The Birth of the Future Human with Chris Bache

Summary

Philosopher Chris Bache describes visions from his 73 high-dose LSD sessions, received over 20 years, that he believes revealed humanity's next evolutionary step: the birth of the 'future human.' He claims a vast creative intelligence of the universe showed him that our species is entering a collective death-and-rebirth process, a painful purification of accumulated karma that will lead to a more compassionate, awakened humanity. Drawing on reincarnation, mysticism, and his 'Diamond Soul' experience, he frames today's global crises as the labor pains of a new kind of human being.

Key takeaways

• 1Chris Bache conducted 73 high-dose LSD sessions over 20 years using Stanislav Grof's protocol, and received 'visions of awakening' between 1991 and 1994 (roughly sessions 23-42)
• 2Session 55, the 'Great Awakening Session' (1995), allegedly showed a future collective calamity and species-wide death-and-rebirth process
• 3Session 38, 'The Birth of the Diamond Soul,' involved his former lives fusing into a single life, followed by an explosion of diamond light from his heart
• 4His 70th session, 'The Final Vision,' took him an estimated 100,000 years into the future, where he experienced the future human as already accomplished
• 5Bache and NDE researcher Kenneth Ring published the dialogue 'Are Deep Psychedelic Experiences Trustable?' debating whether his visions are genuine; Ring also wrote the foreword to Bache's book 'Lifecycles'
• 6He cites Black Elk's childhood visions, Sri Aurobindo's idea of humanity as a 'transitional species,' John of the Cross's 'dark night of the soul,' and the Kali Yuga as parallels
