Drugs are
merely means to achieve states of non-ordinary awareness and must not be
confused with the experiences themselves. They have the capacity to
trigger highs; they do not contain highs. Moreover, the experiences they
trigger are essentially no different from experiences triggered by natural
means. Many of the dangers attributed to drugs have no basis in fact but
arise entirely from our own fears. - Andrew
Weil
Psychedelic
experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse
which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in
which drugs are no longer necessary or useful. If you get the
message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments,
like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not
sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works
on what he has seen... - Alan
Watts
You must
remember, too, that the experience is safe (at the very worst, you will
end up the same person who entered the experience), and that all of the
dangers which you have feared are unnecessary productions of your
mind. Whether you experience heaven or hell, remember that it is
your mind which creates them. Avoid grasping the one or fleeing the
other. Avoid imposing the ego game on the experience. - Timothy
Leary
In the
currently fashionable picture of the universe there is no place for a
valid transcendental experience. Consequently those who have had
what they regard as valid transcendental experiences are looked upon with
suspicion as being either lunatics or swindlers. To be a mystic or a
visionary is no longer creditable. - Aldous
Huxley
