Thank you for finding the key to the mind in the realm of possibilities, and bringing it into the world of Man.
Thank you for transforming my mind, our minds, and the world entirely.
Your Soul departed from us, it is needed elsewhere.
Danke, Herr Doktor.
Requiescat In Pace

The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul thatis present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Interesting, I had just went to visit Erowid for the first time in ages yesterday (in preparation for a mescaline experience), and was looking through the signed blotter art they have available for a $5000 donation to the site. It's interesting to me, how as one partner passes, it seems that more often than not, the other will soon follow (Albert's wife passed in December 2007). My many thanks, appreciation, and admiration to him and his countless contributions to human knowledge and experience.
Shit 5000$? I have a lot of stuff signed by Shulgin, Ott, Leary, Hofmann... am I rich then?

There's no better way to rock out than with your cock out!!
Not sure Colonel, but you wouldn't actually want to sell that stuff, would ya?

watched the "beyond the within" documentary with a friend and turned his mind about acid - now he's willing to experiment too. said hofmann left a great impression on him.

Not really, but shit, I might get a good bite out of my 100th anniversary blotter art signed by some of the top psychedelic experts in the world
I will always treasure my signed copy of Hofmann's book tho. He signed it for my mother about 15 years ago when they first met but I couldn't get him to sign it again when I met him
You had to meet the man in real life to understand how much of an "aura" he had.

I suddenly became strangely inebriated. The external world became changed as in a dream. Objects appeared to gain inrelief; they assumed unusual dimensions; and colors became more glowing. Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed. When the eyes were closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changing kaleidoscope. After a few hours, the not unpleasant inebriation, which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious, disappeared. what had caused this condition? - - Albert Hofmann - - Laboratory Notes (1943)
I'm not sad about Dr. Hofmanns passing, perhaps im so immersed in study that im not giving it much thought. Regardless, his life was full, and impacted all humanity. His life will be celebrated by many, maybe not today, or tomorrow, but his life will be celebrated by many.
Quote: aDoS said: Hoffmann died on April 29, 2008 in Basel. He was 102 years old.
wow I'm late on the news...this is so sad.
He lived a long and happy life though.
Good bye you wonderful human being
-------------------- Damn, life is beautiful,
even though gettin through it is hard.
Pull your chin up and just keep sailing,
Keep looking and living with heart.
Another great hero and explorer of inner space. Thanks for your immense contributions to all psychonauts and for your persistence and courage to see beyond the box and truly appreciate the beauty of creation. A true scientist, let alone self-actualized human being you were, Sir Hofmann. See you on the otherside.
-------------------- To most people who are even moderately experienced with entheogens, concepts such as awe, sacredness, eternity, grace, transcendence, dark night of the soul, heaven and hell are more than theological ideas; they are experiences.
"We contemplate the same stars, the Heavens are common to us all, and the same world surrounds us. What matters the path of wisdom by which each person seeks the truth? One cannot reach such a great mystery by a single path." - Symmachus, challenging the violent persecution of pagans by Catholic Roman emperor Theodosius I

Wow, thats pretty cool. So you actually got to meet him! Where? Psychedelic forum? Details would be interesting.
FYI: I was on the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors website and saw this:
Please join us for a Memorial service to honor the life of Dr. Albert Hofmann Saturday, May 3rd from 6:30p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.
In memory of Hofmann, I sported my LSD molecule shirt yesterday. I got so many people asking wtf I was wearing... And I explained that the creator of LSD died the day before and for some reason everyone understood. They had plenty of questions for me (not acid users) but it went over well.
