About the author

Dr. Barend R. Honiball

Dr. Barend R. Honiball is a researcher, author, and Doctor of Divinity whose work sits at the intersection of direct entheogenic experience, transpersonal psychology, and practical integration.<br>&nbsp;<br>His research is not theoretical. As part of formal doctoral study, Dr. Honiball undertook a structured entheogenic sequence — psychedelics in graduated combination — entering near-death states, full ego dissolution, and the documented dissolution of identity under research conditions. <em>He went in</em>. He recorded what was found. And he built a rigorous transpersonal framework from what remained.<br>&nbsp;<br>Among the most significant aspects of his work are his group sessions, in which participants from diverse backgrounds — with no briefing on what to expect — independently arrived at the same dimensions, encountered the same symbols, and reported identical visual landscapes and temperatures. This documented evidence of shared non-ordinary consciousness is unique in the integration literature.<br>&nbsp;<br>His doctoral thesis, also titled Sacred Secrets of God, became the foundation for the book of the same name — a spiritual memoir, integration framework, and practical guide containing over 100 tools for individuals and group facilitation. He holds a Doctor of Divinity (D.Div.) from the University of Metaphysical Sciences and continues research in transpersonal counselling.<br>&nbsp;<br>His work bridges what the medicine shows and how to live with what it showed — the gap that most integration resources fail to cross. He writes for psychedelic users, facilitators, therapists, grief-carriers, and spiritual seekers who are ready to move from confusion toward clarity, meaning, and embodied understanding.<br>&nbsp;<br>His writing is published under the custodianship of the Sacred Secrets Project, a platform dedicated to sharing research and insights on consciousness, integration, and inner transformation.<br>&nbsp;<br><em>“The sacred does not hide itself. We were simply never taught where to look.”</em><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Free Gifts from the Research:</strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>🎁 Sacred Secrets Integration Guide — </strong>Get What the Medicine Showed You, and How to Live With It (free PDF)<br>​​​​​​​<br><strong>🎧 5-Minute Deep Dive Audio — </strong>Listen to Section A of the book (free audio)<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>🌐 Sacred Secrets Project: </strong>sites.google.com/view/sacred-secrets-project<br>
