Being Human: An Entheological Guide to God, Evolution, and the Fractal Energetic Nature of Reality (2009) 


After a year of intensive personal work exploring my energy and consciousness with entheogenic medicines such as Ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT, I underwent a profound transformation of my being in the Spring of 2009. Being Human is the product of this personal transformation and radical self-liberation: A completely true account of the fundamental nature of reality and how YOU can liberate yourself from the confines of your illusion-bound ego.

Simple, concise, and radical, Being Human outlines the Entheological Paradigm, a Grand Unified Theory of reality that accounts for not only all of the physical world, but personal consciousness, life, and God as well. This guide explains the nature of God as a Fractal Energy Being and how this One Being works to create all of physical reality and is also embodied in all living beings through the process of evolution.

To be Human is to be God in a body. This guide not only explains how this is accomplished through energetic evolution, but also explains how individuals can use entheogenic medicines to learn how to own their personal energy and take responsibility for themselves as unique manifestations and embodiments of God.

Free of fluff, mystification, metaphysics, and all religious dogma and illusion, Being Human is the simple, easy-to-follow guide to a fulfilling life in reality that humanity has been waiting for. This is the book that can change the world, and it all begins with YOU!

Welcome, at long last, to Reality!

Entheologues: Conversations with Leading Psychedelic Thinkers, Explorers and Researcher (2008)


Entheologues presents a fascinating collection of interviews with top figures in the entheogenic field. James Oroc talks about God, 5-MeO-DMT, zero-point energy and the Akashic Field. Rick Strassman discusses his new book and shares the surprising results of his DMT study, along with his hopes for an entheogenic research center. Jan Irvin and John Rush discuss the roles of psychedelic mushrooms and other visionary sacraments in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In the final interview, Daniel Siebert gives a detailed history of Salvia divinorum. Completing the book, Martin W. Ball makes a strong case for the human right to entheogen use as religious sacraments. Was Jesus a psychedelic mushroom? Do DMT experiences send people into alternate realities? What is the legal status of entheogens for spiritual use? Why are there so many mushroom images in Christian art? Can 5-MeO-DMT bring about realization of God? These questions and more are answered in Entheologues.

Salvia divinorum is a unique and profoundly powerful visionary herb from the Mazatec region of Mexico. Now widely available in the western world via the internet, but still little understood, this legal entheogen is becoming ever more popular among those who follow the shamanic path of plant based spirituality.

Sage Spirit is bound to be a valuable resource for all those interested in exploring salvia responsibly as a spiritual catalyst and consciousness-expanding agent of personal transformation. Filled with personal accounts, practical advice and philosophical reflections, this book is a must for anyone wanting to learn more about this amazing visionary plant.

Mushroom Wisdom: How Shamans Cultivate Spiritual Consciousness (2006)


Mushroom Wisdom explores the universal aspects of the psilocybin mushroom experience as it relates to spirituality. Author Martin Ball explains how mushroom use can lead the spiritual seeker to profound states of self-awareness and radical understanding of the nature of the self, reality, and the sacred. Topics include looking into the spiritual mirror to uncover an authentic sense of self, developing “witness” consciousness to overcome self-limiting concepts and judgments, and removing obstacles of ego and self-induced suffering to trigger the rich experience of “spirit flow.” The book also addresses the creation and use of ritual, sacred objects, and the importance of sound and silence. Ball distinguishes between using mushrooms in spiritual work as opposed to simply having a pleasant psychedelic experience. Not a guide to how to have “fun” with psilocybin mushrooms, Mushroom Wisdom is a serious investigation into deep spiritual nature, drawing on both a wide array of scientific disciplines and ancient shamanic practice.
