	MAYBE QUARTERLY - Vol 3 / Issue 2 - Daniel Pinchbeck Interview
		Pinchbeck has put himself through some sort of vision quest these past ten years, and has the wherewith all to document such ventures into his psyche while he watched his formerly materialistic philosophy peel back and fold over like a shimmering psychedelic Mobius strip, to where he finds himself today.
		Pinchbeck's journey from jaded New York postmodern nihilism to that of an initiate into his own humanity, with the help of a few different entheogens was a big one.
		Pinchbeck: One way to look at what's happening on a global scale right now is like there is this movement from the Third Chakra, which is the gut, to the fourth Chakra, which is the Heart.

	Daniel Pinchbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Breaking Open the Head, Pinchbeck explored shamanism via ceremonies with tribal groups such as the Bwiti of Gabon and the Secoya in the Ecuadorean Amazon.
		At the time, he was participating in a ceremony of the Santo Daime, a Brazilian religion that uses the psychedelic brew ayahuasca as its sacrament.
		Daniel is interviewed by the Viking Youth Power Hour about 2012, the shifting world economy, and the value and implications of drug-induced possession states.

	Rolling Stone : Daniel Pinchbeck and the New Psychedelic Elite
		It's midnight on a Sunday night, and Daniel Pinchbeck, a pop psychedelic author, is smoking a cigarette on the couch of a dramatically sparse apartment in Manhattan's East Village.
		Pinchbeck chuckles and walks over to a futon covered with a bright orange quilt on which a slim brunette is lying facedown.
		Pinchbeck thinks the answer may lie in the potential of psychedelics to transmit a new consciousness at the moment of our peril.

	Paranormal Radio Talk Featuring Reporter Daniel Pinchbeck on the new psychedelic revolution
		Daniel Pinchbeck has written features for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Wired, Harper's Bazaar, The Village Voice, Salon, and many other publications.
		In the late 1990s, after years of working in the media, Pinchbeck fell into the classic existential or spiritual crisis.
		Through direct experience, Pinchbeck learned that shamanism was a real phenomenon, that direct access to the spiritual world is available to anybody who is willing to explore for themselves and escape the prevailing orthodoxies, the "irrational rationality" of the current system.

	UFO Area Books - 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck
		The result is an unprecedented and riveting inquiry into where humanity is immediately headed - and its strange and startling congruence with the ideas of the mysterious civilization of the Classical Maya.
		But the unexpected occurred: Pinchbeck found himself increasingly pulled into the shamanic and metaphysical realms he was reporting on as a journalist.
		"Daniel Pinchbeck's 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl is a dazzling kaleidoscopic journey through the quixotic hinterlands of consciousness, crop circles, and ancient prophecy, as well as an intriguing and deeply personal odyssey of transformation.

	Erowid Library/Bookstore : 'Breaking Open the Head', by Daniel Pinchbeck
		Pinchbeck alternates between personal journey and cultural history, spinning a thread which connects all of us - psychonauts, policy makers and just plain folks - to something greater than ourselves.
		Suffice it to say that psychedelics, for Pinchbeck, provide a portal to the "manifold phalanxes of sentient entities beyond the realm of the sensible." Pinchbeck here lays himself open to the knee-jerk reaction that this means taking leave of your senses and entering the realm of nonsense...
		Pinchbeck's unsettling odyssey forces us to confront the unexamined assumptions in our attitude not just toward mind-altering substances but toward premodern thought, epistemology and the validity of mystical experiences...

	Books by Daniel Pinchbeck - Biography and Bibliography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Sometime in the late 1990s, Daniel Pinchbeck, a bohemian New York writer, and founder of the journal Open City, reinvented himself, with the help of copious hallucinogenic substances, as a psychedelic shaman.
		In his book 2012, Pinchbeck describes his vision of how, at the end of the Mayan "great cycle," the world as we know it will be radically altered and a neo-New Age shift in consciousness will forever alter our fragile modernity.
		Along with Pinchbeck's prophetic insights, the book serves as a repudiation of collapse of the ideals of the 1960s, and a wild shout of defiance against the rise of the monolithic global structures of the age.

		Pinchbeck pays a great deal of lip service to the necessity of compassion and community, but all his stories are about skipping from country to country, enjoying himself at Burning Man, exploring the jungles of priestesses and princesses...all quite selfish pursuits.
		Daniel Pinchbeck's writing is tremendously erudite, and I felt if anybody could make the whole concept understandable, it would be him.
		Daniel Pinchbeck has the makings of a great writer in him, and hopefully his future work will reflect that.

	Rolling Stone : Daniel Pinchbeck and the New Psychedelic Elite
		Pinchbeck, who is actively bidding to become his generation's Timothy Leary -- or, more precisely, the less famous psychedelic thinker Terence McKenna -- has created a scene around him that is perhaps the youngest and most vibrant of the current psychedelic establishment.
		But Pinchbeck's most popular choice of mind-bender is ayahuasca, an Amazonian jungle brew that carries the DMT compound, usually combining the leaves of a plant containing DMT with a vine found snaking around rain-forest trees, whose beta-carbolines make the DMT orally active.
		When young Pinchbeck was two and in his highchair, Hoffman appeared at their window after the Chicago Democratic National Convention, screaming, "I have a book!"; upstairs, he grabbed a banana out of Pinchbeck's hand and astonished him by breaking it in half and eating it.

	BREAKING OPEN THE HEAD - Daniel Pinchbeck \| TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History
		It is obvious immediately that Pinchbeck intends to "hang his laundry in public", with extended commentaries on his personal 'issues' and opinions.
		But it is other events in Pinchbeck's life which coincide with the Burning Man Festivals, that have far more impact on the commentary and the metamorphosis that he is undergoing.
		Pinchbeck takes the short handle to Leary, branding him as "a central villain in the psychedelic saga...naïve, charismatic, sloppy, self-promotional and out of control".

	Speaking Shamanic with Daniel Pinchbeck \| TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History
		Daniel Pinchbeck is the author of BREAKING OPEN THE HEAD (available from Amazon US and UK).
		BREAKING OPEN THE HEAD is a personal journey of discovery in which Pinchbeck acts upon his disenchantment with modern urban life and sets out on a quest to reconnect with what he terms the 'archaic tradition'.
		Unless you believe that some mystic will wave his magic wand and all this goes away in a flash, it will take a concerted effort by many with formal education in the sciences who happen to have their minds open and searching for the links to the intangible world.

	2012 -- then what? / Daniel Pinchbeck / Evidence of the upcoming shift signified by the end of the Mayan calendar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A New York City native with arty parents, Pinchbeck was a functioning part of a hard-drinking writing scene in New York in the 1990s, where he founded a literary magazine, Open City, and freelanced for mainstream magazines such as Rolling Stone and Esquire.
		It seems odd that Pinchbeck wouldn't have anticipated this; one of the principal themes of "Breaking Open the Head," which gets carried to further extremes in "2012," is how threatening the mystical, occult, otherworldly and psychedelic can be to contemporary American culture.
		His investigation leads him to the conclusion that all of the events are already heavily in motion, that a merging of Eastern and Western thought, lunar and solar, the bird and the snake has begun.

	Boing Boing: Profile of psychedelic author Daniel Pinchbeck
		Pinchbeck writes books about and turns people on to ayahuasca, "an Amazonian jungle brew that carries the DMT compound, usually combining the leaves of a plant containing DMT with a vine found snaking around rain-forest trees, whose beta-carbolines make the DMT orally active."
		[Pinchbeck] took it for the first time about ten years ago in downtown Manhattan with a California shaman introduced to him by the poet Michael Brownstein; Pinchbeck wore Depends and a blindfold, and kept a plastic vomit bucket by his head.
		Daniel Pinchbeck has written a couple of responses to the profile (here and here):

		Having gotten to know Daniel on a personal level; he is a kind and gentle fellow, and I'm quite certain, having read the Rolling Stone piece is a distortion of his life and philosophy.
		However, in Daniel's case I think he genuinely believes he is some kind of profit and needs to spread the word as fast as possible.
		Pinchbeck trashed Leary in his first book based on what DP had heard or read about TL in The Media, not by studying what Leary had said or wrote.

	Daniel Pinchbeck on Viking Youth - PCA Forum
		This week the Vikings sit down with author Daniel Pinchbeck to discuss how the research for his book "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl" shifted from intellectual excersise into an unfolding of prophecy and the actualization of work in service of recontextualizing the world from which these prophecies emenated.
		We discuss the changing face of western culture and how the roll Burning Man is playing in that shift can be related to the way the beats created culture from their relatively small base.
		Finally we discuss the visionary mandate Daniel received during an Ayahuasca ceremony telling him he was an avatar of Quetzelcoatl.

	Breaking open the head : a psychedelic j… by Daniel Pinchbeck \| LibraryThing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I expected the standard fare: metaphysically curious seeker uses plant friends to anaesthetize himself against the manic neuroses of modern life, describes his drug experiences, says something is obviously missing from the world but still isn't sure what, blah-blah.
		There is nevertheless a great deal of New-Aginess in Breaking Open the Head, but Pinchbeck is refreshingly skeptical of his own experiences and beliefs, and is willing to deflate movement icons like Terrence McKenna when necessary (he trashes Timothy Leary, who deserved it).
		Pinchbeck's sense of his own cosmic significance seems to have accelerated towards a spiritual singularity, but this self-styled shamanic awakening remains an excellent clarion call for humility, conservation of old wisdom, and the raising of our species' consciousness.

	village voice > books > Daniel Pinchbeck's 2012: The Return of the Quetzalcoatl by Carla Blumenkranz
		Daniel Pinchbeck's new spirtualist manifesto 2012 is understandably hesitant to make itself plain.
		But if he's correct there's not much time left to put faith on the table: half a decade, in fact, until the return of the Mayan god Quetzacoatl and the elevation of human consciousness to a new plane of psychic harmony.
		This total coherence, as Pinchbeck explains it, exposes at least one of two circumstances: the truth of a "fantastically complicated visionary revelation" of a vague new order and "a symptom of mental illness." Whether we believe in the first is the very heart of the matter.

		DANIEL: We tend to think of visionaries and philosophers of the past as being static thinkers whose thought is preserved, as it were, in a kind of psychic amber.
		pinchbeck is so full of himself that he almost manages to say something interesting on several occasions, but just can’t get over the fact that he’s read a few books, and had some mild success with his musings.
