Our medium is meat, but we are made of information.

The lack of a sense of history makes us really prey to manipulation.

I think really what unites psychedelic people is the faith in the power of the imagination.

We can no longer have forbidden areas of the human mind, or cultural machinery. We have taken upon ourselves the acquisition of so much power that we now must understand what we are. We cannot travel much further with the definitions of man that we inherit from the Judeo-Christian tradition. We need to truly explore the problem of consciousness.

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.

We're not dropping out here, we're infiltrating and taking over.

We need a metaphor that can contain the daemon of the future that we have conjured into being.
