Aldous' brother, Julian Huxley, considering opportunities for psychedelic research (1964):

'The drug researcher…is a thoroughly modern phenomenon. It can only arise in a society with a shattered religious worldview and in which, ∴, the knowledge has also been lost of the metaphysical significance & symbolic character of altered states and intoxicants.'
—Rudolf Gelpke

Me gesticulating heavily to the venerable Sue Blackmore at Dr Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes ‘s Philosophy of Mind group’s after-drinks. A superb session on Sue’s new ideas on consciousness and world-modelling (as presented at Tucson).

Lovely to have Susan Blackmore at our Mind & Metaphysics Group speaking about her new idea of 'Representational Panpsychism', and grateful to receive the new, 4th edition of her book, Consciousness.

John Toland, Pantheisticon (1720):
'The Sun is my Father,
the Earth my mother,
the World's my country,
and all Men are my relations.'

'By recognising the plant as an autonomous power ... we distance ourselves ... from the biased outlook that mind is a human monopoly and consequently nonexistent outside of us. A new world image, the task of the twenty-first century, needs to follow...'
—Ernst #Jünger , 1970/2022

'That vegetables and animals are physically akin to the earth is a belief shared by ourselves with the Greeks; but the notion of a psychical ... kinship is strange to us...’
– Collingwood (1945, 4)
