Vautsi, kiitos linkistä.

Hyvää luettava. Etenkin toisen kappaleen zen mässäilyt maistuivat.

Miltäköhän vuodelta tuo on? Yhdessä paikassa luki, että seminaari oli 1968, mikä sopisi hippijuttuihin, wikipediassa että vuodelta 1960.

Kuuluisi kirja-topikkiin, mutta kun miehestä on puhe, niin haluaisin lämpimästi suosittella Alan Wattsin Psykoterapiaa idästä ja lännestä

Finally, there are two specific objections to use of psychedelic drugs. First, use of these drugs may be dangerous. However, every worth-while exploration is dangerous—climbing mountains, testing aircraft, rocketing into outer space, skin diving, or collecting botanical specimens in jungles. But if you value knowledge and the actual delight of exploration more than mere duration of uneventful life, you are willing to take the risks. It is not really healthy for monks to practice fasting, and it was hardly hygienic for Jesus to get himself crucified, but these are risks taken in the course of spiritual adventures. Today the adventurous young are taking risks in exploring the psyche, testing their mettle at the task just as, in times past, they have tested it—more violently—in hunting, dueling, hot-rod racing, and playing football. What they need is not prohibitions and policemen, but the most intelligent encouragement and advice that can be found.
