The motif of death plays an important role the human psyche in connection with archetypal and karmic material.

Each of us can manifest the properties of a field of consciousness that transcends space, time, and linear causality.

I spent much of my later childhood and adolescence very, very involved and interested in art, and particularly in animated movies.

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

LSD was not a pharmacological agent generating exotic experiences by its interaction with the neurophysiological processes in the brain. This remarkable substance was clearly an unspecific catalyst of the deep dynamics of the human psyche. The experiences induced by it were not neurochemical artifacts, symptoms of a toxic psychosis as mainstream psychiatrists called it, but genuine manifestations of the human psyche itself.

A text of Tibetan Buddhism describes the time of death as a unique opportunity for spiritual liberation from the cycles of death and rebirth and a period that determines our next incarnation.

Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death, reincarnation, and karma, it has very serious implications for our behavior.
