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

We are alienated, so alienated that the self must disguise itself as an extraterrestrial in order not to alarm us with the truly bizarre dimensions that it encompasses.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.

To my mind this is what shamanic training must really be, is mnemonic training. If you want to bring the stuff back you have to train yourself to bring it back.

If reality is code, then it can be hacked in some way that we had not suspected before.

The data stream has been corrupted, return to first principles.

You are a divine being. You matter, you count. You come from realms of unimaginable power and light, and you will return to those realms.
