Terence
Publius Terentius Afer, better known in English as Terence, was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170–160 BC.

psychedelic shamanism terror
Terror of the future can be put out to pasture with psychedelic shamanism.
inspirational life reality
Closure is a neurotic and infantile demand to make upon reality, other people, or language.
inspirational life secret
Alchemy is really the secret tradition of the redemption of spirit from matter.
mind connections world
What the psychedelic experience really is, is opening the doorway into a lost continent of the human mind, a continent that we have almost lost all connection to, and the nature of this lost world of the human mind is that it is a Gaian entelechy.
inspirational life attention
The surface of things is not where attention should rest.
real thinking people
People have a right to get stoned. They have a right to think and explore their own minds. This is as intimate a part of their being as their sexuality.

knows
That's what a god is. Somebody who knows more than you do about whatever you're dealing with.
law levels world

What good is a theory of how the universe works if it’s a series of tensor equations that, even when understood, come nowhere tangential to experience? The only intellectual or noetic or spiritual path worth following is one that builds on personal experience
pipeline neurosis absence
We have wandered into a state of prolonged neurosis because of the absence of a direct pipeline to the unconscious and we have then fallen victim to priestcraft of every conceivable sort.
worry betting
Worrying is betting against yourself.
mystery caught enigma
We are caught inside a mystery, veiled in an enigma, locked inside a riddle
understanding atmosphere trying
The psychedelic experience is simply a compressed instance of what we call understanding, so that living psychedelically is trying to live in an atmosphere of continuous unfolding of understanding, so that every day you know more and see into things with greater depth than you did before. This is a process of education.
opportunity community quality
The quality of rhetoric emanating from the psychedelic community must improve radically. If it does not, we will forfeit the reclamation of our birthright and all opportunity for exploring the psychedelic dimension will be closed off.
