It seems to me that it is psyche in a way that has become occluded by the perverse development of language.

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.

The psychedelics are this immense tool for the inspection of our own nature.
