Psychonaut's Guide to the Invisible Landscape: The Topography of the Psychedelic Experience »

Dan Carpenter (1963-2005) took 13 high-dose, closed-eye trips using DXM between January 2003 and July 2004, which he has documented in the book A Psychonaut's Guide to the Invisible Landscape.

Into territory where expression is like chaos theory, where oddly symmetrical order manifests out of the seemingly anarchic swirl of images and events, the author ventures with the mind-set of a naturalist. What emerges is an objective landscape that embodies the Other and that represents a conscious state in which the barriers between self and not-self dissolve.
