This book is a zany romp through the psychedelic sixties and seventies written by an actual "Psychedelic Grandpa", who was there back then. It may be worth a look for those who today experiment with substances and strange experiences, or for parents, other old trippers, or the curious. He remembers the madness of tripping out of it on LSD, many times, in the UK and USA and tries to make sense of the weird and wonderful events ensuing as humorous reflections on the brain contents so revealed. All the while he is considering maybe he was "round the bend" and tipped into psychosis or some superreal reality; "what is real?" or "what to believe?" are recurrent phrases and themes, today they are memes, questions we all ask. Does it eventually matter? It is a mad world under destruction we are living in anyway. Maybe when the reducing safety valve of banal everyday consciousness is removed all minds are capable of visiting cosmic dimensions previously only accessible to odd far-seeing visionaries and shamanic interpreters of other dimensions. Perhaps new recognition of the capabilities of the mind as revealed by super psychedelics reveals a new way ahead, into a spirit dimension. Here are the chapter headings, so see for yourself, do you want to enter in?........... Table of Contents Introduction LSD Blew 0pen Grandad's Windows, in the beginning.

Elevated, visionary, even a mystical entheogenic consciousness for some, possibly sacramental, far-seeing but ineffable, it is difficult to reproduce in linear language and comprehend when back in 'normality'. Try it for yourself, the door is open, enter in by purchasing, the only way.... See how "LSD Blew Out Grandad's Windows" and he tries to integrate the experiences.
