The real justification for psychedelics is that they feed new data into your model.
LSD...reinforc ed my sense of what was important-creat ing great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.
For me, what all these years of psychedelic taking came to was a new model of how reality works, a new model of what the world is.
It puts people who are into this psychedelic thing in an entirely different stance from all other spiritual seekers, because all other spiritual seekers are furiously seeking. Psychedelic people are holding it back with all their power, because they are in the presence of the mystery. And then the trick is to get a spigot on it so that it can be turned on and off rather than coming at you like a tidal wave a mile high and twenty miles wide.
Some Harvard guy said that acid would open our minds, pot wouldn't hurt us, and cocaine was benign.
Entheogens are not to be lightly trifled with... However, if taken with the right attitude and in the proper setting, psychoactive drugs may produce religious experiences. ...it is far less clear that they can produce religious lives.
Psychedelics are actually a kind of miraculous reality that can stand the test of objective examination.
I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild.
Do I need to ease up on the psychedelics, or did LP just recall one of her past lives unprompted at the most crucial juncture ever?
Ritual use of psychedelic plants and substances has been a particularly effective technology for inducing holotropic states of consciousness.
