A. M. Houot
“We have been witnessing a rebirth of psychedelic research since the early 2000s. Due to the fact we are in what many people call the Psychedelic Renaissance, one cannot help but draw comparisons to the European Renaissance that spanned the 15th and 16th centuries. An equally significant age, one that started around the same time and lasted another century or so, was the Age of Discovery. If we are in a Psychedelic Renaissance, and keeping in mind that history regularly repeats itself, it would be reasonable to assume that a parallel set of activities with matching enthusiasm will happen, what I call the Psychedelic Age of Discovery.”
A. M. Houot, RISE OF THE PSYCHONAUT: Maps for Amateurs, Nonscientists and Explorers in the Psychedelic Age of Discovery

G. Scott Graham
“What’s left after the wave
is not yours to own—
but you can sit beside it.
The sage holds what arises
as one might hold water:
open hands,
no fists.”
G. Scott Graham, The Tao of Psychedelics
