Dive into the archives of psychedelic thought. Lorenzo Hagerty hosts essential conversations on entheogens, science, and the counterculture.
…An attempt to define a collective relationship, the other. That assuages our yearning and our feeling of being cast out, as Heidegger says, cast into matter alone in the universe. In other words, it's as though by passing into the psychedelic phase, the…
…to do with the notion of an attractor and of trying to look at humanness not as a mistake, a cosmic error, or as Heidegger said of man. He said, we are flung into being. The idea, always being that it doesn't make sense that there's an arbitrariness…
…lines closes with the recurso, which returns you then to this realization that what we are talking about is the project of knowing. Heidegger called it carried out on two levels, on the level of omniscience and on the level of limited being. So then I…
…the approaching mystery and a meeting there in a domain of unknowability, essentially. I mean, this is the casting into being that Heidegger talked about. This is the going to meet the stranger. This is the flight of the alone to the alone. That is…
…of questioning. But we don't live for the greater glory of social theories and institutions. We live because we find ourselves, as Heidegger said, thrown into being and we have to sort that out on an individual basis. And, you know, it's just like when…
…is too much. If you abandon reason, you will have nothing to guide you but the emotional depth of the situation. This is what Heidegger called the depth of the call. And in the 20th century, the history of following the depth of the call has not been…
…or maybe some sort of delirium or some kind of hallucinatory experience that has no basis in rationality? Well, I think, you know, Heidegger said we measure our relationship to reality by the depth of the call. And I think one of the chief justices said…
…writhing in the ecstasis of hallucinogenic visions that unfolds around you a situation that to us, with all our sophistication, Husserl, Heidegger, Michael Jackson, the whole thing, we are as in awe of that as those protohuman beings must have been. So…
…with Jean Paul and the kind of intellectual despair that characterized the post world war two generation in Europe. Heidegger. Heidegger is thoroughgoingly gnostic in his intentionality. It's just that the language is modern and stripped of this magical…

…is bound within an illusion of language. The entire enterprise culture is this illusion of language. Homer was as sick with it as Heidegger. So there's no going back or getting, you know, no classic recension. What we have to do is reach past to some…
…because your boundaries are dissolved. You have fallen into trance. And we, you know, with all our intellectual sophistication, moonflight, Heidegger, advanced mathematics, we still can't get a handle on what this stuff does to us. We still come down quaking…
…echo chamber of bardic incantation. That's a chapter heading. Topography cracked the voices of silence, and one of my favorite Heidegger surfboards along on the electronic wave as triumphantly as Descartes rode the mechanical wave. So there's a lot of fun…
…paid to do. But it doesn't honor their humanness. It gives them no opportunity to share in the project of being, as Heidegger said, to make something, to leave something, to be something. People then are so drawn to do this anyway that they fashion…
…abandoned by the all father and therefore what a drag it is and what can we do about it so that people like Heidegger are thoroughly gnostic in their thinking. I mean, anybody who is nothing, because, you see, what gnosticism denied was the presence of…
…form of worship that it is induces a kind of awe. And awe means, you know, I've talked before about this phrase out of Heidegger, care for the project of being. He talked about this. He said, this is what you're supposed to be doing. Care for the…
…Well then at still higher levels of psilocybin ingestion, you get the full blown psychedelic ecstasy. Which even we as moderns with Heidegger and Husserl tucked under our arm we don't know what the hell is going on we are as primitive in the Face…
…and, in fact, pass on to our own progeny. And so this is our circumstance, I think, individually and collectively, thrown into being, Heidegger said. We didn't ask for it. Here it is. What are we to make of it? And obviously, if you toured the halls…
…maximization of something. I don't want to say progress, although casually, people speak of progress like we're supposed to believe that Heidegger is. Somehow has a deeper insight into reality than. I don't know. I wouldn't say Plato. I don't think there's…
…seeing? You're seeing this process. You are retroflexively embedded in a process of becoming. This is why, though he didn't get everything right, Heidegger was on the right track when he said, a human being is not an object or a process, but a window of…
…and singing and undergoing these things and you are still trying to perform the edetic reduction, still thinking about Husserl and Heidegger and Heidegger, you realize that your mental insides are too different to ever stand in their shoes. You have to make…

…be viewed as alienation if what arises out of it is a feeling of forlornness and being cast into being, as Heidegger says. But that need not necessarily be the feeling. The extra environmental is also tremendously freed from the cultural conditioning. And…
…for who you are. But the higher stakes game, the more interesting game, is to see the whole thing as an opportunity. Heidegger, I'm amazed I'm quoting Heidegger so much this morning. Heidegger again, he said, the body is not a thing, nor is it…

…mean for us, it's hard to say. I mean, previously DMT held all honors for, you know, weirdness. The depth of the call, as Heidegger likes to say. Now Salvinari Malpha is on stage and there's lots of work to be done. Yeah. Benign was what you've written…

…exactly the same mystery that you hit at 5 grams in silent darkness and it's still mysterious. You know, Thomas Aquinas, Heidegger, they don't really shed much light on this. We haven't in 25,000 years learned anything that makes this trivial or…
…Yeah, yeah, the origin. Good question. See what happened? I mean, it's very interesting. Some of you who are interested in Heidegger may know a wonderful essay by Hans Jonas called the gnostic temperament. And what he's saying in there is that the…
…the ordinary sense. This is tracking of behavioral intent. It's a far cry from being able to tell whether someone is thinking about Heidegger or Hegel by looking at their CAT scan. I don't even know if that's in the works. Maybe you could elaborate on a…
…the ground around the campfires 50,000 years ago, they didn't know what it was. And when we go in there, armed with our Heidegger and our hussarla and our Wittgenstein and our Marlu Ponte, we dont know what it is either. There has been no progress in…
