I think that understanding man's place in nature is going to require integration of the psychedelic experience.

I don’t know what life is like without cannabis, I hear there is such a thing.

I see the psychedelic experience as both the centerpiece of prehistoric life and destined to be the centerpiece of any future that we want to be part of.

My technique is don’t believe anything. If you believe in something, you are automatically precluded from believing its opposite.

History, call it 15,000 or 25,000 years of duration, is the story of an animal, some kind of complex animal, becoming conscious.

Knowledge, or verbal facility, is no proof that you know what you're talking about.

You are not naked when you take off your clothes. You still wear your religious assumptions, your prejudices, your fears, your illusions, your delusions. When you shed the cultural operating system, then essentially you stand naked before the inspection of your own psyche.
