‎The way you understand and investigate time is by moving inward, into metabolism. The human body is a knot in time.

The human imagination, which is our great glory, has grown so powerful that we can barely unleash it on the surface of the planet.

It's my belief that one of the unconscious reasons which underlies the odd attitude of the establishment toward hallucinogens is the fact that they bring the mystery to the surface as an individual experience. In other words, you do not understand the psychedelic experience by getting a report from Time magazine or even the Economist. You only understand the psychedelic experience by having it.

When we really understand time travel we may find out it's as common as dirt and has been going on all around us is all kinds of physical processes.

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

Cultivate an ongoing stream of self-description, telling yourself what is happening. Get used to the idea that mind can penetrate the immediate surface of being and reveal the tactile density of it as a manifold whose measure cannot be immediately taken by the eyes, that it's deep, it's connected, it's complex. Everything holds within itself the anticipation and the memory of everything else.

The momentum now is inevitable. Now it's about each of us individually arranging the furniture of our own mind to deal with what has become inevitable.
