“Drugs are about dulling perception, about addiction and about behavioral repetition...What *psychedelics* are about is pattern- dissolving experiences of an extraordinarily high or different awareness. They are the exact opposite of drugs. They promote questioning , they promote consciousness, they promote value examinations, they promote the reconstruction of behavioral patterns.” DifferentValuesConsciousnessAwarenessDrugPerceptionOppositesAddictionPatternsQuestioningRepetitionExaminationReconstructionDissolving Author:Terence McKenna

“I think the highest forgiveness is to accept that creation is thoroughly tangled, with every possible quality given outlet for expression. People need to accept once and for all that there is only one life and each of us is free to shape it through the choices we make. Seeking can’t get anyone out of the tangle because everything is tangled up…it’s much easier to keep up the fight between good and evil, holy and profane, us and them. But as awareness grows, these opposites begin to calm down in their clashes, and something else emerges- a world you feel at home in.” PeopleThinkingWorldNeedsFeelsHomeChoicesFightingEvilGivenGrowsQualityAcceptingAwarenessCreationExpressionEasierHolyShapesHighestOppositesCalmSeekingGood And EvilOutletsClashTangledProfaneCalm Down Author:Deepak Chopra

“I would like a world full of love. But remember, that love has no opposite to it. It is simply because you inside yourself have been able, through awareness, to transform your hate into love. Even to say that you have been able to transform it is not right, but what else to do with language? Whatever you say, something is wrong in saying it, something goes wrong in saying it. The fact is, awareness itself transforms your hate into love, not that you transform it. Your work and function is simply to remain aware. Don't let anything happen in your life without awareness.” WorldLoveHas BeensFactsHappensAbleRememberHateLanguageAwarenessOppositesFunctionThings HappenWhatever You Say Author:Rajneesh
