Bill Hicks - Gifts of Forgiveness

Bill Hicks

“Three weeks ago two of my friends and I went to a ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas, and took what Terence McKenna calls “a heroic dose.” Five dried grams. Let me tell you, our third eye was squeegeed quite cleanly. Wow!”

“I’m glad mushrooms are against the law, because I took them one time, and you know what happened to me? I laid in a field of green grass for four hours going, “My God! I love everything. The heavens parted, God looked down and rained gifts of forgiveness onto my being. Healing me on every level. Psychically, physically, emotionally. And I realized that our true nature is spirit, not body. That we are eternal beings. And that God’s love is unconditional.  And there is nothing we can ever do to change that. It is only our illusion that we are separate from God, or that we are alone. In fact, the reality is we are one with God, and he loves us ” Yeah, now if that isn’t a hazard to our country … how are we gonna justify arms dealing when we realize that we’re all one? It’s going to fuck up the economy! The economy that’s fake anyway! Which would be a real bummer.”

“”I just think it’s interesting to see how people act on their beliefs, you know what I mean? ‘Cause your beliefs, they’re just that, they’re nothin’, they’re how you were taught, and raised. That doesn’t make ‘em real. That’s why I always recommend a psychedelic experience, ‘cause it does make you realize that everything you learned is in fact just learned, and not necessarily true. - Bill Hicks, Gifts of Forgiveness
