Quotes by Paul Austin:
- “Through expanded states of consciousness we come to feel recognize what it means to be free. The best way to replicate that state of feeling over a long period of time is by pursuing a path of entrepreneurship.”
- “Psychedelic substances and microdosing are a way to drop deeper into the truth of objective reality… it becomes easier to create and manifest because we’re creating from a place of honesty and integrity rather than dissociation.”
- “There is no good or bad psychedelic experience, there’s only safe and unsafe psychedelic experiences.”
- “How can psychedelic medicines inform the new systems in culture and society that we want to create so that we can evolve as a human species?”
- “The intent of working with psychedelics is to be our own healer and to tap into our deepest wellspring of power, so that we feel that we have agency and choice, and so that we can create our existence as we wish to create it.”
