Rare Vintage Find (1960s Original Edition)
The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience
by R.E.L. Masters & Jean Houston, Ph.D.
Dell / Delta Publishing, Third Printing (c.1966)
A true classic of the psychedelic era — this book is among the first serious attempts to understand how LSD and other consciousness-expanding substances affect the human mind and spirit. Written by two pioneering psychologists, it explores visions, mystical awakenings, ego-loss, and the profound transformation of self through guided psychedelic sessions.
The authors combine scientific observation with spiritual insight, creating a bridge between psychology, philosophy, and the inner universe. As Alan Watts once said, this book offers “an excellent counterbalance to the current hysterias” — a calm, thoughtful exploration of the mind’s vast landscape.
