Aiken D W (38 results)

Paperback. Condition: New. John Aiken and his wife Louise, both M.D.'s by profession, have a significant place in the psychedelic chronicles, but their story has been poorly documented. After both sons died by drowning in separate accidents, they retired to New Mexico for spiritual research, with and without psychedelics. Art Kleps, author of The Boo Hoo Bible, has credited their Church Of Awakening as being the very first non-Native American psychedelic church to be registered in the U.S. in 1963, predating both Klep's and Tim Leary's Millbrookers by a couple of years. Aiken's 1966 Explorations in Awareness, draws on a vast array of ancient and modern sources, presenting an esoteric doctrine of self-realization and ultimate transcendence, told in a pure, stripped-down style that displays self-confidence. It is a delight to read because it was a new psychedelic path with vedic-yogic along with Christian and Native American influences, and not a rehashed insight of Hippy "trips." The book includes trip reports, including one from an Indian guru, who does a respect-worthy attempt to interpret the cosmologic-metaphysic experiences of an acid trip into plain English.Aiken's early discussion of LSD vibe is very different from what followed during the Hippy years, and deserves much greater recognition than received. Aiken's approach to enlightenment is rooted in meditating while using psychedelics--peyote, magic mushrooms. This derivative of Aiken's classic Work picks up where Aiken and his wife left off back in the late Sixties--fifty years ago. While Aiken discusses meditation, he doesn't provide specific techniques for doing so and how to get over resistance and other side-tracks. Meditation had just been introduced to Americans by The Beatles in "We All Live in a Yellow Submarine" and other pop songs that captured psychic explorers' imagination. In this derivative, author Beverly Potter (Docpotter) will add specific how-to instructions, with illustrations, on how to meditate effectively, including how to "sit," how to defeat "the Money Mind," and how to handle other challenges psychonauts meet along the path to enlightenment. The volume will include a foreword by Michale Marinacci, author of California Jesus and Weird California, about the significance of The Church of the Awakening among the early non-Native American psychedelic churches.A second foreword by Dr. Carl Ruck, Professor of Classics at Boston University and author of Mushrooms of the Goddess and Entheogens, Myth, and Human Consciousness will address mystic self-transcendence ecstatic visions achieved with psychedelic meditation and answer the question: can psychedelics lead to God--a question Aiken posed in a 1966 article in Fate Magazine.…

Condition: MOLTO BUONO. Milano, Martello cm.12x19,5, pp.296, brossura con soprac. Collana La Piramide. Dodici racconti. A cura di G.Monicelli.

Stapled, printed wraps, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, 70 pp., 33 plates (b/w drawings). Errata slip. Very good. Scarce. From the preface: "Mr. Aiken and Mr. Fuller, the authors of this compact and informative booklet have, for the first time, illustrated and described under one cover all of the living species in the molluscan family Volutidae, found in African waters. Heretofore, anyone interested in the volutid fauna from this area would have found it difficult to obtain the many esoteric references needed to complete his study. In 'The Living Volutes of Africa' the reader will find a valuable map showing the geographical location of 31 species. Also included is an up-to-date systematic arrangement of these species under their proper genera, as determined from the latest available date. Under each species, the authors illustrate and describe the shell, giving the distribution, habitat, and in many cases the best known synonyms. Drawings of the radula teeth of several species are included as well as a bibliography of the principal references. As one who has been interested in this fascinating family of molluscs for many years, I recommend this little booklet to amateurs and professionals alike. It is a handy guide to the Volutes of Africa and the adjacent islands off the African continent." (Clifton S. Weaver, Hawaiian Malacological Society). (3214006).…
