This is a very central part of the psychedelic attitude toward the world, to entertain all possibilities but to never commit to belief. Belief always being seen as a kind of trap, because if you belief something you are forever precluded from believing its opposite.

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.

I think there is a global commonality of understanding coming into being. And it is not necessarily fostered by institutions.

By passing into the psychedelic phase, the space-faring phase, the entire species is passing into adolescence.

My hope is that I may bear witness to the fact that there is a great mystery calling to us all, beckoning across the landscape of our history, promising to realize itself and to give real meaning to what is otherwise only the confusion of our lives and our collective past.

One of the things that's so striking about shamanism in the native context is the absence of mental illness.

Closure is a neurotic and infantile demand to make upon reality, other people, or language.
