Synchronistic Enlightenment or Psychosis, Chris Mackey, EP 327

Описание: Psychologist Chris Mackey can consciously create an inner-amphetamine-like state using his own brain chemistry. He used this fantastic ability to increase synchronicities that helped him solve difficult problems. Was he psychotic? No. The proof? He got things done and could turn off the hypomanic state. His story illustrates the borderland between psychosis and practical synchronicities.
