Yeah, is the...is the sound comfortable for everyone,

is the light comfortable for everyone,

and are you comfortable ?

Well you shouldn't be, the planet is going to shit in a hand bag. No, I am .. I am ..that's just my John Lilly imitation.
Not me at all...
In order to make sure we all understand the domain
...we are operating from here...
I would like to talk a little about, what it's like to be loaded
because I think that's the ground zero
Of what we are talking about
Psychedelics are like any another .....social phenomenon
My notion of ... of the psychedelic cosmogony if you wana think of it that way
..It's like a bulls eye...it's like series of concentric circles
and various substances place you in various quadrants ..
Of that Mandal at various distances from Ground Zero,
which is at the absolute centre.
and I have tried to do everything, with a certain level of attention and ...... reverence
Because, I think the..you know.. it's all very fine to go armed with the knowledge of pharmacology,
dose response, LD50 and all that
but I think as Pagans and Magicians, we really understand that..
the mind can do anything,
And...there is a horribly frightening little passage in Jung somewhere where he says...
the unconscious has a thousand ways to terminate a life that has become meaningless..meaning you know..
Meaning you know you will step in front of a street car or something.
So, in my life time of looking at these things...
and being intrested in many other things as well...
Heresies
obscure backwater of art history and literature
Peculiar philosophies, that rose and fell centuries ago in obscure parts of the world
my theory of life's exploration is to run edges
and I have mellowed over the years, that I used say...
If a book isn't a hundered years old you shouldn't read it
If a person isn't is dead you shouldn't woryabout them,
If they wrote in English you shouldn't bother with them,
So forth and so on..
In the course of sorting out, as many peculiar and bizarre possibilities as life could offer me many places
My attitude was always critical...
my attitude was always a Show me attitude.
I don't believe in faith..I don't believe in belief..
My favourite gospel story, is the story of the Apostle Thomas.
Who was not present when Christ came first time, after the resurrection to the upper room.
And then later Thomas came to the apostles and they said "the master has been here"..
Then he said .."you guys have been smoking too much of that red lead"
And then Christ, came again
But in this conversation with the apostle's Thomas said,
Unless, I put my hand in to the wound, I will not believe it.
And then time passed..and then Christ came, again to the upper room
And he said, Thomas, come forward,
put your hand in to the wound.. .
...and he did and he said, "Lord I am not worthy" and so forth and so on..
My conclusion about this story is....
Alone!
among all humanity and all times and places
only one person ever touched the incorporeal body of God....
Thomas, the doubter touched...
Because he doubted!
It was not necessary that the believer's should be vouch saved such a boon,
but the doubter was awarded, the supreme...... Enlightenment!
Okay so much for that..
