The Psychedelic Jumpstart
We are approaching
a culmination of technological advancement and human achievement --
what many refer to as..
the Singularity
As we get closer, our predicament becomes more and ore precarious.
Our very survival as a species will reach a tipping point
that will result in either our extinction or our transcendence.
The Role of Psychedelics
In a sense, this historical crisis --
or this Singularity
that we're approaching --
is like a transition from
a low dimensional world,
say a world of 2 or 3 dimensions,
to a world of 4, 5 or 6 dimensions.
This is what I believe actually happens
to a human
um, brain/mind system
under the influence of psychedelics.
So in a way, the best practice
for the approaching Singularity
is the repeated dissolving
and reconstituting of one's
personality through the use of
psychedelic, um, substances.
...the most interesting plants in the garden,
this is Psychotria Viridis,
this is the plant which
causes the vision.
When taken with ayahuasca,
when taken as a liquid,
the experience lasts about 4 to 6 hours.
It's not as intense as smoking it --
smoking it is the most intense experience
this side of the yawning grave.
from Rudolf Steiner's
Knowledge of Higher Worlds
By concentration and meditation,
the student works upon his soul
and develops within it
the soul's organs of perception.
His soul grows within his body --
just as the embryo child grows
in the body of the Mother.
The moment of birth is approaching
for the delivery of the soul --
for she has literally become
a new being
developed by the individual
within himself from seed to fruit.
I pay very close attention
I use my mind as an
alchemical vessel
for carrying out observations
on the union of spirit --
my spirit, my personality --
and matter...
physical matter of the substance
that I'm ingesting.
Nothing in human experience
is as much like the Singularity
as a psychedelic experience
a way of a microcosmic anticipation
of this macrocosmic event
in history.
Uh, when we take psychedelics,
we undergo a mini-apocolypse --
a mini-revelation --
and it positions us then
for these larger events
in the historical context.
Obviously, if we're experiencing
more change now in a year
than we previously experienced in a thousand years
we can propogate that trend
into the future
and see that a day will come
when we will experience more change
in an hour
than we have experienced in the
past 20-30,000 years.
A situation like that
is unimaginable,
so we call it, uh,
a Singularity --
a place where the normal rules
of modeling break down.
In whatever form it takes,
we seem to be on the cusp
of a dramatic evolutionary leap
into a deeper order of complexity
than biology --
or biology + culture --
has been able to provide.
We're on the brink
of something truly
awesome and unknown.
Are you ready?
the Singularity approaches...
