Original clip from this movie
'A kind of dream world appeared, a quite, a feeling of oneness with the world, a very strange experience which remain reminded me to some experience I had in childhood. Sometimes when I was in nature, in the forest, in the wood, that I had some kind of, I would say, mystical experiences. The feeling of oneness to be one with nature, the feeling to see now the true aspects of nature, the beauty and and which filled me with happiness.'
'I believe with the advent of acid, we discovered a new way to think. And it had to do with piecing together new thoughts in your mind that produced people like Bob Dylan and John Lennon and William s Burroughs that were using new images together in a way that jarred the mind and produced images that were latent in our consciousness, but were not being brought about by reading Vanity Fair.'
'You're introduced to LSD unless you've taken some other drug, like, for instance, like marijuana or something. Well, you know, it's an altogether new thing. And you actually can have a religious experience, and it can be even more important than reading the Bible six times or or be becoming a pope or something like that.'
'What is it about it that that is scares people so deeply? Even the guy that invented it. What is it? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted, that there are doors, that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.'
'The common way we think about the nature of the human mind is that it is either sane or insane. LSD hints to us that there is a 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. At 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. This is perhaps where all the superlative efforts of humanity come from, not only of art, but of science. And it may be that we are could approach it by a thoughtful, wise study of LSD.'
