The drug may not be toxic, but you may be self-toxic, and you may discover this in the drug experience.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
It seems to me that information is the thing which uses matter, uses light, uses spirit, uses whatever it can put its hands on to organize itself into higher and higher levels of self-reflection.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Psychedelics are not flashlights into the chaos of the Freudian unconscious, they are tools for mathematically unpacking your mind into a higher dimensional space. In the Newtonian and print created space that we are walking around in you, are like a self extracting archive, that hasn't self extracted itself yet.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
For talking monkeys to speak of truth is hubris of the highest degree. Where is it writ large that talking monkeys should be able to model the cosmos? If a sea urchin or a racoon were to propose to you that it had a viable truth about the universe, the absurdity of that assertion would be self-evident, but in our case we make an exception.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Beauty is self-defined, perceived and understood without ambiguity. It's the stuff that lies under the skins of our individual existences.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
If psychedelics are exopheromones that dissolve the dominant ego, then they are also enzymes that synergize the human imagination and empower language. They cause us to connect and reconnect the contents of the collective mind in ever more implausible, beautiful, and self-fulfilling ways.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Inevitably out of the psychedelic experience emerges not despair, not self-indulgence, but wild-eyed idealism, that's the inevitable product of any psychedelically driven social process.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
If the ego is not regularly and repeatedly dissolved in the unbounded hyperspace of the Transcendent Other, there will always be slow drift away from the sense of self as part of nature’s larger whole. The ultimate consequence of this drift is the fatal ennui that now permeates Western Civilization.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
The word 'self' is as great a mystery as the word 'other'. It's just a polarity between two mysteries.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
“What interests me in life is curiosity, challenges, the good fight with its victories and defeats.”
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
Life is not about significant details, illuminated a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.
Quote by -Susan Sontag
The best of modern therapy is much like a process of shared meditation, where therapist and client sit together, learning to pay close attention to those aspects and dimensions of the self that the client may be unable to touch on his or her own.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Our ideas of self are created by identification. The less we cling to ideas of self, the freer and happier we will be.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
In deep self-acceptance grows a compassionate understanding. As one Zen master said when I asked if he ever gets angry, 'Of course I get angry, but then a few minutes later I say to myself, 'What's the use of this,' and I let it go.'
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
When we struggle to change ourselves we, in fact, only continue the patterns of self-judgement and aggression. We keep the war against ourselves alive.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
We can struggle with what is. We can judge and blame others or ourselves. Or we can accept what cannot be changed. Peace comes from an honorable and open heart accepting what is true. Do we want to remain stuck? Or to release the fearful sense of self and rest kindly where we are?
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
"LOVE lives by giving and forgiving.ÃÂ Self lives by getting and forgetting."
Quote by -Sathya Baba
"Sleep is no longer a healing bath, a recuperation of vital forces, but an oblivion, a nightly brush with annihilation."
Quote by -J. M. Coetzee
"Self-sacrifice enables us to sacrifice other people without blushing."
Quote by -George Bernard Shaw
“You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence”
Quote by -Abraham Lincoln
“Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.”
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
