WEBVTT 02:23.150 --> 03:22.060 visions by rosettes didgeridoo by terence mckenna the archaic revival street is ending the dominator 03:22.060 --> 03:42.800 culture has led the human species into a blind alley chaosstrophy approaches people look for 03:42.800 --> 03:57.600 metaphors and answers every time a culture gets into trouble it casts itself back into the past 03:58.480 --> 04:09.200 looking for the last sane moment it ever knew and the last sane moment we ever knew 04:10.320 --> 04:12.640 was on the plains of 04:12.800 --> 04:32.320 africa 15 000 years ago rocked in the cradle of the great horned mushroom goddess before history 04:33.840 --> 04:40.640 before standing armies before slavery and property 04:41.600 --> 04:42.720 before war 04:42.800 --> 04:55.440 warfare and phonetic alphabets and monotheism before before before and this is where the future 04:55.440 --> 05:10.240 is taking us because the secret faith of the 20th century is not modernism the secret faith of the 05:10.240 --> 05:11.600 20th century 05:12.320 --> 05:25.920 is nostalgia for the archaic nostalgia for the paleolithic and that gives us body piercing 05:26.720 --> 05:39.310 abstract expressionism surrealism jazz rock and roll and catastrophe theory the 20th century mind 05:40.910 --> 05:42.430 is nostalgic 05:43.070 --> 05:50.990 for the paradise that once existed on the mushroom dotted plains of africa 05:52.030 --> 05:57.870 where the plant human symbiosis occurred 05:58.590 --> 06:10.430 that pulled us out of the animal body and into the tool using culture making imagination exploring 06:10.430 --> 06:12.190 creature that we are 06:14.030 --> 06:26.670 and why does this matter it matters because it shows that the way out is back and that the future 06:27.790 --> 06:40.270 is a forward escape into the past this is what the psychedelic experience means it's a doorway out 06:40.270 --> 06:49.730 of history and into the wiring under the board in eternity. 06:51.310 --> 07:00.570 And I tell you this because if the community understands what it is that holds it together, 07:00.570 --> 07:10.270 the community will be better able to streamline itself for flight into hyperspace. 07:10.750 --> 07:15.170 Because what we need is a new myth. 07:16.130 --> 07:25.470 What we need is a new true story that tells us where we're going in the universe. 07:25.470 --> 07:29.470 And that true story is... 07:30.230 --> 07:30.470 That... 07:30.570 --> 07:35.730 That the ego is a product of pathology. 07:36.690 --> 07:46.670 And that when psilocybin is regularly part of the human experience, the ego is suppressed. 07:46.670 --> 07:56.690 And the suppression of the ego means the defeat of the dominators, the materialists, the product peddlers. 07:58.590 --> 08:00.230 Psychedelics return us. 08:00.230 --> 08:00.550 Psychedelics return us. 08:00.550 --> 08:00.570 Psychedelics return us. 08:00.570 --> 08:03.730 To the inner worth of the self. 08:04.230 --> 08:11.110 To the importance of the feeling of immediate experience. 08:12.210 --> 08:14.690 And nobody can sell that to you. 08:14.870 --> 08:18.070 And nobody can buy it from you. 08:18.550 --> 08:27.550 So the dominator culture is not interested in the felt presence of immediate experience. 08:27.550 --> 08:30.550 But that's what holds the community. 08:30.550 --> 08:31.550 But that's what holds the community together. 08:31.550 --> 08:43.570 And as we break out of the silly myths of science and the infantile obsessions of the marketplace, 08:43.570 --> 08:54.370 what we discover through the psychedelic experience is that in the body, in the body, 08:54.370 --> 08:58.770 there are Niagara's of beauty. 08:59.570 --> 09:00.210 Alien. 09:00.210 --> 09:01.210 Beauty. 09:01.210 --> 09:06.950 Alien dimensions that are part of the self. 09:07.730 --> 09:10.110 The richest part of life. 09:10.110 --> 09:18.380 I think of going to the grave without having a psychedelic experience. 09:19.340 --> 09:23.840 Like going to the grave without ever having sex. 09:24.620 --> 09:30.860 It means that you never figured out what it was all about. 09:30.860 --> 09:33.680 It means that you never figured out what it was all about. 09:33.680 --> 09:43.680 The mystery is in the body and the way the body works itself into nature. 09:43.680 --> 10:00.680 What the archaic revival means is shamanism, ecstasy, orgiastic sexuality, and the defeat of the three enemies of the people. 10:00.680 --> 10:06.390 And the three enemies of the people. 10:06.390 --> 10:09.220 And the three enemies of the people. 10:09.220 --> 10:10.220 And the three enemies of the people. 10:10.220 --> 10:11.220 Hegemony, monogamy, and monotony. 10:11.220 --> 10:12.220 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:12.220 --> 10:13.220 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:13.220 --> 10:14.220 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:14.220 --> 10:15.220 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:15.220 --> 10:17.690 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:17.690 --> 10:18.690 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:18.690 --> 10:19.690 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:19.690 --> 10:20.690 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:20.690 --> 10:21.690 And if you get them on the run, you have the dominators sweating, folks. 10:21.690 --> 10:32.330 the dominators sweating, folks, because that means that you're getting it all reconnected. 10:32.330 --> 10:46.560 And getting it all reconnected means putting aside the idea of separateness. So, definition 10:46.560 --> 11:00.500 through thing fetish. Getting it all connected means tapping into the Gaian mind. And the 11:00.500 --> 11:10.780 Gaian mind is what we're calling the psychedelic experience. It's an experience of the living 11:10.780 --> 11:16.540 fact of the intellect of the planet. And without that, we're not going to be able to 11:16.540 --> 11:26.760 live. Without that experience, we wander in a desert of bogus ideologies. But with that 11:26.760 --> 11:39.860 experience, the compass of the self can be set. And that's the idea, that we're figuring 11:39.860 --> 11:46.520 out how to reset the compass of the self through community, through community, through the 11:46.520 --> 11:46.540 community. And that's the idea, that we're figuring out how to reset the compass of the self through community, 11:46.540 --> 11:58.480 through ecstatic dance, through psychedelics, sexuality, intelligence. Intelligence. 11:58.480 --> 15:40.450 This is what we have to have to make the forward escape into hyperspace. Take five here, and 15:40.450 --> 15:48.090 then take an introduction. 15:48.090 --> 16:03.170 Now for some preaching to the choir on the subject of how come it is that the further in you go, 16:03.170 --> 16:16.770 the bigger it gets. I remember the very, very first time I 16:16.770 --> 16:18.270 smoked DMT. 16:18.270 --> 16:47.520 It was sort of a benchmark, you might say, 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. 16:47.520 --> 16:58.540 And since I was a graduate of Dr. Hoffman's, I figured there were no surprises. 16:59.900 --> 17:15.360 So the only question I asked was, how long does it last? And he said, about five minutes. So I did it. 17:15.360 --> 17:45.630 And it was a flower, like a chrysanthemum in orange and yellow that was sort of spinning, spinning. 17:45.630 --> 18:00.940 It was like I was pushed from behind, and I fell through the chrysanthemum into another place. 18:02.480 --> 18:10.840 And it was a place that didn't seem like a state of mind. It seemed like another place. 18:12.200 --> 18:28.520 And what was going on in this place, aside from the tastefully softened indirect lighting, and the crawling geometric hallucinations along the domed walls, 18:28.520 --> 18:31.160 what was happening? 18:32.480 --> 18:40.140 Was that there were a lot of beings in there. 18:40.140 --> 18:58.420 A lot of what I call self-transforming machine elves, sort of like jeweled basketballs, all dribbling their way toward me. 18:58.420 --> 19:02.220 And if they'd had faces, they'd have been grinning. 19:02.480 --> 19:04.480 But they didn't have faces. 19:04.480 --> 19:11.820 And they assured me that they loved me. 19:11.820 --> 19:23.400 And they told me not to be amazed, not to give way to astonishment. 19:23.400 --> 19:33.320 And so I watched them, even though I wondered if maybe I hadn't really done it. 19:33.320 --> 19:36.890 This time. 19:36.890 --> 19:52.670 And what they were doing was they were making objects come into existence by singing them into existence. 19:52.670 --> 20:00.450 Objects which looked like fabricé eggs from Mars. 20:00.450 --> 20:04.570 Morphing themselves with Mandiane alphabetical bells. 20:04.890 --> 20:15.310 structures. They looked like the concrescence of linguistic intentionality put through a 20:15.310 --> 20:27.090 kind of hyperdimensional transform into three-dimensional space. And these little machines offered 20:27.090 --> 20:41.670 themselves to me, and I realized when I looked at them that if I could bring just one of these little 20:41.670 --> 20:56.670 trinkets back, nothing would ever be quite the same again. And I wondered, where am I, and what is going 20:56.670 --> 20:57.070 on? 20:57.430 --> 21:11.390 And it occurred to me that these must be holographic viral projections from an autonomous continuum that was 21:11.390 --> 21:25.550 somehow intersecting my own, and then I thought a more elegant explanation would be to take it at face value 21:26.670 --> 21:27.050 cookie map out meetings. 21:27.090 --> 21:42.870 that I had broken into an ecology of souls and that somehow I was getting a 21:42.870 --> 21:52.830 peep over the other side somehow I was finding out that thing that you 21:52.830 --> 22:03.810 cheerfully assume you can't find out but it felt like I was finding out and it 22:03.810 --> 22:09.610 felt and then I can't remember what it felt like 22:09.610 --> 22:17.910 because the little self transforming tides interrupted me and said don't 22:17.910 --> 22:22.050 think about it don't think about who we are 22:22.050 --> 22:24.510 think about doing 22:24.510 --> 22:39.270 what we're doing. Do it. Do it now. Do it! And what they meant was use your voice to 22:39.270 --> 22:52.970 make an object. And as I understood, I felt a bubble kind of grow inside of me. 22:52.970 --> 23:12.840 And I watched these little elf tykes jumping in and out of my chest. They like to do that to reassure you. 23:13.880 --> 23:24.600 And they said, do it. And I felt language rise up in me that was unhooked from English. 23:24.600 --> 23:29.820 And I began to speak like this. 23:31.420 --> 23:48.140 I heard the sound of an elephant, a lark, fly, and the sound of the bell. 23:48.140 --> 23:50.460 And next, I heard another song. 23:50.460 --> 23:59.380 And this song was supposed to be the sound of birds, not the sound of animals. 23:59.380 --> 24:02.440 That's why I heard it. 24:02.440 --> 24:07.890 Because I was what? 24:07.890 --> 24:08.330 Lana? 24:08.330 --> 24:08.910 Lana. 24:08.910 --> 24:09.270 Lana. 24:09.270 --> 24:09.630 Lana. 24:09.630 --> 24:09.950 Lana. 24:09.950 --> 24:10.110 Lana. 24:10.110 --> 24:10.430 Lana. 24:10.430 --> 24:10.550 Lana. 24:10.550 --> 24:10.610 Lana. 24:10.630 --> 24:35.440 or words to that effect wondered then what it all meant and why it felt so good 24:35.440 --> 24:46.150 if it didn't mean anything and i thought about it a few years actually 24:46.150 --> 24:56.750 and i decided you know that meaning and language are two different things 24:56.750 --> 25:05.810 and that what the alien voice in the psychedelic experience wants to reveal 25:05.810 --> 25:15.890 is the syntactical nature of reality that the real secret of 25:15.890 --> 25:16.130 man's 25:16.150 --> 25:23.130 magic is that the world is made of words 25:23.130 --> 25:35.150 and that if you know the words that the world is made of you can make of it whatever you wish 25:57.000 --> 26:19.020 and one of the things that i learned about dmt 26:19.020 --> 26:28.620 was that if you've ever had it even just once then 26:29.180 --> 26:39.300 you can have a dream and in this dream somebody will pull out a little glass pipe 26:39.300 --> 26:53.100 and then it will happen it will happen just like the real thing because there's a button 26:53.100 --> 26:58.060 somewhere inside each and every one of us 26:59.180 --> 27:04.180 gives you a look into the other side 27:04.180 --> 27:11.240 and that's the button that resets the compass 27:11.240 --> 27:17.540 that tells you where you want to sail 27:17.540 --> 27:22.550 good luck 27:22.550 --> 38:02.340 has a name for it except some people call it 38:02.340 --> 38:09.210 or some people say things are really weird 38:09.370 --> 38:10.310 recently 38:10.310 --> 38:18.280 and i think we never notice it and we never talk about it 38:18.280 --> 38:27.960 because we're embedded in a culture that expects us to believe that all times are the same 38:27.960 --> 38:35.890 and that your bank account doesn't fluctuate 38:35.890 --> 38:40.810 except according to the vicissitudes of your own existence 38:40.810 --> 38:44.720 in other words 38:44.720 --> 38:46.380 every moment of your life is a moment of your life 38:46.380 --> 38:46.440 every moment of your life is a moment of your life 38:46.440 --> 38:46.520 every moment of your life is a moment of your life 38:46.540 --> 38:48.860 every moment is expected to be the same 38:48.860 --> 38:52.340 and yet this isn't what we experience 38:52.340 --> 38:56.300 and so what i noticed was 38:56.300 --> 39:00.360 that running through reality 39:00.360 --> 39:04.760 is the ebb and flow of novelty 39:04.760 --> 39:10.110 and some days and some years and some centuries 39:10.110 --> 39:12.850 are very novel indeed 39:12.850 --> 39:14.830 and some ain't 39:14.830 --> 39:17.210 and they come and go 39:17.210 --> 39:17.750 on all the different levels of reality 39:17.750 --> 39:20.350 all scales differently 39:20.350 --> 39:24.350 interweaving resonantly 39:24.350 --> 39:30.570 and this is what time seems to be 39:30.570 --> 39:35.430 and science has overlooked this 39:35.430 --> 39:41.410 this most salient of facts about nature 39:41.410 --> 39:47.650 that nature is a novelty conserving 39:47.650 --> 39:50.250 that nature is an engine 39:50.250 --> 39:54.250 and that from the very first moments 39:54.250 --> 40:00.250 of that most improbable big bang 40:00.250 --> 40:05.220 novelty has been conserved 40:05.220 --> 40:09.820 because in the very beginning 40:09.820 --> 40:13.620 there was only an ocean of energy 40:13.620 --> 40:15.820 pouring into the universe 40:15.820 --> 40:17.820 there were no planets 40:17.820 --> 40:18.860 no stars 40:18.860 --> 40:20.660 no molecules 40:20.660 --> 40:22.160 no atoms 40:22.160 --> 40:24.760 no magnetic fields 40:24.760 --> 40:30.460 there was only an ocean of free electrons 40:30.460 --> 40:34.160 and then time passed 40:34.160 --> 40:38.930 and the universe cooled 40:38.930 --> 40:43.330 novel structures crystallized 40:43.330 --> 40:46.330 out of disorder 40:46.330 --> 40:51.750 first atoms of hydrogen 40:52.150 --> 40:54.150 and helium 40:54.150 --> 40:59.150 aggregating into stars 40:59.150 --> 41:02.150 and at the center of those stars 41:02.150 --> 41:05.150 the temperature and the pressure 41:05.150 --> 41:09.150 created something which had never been seen before 41:09.150 --> 41:11.150 which was fusion 41:11.150 --> 41:16.150 and fusion hooking in the hearts of stars 41:16.150 --> 41:19.150 brought forth more novelty 41:19.150 --> 41:21.950 heavy elements iron carbon 41:22.150 --> 41:24.150 four valent carbon 41:24.150 --> 41:27.150 and as time passed 41:27.150 --> 41:32.780 there were not only then elemental systems 41:32.780 --> 41:35.780 but because of the presence of carbon 41:35.780 --> 41:38.780 and the lower temperatures in the universe 41:38.780 --> 41:40.780 molecular structures 41:40.780 --> 41:43.780 and out of molecules 41:43.780 --> 41:50.780 come simple subsets of organisms 41:50.780 --> 41:53.580 the genetic machinery for transformation 41:53.580 --> 41:56.580 transcripting information 41:56.580 --> 41:59.580 aggregating into membranes 41:59.580 --> 42:03.580 always binding novelty 42:03.580 --> 42:07.580 always condensing time 42:07.580 --> 42:11.580 always building and conserving 42:11.580 --> 42:14.580 upon complexity 42:14.580 --> 42:20.580 and always faster and faster and faster 42:20.580 --> 42:22.580 and then 42:23.580 --> 42:26.580 we come to ourselves 42:26.580 --> 42:31.580 and where do we fit into all of this 42:31.580 --> 42:34.580 five million years ago 42:34.580 --> 42:38.580 we were an animal of some sort 42:38.580 --> 42:43.580 where will we be five million years from tonight 42:43.580 --> 42:47.580 what we represent 42:47.580 --> 42:50.580 is not a sideshow 42:50.580 --> 42:53.580 or an epiphenomenon 42:53.580 --> 42:57.580 or an ancillary something or other 42:57.580 --> 43:00.580 on the edge of nowhere 43:00.580 --> 43:03.580 what we represent 43:03.580 --> 43:08.580 is the nexus of concrescent novelty 43:08.580 --> 43:13.580 that has been moving itself together 43:13.580 --> 43:15.580 complexifying itself 43:15.580 --> 43:18.580 folding itself in upon itself 43:18.580 --> 43:22.580 for billions and billions of years 43:22.580 --> 43:25.580 there is so far as we know 43:25.580 --> 43:27.580 nothing more advanced 43:27.580 --> 43:30.580 than what is sitting behind your eyes 43:30.580 --> 43:33.580 the human neocortex 43:33.580 --> 43:35.580 is the most densely ramified 43:35.580 --> 43:37.580 and complexified structure 43:37.580 --> 43:39.580 in the known universe 43:39.580 --> 43:43.580 we are the cutting edge 43:43.580 --> 43:46.580 of organismic transformation of matter 43:46.580 --> 43:49.580 in this cosmos 43:49.580 --> 43:50.580 and 43:50.580 --> 43:52.580 this has been going on 43:52.580 --> 43:54.580 for a while 43:54.580 --> 43:58.580 since the discovery of fire 43:58.580 --> 44:04.580 since the discovery of language 44:04.580 --> 44:05.580 but now 44:05.580 --> 44:07.580 and by now 44:07.580 --> 44:11.580 I mean for the last ten thousand years 44:11.580 --> 44:16.580 we've been into something new 44:16.580 --> 44:19.580 not genetic information 44:19.580 --> 44:22.580 not genetic mutation 44:22.580 --> 44:24.580 not natural selection 44:24.580 --> 44:27.580 but epigenetic activity 44:27.580 --> 44:28.580 writing 44:28.580 --> 44:29.580 theatre 44:29.580 --> 44:30.580 poetry 44:30.580 --> 44:31.580 dance 44:31.580 --> 44:32.580 art 44:32.580 --> 44:33.580 tattooing 44:33.580 --> 44:34.580 body piercing 44:34.580 --> 44:35.580 and philosophy 44:35.580 --> 44:37.580 and these things 44:37.580 --> 44:40.580 have accelerated 44:40.580 --> 44:43.580 the aggression into novelty 44:43.580 --> 44:45.580 so that we have become 44:45.580 --> 44:48.580 an idea excreting force 44:48.580 --> 44:50.580 in nature 44:50.580 --> 44:53.580 that builds temples 44:53.580 --> 44:54.580 builds cities 44:54.580 --> 44:56.580 builds machines 44:56.580 --> 44:57.580 social engines 44:57.580 --> 44:58.580 plans 44:58.580 --> 45:01.580 and spreads over the earth 45:01.580 --> 45:02.580 into space 45:02.580 --> 45:05.580 into the micro-physical domain 45:05.580 --> 45:08.580 into the macro-physical domain 45:08.580 --> 45:11.580 we who five million years ago 45:11.580 --> 45:13.580 were animals 45:13.580 --> 45:16.580 can kindle in our deserts 45:16.580 --> 45:19.580 and if necessary upon the cities of our enemies 45:19.580 --> 45:21.580 the very energy 45:21.580 --> 45:25.580 which lights the stars at night 45:25.580 --> 45:26.580 now 45:26.580 --> 45:28.580 something peculiar 45:28.580 --> 45:30.580 is going on here 45:30.580 --> 45:33.580 something is calling us 45:33.580 --> 45:36.580 out of nature 45:36.580 --> 45:38.580 and sculpting us 45:38.580 --> 45:41.580 in its own image 45:41.580 --> 45:44.580 and the confrontation 45:44.580 --> 45:46.580 with this something 45:46.580 --> 45:47.580 is now 45:47.580 --> 45:49.580 not so far away 45:49.580 --> 45:51.580 this is what 45:51.580 --> 45:52.580 the impending 45:52.580 --> 45:55.580 apparent end of everything 45:55.580 --> 45:57.580 actually means 45:57.580 --> 45:58.580 it means 45:58.580 --> 45:59.580 that 45:59.580 --> 46:00.580 the denouement 46:00.580 --> 46:02.580 of human history 46:02.580 --> 46:04.580 is about to occur 46:04.580 --> 46:07.580 and is about to be revealed 46:07.580 --> 46:10.580 as a universal process 46:10.580 --> 46:12.580 of compressing 46:12.580 --> 46:14.580 and expressing novelty 46:14.580 --> 46:16.580 that is now going to become 46:16.580 --> 46:18.580 so intensified 46:18.580 --> 46:22.580 that it is going to flow over 46:22.580 --> 46:25.580 into another dimension 46:25.580 --> 46:35.810 you can feel it 46:35.810 --> 46:42.820 you can feel it in your own dreams 46:42.820 --> 46:46.820 you can feel it in your own trips 46:46.820 --> 46:48.820 you can feel 46:48.820 --> 46:51.820 that we're approaching 46:51.820 --> 46:54.820 the cusp of a catastrophe 46:54.820 --> 46:57.820 and that beyond that cusp 46:57.820 --> 47:00.820 we are unrecognizable 47:00.820 --> 47:02.820 to ourselves 47:02.820 --> 47:05.820 the wave of novelty 47:05.820 --> 47:07.820 that has rolled unbroken 47:07.820 --> 47:10.820 since the birth of the universe 47:10.820 --> 47:12.820 has now focused 47:12.820 --> 47:14.820 and coalesced itself 47:14.820 --> 47:17.820 in our species 47:17.820 --> 47:20.820 and if it seems unlikely to you 47:20.820 --> 47:22.820 that the world 47:22.820 --> 47:25.820 is about to transform itself 47:25.820 --> 47:27.820 then think of it this way 47:27.820 --> 47:30.820 think of a pond 47:30.820 --> 47:32.820 and think of how 47:32.820 --> 47:35.820 if the surface of the pond 47:35.820 --> 47:37.820 begins to boil 47:37.820 --> 47:39.820 that's the signal 47:39.820 --> 47:41.820 that some enormous 47:41.820 --> 47:43.820 protean form 47:43.820 --> 47:44.820 is about to break 47:44.820 --> 47:46.820 the surface of the pond 47:46.820 --> 47:48.820 and reveal itself 47:48.820 --> 47:50.820 human history 47:50.820 --> 47:52.820 is 47:52.820 --> 47:53.820 the boiling 47:53.820 --> 47:55.820 of the pond surface 47:55.820 --> 47:56.820 of ordinary biome 47:56.820 --> 47:58.820 of ordinary biology 47:58.820 --> 48:00.820 we are flesh 48:00.820 --> 48:02.820 which has been caught 48:02.820 --> 48:03.820 in the grip 48:03.820 --> 48:05.820 of some kind of an attractor 48:05.820 --> 48:07.820 that lies ahead of us 48:07.820 --> 48:09.820 in time 48:09.820 --> 48:11.820 and that is sculpting us 48:11.820 --> 48:13.820 to its ends 48:13.820 --> 48:14.820 speaking to us 48:14.820 --> 48:16.820 through psychedelics 48:16.820 --> 48:18.820 through visions 48:18.820 --> 48:20.820 through culture 48:20.820 --> 48:22.820 and technology 48:22.820 --> 48:23.820 consciousness 48:23.820 --> 48:25.820 the language forming capacity 48:25.820 --> 48:27.820 in our species 48:27.820 --> 48:29.820 is propelling itself 48:29.820 --> 48:30.820 forward 48:30.820 --> 48:31.820 as though 48:31.820 --> 48:32.820 it were going to 48:32.820 --> 48:33.820 shed 48:33.820 --> 48:34.820 the monkey body 48:34.820 --> 48:35.820 and leap 48:35.820 --> 48:37.820 into some 48:37.820 --> 48:39.820 extra surreal space 48:39.820 --> 48:41.820 that surrounds us 48:41.820 --> 48:42.820 but that we cannot 48:42.820 --> 48:44.820 currently see 48:44.820 --> 48:45.820 even the people 48:45.820 --> 48:47.820 who run the planet 48:47.820 --> 48:48.820 the world bank 48:48.820 --> 48:49.820 the IMF 48:49.820 --> 48:50.820 you name it 48:50.820 --> 48:51.820 they know 48:51.820 --> 48:54.820 that the history is ending 48:54.820 --> 48:55.820 they know 48:55.820 --> 48:56.820 by the reports 48:56.820 --> 48:58.820 which cross their desks 48:58.820 --> 48:59.820 that what 48:59.820 --> 49:00.820 the 49:00.820 --> 49:01.820 disappearance 49:01.820 --> 49:02.820 of the ozone hole 49:02.820 --> 49:03.820 the toxification 49:03.820 --> 49:04.820 of the ocean 49:04.820 --> 49:05.820 the clearing 49:05.820 --> 49:06.820 of the rain forest 49:06.820 --> 49:08.820 what this means is 49:08.820 --> 49:09.820 that the womb 49:09.820 --> 49:11.820 of the planet 49:11.820 --> 49:12.820 has reached 49:12.820 --> 49:14.820 its finite limits 49:14.820 --> 49:16.820 and that the human species 49:16.820 --> 49:19.820 has now 49:19.820 --> 49:21.820 without choice 49:21.820 --> 49:23.820 begun the descent 49:23.820 --> 49:24.820 down 49:24.820 --> 49:26.820 the birth canal 49:26.820 --> 49:27.820 of collective 49:27.820 --> 49:29.820 transformation 49:29.820 --> 49:30.820 toward 49:30.820 --> 49:31.820 something 49:31.820 --> 49:32.820 right around 49:32.820 --> 49:33.820 the corner 49:33.820 --> 49:34.820 and 49:34.820 --> 49:35.820 nearly 49:35.820 --> 49:37.820 completely 49:37.820 --> 49:39.820 unimaginable 49:39.820 --> 49:40.820 and this is where 49:40.820 --> 49:42.820 the psychedelic shaman 49:42.820 --> 49:43.820 comes in 49:43.820 --> 49:45.820 because I believe 49:45.820 --> 49:46.820 that what we really 49:46.820 --> 49:47.820 contact 49:47.820 --> 49:49.820 through psychedelics 49:49.820 --> 49:51.820 is a kind of 49:51.820 --> 49:52.820 hyperspace 49:52.820 --> 49:53.820 and from that 49:53.820 --> 49:54.820 hyperspace 49:54.820 --> 49:56.820 we look down 49:56.820 --> 49:57.820 on 49:57.820 --> 50:02.610 we look down 50:02.610 --> 50:03.610 on 50:03.610 --> 50:04.610 both the past 50:04.610 --> 50:06.610 and the future 50:06.610 --> 50:07.610 and we anticipate 50:07.610 --> 50:08.610 the end 50:08.610 --> 50:09.610 and a shaman 50:09.610 --> 50:10.610 is someone 50:10.610 --> 50:11.610 who has 50:11.610 --> 50:12.610 seen 50:12.610 --> 50:13.610 the end 50:13.610 --> 50:14.610 and therefore 50:14.610 --> 50:15.610 is a trickster 50:15.610 --> 50:17.610 because you don't worry 50:17.610 --> 50:18.610 if you've seen 50:18.610 --> 50:19.610 the end 50:19.610 --> 50:20.610 if you know how 50:20.610 --> 50:21.610 it comes out 50:21.610 --> 50:22.610 you go back 50:22.610 --> 50:23.610 and you take 50:23.610 --> 50:24.610 your place 50:24.610 --> 50:25.610 in the play 50:25.610 --> 50:26.610 and you let it all 50:26.610 --> 50:27.610 roll away 50:27.610 --> 50:28.610 and you roll on 50:28.610 --> 50:30.610 without anxiety 50:30.610 --> 50:31.610 this is what 50:31.610 --> 50:32.610 boundary dissolution 50:32.610 --> 50:33.610 means 50:33.610 --> 50:34.610 it means 50:34.610 --> 50:35.610 nothing less 50:35.610 --> 50:37.610 than the anticipation 50:37.610 --> 50:38.610 of the end state 50:38.610 --> 50:40.610 of human history 50:40.610 --> 50:41.610 a return 50:41.610 --> 50:43.610 to the archaic mode 50:43.610 --> 50:45.610 a rediscovery 50:45.610 --> 50:46.610 of the orgiastic 50:46.610 --> 50:47.610 freedom 50:47.610 --> 50:48.610 of the African 50:48.610 --> 50:49.610 grasslands 50:49.610 --> 50:51.610 of 20,000 years ago 50:51.610 --> 50:53.610 a techno-escape 50:53.610 --> 50:54.610 forward 50:54.610 --> 50:55.610 into a future 50:55.610 --> 50:56.610 that looks 50:56.610 --> 50:57.610 like the past 50:57.610 --> 50:58.610 than the future 50:58.610 --> 50:59.610 because 50:59.610 --> 51:00.610 materialism 51:00.610 --> 51:01.610 consumerism 51:01.610 --> 51:02.610 product fetishisms 51:02.610 --> 51:03.610 all of these things 51:03.610 --> 51:04.610 will be eliminated 51:04.610 --> 51:05.610 and technology 51:05.610 --> 51:06.610 will become 51:06.610 --> 51:07.610 nano-technology 51:07.610 --> 51:08.610 and disappear 51:08.610 --> 51:09.610 from our 51:09.610 --> 51:10.610 physical presence 51:10.610 --> 51:11.610 if 51:11.610 --> 51:12.610 if 51:12.610 --> 51:13.610 we have 51:13.610 --> 51:14.610 the dream 51:14.610 --> 51:15.610 if we allow 51:15.610 --> 51:16.610 the wave 51:16.610 --> 51:17.610 of novelty 51:17.610 --> 51:18.610 to propel 51:18.610 --> 51:19.610 us 51:19.610 --> 51:20.610 toward 51:20.610 --> 51:21.610 the creativity 51:21.610 --> 51:22.610 that is 51:22.610 --> 51:23.610 in 51:23.610 --> 51:24.610 our 51:24.610 --> 51:25.610 minds 51:25.610 --> 51:26.610 and in 51:26.610 --> 51:27.610 our 51:27.610 --> 51:28.610 minds 51:28.610 --> 51:29.610 we can 51:29.610 --> 51:30.610 create 51:30.610 --> 51:31.610 the 51:31.610 --> 51:32.610 world 51:32.610 --> 51:33.610 and 51:33.610 --> 51:34.610 in 51:34.610 --> 51:35.610 our 51:35.610 --> 51:36.610 lives 51:36.610 --> 51:37.610 without 51:37.610 --> 51:40.610 the 51:40.610 --> 51:41.610 need 51:41.610 --> 51:42.610 of 51:42.610 --> 51:43.610 science 51:43.610 --> 51:44.610 and 51:44.610 --> 51:45.610 technology 51:45.610 --> 51:46.450 and 51:46.450 --> 51:47.610 technology 51:47.610 --> 51:48.610 it makes 51:48.610 --> 51:49.290 the 51:49.290 --> 51:49.810 world 51:49.810 --> 51:50.610 a better 51:50.610 --> 51:51.610 place 51:51.610 --> 51:52.610 for 51:52.610 --> 51:53.610 further 51:53.610 --> 51:54.610 evolution 51:54.610 --> 51:55.610 and 51:55.610 --> 51:56.610 I 51:56.610 --> 52:00.870 is to go back to the agents that created language 52:00.870 --> 52:02.910 in the very first place. 52:02.910 --> 52:08.310 And that means the psychedelic plants, the Gaian Logos, 52:08.310 --> 52:13.850 and the mysterious, beckoning extraterrestrial minds beyond, 52:13.850 --> 52:18.370 hooking ourselves back up into the chakras 52:18.370 --> 52:22.850 of the hierarchy of nature, turning ourselves over 52:22.850 --> 52:25.830 to the mind of the total other that 52:25.830 --> 52:31.170 created us and brought us forth out of animal organization. 52:31.170 --> 52:36.330 We are somehow part of the planetary destiny. 52:36.330 --> 52:41.330 How well we do determines how well the experiment of life 52:41.330 --> 52:46.030 on Earth does, because we have become the cutting 52:46.030 --> 52:48.550 edge of that experiment. 52:48.550 --> 52:54.610 We define it, and we hold in our hands the power 52:54.610 --> 52:55.710 to make order. 52:55.830 --> 53:16.270 to break it. It's not a dress rehearsal for the apocalypse. This is not a pseudo-millennium. 53:16.270 --> 53:25.890 This is the real thing, folks. This is not a test. This is the last chance before things 53:25.890 --> 53:34.050 become so dissipated that there is no chance for cohesiveness. We can use the calendar 53:34.050 --> 53:43.290 as a club. We can make the millennium an occasion for establishing an authentic human civilization, 53:43.290 --> 53:50.690 overcoming the dominator paradigm, dissolving boundaries through psychedelics, recreating 53:50.690 --> 54:05.460 a sexuality not based on monotheism, monogamy and monotony. All these things are possible. 54:05.460 --> 54:06.460 If 54:06.460 --> 54:13.600 we can understand the overarching metaphor which holds it all together, which is the 54:13.600 --> 54:22.460 celebration of mind as play, the celebration of love as a genuine social value in the community, 54:22.460 --> 54:30.760 this is what they have suppressed so long. This is why they are so afraid of the psychedelics, 54:30.760 --> 54:36.440 because they understand that once you touch the inner core of your own and someone else's 54:36.460 --> 54:44.940 being, you can't be led into thing fetishism and consumerism. The message of psychedelics 54:44.940 --> 54:53.400 is that culture can be re-engineered as a set of emotional values rather than products. 54:53.400 --> 55:01.340 This is terrifying news, and if we are able to make this point, then we can pull back. 55:01.340 --> 55:02.340 We can pull back, and we can transcend. Nine times, so many times, we're going to be able 55:02.340 --> 55:03.340 to come to this point. We can pull back, and we can transcend. Nine times, we're going 55:03.340 --> 55:04.380 to transcend. Nine times, we're going to fall back. Nine times, we're going to transcend. 55:04.380 --> 55:05.300 It's a big moment, and it's a big moment to move forward. Because they're looking at a culture 55:05.300 --> 55:06.300 they're looking at. They're looking at a culture of lack. And it's like, this is a great place. I'm going 55:06.300 --> 55:21.900 Sometimes in the last million years, the ice has ground south from the poles, pushing human populations ahead of it. And those people didn't fuck up. Why should we then? 55:21.900 --> 55:43.420 We are all survivors. We are the inheritors of a million years of striving for the unspeakable. And now, with the engines of technology in our hands, we ought to be able to reach out and actually exteriorize the human soul at the end of time. 55:43.420 --> 55:51.880 Invoke it into existence like a UFO and open the violet doorway into hyperspace. 55:51.900 --> 56:11.220 And walk through it, out of profane history, and into the world beyond the grave, beyond shamanism, beyond the end of history, into the galactic millennium that has beckoned to us for millions of years across space and time. 56:11.220 --> 56:21.880 This is the moment. A planet brings forth an opportunity like this only once in its lifetime. And we are ready. 56:21.900 --> 56:35.780 And we are poised. And as a community, we are ready to move into it, to claim it, to make it our own. It's there. Go for it. And thank you.
