Neuropsychopharmacologist, Zeus Tipado, chats with Madison Margolin about the ways that belief effects altered states.

“It’s safe to say that the psychedelic experience pushes the brain to a much more complex state that can not be achieved with traditional meditation.” – Zeus Tipado

This time on Set and Setting, Madison converses Zeus Tipado on:

  • Zeus’s upbringing and history with voodoo
  • Using religion to understand a Psilocybin trip
  • Religion versus spirituality
  • The power of the brain to induce experiences
  • Placebo and the science of belief
  • God as the psychedelic
  • Microdosing and the expectancy effect
  • How brain structure may affect our religious experiences
  • The Mystical Experience Questionnaire
  • Introverted versus extroverted mysticism
  • Removing ego death from the psychedelic experiences
  • Schizophrenia, Mania, and other altered states
  • Psychedelic-induced psychosis
  • Creativity and divergent thinking
  • The afterglow of a psychedelic experience
  • Electromagnetism and the science of the soul

“The way I understand religion is it’s almost like the embodied practices in order to contain spirituality which is so vast and beyond words.” – Madison Margolin
