An Indigenous therapist/psychonaut evaluated the Copenhagen Music Program for Psilocybin during a 3.5 gram psilocybin journey and found that its musical selections evoke colonial and religious contexts and are psychologically and emotionally coercive, designed to steer the experience along a predetermined path. The program is deemed unsuitable for Indigenous travelers. The authors suggest curating a broader range of playlists and incorporating music aligned with traditional shamanic practices as a more appropriate approach to psychedelic therapy.
Religion and spirituality, often dismissed as reactionary or illusory since Marx, contain an authentic revolutionary core. Drawing on biographical examples, the paper argues that human spirituality is not a primitive holdover but essentially revolutionary. In the face of escalating global ecological, political, and economic crises, this core must be examined, recovered, and embraced as part of local and global strategies for transformation.
