If psychedelics are, on any level, to be taken seriously as catalyzers or expanders of consciousness, then we need them, because it's an absence of consciousness that is making this historical transition so excruciating.

Even as the nineteenth century had to come to grips with the notion of human descent from apes, we must now come to terms with the fact that those apes were stoned apes.

It seems to me far more likely that an advanced civilization would communicate inter dimensionally and telepathically.

Human populations that do not have contact with the psychedelic tremendum are neurotic because they are male ego dominated.

Behind us: the unknown. Before us: the secret.

Ideology always paves the way toward atrocity.

So what needs to be done is to spread the idea that anxiety is inappropriate. It's sort of like we who are psychedelic have to function as sitters for society, because society is going to thrash, and resist, and think it's dying, and be deluded, and regurgitate unconscious material, and so forth and so on. And the role then, I think, for psychedelic people is to try and spread calm.
