Wrong and inappropriate use has caused LSD to become my problem child.
Albert Hofmann
Image
This possibility to change reality, which exists in everyone, represents the real freedom of every human individual. He has an enormous possibility to change his world view.
Albert Hofmann
Image
In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight too unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors.
Albert Hofmann
Image
I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild.
Albert Hofmann
Image
I was completely astonished by the beauty of nature. Our eyes see just a small fraction of the light in the world. It is a trick to make a colored world, which does not exist outside of human beings.
Albert Hofmann
Image
I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.
Albert Hofmann

Our very essence is Absolute Consciousness without an I, without the consciousness of every individual, nothing really exists.

We need a new concept of reality and a new set of values for things to change in a positive direction. LSD could help to generate such a new concept.
Albert Hofmann
Image
LSD is really just a small chemical modification of a very old sacred drug of Mexico. LSD belongs, therefore, by its chemical structure and by its activity, in the group of the magic plants of Mesoamerica. It does not occur in nature as such, but it represents just a small chemical variation of natural material.
Albert Hofmann
Image
Through my LSD experience and my new picture of reality, I became aware of the wonder of creation, the magnificence of nature and of the animal and plant kingdom. I became very sensitive to what will happen to all this and all of us.

I became very sensitive to what will happen to all this and all of us.
Albert Hofmann
Image
We can study material processes and various processes at the energetic level, that is what we can do as natural scientists. And then there comes something quite different, the psychic experience, which remains a mystery.
Albert Hofmann
Image
When you study natural science and the miracles of creation, if you don't turn into a mystic you are not a natural scientist.
Albert Hofmann
Image
LSD wanted to tell me something. It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation.
Albert Hofmann
Image
The productive sender is the outer world, the external reality including our own body. The receiver is our deep self, the conscious ego, which then transforms the outer stimuli into a psychological experience.
Albert Hofmann

I know LSD I don't need to take it anymore. Maybe when I die, like Aldous Huxley.
