…the, what comes to mind is a world that you project where everybody is schizophrenic so that today I can be Napoleon to Mar Jesus and I can meet somebody else who also believes that he is Napoleon, Jesus, Buddha or whatever, and back and forth in time.…
…so that today I can be Napoleon to Mar Jesus and I can meet somebody else who also believes that he is Napoleon, Jesus, Buddha or whatever, and back and forth in time. I'm just wondering what, what kind of a place that's going to be. Well,…
…to denigrate ourselves, to see the world in terms of the great ones, not here, whoever they are. Aristotle, Madonna, Jesus, whatever. Your particular bent is the overcoming of neurosis, of unhappiness, of toxic lifestyles, is the felt presence of immediate…
…so forth and so on. In the Middle Ages, the concept barely existed at all because it was just everybody assumed that Jesus was coming and soon, you know, the historical course would be terminated. It's interesting, you know, the only, like, example we…
…was all I could say for about 20 minutes. I was like in shock. I said, I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Jesus, I can't believe it. You're listening to the psychedelic salon where. People are changing their lives one thought at a time. I hope…
…said of the Reagan administration, this was when James Watt was running around saying we didn't have to save the trees because Jesus was coming anyway, so it didn't matter. And someone said, the jerks want to be in the Bible. And that's precisely the…
…attention, you're having a whole experience of Buddhism and different symbologies, but also just basically your vision of the surrounding Jesus jungle expands and your sense of self diminishes because you. See the larger world. Yeah. From the center of the…
…now. And this is not just blowing smoke in the sense of it's a nice idea, or it's like a religious idea, like saying, Jesus loves you and so feel all right about yourself. It isn't like that. It's a theory about reality that has teeth, because reality…
…reality that has any kind of track record whatsoever. The others just have a story to tell, you know, the Buddha story, the Jesus story, fine stories, but that's all they have is a wrap. The amazing, you see, why is science different? Somebody could just…
…beautiful shot of history's fractal mountain, remember? And now you see it not as Minoan Crete falling to mycenaean piracy with Plato here and Jesus here, and the fall of Rome here. But you see it as 1967 up here and the present down here. This is the…
…interviewed one of my favorite writers, Joe Bagent. If you haven't yet read Joe's classic cultural commentary titled Deer Hunting with Jesus, you owe it to yourself to check it out. In my opinion, Joe Bagent has the intelligence of Howard Zinn, coupled…
…whole harmness, what you discover is this enormous transcendental object, which you could call it, you know, the sacred heart of Jesus or the flying saucer, or the philosopher's stone. It's all of those things and much, much more. It's not only stranger…
…the end of time that we are being pulled into a confrontation with. Call it the other, call it the ancestors, call it Jesus, call it galactarian civilization. It's all, and more than any of these things, and I believe, and I'm fairly alone in this, I…
…if it begins to come apart, you hope it will begin to move along some traditionally sanctioned spiritual arc, you know, toward Jesus or heaven or hell or something identifiable. What happens with DMT is there is an eruption of the unexpected. It seems to…
…they depress you. DMT does none of this. You go to that place with all your groceries. You're there and you're there thinking, Jesus H. Fucking Christ, what is this? What is it? And you're thinking, I must be dead. I've done it this time. The…
…And if anything gets slightly weird, they will rush this explanation forward. And for some people, you know, it's Jesus and for somebody else, it's matrea or somebody. So cultural expectations are inextricably woven into these strange encounter scenarios.…
…six books. It involves a lost planet which comes into the inner solar system every 35,000 years or so, which was responsible for Jesus and for. And it's a whole thing. And people who I, up to that point, had considered sane found it very interesting.…
