“The mushroom said to me once: nature loves courage, nature loves courage and I said: what's the payoff on that? And it said it shows you that it loves courage because it will remove obstacles. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood this is the shamanic dance in the waterfall this is how magic is done it's done by hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering that it's a feather bed and there's no other way to do it.”
“So chaos is what we have lost touch with. This is why it has been given a bad name, because it is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is the ego which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control and the furious modeling process and this will now sound like a knock on modeling the furious modeling process that the ego endlessly carries out is an effort to fight the absence of closure. The ego wants closure, it wants a complete explanation.”
“So the cost of sanity in this society is a certain level of alienation.”
“This is what we should be looking for it's not for your elucidation, it's not part of your self directed psychotherapy. You are an explorer and you represent our species and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness, and so to whatever degree any one of us can bring back a small piece of the picture and contribute it to the building of the new paradigm then we participate in the redemption of the human spirit and that after all is what it's really all about.”
“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally lay down models of behavior and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
“Right here and now, one quanta away, there is raging a universe of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyper dimensional and extremely alien.”
Food of the Gods“We can begin this restructuring of thought by declaring legitimate what we have denied for so long. Let us declare Nature to be legitimate. The notion of illegal plants is obnoxious and ridiculous in the first place.”
“The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams.”
“The apocalypse is not something which is coming the apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet, and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.”
