I think transcending our cultures is going to be extraordinarily necessary for our survival. I don't think we can carry our cultures through the keyhole of the stretch of the next millennium

I believe that what makes the psychedelic experience so central is that it is a connection into a larger modality of organization on the planet, which is a fancy way of saying it connects you up to the mind of Nature Herself.

The world is not made of anti-mu mesons, quarks, and photons, and electromagnetic fields. Reality is made of words.

I think with the work we do with these drugs we are the earliest pioneers in what over the next 100 years will lead to an understanding of consciousness almost as a thing apart from the monkey body and brain.

And psychedelics now, as we de-condition ourselves from the post-medieval world, they are present to hand as tools.

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.

The possibility seems to be that what we call styles, or what we call motifs, are actually categories in the unconscious.
