By Drop Out, I Mean To Detach

Pursuing The Religious Life Today Without Using Psychedelics Drugs Is Like Studying Astronomy With The Naked Eye Because That's How They Did It In The First Century A.d.

We Are Dealing With The Best-educated Generation In History. But They've Got A Brain Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go. Science Is All Metaphor. In The Information Age, You Don't Teach Philosophy As They Did After Feudalism. You Perform It. If Aristotle Were Alive Today He'd Have A Talk Show. If You Don't Like What You Are Doing, You Can Always Pick Up Your Needle And Move To Another Groove. If You Take The Game Of Life Seriously, If You Take Your Nervous System Seriously, If You Take Your Sense Organs Seriously, If You Take The Energy Process Seriously, You Must Turn On, Tune In, And Drop Out.

Actions Which Are Conscious Expressions Of The Turn-on, Tune-in, Drop-out Rhythm Are Religious.the Wise Person Devotes His Life Exclusively To The Religious Search - For Therein Is Found The Only Ecstasy, The Only Meaning. Anything Else Is A Competitive Quarrel Over (or Hollywood-love Sharing Of) Studio Props.

Seven Million People I Turned On, And Only One Hundred Thousand Have Come By To Thank Me.

When Men Set Out To Kill And Bully, They Dress Up. Suit Of Armor. Combat Boots. Uniform.
