[00:01:58 - 00:01:58]	 All right.
[00:01:58 - 00:02:12]	 Tonight, for your edification and amusement, three raves,
[00:02:12 - 00:02:16]	 two interregnums.
[00:02:16 - 00:02:18]	 Visions by Rosette.
[00:02:23 - 00:02:28]	 Didgeridoo, Stephen Kent.
[00:02:28 - 00:02:36]	 And sound by Space Time.
[00:02:36 - 00:02:45]	 Words and ideas by Terrence McKenna.
[00:02:52 - 00:02:56]	 Rap One, The Archaic Revival.
[00:02:56 - 00:03:17]	 History is ending because the dominator culture has
[00:03:17 - 00:03:22]	 led the human species into a blind alley.
[00:03:22 - 00:03:35]	 And as the inevitable chaostrophy approaches,
[00:03:35 - 00:03:42]	 people look for metaphors and answers.
[00:03:42 - 00:03:47]	 Every time a culture gets into trouble,
[00:03:47 - 00:03:52]	 it casts itself back into the past,
[00:03:52 - 00:03:59]	 looking for the last sane moment it ever knew.
[00:03:59 - 00:04:04]	 And the last sane moment we ever knew
[00:04:04 - 00:04:16]	 was on the plains of Africa 15,000 years ago,
[00:04:16 - 00:04:23]	 rocked in the cradle of the great horned mushroom
[00:04:23 - 00:04:30]	 goddess before history, before standing armies,
[00:04:30 - 00:04:37]	 before slavery and property, before warfare
[00:04:37 - 00:04:44]	 and phonetic alphabets and monotheism, before, before,
[00:04:44 - 00:04:46]	 before.
[00:04:46 - 00:04:51]	 And this is where the future is taking us,
[00:04:51 - 00:04:58]	 because the secret faith of the 20th century
[00:04:58 - 00:05:01]	 is not modernism.
[00:05:01 - 00:05:06]	 The secret faith of the 20th century
[00:05:06 - 00:05:15]	 is nostalgia for the archaic, nostalgia for the paleolithic.
[00:05:15 - 00:05:23]	 And that gives us body piercing, abstract expressionism,
[00:05:23 - 00:05:30]	 surrealism, jazz, rock and roll, and catastrophe theory.
[00:05:30 - 00:05:39]	 The 20th century mind is nostalgic for the paradise
[00:05:39 - 00:05:45]	 that once existed on the mushroom dotted plains of Africa,
[00:05:45 - 00:05:53]	 where the plant-human symbiosis occurred that pulled
[00:05:53 - 00:06:00]	 us out of the animal body and into the tool-using, culture
[00:06:00 - 00:06:07]	 making, imagination exploring creature that we are.
[00:06:07 - 00:06:10]	 And why does this matter?
[00:06:10 - 00:06:18]	 It matters because it shows that the way out is back,
[00:06:18 - 00:06:26]	 and that the future is a forward escape into the past.
[00:06:26 - 00:06:31]	 This is what the psychedelic experience means.
[00:06:31 - 00:06:40]	 It's a doorway out of history and into the wiring
[00:06:40 - 00:06:45]	 under the board in eternity.
[00:06:45 - 00:06:51]	 And I tell you this because if the community understands
[00:06:51 - 00:06:55]	 what it is that holds it together,
[00:06:55 - 00:07:00]	 the community will be better able to streamline itself
[00:07:00 - 00:07:05]	 for flight into hyperspace.
[00:07:05 - 00:07:09]	 Because what we need is a new myth.
[00:07:09 - 00:07:16]	 What we need is a new true story that tells us where we're
[00:07:16 - 00:07:20]	 going in the universe.
[00:07:20 - 00:07:30]	 And that true story is that the ego is a product of pathology,
[00:07:30 - 00:07:34]	 and that when psilocybin is regularly
[00:07:34 - 00:07:41]	 part of the human experience, the ego is suppressed.
[00:07:41 - 00:07:43]	 And the suppression of the ego means
[00:07:43 - 00:07:48]	 the defeat of the dominators, the materialists,
[00:07:48 - 00:07:52]	 the product peddlers.
[00:07:52 - 00:07:58]	 Psychedelics return us to the inner worth of the self,
[00:07:58 - 00:08:06]	 to the importance of the feeling of immediate experience.
[00:08:06 - 00:08:12]	 And nobody can sell that to you, and nobody can buy it from you.
[00:08:12 - 00:08:19]	 So the dominator culture is not interested in the felt presence
[00:08:19 - 00:08:22]	 of immediate experience.
[00:08:22 - 00:08:26]	 But that's what holds the community together.
[00:08:26 - 00:08:32]	 And as we break out of the silly myths of science
[00:08:32 - 00:08:38]	 and the infantile obsessions of the marketplace, what
[00:08:38 - 00:08:43]	 we discover through the psychedelic experience
[00:08:43 - 00:08:48]	 is that in the body, in the body,
[00:08:48 - 00:08:57]	 there are Niagara's of beauty, alien beauty, alien dimensions
[00:08:57 - 00:09:06]	 that are part of the self, the richest part of life.
[00:09:06 - 00:09:09]	 I think of going to the grave without having
[00:09:09 - 00:09:15]	 a psychedelic experience like going to the grave
[00:09:15 - 00:09:18]	 without ever having sex.
[00:09:18 - 00:09:24]	 It means that you never figured out what it was all about.
[00:09:24 - 00:09:34]	 The mystery is in the body, and the way of the body
[00:09:34 - 00:09:39]	 works itself into nature.
[00:09:39 - 00:09:46]	 What the archaic revival means is shamanism, ecstasy,
[00:09:46 - 00:09:52]	 orgiastic sexuality, and the defeat of the three
[00:09:52 - 00:09:54]	 enemies of the people.
[00:09:54 - 00:10:02]	 And the three enemies of the people
[00:10:02 - 00:10:10]	 are hegemony, monogamy, and monotony.
[00:10:10 - 00:10:17]	 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating,
[00:10:17 - 00:10:22]	 folks, because that means that you're
[00:10:22 - 00:10:27]	 getting it all reconnected.
[00:10:27 - 00:10:31]	 And getting it all reconnected means
[00:10:31 - 00:10:39]	 putting aside the idea of separateness and self
[00:10:39 - 00:10:44]	 definition through thing fetish.
[00:10:44 - 00:10:53]	 Getting it all connected means tapping into the Gaian mind.
[00:10:53 - 00:10:58]	 And the Gaian mind is what we're calling
[00:10:58 - 00:11:01]	 the psychedelic experience.
[00:11:01 - 00:11:06]	 It's an experience of the living fact of the intellect
[00:11:06 - 00:11:10]	 and the reality of the planet.
[00:11:10 - 00:11:14]	 And without that experience, we wander
[00:11:14 - 00:11:19]	 in a desert of bogus ideologies.
[00:11:19 - 00:11:28]	 But with that experience, the compass of the self
[00:11:28 - 00:11:31]	 can be set.
[00:11:31 - 00:11:35]	 And that's the idea, that we're figuring out
[00:11:35 - 00:11:41]	 how to set the compass of the self through community,
[00:11:41 - 00:11:48]	 through ecstatic dance, through psychedelics, sexuality,
[00:11:48 - 00:11:52]	 intelligence, intelligence.
[00:11:52 - 00:11:58]	 This is what we have to have to make the forward escape
[00:11:58 - 00:12:00]	 into hyperspace.
