May we all find his peace of mind.
Prof. Roland Griffiths gave a NYT interview on his end-of-life epiphanies and endowments for us all. You can donate to his academic endowment here, a manifestation of his symbolic immortality.
In Roland’s words:
“I suspect we, dearly want humankind to awaken with gratitude to the precious gift of awareness. We know from research and experience that psychedelics can occasion profound awakenings that have substantial and sustained personal meaning and spiritual significance. We also know, based on research and observation, that such experiences can produce enduring positive changes in prosocial attitudes and behavior, opening individuals to the realization that we are all in this together with the attendant impulse toward mutual caretaking in service of human flourishing.
Although it might sound like an overstatement, I truly believe this line of research may be critical to the survival of our species.”
