[00:00:05 - 00:00:07]	 Hello.
[00:00:07 - 00:00:10]	 [Music]
[00:00:10 - 00:00:16]	 So, that was like an introduction.
[00:00:16 - 00:00:21]	 [Music]
[00:00:21 - 00:00:43]	 Now for some preaching to the choir on the subject of how come it is that the further in you go, the bigger it gets.
[00:00:43 - 00:00:54]	 I remember the very, very first time I smoked DMT.
[00:00:54 - 00:01:01]	 It was sort of a benchmark, you might say.
[00:01:01 - 00:01:22]	 And I remember that this friend of mine who always got there first visited me with this little glass pipe and this stuff which looked like orange mothballs.
[00:01:22 - 00:01:34]	 And since I was a graduate of Dr. Hoffman's, I figured there were no surprises.
[00:01:34 - 00:01:41]	 So the only question I asked was, "How long does it last?"
[00:01:41 - 00:01:46]	 And he said, "About five minutes."
[00:01:46 - 00:01:50]	 So I did it.
[00:01:50 - 00:02:19]	 And there was something like a flower, like a chrysanthemum in orange and yellow that was sort of spinning, spinning.
[00:02:19 - 00:02:39]	 And then it was like I was pushed from behind and I fell through the chrysanthemum into another place that didn't seem like a state of mind.
[00:02:39 - 00:02:44]	 It seemed like another place.
[00:02:44 - 00:03:02]	 And what was going on in this place, aside from the tastefully softened indirect lighting and the crawling geometric hallucinations along the domed walls,
[00:03:02 - 00:03:22]	 what was happening was that there were a lot of beings in there, a lot of what I call self-transforming machine elves,
[00:03:22 - 00:03:32]	 sort of like jeweled basketballs all dribbling their way toward me.
[00:03:32 - 00:03:39]	 And if they'd had faces, they'd have been grinning, but they didn't have faces.
[00:03:39 - 00:03:58]	 And they assured me that they loved me and they told me not to be amazed, not to give way to astonishment.
[00:03:58 - 00:04:10]	 And so I watched them, even though I wondered if maybe I hadn't really done it this time.
[00:04:10 - 00:04:26]	 And what they were doing was they were making objects come into existence by singing them into existence.
[00:04:26 - 00:04:40]	 Objects which looked like Fabergé eggs from Mars, morphing themselves with Mandian alphabetical structures.
[00:04:40 - 00:04:57]	 They looked like the concrescence of linguistic intentionality put through a kind of hyperdimensional transform into three-dimensional space.
[00:04:57 - 00:05:18]	 And these little machines offered themselves to me and I realized when I looked at them that if I could bring just one of these little trinkets back,
[00:05:18 - 00:05:24]	 nothing would ever be quite the same again.
[00:05:24 - 00:05:32]	 And I wondered, where am I? And what is going on?
[00:05:32 - 00:05:50]	 And it occurred to me that these must be holographic viral projections from an autonomous continuum that was somehow intersecting my own.
[00:05:50 - 00:06:10]	 And then I thought a more elegant explanation would be to take it at face value and realize that I had broken into an ecology of souls.
[00:06:10 - 00:06:20]	 And that somehow I was getting a peep over the other side.
[00:06:20 - 00:06:32]	 Somehow I was finding out that thing that you cheerfully assume you can't find out.
[00:06:32 - 00:06:40]	 But it felt like I was finding out and it felt...
[00:06:40 - 00:06:51]	 And then I can't remember what it felt like because the little self-transforming tikes interrupted me and said,
[00:06:51 - 00:07:07]	 "Don't think about it. Don't think about who we are. Think about doing what we're doing. Do it. Do it now. Do it."
[00:07:07 - 00:07:09]	 and
