What I Always Hoped For Out Of

One Of The Things That's So Striking About Shamanism In The Native Context Is The Absence Of Mental Illness.

The Danger Is [in Using Psychedelic Drugs], Just To Put It Out There, Is Madness.

The Thing That Seemed To Me So Important About The Psychedelic Experience Was That It Happened To Me. I Wasn't Reading John Chrysostom Or Meister Eckhart. And So I Assumed That I Am A Very Ordinary Person, Therefore, If It Happened To Me It Could Happen To Anyone.

For Me It's An Issue Of Are We Afraid Of Ourselves? And We Inherit A Huge Bunch Of Idealogical Baggage, Not Only Christianity, But Freudianism, And Marxism . . . We Inherit All Kinds Of Idealogical Baggage Designed To Make Us Fear Ourselves.

The Leading Edge Of Reality Is Mind, And Mind Is The Primary Substratum Of Being.
