We are magic. It is magic that were walking around. Its fantastic magi — Donovan

"We are magic. It is magic that were walking around. Its fantastic magic. Some people would call it miracles; I like to call it magic. … Yes, Im very aware of this. Yes, the more aware I get, the more I can understand how big it is, how big it will get. Itll be harder to comprehend; thats why I have to go along with it, cause its so vast. To say to somebody that God is everything that lives and ever has lived and ever will live, and youre never going to touch and see, smell and be everything that is God. Magic is very hard to comprehend."

"I should say that when people talk about capitalism its a bit of a joke. Theres no such thing. No country, no business class, has ever been willing to subject itself to the free market, free market discipline. Free markets are for others. Like, the Third World is the Third World because they had free markets rammed down their throat. Meanwhile, the enlightened states, England, the United States, others, resorted to massive state intervention to protect private power, and still do. Thats right up to the present. I mean, the Reagan administration for example was the most protectionist in post-war American history. Virtually the entire dynamic economy in the United States is based crucially on state initiative and intervention: computers, the internet, telecommunication, automation, pharmaceutical, you just name it. Run through it, and you find massive ripoffs of the public, meaning, a system in which under one guise or another the public pays the costs and takes the risks, and profit is privatized. Thats very remote from a free market. Free market is like what India had to suffer for a couple hundred years, and most of the rest of the Third World."
