"Life carefully examined is actually a form of allegorical literature with a very tight, constructural grid laid over it," he says. "We have locked ourselves into a paternalistic masculine dominated structure... What the universe is is flux. Nothing lasts, nothing abides, everything moves on." The future holds no terrors for a person who knows how process inevitably unfolds,. they are always right and with it in each moment. 'If we could assimilate a model like this, we would be dallists'

“One of the things that people don't do enough of when they do psychedelic work is spend time in the library.”
“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.”
“I really think that the psychedelic realm is the realm of ideas, and that ideas which change the world come first from that place.”
“Life, carefully examined, is actually a form of allegorical literature with a very tight constructural grid laid over it.”
“The future holds no terrors for a person who knows how process inevitably unfolds. They are always right and with it each moment.”
