:24:03
What dignifies the yogic practices is the
belief system itself is not truly religious.
:24:10
There is no Buddhist god, per se.
:24:12
It is the Self, the individual Mind, that
contains immortality and ultimate Truth.
:24:17
What is not religious about that?
:24:19
You've simply replaced God
with the original Self.
:24:21
Yes, but we've localized it.
:24:22
Now I know where the Self is.
It's in our own minds.
:24:24
It's a form of human energy.
Our atoms are six billion years old.
:24:28
We've got six billion years
of memory in our minds.
:24:32
Memory is energy! It doesn't disappear!
It's still in there!
:24:34
There's a physiological pathway
to our earlier consciousnesses.
:24:37
There has to be.
It's in the goddamned limbic system.
:24:40
Jessup, you're a whacko!
:24:42
What's whacko about it?
I'm a man in search of his true Self.
:24:45
How archetypically American can you get?
:24:48
Everybody's looking for their true selves.
:24:51
We're all trying to fulfill ourselves...
:24:54
...understand ourselves,
get in touch with ourselves...
:24:56
...face the reality of ourselves,
explore ourselves, expand ourselves.
:25:01
Ever since we dispensed with God...
:25:02
...we've got nothing but ourselves
to explain this meaningless horror of life.
:25:07
You're whacko.
:25:10
Well, I think that the true Self...
:25:13
...that original Self, that first Self,
is a real, mensurate, quantifiable thing...
:25:18
...tangible and incarnate...
:25:22
...and I'm going to find the fucker.
:25:48
What are their chemical properties?
:25:52
Are they safe?
:25:53
The mushrooms are almost
certainly amanita muscaria...
:25:57
...a very powerful psychedelic
and a little dangerous.
