[NOTE: All quotations below are by Dr. Timothy Leary.]

“The key thing about the human species is this: That we have not committed ourselves to an over-specialized adult form.”

“The more power you give to the young of your species, the sooner you give that power to them, the faster your species is going to grow, the farther your gene pool is going to move into the future, and of course it goes without saying, the key to everything, the more growth in the individual will result.”

“The future belongs to those who see the future.”

PROGRAM NOTES:

“I think that any models [of the psychedelic experience] that we can build, verbal, visual, or mathematical are really, really feeble compared to the experience itself.” –Ralph Abraham

“It’s the Logos-world that we’ve lost the connection with.” –Terence McKenna

“I think the difference between a representation of the [psychedelic] state and being in the state itself is the sense of meaning, engagement, and intensity.” –Rupert Sheldrake

PROGRAM NOTES:

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: The following quotes are by Bruce
Damer.]

“It seems as though the universe is a sort of self-contained thing, never looses any information.”

“A mechanism called ‘life’ was able to fight against all this crud, and entropy, and fires and brimstone and preserve this little piece of information [DNA] forward, and it’s called reproduction, it’s called life. And that process has outlived the life of most stars. It’s certainly older and tougher and more resilient than all the configuration of the continents.”
