• Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature
  is ourselves, to be cherished and explored. Shamanism has always known this,
  and shamanism has always, in its most authentic expressions, taught that the
  path required allies. These allies are the hallucinogenic plants and the
  mysterious teaching entities, luminous and transcendental, that reside in that
  nearby dimension of ecstatic beauty and understanding that we have denied until
  it is now nearly too late.

• Ecstasy is our very nature, not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is real hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against the nature.

  Rajneesh
