The thing that I think psychedelics do that addresses this problem and many, many problems or.. choke-points in our ideological effort to understand what's going on, is.. The contribution that they make is that they dissolve boundaries. And culture.. I mean, the word "virtual reality" was used as we went around the circle.. Culture is the sanctioned virtual reality. And it is put in place by the machinery of local language, you see. And so then you're born into this circumstance, and you're told, you know, you are a male child, you are a citizen, you are a citizen of the United States, you are a christian, you are a jew, you will go to collage, you will do thi.. And this you never question. It's called the "social contract". It hasn't gone unnoticed by Western philosophers, it's just.. It's gone unnoticed by those of us who are its foremost victims.
They try to tell you that you're in a social contract, but when you ask to see your signature on the document, they tell you that you were born into this contract. Well, what the hell kind of contract is that? It means that you were born into a kind of enslavement to a linguistically empowered paradigm of virtual reality within which you will walk around your entire life. You know, congratulating yourself on its accomplishments and ignoring its contradictions and weaknesses.
So, what psychedelics do, and why they are in all times and all places such social dynamite, is, they dissolve the cultural machinery. Doesn't matter, you know.. head-shrinking, Amazon-native, Hassidic Jew, Chinese merchant in Singapore.. Whoever it is, the psychedelic dissolves their cultural construct and puts them in touch with the fact of being in organism. Being in organism is like what you get when you take off your real clothing. Not this clothing, but the clothing of language, programming and assumption. Then you find yourself within the context of organism outside the context of culture. And the reason this is not a mass movement, is many people hear that and they say: "I know what that is, that's called being nuts. I don't want that. That sounds absolutely terrifying."
