MORE ABOUT == Patrick
Lundborg (1967 – June 7, 2014) was a writer on psychedelic culture and author
of the books Psychedelia and The Acid Archives. Lundborg had a bachelor of
science degree in applied systems science ('datavetenskap' in Swedish) from
Works == Essays and monographs == With special focus on psychedelic music and culture, Lundborg wrote numerous magazine articles and CD liner notes within the field. Among his earlier works are The Age Of Madness (1992), a guide to 1960s garage compilations and 45s, and 13th Floor Elevators–The Complete Reference File (1999, 2002).
In recent years, Lundborg’s
writings have also appeared in magazines such as Ugly Things (US), Shindig! (
The Acid Archives == The Acid
Archives, Lundborg’s first major work, went through four printings in the
original 2006 edition. The book documents and reviews 4,000 underground LPs
from the
In 2010, a Second Edition of The Acid Archives book appeared, printed in color and expanded to 400 pages. The book is currently still in print, and now also available as a downloadable digital e-book.
Psychedelia
== In 2012, Lundborg's latest and largest writing project was launched with the
publication of Psychedelia - An Ancient Culture, A Modern Way Of Life
(Lysergia). Unlike Lundborg's earlier works, the Psychedelia book is expanded to cover a much wider field
than music. Psychedelic culture is traced from its beginnings with the
hallucinogenic celebrations at
A permanent alternative spiritual culture of the West is outlined as Lundborg
follows the impulse from
Psychedelic philosophy and the purposeless play == A psychedelic philosophy drawn from classic Platonism and the modern phenomenology of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty is presented as a foundation for a modern psychedelic lifestyle. Lundborg links the German phenomenologist Eugen Fink's notion of life as 'play' with the 'purposeless play' advocated by John Cage and Alan Watts, thereby expanding the phenomenological stance into an approach to life in general.
The higher spiritual world which emerges in the peak states of the psychedelic experience can be seen reflected in the joys and wonders of nature and everyday life. Repeat exposure will cause the development of a hedonistic-pantheistic lifestyle, where like-minded individuals congregate in enclaves or 'tribes' for shared psychedelic celebrations.
This double
positive of mundane joy and transcendental bliss is found expressed in many key
psychedelic works. Lundborg puts this spiritual lifestyle in contrast with the
Abrahamic religions that came to dominate the West as Plato's mystic
individualism and the psychedelic initiations at
Unified Psychedelic Theory == The last chapters of Psychedelia examine the need for and difficulties in mapping out the Innerspace of psychedelic experiences, and discusses several ways in which this could be done, along with the presentation of a generalized trip model that outlines the stages and thematic contents of a typical psychedelic journey.
A speculative explanatory model for the bizarre, yet frequently recurring visionary experiences available via high-dose tryptamine drugs like DMT, ayahuasca and psilocybin is presented, based on the latest theories in neurophenomenology and bio-evolutionary research. Lundborg's Unified Psychedelic Theory (UPT) ties together the unbiased, phenomenological approach to psychedelic states with anthropologist Michael Winkelman's neuropsychological model of altered consciousness and Paul MacLean's triune brain, and adds a suggestion that several of the more enigmatic aspects of the higher psychedelic states can be explained via residuals of ancient evolutionary responses to genetic matter of a cosmic origin, what is known as panspermia.
The UPT hypothesis solves several lingering questions around the recurring contents of the psychedelic entheogens experience, the tryptamine spectrum in particular.
