…ken Adams. All right so we're gonna get started with Mr Ken Adams here. I just wanted to introduce ken first to you guys. Ken is a mixed media psychedelic artist. He also made a awesome film from what I hear I'm really looking forward to seeing it…

…of way of relating to nature. Because in the heavy ayahuasca using societies, these people are saturated in this stuff. I mean, as Ken says, three times a week. And it's really changing how they look at the world. And they are in empathy, at equilibrium,…

…just try it. And that's the point where we've come to, is to slowly try and create consensus. One of the things that Ken said, quoting the teacher, that is very profound, is that words are alive and that they multiply. And at every recent workshop I've…

…to ask a question? We can talk a little bit about this morning's session. And then I thought, if he's still game, that Ken, who is a regular attendee at these things, he has a sort of interesting fieldwork story to tell that would be inspiring. And…

…each trip of every one of us could be set on a stacker here, and we would just move among the cuts and say, well, here's Ken in the jungle an hour and 20 minutes into his. And here's McKenna five years ago on x, y, and z, and have these things…

…or you aren't caught in the insect mechanics of social games, but instead you really begin to penetrate to the more profound levels. Well, Ken, would you like to tell what you've been up to recently in as much or as little detail as you care to? Ken…

…Well, Ken, would you like to tell what you've been up to recently in as much or as little detail as you care to? Ken is a very sharp guy. He's run a Fortune 500 corporation, speaks excellent Spanish, one thing and another, and. He'S lovable for sure.…

…you know, washed up. And then I sat up, smoked a joint and visions stabilized deep, this DMT thing. And then, as Ken says, this long come down, this long, cerebral, thoughty come down over several hours where you just feel most comfortable and stabilized…

…upon my face it's a shame that I was born 30 years to make I wish I could have been on board the magic bus with Ken and all those merry pranksters. What fun it would have been what I would have given to see old Timothy Mary smile one tripping out…

…Ken Adams brilliant documentary Alien Dream Time. Now, if you've been with me here in the salon for a while, you'll remember Ken from his 2012 and 2013 Palenque Norte Lectures. And in his 2013 lecture, Ken talked about his then recent documentary titled…

…in the salon for a while, you'll remember Ken from his 2012 and 2013 Palenque Norte Lectures. And in his 2013 lecture, Ken talked about his then recent documentary titled the Terrance McKenna Experience, and I'll put a link to it in today's program notes,…

…ways that I think will inspire young video enthusiasts to maybe reach for some new heights. And you should also know that Ken isn't just another McKenna fan. He was Terrance's neighbor for many years and probably knew him as well as anyone outside of…

…a few videos of his rave performances with him, but video recording was much more difficult before the iPhone. However, somehow Ken was able to capture one of Terrance's most spectacular rave performances. Musically, he was backed by Rose X and Stephen Kent…

…I've heard, except for perhaps what you said in the introduction. Art action. It was Tom Wolf's electric Kool aid acid test, Ken Kesey and the others on the bus. It's 10,000 hits of original purple OWSLEY that's buried out near WinnemuccA, 50,000 hits of…

…also unfair to say that it was only Tim Leary who caused the uptight world to come down on the scene. There was also Ken Casey and the merry pranksters who were at large during those days, as were the Grateful Dead and a dozen other bands or more.…

…I figured out what it. Was all about and just exactly where I wanted to push and where I wanted to pull. Many years ago, Ken Kesey had a theory, and he said that the fastest any person reacting to the outside stimuli is 125th of a second. And popular…

…sexual abstinence. It's basically a diet of manioc and certain fish and I don't think many greens. Is that it, Ken? Bananas, plantinos. It's probably analyzed nutritionally. It's probably a serotonin loaded diet because of the large amount of plantinose in…

…morning session of his August 1989 workshop at the Eslin Institute near Big Sur, California. So to sort of truncate all this profanity, Ken will explain what these things are, and then we'll play with them just for a few minutes, and that will settle our…

…for a few minutes, and that will settle our breakfast and settle our minds and to set us up for what is to come. Ken, what can you say about these? This is Ken Symington, the best psychedelic CEO on the west coast. Ex CEO. Well, Terrence is always…

…that was pretty interesting. Where should we go for our hearing test? That's what it sounded like. I had never done it before. Ken told me about it last night. Night? Well, that's pretty interesting. I don't know how many of you have heard it, but when…

…the mind while it's completely processed. Well, or not so much distracting it, but focusing it upon itself, because I noticed, you know, Ken didn't give a lot of instructions, but I immediately closed my eyes, leaned into it, and there seemed to be a set…

…of haves and have nots. What do you think? Well, I'm sure that I'm not the only one here who really enjoyed hearing Ken Symington's voice once again. And it brought back some fond memories of times when along with Matt Palomarie and a few other friends,…

…you've been paying very close attention. But Ken Symington is one of the pivotal figures in the psychedelic community, for it was Ken who was the true heart and soul of the legendary and theobotany conferences that took place in Palenque, Mexico, for a…

…Mexico, for a decade or so. The same conference, in fact, that was mentioned in today's podcast. Now, I could go on about Ken for hours, for days, actually. But for now, I'll just say that in all my years on this planet, I've never encountered a…

…them, saying that we'd learn better if we had to completely focus on the parable while it was being told. Fortunately, though, Ken has relented and taken pen in hand and recorded some of these little gems. The name of the book is hyponomata. Stories,…

…m n e m a t a. But after trying to find a pronunciation guide and a half a dozen online dictionaries, I discovered that Ken not only used a word that's hard to pronounce, it's also not even in most of the big dictionaries, which is pure ken, always…
