…mythology and many cultures have dragon images and they're all associated with chaos and basically they're okay. Suddenly we have saint George killing the dragon, we have saint Michael with his foot on the dragon's throat we have all this energy given to…
…England coming over into Christianity and so on. Now I think it's important that that be undone. I think we want saint George and the dragon getting it on together in a may day celebration where dionysian elements are accepted. I think that it's possible…
…the top down and mathematical modelling of chaos if not exactly in the dominator mould is still, I think within the st George and the dragon archetype. It's the tearing out of st George slaying the dragon. Actually st George Doesn't slay the dragon, he…

…all of us will feel a need for some new vision to stumble into the next millennium. With people like John Major and George bush around is not really going to be very inspiring for many. Many people are going to want a greater inspiration than that,…
…intervention as Terence suggested is possible and may even take place, resulting from meetings like Rio and Amsterdam, where not the George Bushes of the world but the native peoples of the world somehow get together and produce and implement a new idea.…
…voted to separate from Southern California. Canada is falling apart and strangely enough meanwhile at the top in the world of George bush and John Majors there's a feverish enthusiasm for unity, for great trade blocs and wide flung negotiations. This is…
…forget, I want to remind you that when Ralph and Terrence were talking about the fact that our leaders are jackasses, well the George bush they were talking about back then was the father of the current jackass in the white House. Who could have guessed…

…are into science fiction, the science fiction of Cordwainer Smith is really wonderful. And one of his stories, the starship, is George Washington's estate, Mount Vernon in New York. And it's all exactly like Mount Vernon in Washington's time. Except in the…
…It's glued to the tracks which run right over and the cliff. If we cannot alter the assumptions of this society, if the George Bushes and helmut coals of this world are going to continue to run things, then, you know, head for the bunkers, folks, and…
…a magical plant. You don't even have to take it, I mean, just to look at this thing. And some of you may know George O'Keeffe's paintings of these flowers. It's a pure, pure sky blue. That one is called heavenly blue. Then it was hybridized into a…
…The world always has dimensions which exceed the descriptive machinery that you're applying to it. And I don't know who it was, George Bernard Shaw or Nietzsche or some other 19th century bad boy, but it has been said that the essence of intellectual…
…through a process where they got out of their heads and back into their heart and their body. In other words, as George Gurdjieff, a great teacher in the early 20th century, said, he called mankind three brain beings. We have an intellectual brain, an…

…genesis story of Lorenzo. And I hope that those of you who get to see it will enjoy it. I know that Tom and George have really done a wonderful job of making my shady past well actually look quite respectable. And for now, this is Lorenzo signing off…
…that our governments, working in concert, have created a system of worldwide mass surveillance, watching everything we do. Great Britain's George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collection in the book, microphones and…
…give you my sincere apologies for those big files, and I'll do my best to keep that from happening again. And also, George, Jason, and Laura. Hey, please don't think that I've forgotten about you. I'll definitely get back to you eventually. But once…
…the historical experience through this relationship with our machines. I think I said at one of these other meetings that I read George Dyson's book, Darwin among the machines, which, if you're interested in all this, is a great book to read. And the…

…to have people experimenting with psychedelics if all drugs are legalized and that's absolutely terrifying to any establishment. You know marxist George bush you name it anybody who's got a stake in order is appalled at the notion that someone would examine…
…to bring to mind a Muslim who I greatly admire. And there are many examples that I could use. For example, one of George Washington's top officers during the revolutionary war was a Muslim. And it was a Muslim who invented the ice cream cone. And what's…
…great inspiration to me for a long time, George Carlin. If you live outside the states, you probably haven't heard of him, but George was the comedian who picked up Lenny Bruce's banner, and for his entire professional life, he stuck it to the man, as…
…heads who think they're running this show are a bunch of moronic buffoons and that we're on to them. So thanks for the laughs, George. I hope your next adventure is going to be as much fun for you as this one has been. Now, as always, I'll close…
…Madonna is a meme. All ideologies and all short term cultural phenomena are memes. And these memes compete. Whatever happened to boy George? That kind of thing. You know, apparently some go extinct and some. And they can be replicated. I mean, when I tell…
…experienced and knowledgeable about psychedelics back then as you are today. You know, back in 1984, all of a sudden I'm thinking of the George Orwell book too. It's funny to say back in 1984, but in a way doesn't it feel like we are back in 1984?…
…and I had to dig out old maps on my orchard to find. Never happened. It never happened. Well, remember in 1984 in George Orwell's dystopia, the hero or the antihero? The main character, Winston Smith. He worked for the Bureau of Records in the Bureau of…
…transformation in the teachings of Don Juan has been traced, and I'm sure many of you know, this book has been traced to George Macdonald's book, through the gates of the silver key. And George Macdonald was a friend of Evans Vance. So I think what…
