The Albert Hofmann Foundation Newsletter
|
||
Volume 1 Number 1 Summer 1989
|
||
========================================
|
||
Purpose: The purpose of the Albert Hofmann foundation is to establish a
|
||
library & world information centre dedicated to the scientific
|
||
study of human consciousness. Our future library, art gallery
|
||
and conference centre will house an extensive collection of
|
||
books, journals, articles, correspondence, tape recordings,
|
||
news clippings, research reports and art, and it will be open
|
||
to researchers and the public.
|
||
|
||
The inaugeration of The Albert Hofmann Foundation in 1988
|
||
marked the 50th anniversary year of the first synthesis of LSD
|
||
by Dr. Hofmann at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals.
|
||
|
||
From the President
|
||
------------------
|
||
We are pleased to present the first issue of our quarterly Newsletter,
|
||
which is dedicated to Albert Hofmann. Future issues will keep you up to
|
||
date on the Foundation's progress, announce upcoming events, and include
|
||
articles, book reviews and more.
|
||
|
||
Future Facilities: With the materials already promised, the Albert
|
||
----------------- Hofmann Librar is assured of being the largest
|
||
collection of its kind in the world. Ultimately we plan to have a
|
||
library, art gallery and conference centre, all of which will be open to
|
||
the public. Presently we are raising funds for a building, which we
|
||
estimate will cost about $1,000,000.
|
||
|
||
Activities: We held four major events during our first year of operation.
|
||
---------- These attracted favorable national media attention and
|
||
resulted in proceeds of about $12,000 in excess of the Foundation's total
|
||
first-year expenses. We are currently planning a public exebition of
|
||
Oscar Janiger's LSD art collection, a film festival, a series of benefit
|
||
concerts, a lecture series, and a comedy program.
|
||
|
||
New Directors and Advisors: Several distinguished people have joined our
|
||
-------------------------- Board of Directors. We welcome Oscar Janigar,
|
||
M.D. (vice president), a pioneer in the era of LSD and creativity;
|
||
Carolyn Kleefield (Secretary), a textbook poet, artist and consciousness
|
||
explorer; Philip Fox, J.D. (Treasurer), a Vice President of Shearson
|
||
Lehman Hutton; and Jeremy Tarcher, who has published a number of important
|
||
books in this field.
|
||
|
||
We are also pleased to welcome several new members to our Board of
|
||
Advisors: Milan Hausner, M.D., a pioneer of LSD research in Prague,
|
||
Czechoslovakia; Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., a Canadian psychiatrist and
|
||
pioneer of orthomolecular psychistry; Betty Eisner, Ph.D., research
|
||
associate of the late Sidney Cohen at UCLA; and Arnold Mandell, M.D.,
|
||
neuroscientist and Professor at The Univesity of California.
|
||
|
||
We have become a truly international organization, with eight nations
|
||
now represented on our Board of Advisors.
|
||
|
||
We cordially invite you to join the Foundation if you are not already
|
||
a member.

ALBERT HOFMANN IN AMERICA - Celebrating 50 Years of Consciousness Research
|
||
..........................................................................
|
||
Dedication to Dr. Hofmann
|
||
|
||
It is fortunate indeed that the mantle of discovery of LSD, the most
|
||
powerful effector of consciousness change ever known, fell on the
|
||
shoulders of Albert Hofmann. A wise, sensitive and prudent man, he was
|
||
quick to realize the magnitude of his invention on that memorable day of
|
||
April 16, 1943, and could relate its remarkable effects to those
|
||
experiences described by visionaries, madmen and poets. He has remained
|
||
steadfast throughout the shifting temper of the times in his belief that
|
||
LSD is an instrument of immense significance in the investigation of
|
||
mental and emotional processes; a periscope of the mind that enables one
|
||
to look over and around walls -- a frightening and liberating notion.
|
||
Andre Malraux reminds us that it is the artist's duty to break down walls.
|
||
We of ordinary disposition may find some benefit in opening a door or two.
|
||
|
||
What is on the "other side"? Is it tempting to say, "everything". All
|
||
that the power of the mind can transect and an uncanny sense of what lies
|
||
in the vastness beyond. Of what use is it to alter or obligatory
|
||
awareness? Perhaps to do what no other creature has the gift to do: the
|
||
extraordinary prospect of plotting a saner course for our evolving
|
||
consciousness.
|
||

KEYNOTE ADDRESS -- Hofmann Speaks on LSD, Mind and Reality.
|
||
|
||
In his keynote address at The Albert Hofmann Foundation's October 1988
|
||
fundraiser "Albert Hofmann in America -- Celebrating 50 years of
|
||
Consciousness Research", Hofmann spoke with the great clarity and wisdom
|
||
he has gained from his personal experience.
|
||
|
||
In the excerpts below, he emphasizes the power of expanded perception to
|
||
enable us to understand reality -- indeed, multiple realities -- and
|
||
create our own future. Many of us have experianced the power of this
|
||
realignment of perception, and are hopeful that expanded human
|
||
consciousness will become more avaliable globally for the benefit of Man-
|
||
kind and our planet.
|
||
|
||
"[My realizations] are the result of my own experiments, my own
|
||
perceptions, thinking and feelings, combined with insights which I
|
||
gleaned from the natural sciences.
|
||
|
||
"Of greatest significance to me has been the insight that I attained as a
|
||
fundamental understanding from all my LSD experiences, that what one
|
||
takes as "THE" reality, by no means signifies something fixed, but rather
|
||
something that is ambiguous -- that there is not only one, but that there
|
||
are many realities, each comprising a different consciousness of the
|
||
self.
|
||
|
||
"These reflections led me to conceive of reality as the product of a
|
||
transmitter - the material "exterior" world -- and a reciever - our
|
||
consciousness, the "inner" spiritual centre of a human individual.
|
||
|
||
"In connection with our reflections on reality it is important to note
|
||
the colors do not exist in the exterior world. Mostly we are not aware
|
||
of this basic fact, even though it can be looked up in every textbook on
|
||
physiology. This means that the perception of color is a purely
|
||
psychological and subjective event, taken place in the inner space of an
|
||
individual. The brightly colored world as we see it does not exist on
|
||
the outside. It exists only on the screen inside every individual.
|
||
|
||
"The antennae for acoustic signals, the ear, displays a similar limited
|
||
breadth of reception in its function as part of the reciever, and like
|
||
colors, sounds do not exist objectively. What does exist objectively
|
||
are again waves.
|
||
|
||
=======================================================
|
||
Our real true freedom and responsibility is founded in
|
||
our ability to create . . .
|
||
=======================================================
|
||
|
||
"Just like sound and colors, touch, smell and taste don't exist
|
||
objectively. They too represent purely subjective phenomena, occuring
|
||
only in the inner space of individual humans.
|
||
|
||
"Our understanding [born of intense direct experience of alternate
|
||
realities] makes us aware of the fact that each individual is the
|
||
creator of his or her own world, for it is in each individual mind and
|
||
ONLY there, that the world and the abundance of life it contains . . .
|
||
that the stars and the sky become real, become human reality. Our real
|
||
true freedom and resposibility is founded in our ability to create our
|
||
own individual world.
|
||
|
||
"Once I have recognized what part of reality is objectively on the outside
|
||
and what is subjectively taken place within myself, then I am more aware
|
||
of what I can change in my life, where I have a choice, and thus what I am
|
||
responsible for. Conversely, I become aware of what is beyond my will
|
||
power and has to be accepted as an unalterable fact. This clarification
|
||
of my potential and my responsibilities can be of invaluable help. I have
|
||
the ability to choose what I want to recieve from the endless, infinite
|
||
program of "the great transmitter", from creation.
|
||
|
||
"That means I can let those aspects of creation, or the cosmos, that
|
||
make me happy enter into my consciousness and thus imbue them with
|
||
reality . . . or I can let in other aspects, those that depress me. It
|
||
is I who creates the bright and the dark picture of the world. It is I
|
||
who invests the objects that are only shaped matter in the outer world
|
||
not only with their color, but with my affection and my love -- and also
|
||
their meaning. This applies not only to inanimate surroundings, but
|
||
also to living beings, to the plants and animals and to my fellow
|
||
humans. With this insight, the full creative power of love becomes
|
||
evident.
|
||
|
||
"The transmitter-reciever metaphor for reality reveals another basic
|
||
fact, the fact that reality is not a fixed state. Rather it is the
|
||
result of a continuous input of material and energetic signals from the
|
||
outer world and their continuous decoding and transformation into inner
|
||
conscious experience. This demonstrates reality is a DYNAMIC process,
|
||
being created anew at each moment.
|
||
|
||
"This metaphor of reality would appear to correspond to a dualistic
|
||
concept of the world external space / internal space, objective
|
||
transmitter / subjective reciever. But reality, everyday reality, can
|
||
be experienced and imagined only as a TOTALITY of transmitter AND
|
||
reciever.*
|
||
|
||
In stating that as its borders dualism melts into a multidimensional
|
||
unified continuum, Hofmann has put his finger on the pulse of the great
|
||
paradox upon which realities are woven. This secret is one main
|
||
highway and window into the numinous realms of full human consciousness
|
||
and potential. It can enlighten us in a way that leads us to create
|
||
balance within ourselves and with our delicate planetary ecosystem.
|
||
Hofmann continues: "Dualismis but a construct of our intelligence which
|
||
leads us to believe that the so-called objective exterior world stands
|
||
in opposition to our inner subjective (spiritual) world. The failure to
|
||
grasp that there is no dualism is one of the main reasons, if not THE
|
||
main reason, for the tragic catastrophic developments in our world.
|
||
|
||
74
|
||
"The misuse of this knowledge [sciences and technologies oriented on
|
||
subduing or enslaving nature] could not have emerged from a conscious-
|
||
ness of reality in which human beings perceived themselves as an integral
|
||
part of living nature and the universe. All of today's attempts to make
|
||
attempts to make amends for the damage by adopting enviromentally
|
||
protective measures will remain futile, a superficial patchwork, if no
|
||
change of the dualistic world view ensues . . . until it is replaced by
|
||
an existential experiance of a deeper reality." But how do we reach
|
||
this direct experiance of transpersonal unity? How do we attain
|
||
sufficient intensity of our experience to change our being at core, so
|
||
that the waves of higher consciousness flow outward from us, propaga-
|
||
ting their positive effect in ever-widening circles? Hofmann suggests
|
||
recognizing the natural examples of unity that burgeon all around us in
|
||
nature, and taking to heart the message of completeness and inter-
|
||
relationship that they offer:
|
||
|
||
"In a natural environment there is less danger that a split reality
|
||
experience will arise. In field and forest, and in the animal world
|
||
sheltered therein, indeed in every garden, a reality is perceptible
|
||
that is indefinately more real, older, deeper and more wonderous than
|
||
everything made by man.
|
||
|
||
Hofmann then described Man's age old link to nature through myth and
|
||
initiations into mystery. The influence of the Eleusian Mysteries on
|
||
European intellectual and spiritual history can scarcely be over-
|
||
estimated, he said. His research suggests that the psychedelic used
|
||
in the Eleusinian Mysteries, called "kykeon", probably was derived to
|
||
LSD, linking the ancient mysteries with the role of LSD in our time.
|
||
|
||
"What we urgently need now is evidently the same as was already needed
|
||
during antiquity, namely to be freed from an experiance of reality in
|
||
which the individual feels himself to be seperate from the outer world;
|
||
we need to be healed from a dualism which had and still has such
|
||
catastrophic consequences as expounded in the preceeding reflections.
|
||
|
||
"I see the true importance of LSD . . . in its ability to provide a
|
||
pharmacological aid to meditation -- aimed at the experience of a
|
||
deeper, all-encompasing reality; a reality in which the "outer" material
|
||
and the "inner" subjective worlds, transmitter and reciever, are
|
||
experienced as one."

Book Review
|
||
THE GATEWAY TO INNER SPACE
|
||
|
||
The Gateway to Inner Space: A Festschrift in Honor of Albert Hofmann
|
||
will be published by Prism Press this fall. A Festschrift is a
|
||
traditional German manner of honoring a scientist by calling for papers
|
||
from a number of persons who have been influenced by his work. Edited by
|
||
Christian Ratsch, a cultural anthropologist and friend of Albert
|
||
Hofmann's, this volume reflects the influence which Dr. Hofmann has on a
|
||
number of disciplines dealing with human consciousness in all its forms,
|
||
including psychology, anthropology, chemistry, and art.
|
||
|
||
Following an Introduction by the editor entitled "The Exploration of
|
||
Inner Space", Richard Yensen provides an overview of the history of
|
||
the use of psychoactive substances: "From Mysteries to Paradigms:
|
||
Humanity's Journey from Sacred Plants to Psychedelic Drugs". Yensen's
|
||
discussion leads into a series of papers exploring contemporary thera-
|
||
putic applications of altered states of consciousness. Stanislav Grof,
|
||
in "Beyond the Brain: New Dimensions in Psycology and Psychotherapy",
|
||
presents a discussion of his experiance with psychedelic and holotropic
|
||
therapy and what his findings from this work have to offer other forms
|
||
of psychotherapy and self-exploration. An article by Ralph Metzner,
|
||
"Molecule Mysterism: The Role of Psychoactive Substances in the
|
||
Transformation of Consciousness", describes some of the differences
|
||
between the recreational use of hallucinogens in contemporary American
|
||
society and the mystico-religious manner in which they have been
|
||
utilized in other cultures as tools for gaining deeper insights into
|
||
the nature of the world and of a person's place therein. One of the
|
||
primary reasons why halluciogenic use has led to so many problems
|
||
today, Metzner concludes, is that people often fail to put their
|
||
experiences to use. In contrast, Tom Pinkson's "Purification, Death,
|
||
and Rebirth: The Clinical Use of Entheogens within a Shamanic Context"
|
||
describes how psychoactive compounds, when used properly, can faciliate
|
||
healing experiences even in persons who have little knowledge of non-
|
||
Western cultures and systems of belief. Yet as George Greer makes clear
|
||
in "Using Altered States to Experience Choice", such substances can also
|
||
serve persons outside of the psychotheraputic context.
|
||
|
||
Claudio Naranjo, drawing upon a model he has developed for understanding
|
||
other altered states of consciousness, discusses "Psychedelic Experience
|
||
in the Light of Meditation". Naranjo considers the experiences in the
|
||
two states largely the same, although meditation experiences are
|
||
typically freer from symbolic masking. Folowing Naranjo's article,
|
||
Wolfgang Coral, in "Psychedelic Drugs are Spiritual States of Conscious-
|
||
ness in the Light of Modern Neurochemical Research", describes the
|
||
relationship between alternate states and events within the nervous
|
||
system.
|
||
|
||
Whereas the previous articles reflect research that is typical of what
|
||
may be considered "traditional" approaches to studying chapters may
|
||
provide readers with their first glympse of such work from outside of
|
||
the fields of psychology and neurophysiology. Charles Muses, in "The
|
||
Sacret Planet of Ancient Egypt", discusses Khat, a psychoactive plant
|
||
now identified with CATHA EDULIS. In "St. Anthony's Fire in Yucutan",
|
||
Christian Ratsch tells how the Spaniards misinterpreted what were
|
||
appearently signs of Datura use as symptoms of "St. Anthony's Fire", an
|
||
epithet which was used in Europe to describe the symptoms of ergoism.
|
||
This leads to Claudia Muller-Ebeling's contribution, "The Return to
|
||
Matter - The Temptations of Odilon Redon", in which she uses an art-
|
||
historical perspective to demonstrate how the imagry of St. Anthony's
|
||
tribulations have come to provide a vehicle for artists, including the
|
||
fin de siecle painter Odilon Redon. Artistic imagry is also the concern
|
||
of Terence McKenna, albeit from a different perspective. In "Tryptamine
|
||
Halluciogens and Consciousness", he describes the unique visual
|
||
experiences associated with the tryptamine group.
|
||
|
||
As a summary on the state of the art, the volume concludes with "A Report
|
||
on the Symposium 'On the Current State of Psychoactive Substances'".
|
||
Written by Hanscarl Leuner and Michael Schlichting, this chapter closes
|
||
the circle with the first by providing a broad-based overview of work
|
||
in the field of consciousness.
|
||
|
||
The Gateway to Inner Space is scheduled to appear in September. It
|
||
features art work by Bernard Wambier, a West German artist who has
|
||
specialized in the visual representation of psychedelic experiences.
|
||
Many of the articles were translated by John Baker, an anthropoligist
|
||
whose work investigates the relationship between culture and
|
||
consciousness. Copies are expected to be avaliable through the
|
||
Foundation.

Advisor's Comments
|
||
|
||
Most of the pioneers of psychedelic research from around the world have
|
||
joined our Board of Advisors. Here are a few of their comments:
|
||
|
||
"It is good news that the accumulated information will be avaliable
|
||
and preserved for investigators. If history is any guide, people are
|
||
unlikely to lose interest in the phychedelic experience . . . It is
|
||
ironical that at a time when, according to the psysicists, the status
|
||
of the solid world around us becomes more and more questionable, we
|
||
have chosen to shy away from those chemical instruments that might
|
||
help us to understand and come to terms with the way in which out minds
|
||
tangle with the universe or universes in which we are all involved."
|
||
Humphry Osmond, M.D.
|
||
University of Alabama
|
||
|
||
"[LSD as a] very important scientific and social phenomenon emerged
|
||
early and encountered psychosocial resistances; an archival effort to
|
||
preserve its context for review and/or revivication when our natural
|
||
minds and brains evolutionarily 'catch up' is important work."
|
||
Arnold J. Mandell, M.D.
|
||
University of California, San Diego
|
||
|
||
"In my opinion the existance of psycholytic drugs represents one of
|
||
the greatest knowledges of the twentieth century (although not completely
|
||
new), similar to the finding of Atomic Energy. We have practically no
|
||
other drugs of such introspective capacity as hallucinogens in medical
|
||
hands."
|
||
Milan Hausner, M.D.
|
||
Psychiatrist, Prague
|
||
|
||
"Oscar Janiger's contributions and the Fithugh Ludlow Library [which the
|
||
Foundation hopes to acquire] would serve as an irresistable magnet for
|
||
priceless archives and records from many sources."
|
||
Alexander T. Shurgin, Ph.D.
|
||
Biochemist
|
||
|
||
"I trust that the Foundation will provide a leadership role in the area
|
||
of academic recognition of this important field."
|
||
Marlene Dobkin de Rios, Ph.D.
|
||
Cal. State, Fullerton
|
||
|
||
"I will be glad to contribute to the library and archive."
|
||
Hanscarl Launer, M.D.
|
||
Professor of Psychiatry,
|
||
European College for the Study
|
||
of Consciousness
|
||
|
||
"it is my great hope that efforts like this one will open the way to
|
||
acceptance of LSD research before those of us who spent many years
|
||
learning to work with very powerful psychedelics are dead or too old
|
||
to offer our experience to the new generation of researchers. Without
|
||
such guidance many of the same mistakes would be made again, and, even
|
||
more importently, the advantage of having access to so much experience
|
||
would be lost."

Aldous Huxley once said that the Twentieth Century will be remembered
|
||
as much for the opening of the human mind as for its technological
|
||
achievements. The psychedelic revolution, ushered in by Dr. Hofmann's
|
||
discoveries, has had lasted effects on all areas of society including
|
||
psychology, literature, art and music. Hundreds of books and
|
||
thousands of articles on psychedelics were publised worldwide by the
|
||
late 60's, and today there is a new wave of interest in this material
|
||
and in the resumption of psychedelic research. Without efforts like
|
||
those of The Albert Hofmann Foundation, much of this material will be
|
||
lost or destroyed. Collected and organized, these materials will serve
|
||
as a valuable resource for future generations of researchers and
|
||
historians. Please help up in preserving this valuable legacy by
|
||
becoming a member of the Foundation.
