“Being imposes some kind of obligation to find out what’s going on.”

I don’t know what life is like without cannabis, I hear there is such a thing.

To realize that all of the last hundred years of economic progress was actually a shell game to create billionaires, while the great masses of people saw their standard of living eroded and destroyed.

Our ability to destroy ourselves is the mirror image of our ability to save ourselves.

To me it begins and ends with these psychedelic substances. The synergy of the psilocybin in the hominid diet brought us out of the animal mind and into the world of articulated speech and imagination.

Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness

Cultures are virtual realities made of language.

We are the inheritors of a million years of striving for the unspeakable.

Culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines.

You’re immortal as long as you live.

The tension in the world is the tension between the ego and the feminine, not between the masculine and the feminine.

No one knows enough to worry.

Culture is a plot against the expansion of consciousness.

The world is not made of anti-mu mesons, quarks, and photons, and electromagnetic fields. Reality is made of words.

How do we fight back? By creating art.

We are led by the least among us – the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons.

You are some kind of a mystery suspended between two eternities. And in that moment, when a mind looks out at a world and asks the question, ‘What is it?’ In that moment art can be created.

The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one’s self. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision of execution.

Anything one does every day is important and imposing and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.

That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.

The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa – slightly off balance.

Love. There are no barriers against its infinite power, my child, save for those we impose upon ourselves.

With the right attitude, self imposed limitations vanish.

War gives the right to the conquerors to impose any condition they please upon the vanquished.

Liberals always exempt themselves from the rules that they impose on others.
