"In the early years of my research, I became enthusiastic about these exciting new observations and made several attempts to discuss them with my Czech colleagues. I quickly found that my scientific reputation would be at stake if I continued to do so. During the first decade of this work, much of my research was done in isolation, and I had to carefully censor my communications with other professionals. I found only a handful of friends with whom I could openly talk about my findings."[1]
"...the potential for a mystical experience is the natural birthright of all human beings..."[2]
"We do believe in life after death. The many deities and spirits come from that belief. We return in the form of animals, trees, birds, spirits and other forms. We are part of the whole.
