Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind

Product Information

This book is not about society beyond religion but about society powered by a new psychedelic-based faith. Also, subtly underlying the value of Christianity and its core message, “none of us can escape from, even if we wanted” :)) Let’s get practical. Five of the most potent and accessible physical drivers to shape consciousness and culture and help us build Meaning 3.0 are: Meduna test" by Stanislav Graf: 30% O2 / 70% CO2 mixture - used to screen for psychosis risk to LSD

The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own.”― Frank Zappa A big part of Jamie’s message and the solution moving forward is psychedelics enabling us a deeper state of consciousness. Like that would be a truer reality than our everyday one.He has advised the executives at Deloitte, Red Bull, Google, Lululemon, Facebook, TD Ameritrade, Nike, and Goldman Sachs. Matthew 24:30-31 is a portion of Jesus’ teaching about his return. In this passage he says that all the peoples of the earth will see him coming in the clouds. And that with a trumpet call, he will send his angels to gather his elect from throughout the earth. When will this second coming of Christ and our being gathered to him occur? The best answer we can give with any certainty is that it will be at the end of this age. In Matthew 24:3 Jesus’ disciples ask about Jesus coming and the end of the age. Jesus’ response to their question culminates with the passage mentioned above with Jesus’ return and our being gathered to him. In Recapture the Rapture, we’re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream--to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It’s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do now?

To recap: A viable candidate for Meaning 3.0 will need to fulfill the pro-social functions of traditional 1.0 Faith—Inspiration, Healing, and Connection. And, to stand a chance of helping the world, it needs to fulfill the inclusive promise of 2.0 Modernism, and be Open Source, Scalable, and Anti-fragile. The death of belief has led to a collapse of meaning, and many of us are looking to neuroscience and psychology for inspiration and understanding. Wheal knows that peak states bring about deep healing, and he is here to deliver. This enrapturing book not only details various drivers of our cultural evolution, it becomes one itself.”— Julie Holland, MD, Author of Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection From Soul to Psychedelics and Weekends at Bellevue

We’re living in crazy times of narrative collapse, climate crisis, rising fascism, and record low institutional trust. This book gave me the resolution of a Spartan warrior to fight the crises of our time. In this book, he first outlines the current state of the world and the need for a change, coined 'choose your own apocalypse, he then hands you the manual to assessing peak states, the 'alchemists cookbook' and finally offers ways in which we can build communities around access to these states in a healthy and open way, 'ethical cult building'.

To counter this predictable suppression of transformational movements is simple. Widely share recipes that enhance individual and communal sovereignty, using ingredients that are easily accessible. Democratize transcendence. The Meaning 3.0 Flywheel

This book is about open sourcing things that are currently exclusive. It's about embracing who we are on a deeper level. The stories and history in this book fascinated me and made me think. Embodiment – Our parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems play a huge role in our health, wellbeing, and stress resilience. Jamie Wheal maps out a revolutionary new practice—Hedonic Engineering—that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It’s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections—helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all.

Second, the most popular review of her book states points out that while her theory is interesting and well presented in the actual scientific paper it was published, the book has misleading claims and strawman “classical neuropsychology”. While I did not read the book yet, the reviewer posted several links and resources to support his position:Meaning 1.0 was all about salvation for the faithful. Religion has always promised inspiration, healing and connection – but it did so while raising up a select group of followers who deserved such benefits, while punishing the nonbelievers.
