As our technological society exhausts our resources and limps to a halt, we will revert back to an age of magic. The world of tomorrow will not be a world of wall-to-wall television and a spaceship in every garage. It will be a world of oracles. […] Oneness with the cosmos would eliminate the need for money, for productivity, for an organized civilization. The whole population would become like the scattered few ascetics who sit entranced in caves, enjoying Godhead, total ecstatic unity with the superspectrum.

— John Keel, The Eighth Tower, 1985 (via)
