The situation that we now must deal with is not one of seeking the answer, but of facing the answer. The answer
has been found, it just happens to lie on the wrong side of the fence of social toleration and legality. We are thus forced into a
strange little dance. Those professionally involved know that psychedelics are the most powerful instruments for the study of the
mind that are possible to conceive, and yet these people often work in acedemia and must frantically try to ignore the fact that
the answer has been placed in our hands.
Our situation is not unlike that of the sixteenth century when the
telescope was invented and shattered the established paradigm of the heavens. The 1960s proved that we are not wise enough to
take the psychedelic tools into our hands without a social and intellectual transformation. This
transformation must begin now with each of us.
