I have a skeptical and cranky side, and I'm forever puzzled why people believe the, seeming to me, dumb things that they choose to believe.

Nature and the imagination seem to be the precursors to involvement in the psychedelic experience.

Astonishment is the proper response to reality.

The social consequence of the psychedelic experience is clear thinking -which trickles down as clear speech. Empowered speech.

The things I encounter that I call elves or gnomes, it's just a gloss. I mean, they're small, and they have the archetype. They're more like leprechauns, and this maybe raises a racial issue.

The sine qua non for obtaining a psychedelic experience is humbling yourself to the point where you admit that you must submit to the experience of the plant or the drug. This act of surrender is the major technical function you will be called upon to perform during the psychedelic trip.

We can will the perfect future into being by becoming microcosms of the perfect future.
