Terence
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. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. All of the six plays Terence wrote have survived...

attitude psychedelic should
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.
believe perspective revolution
And science, when it examines psychedelics, as it will and must, is going to discover a revolution, I believe, that will put all the previous revolutions in perspective.
mind bigger domain
The mind is a far bigger domain than we ever imagined.
views years names
We are living in a state of constant scientific revolution. There is not a single area that you can name that is now seen as it was seen a hundred years ago. Nothing is left of the world view of one hundred years ago.
drug viewpoints becoming
The psychedelic viewpoint is becoming more and more legitimate, but psychedelic drugs are not. That's the odd paradox of it.
moments process terror
The future holds no terrors for a person who knows how process inevitably unfolds. They are always right and with it each moment.
literature grids form
Life, carefully examined, is actually a form of allegorical literature with a very tight constructural grid laid over it.
thinking ideas world
I really think that the psychedelic realm is the realm of ideas, and that ideas which change the world come first from that place.
understanding psychedelic should
Without an understanding and a familiarity of the psychedelic experience you should be sued for fraud if you're practicing psychotherapy.
mind dirt needs
What we need to change is our minds, that's the part that's doing us dirt and dragging us under. How can we change our minds.
drug helping shamanism
The entire drug phenomenon of the 1960s happened without the concept of shamanism to help it along.
men thinking understanding
I think that understanding man's place in nature is going to require integration of the psychedelic experience.
years together fifty
Nobody should be allowed more than fifty years to get their act together.
thinking law causality
This is where I think the psychedelics come in because they are anticipations of the future. They seem to channel information that is not strictly governed by the laws of normal causality. So that there really is a prophetic dimension, a glimpse of the potential of the far centuries of the future through these compounds.
