Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The drug mescalin, the active principle of peyote, has a unique position among drugs. It changes the quality of consciousness more profoundly than any other substance, and yet it is less toxic than any other.

#2 We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.

#3 To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. To see others as they see themselves is also a most important gift, but what if these others belong to a different species and inhabit a radically alien universe.

#4 The change that occurred in me was not revolutionary. I became aware of a slow dance of golden lights.
