The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams.

What I think is going on is that probably language was entertainment long before it was meaning. It's a kind of tuneless singing.

Shamanism is essentially a living tradition of alchemy that is not seeking the stone but has found the stone.

The apocalypse is the millennium, and the psychedelics move you into the future.

The central figure in the archaic revival is the shaman.

Science is the exploration of the experience of nature without psychedelics. And I propose, therefore, to expand that enterprise and say that we need a science beyond science. We need a science which plays with a full deck.

I believe that great weirdness stalks the universe. That's not the issue with me, but it is not tacky. It is not tacky.
