“Hallucinogenic plants act as enzymes which stimulate imagination.”
— Terence McKenna
In societies with no imaginations &/or dead minds, a dead imagination, we need a re-empowering of the imagination.
Psychedelics are one of the most powerful & intense tools to be used for the imagination, but I speak this with caution; psychedelics can cause both heavenly & hellish hallucinations… it can be the best experience of your life, or something like hell…
I do a high psychedelic dose once a year, usually with psilocybin mushrooms but I look forward to doing some other psychedelics.
In a world with no imagination, any imagination is better than nothing.
Einstein agreed: “For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
The Psychedelic Trip Journal is an imagination stimulating journal.
With Ken Thompson 
Ken, much new research is very conclusive—psychedelics do not “light up” your imagination but to the contrary—they significantly decrease brain activity and that mimics NDE, g-force training, cardiac arrest, etc. so I have a question to ponder—how can decreased brain activity lead to greater experience and awareness? Seems that those skilled in the meditative arts have known this all along.
Aldous Huxley believed that the brain acts as a “reducing valve” that constrains conscious awareness, with mescaline and other hallucinogens inducing psychedelic effects by inhibiting this filtering mechanism. Huxley based this explanation entirely on his personal experiences, and his interpretation was in line with Tesla who believed his brain was just a filter and consciousness everywhere.
