The way I think of the psychedelics is, they are catalysts to the imagination.

Art's task is to save the soul of mankind.. anything less is a dithering while Rome burns.

The shaman is a person who is able to transcend the dimensional confines of cultural existence. They know more than the people they serve. The people they serve are like children within the game of culture. Only the shaman knows that culture is a game. Everyone else takes it seriously. That's how he can do his magic.

I'm as against restricting access to drugs as I am to burning books. It offends me in the same way.

Ultimately, I think, what the psychedelic experience may be is a higher topological manifold of temporality.

Since the very beginning of culture, what we seem to be are animals which take in raw material and excrete it imprinted with ideas.

You can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love, and the community to produce a kind of human paradise.
