This document provides an overview of the counterculture movement of the 1960s with a focus on psychedelic drugs and their role in shaping new artistic expressions and spiritual communities. It discusses how LSD and other psychedelics were used as "instruments of transcendence" to experience alternate realities and pursue altered mental states. It also summarizes the emergence of new art forms inspired by psychedelic experiences and the formation of communities in places like the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco that sought authentic meaning and purpose outside of the existing social system.

New Perceptions, New Art A new art means only new forms, and new forms arise from one or both of two causes: new needs and new possibilities. The two often overlap, and they are brought to the conscious mind by the sudden discovery of new attractive sensations, of unfamiliar realities, of striking paradoxical connections in daily experience.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. -- St. Francis
