At one point consciousness-altering devices like the microscope and telescope were criminalized for exactly the same reasons that psychedelic plants were banned in later years. They allow us to peer into bits and zones of Chaos.—Timothy Leary

Thoughts on existence 4-9-10:

Do you think cells have a conscious mind?
We can compare it to the body as a solar system and cells inside are people. They know of other bodies are out there, but they aren't attainable. They are too far away to reach. But they can be seen. Other functioning bodies with cells of their own.
Like other solar systems with life forces within them.
But then think of whats beyond that. Even greater systems containg smaller systems, which also contain smaller systems, and so on.
But then there's something even greater than that!
Something beyond everything else, which encompasses All of existence.
That is The universe as a whole. Source. God/Goddess. The Tao.
