The Deoxyribonucleic Hyperdimension We must discover new frontiers... People have been standing for centuries before a worm-eaten door, making pinholes in it with increasing ease. The time has come to kick it down, for it is only on the other side that everything begins. Raoul Vaneigem
What the initiate experienced was "new, astonishing, inaccessible to rational cognition. (...) At last you know what the ineffable is and what ecstasy means. (...) The mind harks back to the origin of that word. For the Greeks ekstasis meant the flight of the soul from the body. I can find no better word to describe the bemushroomed state. (...) In common parlance, among the many who have not experienced ecstasy, ecstasy is fun, and I am frequently asked why I do not reach for mushrooms every night. (...) But ecstasy is not fun. Your very soul is seized and shaken until it tingles. (...) After all, who will chose to feel undiluted awe, or to float through that door yonder into the divine presence? (...) The unknowing abuse the word, but we must recapture its full and terrifying sense.
Island Web: Aldous Huxley's Psychedelic Community The Island Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation with headquarters in Santa Cruz, California composed of individuals dedicated to the creation of a psychedelic culture. The group is named for English novelist Aldous Huxley's last novel, Island about a utopian culture called Pala. (...) Our focus begins with the psychedelic experience, but then goes on to explore how, once we have had these experiences, we can create, and begin to live in a culture that has this vision woven into it's very fabric.
Hyperreal is a resource and a home on the Internet for information and activies surrounding the memes of music, dance, art, altered states of consciousness, and experimental ways of expressing those memes over the wires. Information like this doesn't want to be free, it NEEDS to be free, and it needs a place to be expressed independent of any overriding responsibility to a larger institution.

HTML edition, table of contents and complete text, ©1980 McGraw-Hill Book Company. Translated by Jonathan Ott from the German, LSD—Mein Sorgenkind, 1979 THE ROAD TO ELEUSIS by Wasson, Hofmann, & Ruck Acting on an insight into the true nature of the Mysteries of Eleusis, R. Gordon Wasson sought the collaboration of Albert Hofmann and Carl A.P. Ruck, a classical scholar specializing in Greek ethnobotany. Closely coordinating their research, the three scholar-scientists first offered documentation on the religious rites at an International Conference on Hallucinogenic Mushrooms in 1977. These astonishing findings, given here in a much expanded version, leave little doubt that the ancient secret of Eleusis has at last been unveiled.
