“A psychedelic point of view means a point of view which honors consciousness.”
“You do not measure the depth of a universal mystery with the neural network of a primate.”
“Our role is not to understand but to appreciate.”
“It’s ridiculous to attempt to seize the tiller of reality, because we don’t even know where we want to go.”J
“We extract the poetry from being by the assumption of the mundane.”
“Once nature is taken as the ground of being then permission to inflate the image of the ego is denied.”
“Intuition must be given prominence in the rearrangement of our relationship with the world.”
“Science is really the, it’s the plumbing level of reality. It doesn’t catch the integrated nature of language, the evolution of fairy tales, the dynamics of love affairs, the quintessence of genius, these are the things, that as human beings, structure and constellate and guide and inform our world. And science has nothing to say about these things.”
“Intuition is the unifying of experience into a gestalt image of the world.”
“We are much more suited for dancing than for whatever it is that we have been doing.”
