…8 to 9: 30 p m is the one and only Paul Stamets who you've heard on ted talks. I've been to several workshops with Paul and some conferences he's produced and you just don't want to miss that one for sure. Friday August 31st at noon to 1 is Hamilton…

…a half hour later I'll say: well if I wait till tomorrow I'll just go and finish it right now. I think you all know Paul Boll's book or the statement that a puff of Keith makes a man strong as 20 camels in the courtyard. There's something to this.…
…an Omaha? Perhaps the mantra of North America: Om, om, om om, om, om, om, om. Do you have the sound you want, Paul? Yes very good. This particular trilogue is titled saving the world, and I thought it would be interesting to discuss this theme, first…
…or is he talking of the transformation of the entire universe? And you have the same ambiguity in the new testament when saint Paul writes: the whole creation groaneth in travail, the idea of the whole universe groaning in travail for the coming of a new…

…over three years later, and I have to admit that a significant part of my motivation comes from the support of people like max, Paul and Maureen who have pitched in and helped. Another kind of support we are receiving here in the salon has come in the…
…to make this recording. More listenable. And my guess is that this may also have been the first workshop in which Paul Herbert began recording Terrence McKenna. Fortunately, he got really good with recording as time progressed. And like you, I've listened…
…to largest, here's some interesting new publishing relevant to this field. First of all, this book is just out in England by Paul Devereux, the long trip, a prehistory of psychedelica. And it just arrived in Paul's mailbox a couple of days ago and he…
…of days ago and he loaned it to me. It looks to me like basically a history of psychedelic use worldwide before the 1960s. Paul Devereux is better known for writing on earth energies, ley lines and that sort of thing. But this, this seems like a pretty…
…that Terrance mentioned in this talk, two of them I think shouldn't be missed. One is the long a prehistory of psychedelia by Paul Devereux, and the other is in theogens and the future of religion, which was edited by Robert Forte. Both of those books,…
…the last person to ever carry this message into society. I was raised Catholic. I rejected it at age 14. Jean Paul, Jean Janin, Friedrich Nietzsche, these were my gods. And I felt, you know, that moral responsibility, existential honesty, demands that we…
…lost pet stories? How much went to toxic waste stories? How much went to the circuses in town stories? And I said, well, Paul, what is the deal with violence and what's going on? And he said, whoa, it's very simple. We've seen it thousands and thousands…

…the Great Mushroom conference that he organized in 1991 and photos of which are on one of my websites, I think. But in my opinion, Paul is one of the top two or three fungi experts in the whole world, and his TED talk is one of the best of that…
…experts in the whole world, and his TED talk is one of the best of that series. I think. However, several years ago, Paul made kind of a break with the psychedelic community in order to focus better on his work with the government, where they're…
…better on his work with the government, where they're neutralizing toxic waste like mustard gas with some of the mushroom species that Paul has worked with. And so I want to respect his wishes and not link him too tightly to the psychedelic community. Now…
…that isn't easy to do. But in regards to the Amanita muscaria mushroom, what little I know about it actually does come from Paul stamets. I can still remember his hilarious story about an experiment he did with Amanita one time, and I hope that one day…

…snotty email from one of our fellow saloners who pointed out that of the tapes that I played in what I'm now calling the Paul Herbert collection, well, they've all been online in a variety of places for years. But then this person went on to say, and…
…family here. Long ago I was able to determine that the dolphin tapes, the company whose tapes bear a copyright notice from Paul Herbert's company, which was dolphinous, was defunct, out of business, no longer in existence. Which meant, to me at least, that…

…almost impossible to escape them. And the cycle of distribution is very rapid. For example, I think five or six years ago, Paul stamets made the first collection of psilocybin azures, which is a very high psilocybin content. The highest ever measured is in…

…you may want to visit his site at www. Dot al dash qemi.com for a little look around. And from what my friends tell me, Paul is not just another modern alchemist, he is actually a 17th century alchemist. And by the way, if you have a wake and bake…
