The Psychedelic Salon Podcast Terence quotes: “The search for a radio signal from an extraterrestrial source is probably as culture-bound an assumption as to search the galaxy for a good Italian restaurant.“ “It is no great accomplishment to hear a voice in the head. The accomplishment is to make sure it is telling you the truth.“ “The demons are of many kinds. Some are made of ions, some of mind. The ones of ketamine, you'll find, stutter often and are blind.“ “There is no dignity in the universe unless you meet these things [psychedelics] on your feet. And that means that you have an I/thou relationship, and you say ... 'you're long on talk, but what can you show me?“
