The main thing to understand is that we are imprisoned in some kind of work of art.

It is true that when you smoke DMT, for example, at a sufficiently high and prepared dose, you get elves, everybody does. All you need do, is inhale deeply three times, and you know... You want contact? You want elves? You want alien contact? You'll have that!

Inform yourself, inform your children, talk to your friends! And let's try to make a better, stonier world than the one we inherited!

The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas.

Our culture takes us out of the body and sells our loyalty into political systems, into religions, into inanimate objects and machines, collections, so forth and so on. The felt experience of the body is what the psychedelics are handing back to us.

I'm fascinated by hallucinations. I mean, to me that is the sina qua non that you're getting somewhere.

I think that understanding man's place in nature is going to require integration of the psychedelic experience.
