    An Engaging Read on the Mystery of the Mind & Existence Itself
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2021*

Well before Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind, Dr. Bill Richards was investigating the effect of psychedelics on the human psyche. What’s distinct about Dr. Richards’ experience is that he can speak openly about his own personal psychedelic journeys (which were undertaken in above ground legal contexts) as well as his research into psychedelic psychotherapy that spans the original decades of work (his being mostly in the 60’s) to the current renaissance. Sacred Knowledge is a mix of memoir, scholarship, and open wonder about the mysterious experiences psychedelics can elicit when taken with respect and in the optimal setting.Some of the more disgruntled reviewers, in my reading, actually mischaracterize Dr. Richards as being overly narrow or confident in discussing some of the spiritual and mystical-like experiences psychedelics can produce. Having seen him speak on multiple occasions and even the pleasure of knowing him personally, I can attest that Dr. Richards indeed embodies a rare mix of intelligence, heart, and authenticity. His decades of life experiences, psychedelic and otherwise, have left him with a genuine playfulness and curiosity into his older years mixed with well-earned wisdom. He remains down to Earth, deeply compassionate, and eager to support his clients, students, and colleagues as they undertake their own life journeys.In Sacred Knowledge, I especially appreciated his willingness to ponder openly many of the mysteries that people can confront while experiencing psychedelic states of consciousness. Not everyone will be convinced that psychedelic experiences reveal a genuine sacred nature behind our everyday reality. Nor need they be. But by offering his own take on these questions and possibilities, Dr. Richards offers one voice among many in support of the growing psychedelic renaissance. As long as we can foster a similar sense of care and deep respect of these substances, we have much to learn and explore in the coming years about the potential for psychedelics to heal and transform.

    An amazing book
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020*

Sacred knowledge was a brilliant read, I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in the world of psychedelics or therapy!  Not only was it an interesting book due to the subject matter, but I found Dr. Richards writing style to be engaging and easy to follow, especially as someone who doesn't have a a strong background in research or therapy.  In between talks of research and psilocybin there are personal anecdotes, which are interesting and occasionally humorous.  10/10 would read again!

    A True Classic!
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021*

Bill Richards is  a pioneer in the field of psychedelic studies and research. He has written a  seminal  work that has become required reading for anyone seriously interested in religious experience and psychedelic research. In fact, this book was  required reading for my program on Psychedelic Studies and Research at CIIS and I can see why! It is a compelling and well-documented read illustrating the powerful work being done to alleviate human suffering through  psychedelic enhanced psychotherapy.  It is a treat to hear about the work through one of its early pioneers.  I highly recommend it!
