"There is something outside the realm of culture and the three-dimensional surfaces of things. That there is a hidden dimension to reality. Call it a plan. A purpose. A loving God. A cosmos instead of a chaos. And psychedelics, I believe, reveal a greater order than the order of the human world.This is why the way I do them is either in darkness — which means surrounded by the body (my body, which is part of nature) — or in nature itself. In the mountains, at the beach, in the jungle. Because what we are lacking, existentially, is any sense of order meaning and beauty in the world. Because the society we are living in has no order or beauty or meaning. It's just a scam in a rat race. But if you take the psychedelics in these contexts where the culture and its artifacts are suppressed then you connect up to the greater whole."

"Part of the package of being a living, thinking being is that you get a universe inside of you. You get a galaxy sized object inside you that you can access. And there there are the mountains, the rivers, the jungles, the dynastic families, the ruins, the planets, the works of art, the poetry, the sciences, the magics, of millions upon millions upon millions of worlds.And this is apparently who we each are. We're a little bit of eternity sticking into three-dimensional space and, for some reason, occupying time in a monkey body.But when you turn your eyes then inward you discover the birth right. The existential facts out of which this particular existence emerged.And it's a great secret. A great secret and a great comfort. Because it means mystery didn't die with the fall of Arthur or the fall of Atlantis or the fall of anything. Mystery is alive in the moment, in the here and now. It just simply lies on the other side of a barrier of courage. And it isn't even that high of barrier, it's just is a barrier high enough to keep out the insincere and the misdirected. But for those who will claim it, in midst of the historical chaos in the late 20th century they become the archaic pioneers. They become the first people to carry the ouroboric serpent around to its own tail, and to make a closure. And to the degree that anyone of us has this connection back to the archaic in our life, it makes were we have been make a lot more sense and it makes were we're going seem a lot more inviting."
