Something wrong with the clip?

Eddie Jessup:
Memory is energy! It doesn't disappear - it's still in there. There's a physiological pathway to our earlier consciousnesses. There has to be; and I'm telling you it's in the goddamned limbic system.
Mason Parrish:
You're a whacko!
Eddie Jessup:
What's whacko about it, Mason? I'm a man in search of his true self. How archetypically American can you get? We're all trying to fulfill ourselves, understand ourselves, get in touch with ourselves, face the reality of ourselves, explore ourselves, expand ourselves. Ever since we dispensed with God we've got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life. That first self is real... and I'm going to find the fucker.

00:00:00.497 --> 00:00:02.832
We've got six billion years
of memory in our minds.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.084
- Hydrogen atoms are older...
- Memory is energy.
00:00:05.252 --> 00:00:07.211
It doesn't disappear. It's still in there.
00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:10.298
There's a physiological pathway
to our earlier consciousnesses.
00:00:10.466 --> 00:00:13.217
There has to be. I'm telling you,
it's in the limbic system.
00:00:13.385 --> 00:00:15.052
Jessup, you are a wacko.
00:00:15.022 --> 00:00:17.972
What's wacko about it?
I'm a man in search of his true self.
00:00:18.014 --> 00:00:21.001
- How archetypically American can you get?
- Ha, ha, ha.
00:00:21.268 --> 00:00:25.897
Everybody's looking for their true selves.
We're all trying to fulfill ourselves...
00:00:26.064 --> 00:00:28.566
...understand ourselves,
get in touch with ourselves...
00:00:28.734 --> 00:00:33.007
...face the reality of ourselves,
explore ourselves, expand ourselves.
00:00:33.238 --> 00:00:34.906
Ever since we dispensed with God...
00:00:35.073 --> 00:00:39.118
...we've got nothing but ourselves
to explain this meaningless horror of life.
00:00:39.286 --> 00:00:40.786
You're a wacko.
00:00:42.581 --> 00:00:45.333
Well, l think that that true self...
00:00:45.501 --> 00:00:50.296
...that original self, that first self,
is a real, mensurate, quantifiable thing...
00:00:50.464 --> 00:00:53.716
...tangible and incarnate...
00:00:54.051 --> 00:00:57.997
...and I'm going to find the fucker.
00:01:20.661 --> 00:01:25.456
EDDIE: What are their chemical properties?
Are they safe?
00:01:25.624 --> 00:01:29.999
ECCHEVERRIA: The mushrooms
are almost certainly Amanita muscaria...
00:01:29.503 --> 00:01:33.631
...a very powerful psychedelic,
and a little dangerous.
00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:37.134
It contains belladonna-like alkaloids...
00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:39.845
...atropine, scopolamine.
00:01:40.005 --> 00:01:43.849
The sinicuichi plant is highly regarded...
00:01:44.996 --> 00:01:47.999
...among a number of Indian tribes.
I've seen it as far north as Chihuahua.
00:01:48.146 --> 00:01:51.524
The Indians say it evokes old memories.
00:01:51.999 --> 00:01:53.651
Even ancient ones.
00:01:54.444 --> 00:01:58.197
And the Hinchis call it the first flower.
00:01:59.491 --> 00:02:03.998
- The first in the sense of primordial?
- Yes.
00:02:03.245 --> 00:02:05.371
In the sense of the most ancient.
00:02:06.001 --> 00:02:08.999
I'd like to try it.
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:11.001
Do you think they'd let me
join their ritual?
00:02:13.297 --> 00:02:15.881
Well, they seem like agreeable people.
