I think the entire message of the psychedelic experience, which is basically the sine qua non of the rebirth of alchemical understanding, the very basis of that understanding is that nature seeks to communicate.

Closure is a neurotic and infantile demand to make upon reality, other people, or language.

The immediate future of man lies in the imagination and in seeking the dimension where the imagination can be expressed.

This is a very central part of the psychedelic attitude toward the world, to entertain all possibilities but to never commit to belief. Belief always being seen as a kind of trap, because if you belief something you are forever precluded from believing its opposite.

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.

We are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary.

It’s pretty simple, the ethical life. It’s just demanding.
