Psychedelic Quotes

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
Psychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overly was very profound. Ram Dass
When you read the psychedelic literature, there is a distinction between the so-called natural psychedelics and synthetic psychedelics that are artificially produced. Stanislav Grof
The renaissance of interest in Eastern spiritual philosophies, various mystical traditions, meditation, ancient and aboriginal wisdom, as well as the widespread psychedelic experimentation during the stormy 1960s, made it absolutely clear that a comprehensive and cross-culturally valid psychology had to include observations from such areas as mystical states; cosmic consciousness; psychedelic experiences; trance phenomena; creativity; and religious, artistic, and scientific inspiration. Stanislav Grof
It became much more complicated politically to work with psychedelics because of the unsupervised experimentation with psychedelics, particularly among young people. Stanislav Grof
As long as I had easy access to psychedelics at the government-sponsored research project, most of my energy went into psychedelic sessions. Stanislav Grof
Timothy Leary quote: "LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic..."
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it. Timothy Leary
Monotheism strenuously denies the need to return to a cultural style that periodically places the ego and its values in perspective through contact with a boundary-dissolving immersion in the Archaic mystery of plant-induced, hence mother-associated, psychedelic ecstasy and wholeness, what Joyce called the "mama matrix most mysterious. Terence McKenna
Life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience that primordial shamanism is based on is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego. Terence McKenna
The Archaic Revival is a clarion call to recover our birthright, however uncomfortable that may make us. It is a call to realize that life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience upon which primordial shamanism is based is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego and its fear of dissolution in the mysterious matrix of feeling that is all around us. It is in the Archaic Revival that our transcendence of the historical dilemma actually lies. Terence McKenna
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality..."
No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted. Hunter S. Thompson
Patti Smith quote: "It was like being at an Arabian hoedown with a band of..."
It was like being at an Arabian hoedown with a band of psychedelic hillbillies (p. 171). Patti Smith
Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic... Hunter S. Thompson
Stanislav Grof quote: "Many of us who have experienced psychedelics feel very much..."
Many of us who have experienced psychedelics feel very much that they are sacred tools. They open spiritual awareness. Stanislav Grof
Stanislav Grof quote: "Patients reported that their psychedelic sessions were an..."
Patients reported that their psychedelic sessions were an invaluable experiential training for dying. Stanislav Grof
