Hallucinogen — LSD (Live Mix)

'You're introduced to LSD, an' it's not like taking some other drug for instance like marijuana or something, hm, well, you know, it's altogether a new thing, and you actually can have a religious experience, and, hm, and it can be even more important than reading the bible six times or becoming a pope or something like that, you know...'

'LSD hints to us that there is an area of the mind which could be called unsane beyond sanity, and yet not insane. Think of a circle with a fine split in it, one end is insanity, you go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the circle, close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity. It had to do with piecing together new thoughts of the mind.'

From 'The Beyond Within: The Rise and Fall of LSD' (BBC documentary, 1987)

The Beyond Within: The Rise and Fall of LSD

The Infinity Project — Stimuli

'7am. As the day begins, the drug is inhaled to introduce the strange language of the initiation rites.'

'The neutrons bombard the electrons, bombard the electrons, neutrons bombard the electrons. The electrons do it to the neutrons'

'From the gravitation of this world, into the world of the spirits.'

The Infinity Project — Cybertropic

'This looks like a psychotropic reaction!'

'No wonder it's so popular.'
