silence darkness mind
In the silence, in the darkness, swept away by these alien alkaloids and the plant-mind behind them, you find out a truth that can barely be told. And most of it can't be told.
taken mean vegetables
And I don't mean this metaphorically. I want to be taken seriously as proposing that the ennui of modernity is the consequence of a disruptive symbiotic relationship between ourselves and vegetable nature.
spiritual emotional mind-blowing
The message of psychedelics is that culture can be re-engineered as a set of emotional and spiritual values rather than products. This is terrifying news.
imagination psychedelic involvement
Nature and the imagination seem to be the precursors to involvement in the psychedelic experience.
dmt magic world
DMT seems to argue, convincingly I might add, that the world is made entirely of something, for want of a better word, we would have to call magic.

What we call three dimensional space, and what we call the imagination actually have a contiguous and continuous transformation from one into the other, ... and THIS is big news!
games play clubs
If you play the cultural game, it's like playing only with clubs or something, or playing only with the red marked cards. You have to play with a full deck, and that includes this pre-linguistic surround in which we are embedded.
thinking may psychedelic
Ultimately, I think, what the psychedelic experience may be is a higher topological manifold of temporality.
cutting mind events
The mind is the cutting edge of the evolving event system.
hands forever dimensions
There will be difficult moments in a five-gram trip, but on the other hand certain questions will be solved forever for you, because you will validate the existence of this dimension. You will see what your relationship to it is.
men years darkness
History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.
data primaries felt
And what is the primary datum? It's the felt presence of immediate experience. In other words, being here now is the primary datum.
