About this listen
Simple, concise, and radical, Being Human outlines the Entheological Paradigm, a Grand Unified Theory of reality that accounts for not only all of the physical world, but personal consciousness, life, and God as well.
This guide explains the nature of God as a fractal energy being and how this one being works to create all of physical reality and is also embodied in all living beings through the process of evolution. To be human is to be God in a body.
This guide not only explains how this is accomplished through energetic evolution, but also explains how individuals can use entheogenic medicines to learn how to own their personal energy and take responsibility for themselves as unique manifestations and embodiments of God. Free of fluff, mystification, metaphysics, and all religious dogma and illusion, Being Human is the simple, easy-to-follow guide to a fulfilling life in reality that humanity has been waiting for. This is the book that can change the world, and it all begins with you! Welcome, at long last, to reality!
The paperback version of Being Human was first released in 2009 following the author's own personal experience of energetic opening and transformation and is considered a radical and groundbreaking book in entheogenic literature. The audiobook features ambient soundscape backing tracks, occasional sound effects, and is read by the author.

Story
Robert Sapolsky’s Behave, his now classic account of why humans do good and why they do bad, pointed toward an unsettling conclusion: We may not grasp the precise marriage of nature and nurture that creates the physics and chemistry at the base of human behavior, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Now, in Determined, Sapolsky takes his argument all the way, mounting a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self telling our biology what to do.

Story
From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Government-approved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected 60 volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plant-derived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew, ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain. In Strassman's volunteers, it consistently produced near-death and mystical experiences.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

How can it be possible that the world we see is not objective reality? And how can our senses be useful if they are not communicating the truth? Hoffman grapples with these questions and more over the course of this eye-opening work.

Story
Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are and learn to live and breathe freely.

Story
With Dream Yoga, Andrew Holecek guided us into Tibetan Buddhism’s nocturnal path to lucid dreaming. Here, he offers in-depth instruction in the tradition’s daytime practices. “Waking experience is also a type of dream”, teaches Holecek, “and things are not as solid and real as we think. This insight is what transforms a non-lucid life into a lucid one.” For those drawn to Tibet’s profound teachings for awakening to the true nature of reality - in the day or night - this guide shows us the way.

What have you not done to find real love or improve your existing relationship? Was it actually worth it? Was it worth your time, money, and peace of mind? Did you actually get the results you wanted? You see, most relationship tips fail because people approach them with the mindset of resistance. Any sense of resistance that we experience within ourselves is due to us feeling fragmented. We feel fragmented because of our own limiting beliefs and negative social programming.

A riveting treatise on non-duality, entheogens and the human condition
The work Martin Ball PhD is an essential resource for all psychonauts, philosophers and well, heck, really anyone who’s curious about the nature of reality whatsoever. This book flows. The “key concepts” summaries at the end of each chapter are very helpful. 5 (MEO) stars (;

Truth about the nature of reality.
Specifically the Shamanism and remote viewing/mediumship points. Dr. Ball speaks from experience not delusions as a lot do in the “spiritual” realm.

Fun read, but also directly to the point!
This is essential reading for non-dual truth. Martin presents this material in a no fluff style that I really appreciated. Some will not appreciate this and that's ok. Not everybody is ready to hear the Truth presented in such a raw and no holds barred kind of way. After reading many books that all seem to convolute these ideas with so much unnecessary story and fluff, it's very refreshing to see that some people are able to explain it in a more direct way. This book, along with Martin's other books, coupled with my own personal experiences, have guided me to a state of consciousness and being that are well beyond what I ever imagined possible when I embarked on this journey. I hope his books help others integrate the truth of their experiences as they have helped me!

A fun listen--Interesting and thought-provoking
This is one of the more interesting and thought-provoking books that I've listened to. The author lays out his worldview and his understanding of the ultimate nature of reality (metaphysics). He pulls no punches and, interestingly, provides virtually no evidence or argumentation. Here it is, take it or leave it!
His worldview is quite spiritual but rejects much of religious and New Age precepts about souls and the afterlife. This is a worldview and metaphysics that he appears to have developed by taking hallucinogenic drugs, the kinds that are often used in religious and shamanistic work. He's understandably vague about his own drug-taking. But he very much encourages us to try DMT, peyote, etc. He also provides how-to's so that we have profitable spiritual experiences. His idea is that if we take these, we'll embrace the worldview that the author lays out. I wouldn't know!
I, myself, embrace views that the author rejects as New Age fantasy. As I listened, I realized that the author seems convinced that it's possible to KNOW the ultimate nature of reality through personal experience. I have many times had the experience of having a realization through a transformative spiritual experience. And, then, I find that later spiritual experiences have given me higher-level realizations which replace the earlier ones.
I think it unlikely that any particular realization would be one that lays out the ultimate nature of reality. As the author says, we are like characters in a video game. We're not situated well, even when greatly freed from the rules of the game, to understand the fundamentals of the reality that exists beyond the game.
However, we can have realizations through spiritually transformative experiences that help us to lead happier more beneficial lives. I find the author somewhat limited in this regard. His sees the ultimate good as being authentic to one's own personality and desires. For example, if a roommate doesn't like one's singing voice, the author urges that one be authentic and sing anyway. How about having some empathy and consideration? One can always sing when the roommate isn't around. The author even notes that others don't tend to have a good reaction to people who have been liberated in their views in the way that the author has!
The author's limited understanding of what it takes to create good relationships suggests to me that his worldview isn't a description of the ultimate nature of reality. Rather, it's a step forward, and there will be more steps. Nevertheless, this is an extremely clearly-written and thought-provoking book. I've had my own significant realizations listening to it and had fun doing so. I highly recommend it.

Great book to listen
I was pleasantly surprised by this audio book. Love the sound effects and background music. First time I encounter this on audible. The content is very helpful, specially if you have experience an entheogenic awakening. Just thank you!

Full of Contradictions
his viewpoint makes no sense whatsoever. He states that God inhabits the entirety of reality. God is everything, and it is conscious. He claims then that we are God, because we are a part of reality. He also claims that God used energetic symbols to guide reality into being (which sounds an awful lot like manifesting to me). We are apparently a structure of three infinity loops stacked upon an unwound spiral. So far, so good. it may or may not be wrong, but it makes sense. But then he goes on to claim that we are not capable of manifesting, despite being God ourselves and also having knowledge of these energetic symbols.
He claims that astral travel to other realms does not exist, yet he also states that when we take DMT, we are seeing "true reality". For anyone that hasn't done DMT for themselves, this "true reality" he speaks of presents itself as a series of strange and mystical realms. Apparently they both don't exist and constitute true reality.
He also states that prayer does not work and all religious views are just a projection of the ego. This is a very interesting position to hold for someone claiming to have discovered the one and only true nature of reality, both mundane and divine. How exactly are you so sure of the truth of your claims if God does not provide revelation? How can you be so sure that you (and you alone) have encompassed the full picture of what is real? If your insights were not divinely inspired, then how can you know you have not missed something important?
