All phenomena are real in some sense, unreal in some sense, meaningless in some sense, real and meaningless in some sense, unreal and meaningless in some sense, and real and unreal and meaningless in some sense.
Robert Anton Wilson (via commondense)

If the world is code, then it can be hacked. It permits magick because it says, behind the laws of physics, is a deeper level and if you can reach that deeper level, you can make changes there.
Terence McKenna (via commondense)

There is tension around the flying saucer, aside from the erotic connotation, because the flying saucer represents a tremendous challenge to science, perhaps the ultimate challenge. It may be as confounding to science as the resurrection of Christ was to Greek empiricism and Roman imperialism. The flying saucer is essentially an agent of cultural change.
Terrence Mckenna, The Archaic Revival

The UFO is an idea intended to confound science, because science has begun to threaten the existence of the human species as well as the ecosystem of the planet. At this point, a shock is necessary for the culture, a shock equivalent to the Resurrection on Roman imperialism. (…) I think that to some degree science has betrayed human destiny. We have been led to brink of star flight, but we’ve also been led to the brink of thermonuclear holocaust. The result of this betrayal is that science may well be swept away by the revelation of the UFO.
Terrence Mckenna, The Archaic Revival

Art? Did you say Art? It’s too late for Art. It’s too late for anything but Magick itself…
Robert Anton Wilson

We need to cultivate a sense of mystery. The mystery is not only in the Other; it is in us. This reverberates again with the idea that we become what we behold. The nature of history is suddenly transforming in the post quantum physics, postmodern phase; this was not expected. The nineteenth century, the early twentieth century - they didn’t realize this was what they were pointed into. Although some few people, the ‘Pataphysicians, the internal surrealists, saw what was coming. But now here we are.
Terence Mckenna

Frankly, I’d find life a bore if I weren’t playing for very high stakes in a very high risk situation. We do have the chance now, for internal Utopia and even for internal immortality. If we who see this opportunity aren’t smart enough, adroit enough, and fast enough to seize the chance, then we don’t deserve to initiate the next stage of internal evolution… Meanwhile, until they shovel me under, I still think our side is winning and that the power brokers that you worry about are a bunch of dying internal dinosaurs.
Robert Anton Wilson

It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. In an evolving universe, who stands still moves backwards.
Robert Anton Wilson

Marshall McLuhan made the prophecy… he told us, the aim of internal evolution is for us to use media, to create what we all want… the global village. the language that can be understood by every human being, by every brain… the basic language of humanity, the language of the brain… lights, sounds, rhythms, internal pulsating your bones, moving your body, we all know this language, we can all sing and internal dance, this language… the electrons, the radio waves, the rhythm… now we have digital communication… we can create our fantasies, we can create our rhythms… design, on screens, the new language we develop, a global language… not based on letters, not based on grammars… a language we all understand… based on clusters of waves, light, sound, we all understand… we all celebrate, we are glory, in the light, the illumination… internal contact, the intersection, the interaction, around the world… the language of form… we will create a language of international global brain link up. anyone from any culture watching this screen, will get the general picture.. this one global village, this one global human spirit, one global human race… as we link up through screens, linked by electrons & photons we will create for the first internal time, a global humanity…. not separated by words or minds or nationalities or religious biases… now. listen. the message, from the sponsor… there is one global human race, who are just now learning to communicate… brain to brain, soul to soul…
Timothy Leary

in the sixties, we said power to the people… in the nineties, in the digital multimedia nineties we say, power to the pupil.
Timothy Leary

it has been the authorities, the political, religious, educational authorities, who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, in-forming, forming our minds, with their view of reality… to think for yourself, you must question authority, and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open mindedness, chaotic, confused, vulnerability, to inform yourself…
Timothy Leary

chaos is beautiful. there are many times we are afraid, because we want order… we can’t deal with confusion and disorder… we want form, we want rules… yes… throughout human history there have been people, religious leaders, political leaders, who will give you order. they will give you rules and commandments.. but chaos is basically good, relax… surf the internal linkwaves of chaos, and learn how to re-design your own internal linkrealities… sit back… internal linkflow… open your eyes… turn off your minds and focus, and let the waves of chaos roll over your brian… float, drift, zoom, design, create, re-order, your order, your style, from chaos… yes… yes… chaos… yes…
Timothy Leary
