Confess your hidden faults.
Approach what you find repulsive.

Anything you are attached to, let it go.
Go to places that scare you.

Turn on, tune in, drop out.” - Timothy Leary

Drop acid, not bombs!” - Unknown

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.”
- Albert Hofmann

Last night, I was meditating, absorbed in the contemplation of nature. I was filled with wonder at its immensity, at the stars in their courses, at the mutual interaction of those countess orbs, one upon another, which people look upon unmoved. And I marveled still more at the Mind which governs the whole mighty scheme. A man must be blind I said to myself, not to be dazzled by such a spectacle, a fool not to acknowledge its Author, a madman not to adore him.”
- Voltare
 
Being conscious is
cutting through your own melodrama
and being right here.
Exist in no mind, be empty, here now,
and trust that as a situation arises,
out of you will come what is necessary
to deal with that situation
including the use of your intellect
when appropriate.
Your intellect need not be
constantly held on to
to keep reassuring you
that you know where you’re at,
out of fear of loss of control.
Ultimately, when you stop identifying
so much
with your physical body
and with your psychological entity,
that anxiety starts to disintegrate.
And your start to define yourself
as in flow with the universe;
and whatever comes along ~
death, life joy, sadness ~
is grist for the mill of awakening,
Not this versus that
but
whatever.

_Baba Ram Dass

This your lot as a male: you get in the saddle and you pull and you pull until you die. Then they bury you, and if you did well, they say nice things about you.

In heaven all the interesting people are missing.-Nietzsche

When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do. -Jimi Hendrix

The worst crime is faking it.-Kurt Cobain

If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.-Kurt Cobain

There's countless of other Cobain quotes that I love. Tons of great quotes in Nirvana lyrics and his Journals.
