Lundborg was an original member of the Lumber Island Acid Crew,[1] a psychedelic artist collective which formed in Stockholm in the mid-1980s and remains active up to the present time.
[4] Patrick Lundborg's non-music writings include essays on Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters, Terence McKenna, Mel Lyman, The Human Be-In, the heritage from Eleusis in Shakespeare's The Tempest and the Renaissance, Coppola's Apocalypse Now and Alan Watts.
A permanent alternative spiritual culture of the West is outlined as Lundborg follows the impulse from Eleusis through the Neoplatonism and pantheism of the Middle Ages, the rise of hermeticism and esoteric alchemy during the Renaissance, up to the highly visible psychedelic scenes of the modern world.
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 Eleusis fell out of favor.
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.
