Inspirational Quotes by Christopher M. Bache — Words of Wisdom for Daily Success

“Aldous Huxley wrote his beautiful book The Doors of Perception after only one mescaline trip, and he took psychedelics only ten times during his life.* Similarly, when the great historian of religion Huston Smith published his collected reflections on psychedelics, Cleansing the Doors of Perception, he had taken LSD only a half dozen times. After that, he said, "The utility seemed to go down quickly and the bummers increased," leading him to adopt Alan Watts's advice: "When you get the message, hang up the phone." This book is about what happens if you don't hang up the phone.”

“All my life I have had a passionate desire to understand how our universe works. Why are our lives the way they are? Why is there so much suffering in life? Is there a larger intelligence operating in the universe, and if so, toward what end? What is the purpose and project of existence? In our culture's current materialist paradigm that reduces everything to physical matter, these questions are considered beyond the pale of genuine knowledge, and attempts to answer them are seen as being purely speculative enterprises. In my sessions, however, I was given the opportunity to explore these questions in exercises of profound experiential instruction choreographed by a vast intelligence. I was shown things that stunned and transfixed me, was allowed to experience things that completely reframed my understanding of existence.”
