The Porous Veil
An Interview with Christopher Bache
In this first episode after almost two years, Lara Tambacopoulou interviews Christopher Bache about the gift of becoming aware of the porous veil of consciousness.
Christopher M. Bache, Ph.D. is professor emeritus in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University where he taught for 33 years. He is also adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Emeritus Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and on the Advisory Council of Grof Legacy Training. Chris’ passion has been the study of the philosophical implications of nonordinary states of consciousness, particularly psychedelic states. An award winning teacher and international speaker, Chris has written four books: Lifecycles – a study of reincarnation in light of contemporary consciousness research; Dark Night, Early Dawn – a pioneering work in psychedelic philosophy and collective consciousness; The Living Classroom, an exploration of collective fields of consciousness in teaching; and LSD and the Mind of the Universe, the story of his 20 year journey with LSD.
After almost 700 episodes, Lara is picking up where Joanna left off with new and old voices, documenting the shift in consciousness, the psychedelic renaissance and the global rise in awareness about our interconnections with all things and Gaia.

I started to cry when I heard the intro music. It’s been so long… Thank you Laura for continuing your mother’s incredible and important work. And thank you Christopher for such an ethereal and illuminating conversation. There is so much heart, soul and love here, and it’s much appreciation. ✨️💖✨️
Thank you, Chuck. That means a lot to us!
Thank you, Chuck. I am so uplifted by your words!
How delighted I am to have Future Primitive back, and what a stunning first interview. Christopher’s visions of the future human that is being birthed now, based on his lived experiences with LSD, give a vast, wise glimpse into where we are now in a very grounded way. As he says, gestation takes a long time, but birth is swift. This comment alone puts Future Primitive into a unique position — to have a venue that can explore and articulate the many powerful, complicated and numinous facets of this birth process. A wonderful conversation… great questions, and the same warm congeniality that Joanna welcomed with her guests, now continuing with Lara’s intelligent and curious, open mind and heart. I look forward to many more such podcasts!
Very touched by your words Andrea, thank you!
