“It's very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature.”
― Albert Hofmann

“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
― Terence McKenna

“For the meditation of the antidote to desire,
in the middle of one’s forehead
there is an area of white bone the size of a thumb
visualized to be shining with white light.
That area increases, becoming the size of one’s head.
It is then visualized as the size of one’s body.
It is then visualized to the extent of where one can see.
Then visualize that it includes all appearances.
As such, the billion worlds become white.
Having become familiar with that whiteness in that way,
the suffering of desire is abandoned.”
― Self-Arisen Vidya Tantra

“Do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.”
― the dalai lama
