Notes

Reports conversion from atheism to mysticism. Reports the use of ayahuasca to learn "many different things...the most important was that everything in the universe is really one thing. There was a perfect unity which had degrees of manifestation, with human beings at the top, no doubt."[1]

Alfie Fox: working "for several years now you have been developing a method which you say could lead man away from the threat of extinction and towards the realization of his true capabilities and purpose. How real is the threat of extinction?"[2]

Argues for the need to develop a new logic and framework. "Dialectical thought has made the Industrial Revolution possible; there is nothing wrong with it. But now it is time to change it because the competition and the opposition which was necessary during that period-which was absolutely necessary then-is now, in the moment we are living, totally unnecessary. We can compete no more. The territory of our planet is too well known. All the experts in all the areas are saying exactly the same thing, that this planet is limited, and we must start thinking in terms of good administration of its limited resources. If radiation will not kill us, the bad allocation of resources will!""Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

Interestingly, early on tagged Carlos Castenda as a fraud.[3]
