I believe it is essential for our planetary future to develop tools that can change the consciousness which has created the crisis that we are in.

Individuals approaching death often experience encounters with their dead relatives, who seem to welcome them to the next world. These deathbed visions are authentic and convincing; they are often followed by a state of euphoria and seem to ease the transition.

Many of us who have experienced psychedelics feel very much that they are sacred tools. They open spiritual awareness.

Dying people in pre-industrial cultures typically died in the context of an extended family, clan, or tribe.

The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world.

LSD is a catalyst or amplifier of mental processes. If properly used it could become something like the microscope or telescope of psychiatry.

I believe that used responsibly and in a mature way, the entheogens mediate access to the numinous dimensions of existence, have a great healing and transformative potential, and represent a very important tool for spiritual development.
