There is no liberation to compare with freeing oneself from the illusions and delusions of the age in which one lives.

To date, the enterprise of thinking has moved us radically away from understanding anything.

And what we're looking toward is a moment when the artificial language structures which bind us within the notion of ourselves are dissolved in the presence of the realization that we are a part of nature. And when that happens, the childhood of our species will pass away, and we will stand tremulously on the brink of really the first moment of coherent human civilization.

Shamanism is just show business and philosophy is just a branch of that vaudevillian impulse.

This unique strategy that the advanced primates created, the strategy of using language to bind time, is what the process we call 'civilization' has been all about.

How do we fight back? By creating art.

We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us.
