A lost 1959 classic of psychedelic research, memory, and consciousness — restored from the original typescript and finally in print beside the science that has returned to its questions.
Years before LSD was outlawed, a Utah scholar, pharmacist, and Fulbright grantee took LSD and mescaline and wrote down what he saw. The Far-Off Land pairs his philosophical essay on memory, paradise, perception, and the self with nine dated field journals (August 1959 – October 1960) that show it was lived, not imagined.
What’s inside
- All nine dated field journals: doses, timelines, and first-person records in the author’s own words
- Editor’s commentary connecting each chapter to contemporary neuroscience and clinical research
- Photographs of the original typescript, the author’s 1955 portrait, and the press clipping of his Fulbright award
- A glossary, an annotated bibliography, a biographical index, and a guide to research centers
- “In the Author’s Words,” his own story of how a group of Utah colleagues mail-ordered LSD in the 1950s

“Seaich takes a fascinating detour. He goes back millennia, glimpses the future, and goes deeply within his own psyche.” — Stanley Krippner, Ph.D.
