Human history is a Gaian dream.

Our task is to create memes... Launch your meme boldly and see if it will replicate.

The state in the matter of drugs should not, any more than in the matter of sex, act as the secret agent for the agenda of the church.

I think that what these psychedelics do, is they actually do connect you to the whole circle. You stand outside of the moment from which you embarked on your psychedelic experience, and you see eternity like a vast landscape deployed in front of you. So what I think psychedelics are is they're about time, and they somehow make all time co-present.

What foods are, essentially, are idea-neutral drugs.

What is happening, I think, it's really bigger than psychedelics, it's bigger than human evolution. We are not making the waves in this ocean. We are corks, riding the waves of the ocean. But we are privileged, by perhaps chance alone, to occupy a unique moment in the history of the universe. A moment when the universe goes through some kind of self-transforming, evolutionary, inflationary expansion. That's what's happening.

Because the planetary culture is becoming ever more closely knitted together all its parts are becoming co-dependent.
