Ultimately, I think, what the psychedelic experience may be is a higher topological manifold of temporality.

We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don’t matter. And in the act of taking that idea to ourselves we give everything away to somebody else, to something else.

If we could feel what we are doing to the Earth, we would stop immediately.

Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature is ourselves, to be cherished and explored.

What I always hoped for out of the psychedelic voyaging was to bring back something. I always felt, and still feel, that that is the attitude with which you should go into these things.

What is needed, is an awakening.

Actually, the highest form of human organization is not realized in the democratic individual. It is realized in a dimension none of us have ever penetrated, which is the mind of the species, which is actually the hand at the tiller of history. . . . It is an organized entelechy of some sort, and human history is its signature on the primates.
