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

I connect the psychedelic dimension to the dimension of inspiration and dream.

I think psychedelics are sort of like doing calisthenics in preparation for the marathon at the end of time.

What happens with DMT is you leap over all the barriers in the first few seconds. Unlike mushrooms where over hours and hours on a high dose you might navigate yourself to the center of the mandala, DMT is like being struck by metaphysical lightening.

There's only the integrity of doing and having done.

The major adventure is to claim your authentic, true being, which is not culturally given to you. The culture will not explain to you how to be a real human being. It will tell you how to be banker, politician, Indian chief, masseuses, actress, whatever, but it will not give you true being.

Alchemy is about the generation of a psychic construct, a wholeness, a thing which has many properties, which is paradoxical, which is both mind and matter, which can do anything.
