Erfahrung ist für Bataille eine zweifache: die des Tabus und die seiner Überschreitung; erst die Überschreitung des Tabus ermöglicht den Personen Batailles - Sartre nannte ihn einen "neuen Mystiker" - auch die Transzendierung des Ich.

An Ayahuasca Journey within the series The Shamanic Quest is a report of my Ayahuasca voyage in 2004 to Ecuador, where I was drinking the sacred brew in the presence of an experienced Shuar shaman. I erect the hypothesis that when the traditional Ayahuasca brew is ingested, it is not, or not directly, the plant’s DMT that causes the spiritual voyage, as it is assumed in the overwhelming part of the literature on shamanism and entheogens.

Lo scopo dell’articolo era di mostrare che lo sciamanesimo è davvero una scienza, il che diventa chiaro dopo averlo confrontato con quelli che sembrano essere movimenti simili nella società. L’articolo prepara uno studio più approfondito dello sciamanesimo come scienza, che si intitola ‘Il Metodo Sciamanico’ e fa parte della stessa serie.

The Role of Intention in the Shamanic Experience as part of the series The Shamanic Quest is a study that is based on the essential hypothesis erected in my report An Ayahuasca Journey, about my experience with the sacred Ayahuasca brew back in 2004 in Ecuador. The hypothesis I have erected in that report was that there is no linear causation by plant chemistry only, as most of the shamanism researchers admit, such as "it’s the DMT in the brew that causes the consciousness-altering cognitive experience."

Eroe Edipo: Il Lato Nascosto Della Gloria è uno studio su un particolare problema di psichiatria non ancora chiarito. ‘Eroe Edipo’ è un termine che ho forgiato per un individuo, di solito di sesso maschile, che soffre di una patologia specifica che deriva da una combinazione di complesso edipico irrisolto e narcisismo. A mio parere, la psichiatria moderna ha appena iniziato a identificare questo problema, e il mio approccio per delineare scientificamente e psicologicamente questa patologia è quindi da considerarsi un lavoro pionieristico.
