Ichthyoallyeinotoxism (hallucinogenic fish poisoning)

Terence McKenna

“We are told ‘no’, we’re unimportant, we’re peripheral. ‘Get a degree, get a job, get this, get that.’ And then you’re a player, but you don’t want to play in the game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”
– Terence McKenna

Faust on emotional honesty.

The few of understanding, vision rare,
who veiled not from the herd their hearts, but tried,
poor generous fools, to lay their feelings bare,
them have men always burnt and crucified.

Rend the books, lest your heart be rent asunder.

Discovered this all thanks to the help of my local library. Visit yours today.

"Every Monday morning Wölfli is given a new pencil and two large sheets of unprinted newsprint. The pencil is used up in two days; then he has to make do with the stubs he has saved or with whatever he can beg off someone else. He often writes with pieces only five to seven millimetres long and even with the broken-off points of lead, which he handles deftly, holding them between his fingernails. He carefully collects packing paper and any other paper he can get from the guards and patients in his area; otherwise he would run out of paper before the next Sunday night. At Christmas the house gives him a box of coloured pencils, which lasts him two or three weeks at the most."
