"At the gathering they ate small mushrooms called teonanacatl. These are intoxicating and cause visions to be seen. They ate these mushrooms with honey, and when they began to be excited by them, they began to dance, some singing, others weeping, for they were already intoxicated by the mushrooms. Some did not want to sing but sat down in their quarters and remained there as if in a meditative mood. Some saw themselves dying in a vision and wept; others saw themselves being eaten by a wild beast; others imagined that they were capturing prisoners in battle, that they were rich, that they possessed many slaves, that they had committed adultery and were to have their heads crushed for the offense, that they were guilty of a theft for which they were to be killed, and many other visions which they saw. When the intoxication from the little mushrooms had passed, they talked over among themselves the visions which they had seen."

Four centuries later, in 1960, Harvard psychologist Timothy Leary ate a bowlful of Psilocybin mushrooms on a trip to Mexico. Here's how he described the visions that changed him from staid, Ivy League academic to High Priest of the New World: 

"I was lying unicelled looking up up up through the spiral unfolding of two billion years of evolution, seeing it all ahead of me, ovum, segmentation, differentiation of organs, plant, fish, mammal, monkey, baby....It was a classic visionary voyage and I came back a changed man. You are never the same after you've had that one flash glimpse down the cellular time tunnel."

Dr. Leary took a trip into inner space and discovered a New World!
