- Is mental disorder due to a chemical disorder? -pg13
以下作者開始講述服用Mescalin之後的知覺轉變... ...
- We live together, we act on, and react ot, one another,; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves... ... Embraced, the lovers desparately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies - all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes. -pg13
- Most island universes are sufficiently like one another to permit of inferential understanding or even of mutual empathy or 'feeling into'. Thus, remembering our own bereavements and humiliations, we can condole with others in analogous circummstances, can put ourselves in their places. -pg14
- ... ... there is little or no common ground of memory to serve as a basis for understanding or fellow feeling. -pg14
- Words are uttered, but fail to enlighten. -pg14
- The great change was in the realm of objective fact. What had happened to my subjective universe was relatively unimportant. -pg16
- I was not looking now at an unusual flower arrangement. I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation - the miracle, moment by moment, of naked existence. -pg17
- 'Is it agreeable?' someone asked. 'neither agreeable nor disagreeable,' I answered. 'It just is'. -pg17

很禪宗的體驗..
其實也很感傷，人在物理世界裡，真的很孤獨...
