Entheogenic Liberation

Unraveling the Enigma of Nonduality with 5-MeO-DMT Energetic Therapy

By: Dr. Martin W. Ball PhD

Narrated by: Martin W. Ball

From the author of the groundbreaking book Being Human comes a radical new guide to personal liberation and transformation. Authored by one of the world's leading authorities on nonduality and psychedelic experience, Martin W. Ball, PhD, Entheogenic Liberation is the definitive work on 5-MeO-DMT and its applicability to genuine enlightenment and freedom from the illusory prison of the ego.

With wisdom and guidance culled from years of direct therapeutic work, this audiobook lays out precise and detailed instructions and methodologies for working with the world's most powerful entheogenic medicine for the purpose of achieving liberation into the fundamental unitary state of being. Presented as a form of therapy, this work is free from metaphysics and speculation, articulating practical approaches for deep entheogenic work that can achieve radical and meaningful results.

The ideas and techniques explored here could revolutionize the way people think of psychedelics, nonduality, human life, and reality in general. Provocative, challenging, and deeply insightful, Entheogenic Liberation is a must-listen for anyone serious about liberation and the future of humanity - a future that is grounded in truth or lost in illusion and the perpetual confusions of the human ego.

Beyond the artificial construct of the individual self lies an infinite unitary state of love, awareness, and authentic being. By working to energetically unwind the unconscious artifice of the ego, the possibility of true freedom calls.

Only you can liberate yourself. Are you ready?

This audiobook is read by the author and features the original music of Fractal Love Jam (Martin Ball and Jessalynn Jones).

Excellent information on Entheogen use in general

Unfortunately I have yet to experience 5-MEO-DMT, however, I have found this guide invaluable in deepening my own practice of self-observation work and work with other entheogens. It is such a pleasure to have so many different and complementary works from Martin W. Ball. Each it's own, unique, and powerful teaching. Thank you Martin for all you've shared with me and please keep writing! :)

Spectacular book

Martin provides incredible insight regarding 5MEODMT process and what it all means. This is the most meaningful book that I have ever read. Thank you for all that you do Martin!

good, but full of contradiction

There's some very good points made in this book,and I certainly learned about a couple of places where my ego is keeping its stash. But there is a lot of contradictory information.
At one point he claimed chakras aren't a thing then in the next section he explained chakras without using the word chakras.

He says that there is no shamanistic practice needed. and then list exactly how you have to do the procedure a shaman would preform.

there's also a part where he says there are no souls or spirits but in my opinion doesn't do it very good job of backing up these claims.

since he narrated his own book you can tell when his ego is actually taking the bit and running with it.

Best Book of All

Very direct and pure experienced information… loved it and going to listen to it at least one more time

Valuable with discernment

Martin is one of the most emphatic people I've encountered. His delivery can be summarized with an undercurrent message of: "What I have to say - every single word - is the most important words ever spoken anywhere and is only available HERE." This is of course Martin's opinion - his ego's opinion to be more accurate. Yet this is particularly glaring when his focus is his personal opinion about "exclusive" information about non-duality.

I dwell on this because it's important to get past this hypocrisy and arrogance to learn some of the many unique and potentially valuable things Martin has learned and is attempting to convey through language, His ego and beliefs have a spin on this territory and I'm not sure if or whether he is able to differentiate that.

How I relate to this:

1) All language is an architecture of ideas and to truly see what an author is trying to convey the language must be defined - particularly in such vague and grandiose words as "universal" love. I have not heard Martin discuss what he means by this so I have no way of knowing what he means by what he is saying and how that relates to his day-to-day life. I imagine that Martin is very good with clear "yes" and "no" signals in his life - more than most - and these are of course the core nature of human duality: the fact that in each moment an individual is always saying "yes" to one thing and "no" to everything else in that moment. It is funny to observe one of the most sharply defined individuals in terms of "yes" and "no" teach non-duality. Martin does "not" provide one-on-one session for anyone - no exceptions. He "does" write books about things "that cannot be found anywhere else."

2) It's these latter sweeping claims that "there are no other practitioners" and "this is the only place these unique ideas are presented" that lead into the grandiose. It's not that I'm not inclined to agree with some of these statements as being as true as any other statement that could be made. It's just that Martin, from one lifetime and one ego is extrapolating that because he has not found such and such at this point in time, it does not exist, rests heavily on his ego and denies most of the possibility field/ probability field that clearly exists outside of his rigidity.

3) I note that in the five hundred books I've read over the past six years on Audible he places himself into the reader's position with a similar rigidity and humorous level of arrogance: "If you want this (don't bother to define the words) then this is for you. If you don't want this (don't bother to define the words) then this is not for you. "You will feel frustrated, uncomfortable, ecstatic etc." as presumably the projection that whatever Martin's ego has observed in his limited sampling of some hundreds or thousands of people from his vantage point must be all that anyone could possibly experience.

I think that it's natural when one has profound experiences that are more real than anything one has experienced before, and been told hundreds of times "this is the most profound thing thing I've ever experienced and it's associated with you" that it is normal to want to emphasize that point in some way. Since the ego (Martin's) is the lens through which he digests these data points through the fabric of his own beliefs and ideas and paradigms and memories then it seems to have strengthened his ego's confidence in it's version of reality in a seemingly hierarchical position relative to other opinions. Yet I feel the messages are weakened by his verbal demands that one conform to his experience.

I find this particularly glaring as a friction point:

1) Martin does not have a monopoly on truth, a monopoly on transcendence and a monopoly on experiences that lead one to grapple with transcendent experiences in a dualistic framework of language. Mystics are and continue to and have grappled with this paradox for thousands of years.

2) Martin can predict probability fields: "Most people of my X1000 sample have reacted this way so you probably will as well, given that you are a reader in this culture at this point in time - the same place I got my samples of anecdotal data. But he cannot predict any individual's response with certainty.

3) There are many reasons to read Martin's book. One reason I read it is to notice how his traits affect me. Another is to speculate on what type of person welcomes an apparent "god" authority figure without any push-back. Erich Fromm wrote "Escape from Freedom" to help understand why Hitler was so appealing to the Germans. That brings up a good point. Hitler is one of the few people who has emphasized things through words with the same certainty as Martin. Different message, but similar degrees of self-confidence and assertiveness. Based on Germany, I have no doubt that for better or worse Martin will have a "following" of people who seek to depend on another human being to give them non-dual knowledge which presumably they could access without Martin, but they doubt their own thoughts and insights more than Martin doubt's his own. So it's comforting to latch onto another's perspective.

I note that Martin is instructing people to read or not to read and what that means in the first few sentences in a way that is suggestive. "If you continue reading the only valid reason to do so is my reasons and so continuing to read constitutes consent to interpret your choices by my delineated either/or definitions."

I imagine that many men who lack confidence see in Martin a successful certainty that they lack in a culture that shames men for being indecisive and rewards them with sex and often power for successfully advocating for any rigid dogma. It's one reason we have so much political dogma rather than dialog and understanding. Martin would make a great republican preacher if he chose to represent past dogmas rather than new dogmas - as it is he satisfies the need for certainty within the future-seeking group that wants to reject the past, the organized, the traditional.

In summary, I know enough to know that all language is incomplete, false, illusion and ultimately a barrier to truth. Finding that Martin holds on to his so dearly leaves me skeptical that he is capable of teaching others how to believe their own beliefs less when Martin does not open his mouth without an entrenched framework of underlying assumptions, suppositions and beliefs that are not constructed any better than many who have sat down to write a book, but are said with far more conviction in their absolute truth, communicated tonally (it would help if Martin had someone else read the book, but I suspect he would not do that because someone else might not convey just how important every word was and the content is not as impressive as the confidence with which it is delivered).

Do I think that Martin's ego has something to teach? Yes. So does yours. Would Martin listen to you with the same emphasis as he listens to himself? I doubt it. Will many people unsure of themselves listen to Martin more than their own ideas? Possibly. If they do, that will be beneficial in some instances and not in others, relative to their unique situation. Even the word "prison" is subjective. The ego is a prison. The ego is a prism. The ego is a lens through which to relate. The ego is illusion. The ego creates unique truth. The ego is fun. The ego creates suffering. It's all true. What human beings have desired innately throughout time is to feel sustainably better on more and more dimensions, and avoid feeling chronically worse in a helpless state. Some of Martin's words will help some on that path. Some will not. The prison of Martin's ideology (even the most psychedelic experience is viewed through the ego with language or it is not conscious) may be lighter and less constrictive than the prison of the readers prior ideology. And this really is what this marketplace is all about: Tens of millions of people all saying "What I have to say will give you more of what you want then not listening to me. Buy my book." This promise is usually true for a certain percentage of people. And it's false for the rest.

Conclusion: I try and take 1-3 actionable choices from every book that improve the quality of my life. I think this book can yield that if I step beyond Martin's egoic dogmas and learn what a unique human being has experienced in an exciting frontier of human evolution. I like writing these critiques in part so that my own ego is not hung up on unspoken criticisms and I can go on to listen deeply.

not a fan of the music at the end of the chapters

Interesting concepts communicated as fact

It took some work to get through this information because the writer wrote this information like it was empirical fact when In reality they are concepts that cannot be empirically substantiated with the tools currently available to science. He says that “spirits are not real” yet says that god is. Lost me right there. I get that it is much safer to not view entity encounters as being “outside of one’s self” I feel it’s a ridiculous and simple way to look at it. I also get that using language to convey is always a slippery slope, it was pretty much the most dualistic and ego indulgent representation I’ve seen yet.

Excellent Perspective & Knowledge in using Entheogens

I immediately purchased this book; and being human on recommendation from a friend who I met for the first time after having my first 5meo-DMT experience. The 5meo-DMT experience was radically different & life changing from anything I have ever done which was pretty much only Ayahuasca and Marijuana. This book has brought new light and perspective as well as confidence when approaching the medicines. I highly recommend this book, reading it with an open heart and mind and especially after a having a 5meo-DMT experience for the first time clicks everything into place. Thank you Martin!

spectacular

I loved this so much and am eternally grateful that this information has been presented here in this book. It seems as though this was written more as a guide for both providers and seekers of non dual liberation using primarily 5-meodmt.
I'm sure I will re listen to this several times as there is a vast amount of information here.
this book will probably be a struggle for most to consume as it has a large focus on removing spirituality and religion.
forever grateful for this literature

An acurate perception

This book is/was vastly helpful for explaining the process i'm going through to myself/my family in a more concise way.
