The Far-off land An attempt at a philosophical evaluation of the hallucinogenic drug experience discussion

Eugene Seaich's THE FAR-OFF Land (An Attempt At a Philosophical Evaluation of the Hallucinogenic Drug Experience) is a gem of a book which is short enough to be read in a day and with enough substance to feed the reader's head and soul for a lifetime. Written over 50 years ago, this little known work has is now seeing the light of day and has all the attributes of a becoming a classic of psychedelic literature. Connecting with eloquent style and sensitivity the portals of psychology, philosophy,cultural anthropology and spirituality, Seaich discusses and brings closer to our access an awareness of a "far-off land" whose essence is both dream and primal human identity. Poets and religions only offer a small glimpse of such a place while our psyche thirsts for its often forgotten nurturance. We are fortunate that Eugene's grandson Eric Hendrickson has surfaced the FAR-OFF LAND and I invite everyone interested in understanding a higher calling to reflect on the text which also be of expansive help in navigating to those ports of our long lost homeland.
