A New Understanding: The Science of Psilocybin (2019) [Full Documentary]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2019
- A New Understanding explores the treatment of end-of-life anxiety in terminally ill cancer patients using psilocybin, a psychoactive compound found in some mushrooms, to facilitate deeply spiritual experiences. The documentary explores the confluence of science and spirituality in the first psychedelic research studies since the 1970s with terminally ill patients.
As a society we devote a great deal of attention to treating cancer, but very little to treating the human being who is dying of cancer. The recent resurgence of psychedelic research is once again revealing the power of compounds like psilocybin to profoundly alter our understanding of both life and death. Through the eyes of patients, their loved ones, therapists, and researchers, A New Understanding examines the use of psilocybin in a controlled setting to reduce psychospiritual anxiety, depression, and physical pain.
The treatment aims to help the patient understand that a 'good' death is possible, and to help the patient's family deal well with the dying process. A New Understanding shows patients and their families coming to terms with dying through the skillful treatment of the whole human being. If we can learn to work more skillfully with dying, we will also learn to take better care of life.

Psilocybin mushrooms were the only thing that got me out of my suicidal depression, I also saw a red energy exiting my body which I can’t explain. I had inflammatory bowl disease which disappeared after the trip. There’s a lot more to psychedelics then we realise. But I owe my life to that one profound experience, afterwards I felt like I just had 100 years of therapy and released all the emotional shit locked up in my body from the past. They really should be doing these sessions out in nature, it’s so much more powerful... get these people out of a indoor hospital like environment & out into the powerful healing energy from nature.
Bless you for sharing your story brother, I am glad to hear you were healed. psilocybin completely changed my life and got me off meth about 3 years ago. You are absolutely correct that they are to be done outside with the healing energy from nature. You don't get anywhere near the full potential of a trip if you're inside confined within 4 walls. I think being around nature really drills into you the interconnectedness of all nature and how you are one with nature and the universe itself, not some separate extremely individual entity. How much did you take? Just curious, my first trip were shrooms I picked directly off a grave, it was a very spiritual experience in which i felt i connected with that man and received his lifetime of wisdom and quite possibly some of his ancestors too. At the beginning of this video when they spoke about the geometrical patterns and not just seeing the colors but actually being in them, that was exactly what my trip was like. I was flying through these colourful geometric patterns and at the same time they were flying through me, it was so supernatural. The next mushroom season after that, I tripped too often and my trips weren't as good; I find the more time inbetween your trips the more profound and insightful they will be. If you use them too often you're abusing them and thus they will abuse you back. Psychedelics need to be legalized worldwide, keeping them illegal is a war against nature. Here in NZ the councils spray shrooms with fungicide, which causes far more damage to the planet as a whole than some spiritual people trying to travel within using sacred medicine. I hope all is well, peace love and freedom be with you!!!
Thank you for your vulnerability. It brings me joy that your ailments were relieved.
I thought i was the only one who experienced this mysterious red energy.
As someone who suffer(ed) from Pure O OCD - i visualized multiple red dots that resembled blood (an archetype of a guilty conscious, as i suffered from intrusive thoughts) that would appear and then disappear. Cant really explain it either but it was like it was cleansing me.
This experience changed my life. The thing was, before i even took the miraculous medicine , i didnt even realize i had OCD. I thought i was just a horrible person due to these intrusive thoughts we cant control.
It wasnt until it broke me out of my shackles that kept me depressed and my ocd reminding me to kill myself every 5 seconds, that It reminded me that im in control and that my destiny is not decided by anything else but me.
This is when i quit smoking weed (15+ year daily heavy smoker, weed increased my anxiety), and started exercising , eating healthy, and started to go to therapy for the first time in my adult life. (Which is when i realized i had this disorder) Pretty much taking back control of my life.
The most amazing thing was , for the next 2 months after the experience, my ocd symptoms decreased dramatically, and i was able to smile genuinely for the first time in ages!
Fortunately now, with the help of cognitive behavioral therapy techniques i am able to control my ocd, not the other way around.
Honestly, without that experience breaking me out of my mental shackles,
Id still be doing drugs, thinking of killing myself obsessively, and socially isolate myself due to severe anxiety. And i probably wouldnt have gone to therapy which allowed me to understand myself.
Ive only taken it that 1 time, and honestly that's all i ever needed to save my life.
Its so frustrating how this amazing organism can be classified as having no medicinal benefit , which has the potential to SAVE LIVES.
Kleeeenex1 thanks for sharing, it’s great to hear more people’s profound experience’s! And glad you’re doing well, let’s hope more & more people turn to this powerful natural medicine
Can I ask you more details of your trip? how did you spend it? just chillin, meditating? doing stuff?
When I was in my late teens, my mother died, after struggling with cancer for years. Taking Psi slowed things down. When I talked her into smoking cannabis, she gained 30 lbs. Psilocybin grew a few blocks from my house. After having a botanist teach us how to identify them, we'd go shroom hunting, We'd all have big bags of them, dry them out and find creative ways to combine different strains. She lived much longer than anyone thought. We made wonderful recipes with them. The flavor was subtle but distinct.
Wow
“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
― Terence McKenna
Absolutely correct 💯. .... I was just thinking about how my parents' generation was so gullible believing it if it was said on the news, by the governor or president or on the morning radio on the way to work. It HAD to be true if they heard it there. We have all been lied to about so many things.
Legalize recreational psilocybin mushrooms!
J dub yes please!!!!
Come to Oregon bro
How about 1st we get it to become a schedule 2 substance, so then immature people running around on them irresponsibly don’t ruin it again like they did in the 60s?
@@figure8analogy677 ironic
Decriminalize all drugs! Like Oregon and Portugal!
Why not allow the epiphanies BEFORE someone gets ill? Why can't everyone have spiritual understanding? Shouldn't this be one of the first gifts a young adult receives? Why just treat depression and anxiety? Couldn't this potentially PREVENT depression in the first place?
Amen
I am in deep agreement. Prevention alleviates the need for cure.
Shrooms will be legal after cannabis
It doesn't always create epiphany. If a person is ready to receive then it works and if one is not ready to receive it often does not. End of life may stimulate receptivity. I remember once being with a young man who described seeing a whole universe in a drop of water....he said it was the most awful experience of his life and he didn't want to ever do that again.
That's what Aldous Huxley was suggesting in his last novel, Island. It's about this utopian society isolated from the rest of the world where people practice Buddhism and take a medicine (psilocybin mushrooms) for spiritual enlightment. The mushrooms are first taken as part of an initiation ritual for the young person, a sort of coming-of-age. Boys and girls at 12 years old start the all-day ritual by mountain climbing in groups to experience the fragility of life by engaging in dangerous physical activity. The day ends with the young initiates taking the mushrooms so that they may know the full range of human consciousness through mystical experience.
The "Moksha Medicine" is seldom used yet it's a key part of the culture on Pala Island.
DMT, Mescaline and Psilocybin are portals for consciousness to connect with the other side. I love them.
I think the portal is the pineal glance and the substances are the medium to approach the portal of PG...
@@Drehead I wrote that a year ago.
I’ve since learned that the portal is within us and as long as you can connect to the Cosmic Consciousness all around us, the invisible energy field if you will, then you are essentially accessing the portals. At the time, I thought DMT was the only way to access this. I have since become an experienced meditator and now realize that DMT is merely a conduit to this backdoor.
Do you still take it? I ordered some first time im going to try it
@@suewade3970 no not anymore. I actually realized I didn’t need it to connect to other sentient life and the cosmic universe. I’ve since become an experienced meditator and have connected to this field of consciousness completely sober, just by putting myself into a higher state of awareness.

*R.I.P.* Matt & Annie.Great documentary.

If you approve that's enough.
Banning any medicine is a crime against humanity.
i just hope as many people can see this documentary as possible
How inspiring! Being a Chinese, I eat lots of mushrooms regularly, but never realize the magic behind them until this past few weeks. How lucky we are to have so many experts giving these (psychedelic mushroom) lectures and podcast and make them available on UA-cam for everyone. Like the virus, these information are spreading in the speed of light!
Magic mushroom my friend, they are different to normal mushroom 🙏

The entire matrix of this world is build around human brain and human instinct, and a single mushroom, how small and fragile it looks, has the potential to dimolish it complitly. 😅
Indeed it has.
@No One this dude has no idea what he wrote. He can't even spell demolish and completely. All of sudden people took some mushrooms and they start to talk in riddles.
@@mmayojr actually this guy is on the right track, you are just sleeping
45:13 - so well said. It feels extremely cliche and shallow trying to describe the experience in words. It is only done justice if the person on the receiving end has had a relatable experience. We just don't vocabulary to accurately describe something so profound and transformative.
It makes me so sad that this miraculous compound had been shunned from mainstream society

Shrooms should be done with a proper Shamanistic ceremony. Accompanied with therapeutic sessions prior to the ceremony discussing what you're troubles are and what your intentions are for the ceremony. The Shaman will guide you safely through the ceremony and the mushrooms will help you deal with your traumas. Amazing medicine. Thats what I did 2 months ago and feeling a lot better. I am going back again in a few months for some more deep healing.
Beautiful 💕 my grandma is dying, and I am sad. Cant sleep so watched this.
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day ! The benefits to me are more profound than little words can convey . Open up people .. it’s a good thing . Connections being made and conveyed through this beautiful plant teacher .
It’s truly heart warming that so many people want to help.
Remarkable. Thank you for this
Horizon Psilocybin Therapy training should be incredibly interesting. Looking forward to it!
Wonderful, thank you!
What an amazing and compassionate documentary on such a sensitive topic. I hope this invigorates the health community to further expand their research into alternative medicine.
Amazing documentary. Thankyou for creating it. 😊🙏❤️
Excellent professors, doctors and descriptions by patients...amazing.
Amazing stuff. I wish them all continued success with this and hope to see this spread to many other areas.

thank you
Beautifully done! Thank you for making this important work! ❤️
it's like a firmware update for your brain lmao
It really is. May take a few trips to get it though
Really? Or is it just hyped like CBD? I hope not.
@@floriath never done them myself but it's certainly not hype.
Your brain is filtering consciousness, all psychedelics do is allow more consciousness through the filter
or a reset
I've heard a lot of tripping stories, and they are very exciting, i would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it

The most dangerous thing about these types of drugs is that you might get caught with them!
I had an odd visual one time where I was watching a scene inside of a restaurant. There was a mother and a child eating. A random figure came by them and grabbed a purse and begin to walk out the door when the purse got caught in the door and exploded into a beautiful light of orange color. It was so clear and vivid... I have always felt as if I was being laid down and taught something sacred, something beyond me (ego) and beyond words.
As an alcoholic and former pot user...mushies are the greatest and most important drug and healthy drug ever. Its not addictive and does so much help to someones mental and spiritual and even physical health.

How did it change your life ? Did you stop taking the adhd meds? I.would love to.stop my medications.
It makes me cry hearing these testimonies.
Excellent film.
Lovely documentary
Amazing documentary! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Absolutely Wonderful ! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this inspiring and insightful documentary! I am praying that these treatments are legalized soon, so we can end a lot of needless suffering
Beautiful!
Excellent documentary; thank you.
Since denver decriminalized mushrooms I've become very interested in the medicinal uses of psychedelics. I suffer from pretty serious depression. I have gotten better since I have stopped drinking. But I still struggle. I would love to have a few therapy sessions like this. I've tried traditional antidepressants and therapy but the meds actually made my depression worse. Hopefully it becomes more available with places like Denver and Oakland decriminalizing .
You should read an English copy of the koran(the holly book for Muslims and the whole world). Trust me you will find the creator
@@kakababa8581 Kaka Baba, what sort of idiotic reply is this? The irony is that the psychedelic plant medicines will replace any need for these dumb arse religions, because they plug the recipients directly into source so making organised religion from any book redundant. Can't wait to see the extinction of organised religion which will be finished.
@@kakababa8581 You should take some psychedelics, trust me you will find out the creator is within yourself not in a fairytale book that you were brainwashed with as a child
Guys, any need for the hate, come on. You got triggered big time here, time for more psilocybin.

I love this woman. She is the perfect person to use bc she is so straight. Awesome.
@29 min, that theraapist is an idiot. She should not be telling that pt that stuff while he is on psilocybin. Straight people have no place in magic.

You couldn't possibly have been in any way something imperfect.
You're mistaking yourself for an object, you're believing the story you're telling yourself.
You are that which is aware of objects, of stories (thinking).
Consciousness is just what it is, and it's all that is, so just rest as that. 💜

Interesting....
I eat mushrooms a lot and it makes me a better human being.
The Schedule system is hopelessly outmoded. Heroin and cocaine are surely dangerous,but from what we've learned since its creation, cannabis and psilocybin should be as legal as carrots.
That one guy that down voted has never eaten mushroomz
lol... true
Fuck that guy and his none shrooms ass
@geezusispan it wont do it to everyone who has mental issues but definitely will not help some of them unfortunately.
That one guy prob believes the earth is flat also
Very deep i enjoy it!! I still havent try but i will
👆👆 check that handle,he got shrooms ,Dmt,Lsd,mdma,coke,acid,edible, gummies,cannabis, chocolate bars, psilocybin and lot more.. He ships world wide
If the earth was trying to tell us something what vessel would it use?
I'm doing some now
Listening to that woman describe being in the Colors, brought a Flood of feelings I've put in my closet.
When I was between ages 2 and 7 or so I would have spectacular Insanely high energy Color encompassing Dreams all the time. I would get frightened and try to explain them. But could not articulate the experience to another. WOW I think I'm going in the out now? 😁
Psylocybin could change the world
I'm suffering with cptsd and a chronic stomach condition. I am in constant pain. I've been looking into psilocybin as a treatment because the 3 years or so of therapy i've been through have done little to nothing to alleviate my anxieties or depression, if anything the various medications they've tried on me have made things worse. I live in Portland Oregon, and if someone could help me find some local resources, I would be super grateful. Thank you for reading.

Shrooms got great benefits, I made an order from @pat_shroomtrip on Instagram my whole life feels new again. depression and anxiety got nothing on me.
The Upanishads has, being the summation of the Veda, are from…found from over a long period of time. Beginning perhaps as early as 800 BC. Some of the Upanishads are much much later than that. And the basic position of the Upanishads is that the Self is the one and only reality without a second-that all this universe is finally Brahman-and appears to be a multiplicity of different things and different events only by reason of Maya, which is illusion, magic, art, creative power. So then it is basic to the Vedanta that Brahman-this intangible non-objective ground of everything that exists-is identical with the ground of you. And this is put in the formula: tat tvam asi. T-A-T, tat, same as our word ‘that’; tvam, T-V-A-M, same as the Latin tuus-thou; asi-art. We should translate that into a modern American idiom as “You’re it.”
This, of course, is a doctrine which is very difficult for those brought up in the Judeo-Christian traditions to accept because it is fundamental to Christian and Jewish theology that whatever you are, you are surely not the Lord God. And Christians feel about the Hindu doctrine-that we are all fundamentally masks of God-that it’s pantheism, and that’s a dirty word in Christian theological circles because of the feeling that if everything is God, then all moral standards are blown to hell; because it means that everything is as good as everything else; everything that happens is really God and this must include the good things and the bad things. And that seems to them a very dangerous idea. Actually all religious doctrines contain very very dangerous ideas.
However, we won’t worry about that for the moment because what the Hindu means by God when he says Brahman is not at all the same thing as a Jew means by the Lord Adonai; because the Jew and the Christian means ‘the boss’ to whom divine honors are due as above all others. The Hindu, on the other hand, does not mean ‘the boss.’ He doesn’t mean the king, the Lord, the political ruler of the universe. He means the inmost energy, which, as it were, dances this whole universe, without, as it were, the idea of authority, of governing some intractable element that resists his or its power.
So if a Christian, or a person in a Christian culture, announces that he has discovered that he is God, we put him in the loony bin, because it is unfashionable to burn people for heresy anymore. But in India if you announce that you’re the Lord God, they say “Well, of course. How nice that you found out,” because everybody is. -Alan Watts

I was brought up christian, and even did mission work and was a youth pastor at one time. I had a "samadhi" experience on just 3g of golden teacher mushrooms. I experienced non-duality, and became one with god - understanding we are all god. That same day, I researched what I had experienced, and came across the teachings of swami Sarvapriyananda. I immediately understood everything he was teaching on advaita vedanta (non-dual vedanta). I am not into religion of any sorts, but appreciate the wisdom offered by Hindu, Christian and other faiths. The problem is, people feel the need to "bottle" their mystical experience and turn it into a commodity for the masses. Just do shrooms and enjoy what they have to teach us and we will all come to the same conclusions in the end. Btw, I have started re-reading the gospels of Jesus with a new perspective. He walked in samadhi...
Ive staryed mocrodosing psylocybin last week, and honestly ive never felt better in my life. I never really dealt with depression but for a while i felt like a piece was missing, i wasnt as happy as i could be ans my anxiety got in the way of a lot of things. But since microdosing, my anxiety is almost non existent, i feel more energetic, creative, better sense of well being and just overall feel amazing. Im even performing better at my job. Microdosing Psylocybin is gonna be the next big thing and i cant wait for it to be more medically accessible becuse ik it can help so many people.
I think the "test trips" should be done outdoors in some place which is far removed from the distraction of the city. I think that would be more beneficial for the test subjects/patients, and would provide better information for the physicians to learn from.

For me, mushrooms are very confusing. I've done them numerous times and I do love them, but I never got specific messages or even visions. It's always usually the same. About 20 minutes after drinking the tea, I hear a shout. It is very native American in nature. Then comes this explosion of colors. This then morphs into this enormous space that Im in that is within me. It is filled with this moving aztec designs and candy in celephane wrappers. These candies and shapes shift and wiggle and make these squeaking and almost giggling noises. There was one time that I was tripping extremely hard and suddenly felt the presence of Jesus Christ. I began thanking him over and over for the experience I was having.
david mark Did it help your anxiety or depression?
I also experience Aztec / Mayan designs and writings. Sometimes African and Native American, as well. I think they are a part of the collective unconscious (i.e. read Carl Jung)
