About this listen

 There is a force in transpersonal consciousness that seeks to destroy at the levels of person, society, civilization, and planet. Shamans call its manifestations shitana or bad spirits, traditional religions see demons or djinns or hungry ghosts, and psychologists diagnose “negative autonomous complexes” or “unattached burdens.” It is transcendental evil.

In the parareality game of Phonomancer™, we call this force "Resistance." It is the great white shark of consciousness, the unbearable internal screaming that drives a mother of four to drown her children in a bathtub, the decision to fly airplanes into buildings in hopes of starting a war. It is the root of the diseased thoughts that fuel depression, anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia. It is stupidity and squalor and despair and madness that never ever ends.

Psychedelics make us more vulnerable to Its predation, but they can also be a means to improve our understanding.
To mitigate the effects of Resistance on ourselves and the world, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW proposes a radically pragmatic shamanic psychology: using entheogens to directly observe transcendental evil at work in the psyche, describing Its presentations phenomenologically, drawing on these experiences to recognize and overcome Its influence in everyday life, and teaching others to do the same.

Part autobiographical grimoire, part experimental novel, part hypersigil, part travelogue of the Chapel Perilous, and containing the most extensive catalog of entheogenic visionary material ever collected, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW is a modern classic of DIY shamanism.
