The real justification for psychedelics is that they feed new data into your model.

I see the psychedelic experience as both the centerpiece of prehistoric life and destined to be the centerpiece of any future that we want to be part of.

No one is in charge of this process, this is what makes history so interesting, it's a runaway freight train on a dark and stormy night.

The world is not an unsolved problem for scientists or sociologists. The world is a living mystery.

To me it begins and ends with these psychedelic substances. The synergy of the psilocybin in the hominid diet brought us out of the animal mind and into the world of articulated speech and imagination.

Once you get to this place on what we might metaphorically call your spiritual quest, once you get to the place where you hear about psychedelics, the issue is no longer then about where is the gas peddle on the spiritual vehicle. The issue suddenly becomes, where is the brake? Because this is the fuel to go where you want to go. This is the power to lift you where you want to be lifted.

As a society we cannot seem to make peace with nature. As individuals, it's hard for us to be at peace with ourselves.
