But a mature humanity could get into a place where we no longer required these metaphysical spankings from messiahs and flying saucers that come along every thousand years or so to mess up the mess that has been created and try and send people off on another tack. And the way to do this is to look at the abysses that confront man as species and individuals and try to unify them. And I think that psilocybin offers a way out because it allows a dialogue with the over-mind. You won't read about it in "Scientific American" or anywhere else. You will carry it out.

The immediate future of man lies in the imagination and in seeking the dimension where the imagination can be expressed.

History is anomalous, and there is no way to get used to it.

Each stage of cosmic development proceeded more quickly than the stage which preceded it.

Certainly the central Platonic idea, which is the idea of the ideas, these archetypal forms which stand outside of time is one which is confirmed by the psychedelic experience.

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

Basically, for me the psychedelic experience was the path to revelation. It actually worked on somebody who thought nothing would work.
