McKenna:

Ah - you know,

We cannot evolve faster then we evolve our language.

Our language is like the collective skin of our culture.

So, you know,

Until you say the words - Self Transforming Elf machines from hyperspace -

Then there aren't such things.

Once you say it!

It has gained a certain kind of ontological currency.

Once you say it!

Self Transforming Elf machines from hyperspace.

Say it!

Self Transforming Elf machines from hyperspace.

Self transforming Elf machines from hyper--------space.

No one of us, I think can imagine that history could go on for

another 1000 years. i mean what would it look like?

At the current rate of population growth, spread of epidemic disease,

rate of invention, connectivity, depletion of resources, the atmosphere -

it is impossible to conceive of another 1000 years of human history -

history then is ending...

History is a kind of gestation process. Its a kind of metamorphosis

- its an episode! -

in the life of a species.

If you think of the simple example of metamorphosis -

that of caterpillar to butterfly. We all know that there is this

intermediate resting stage, where the caterpillar is for all

practical purposes - enzymatically dissolved - and then reconstituted

- as an entirely different kind of organism.

With different physical structures, different eyes, different legs,

a different way of breathing, with wings where no wings were before -

with a different kind of feeding apparatus - where no wings were before....

This is what's happening to us.

History is a process of metamorphosis.

It's a putation stage.

It begins with naked monkeys -

and it ends - with a human machine planet girdling interface,

capable of releasing the energies that light the stars.

It's a gestation process.

Where one form of life is being changed into another.

Well - its a period of high risk. Its like what a butterfly is doing

in a cocoon - or what is happening to a child in the womb.

Its a gestation process - where one form of life is being changed into another.

Its a gestation process - where one form of life is being changed into another.

With wings where no wings were before....

The universe didn't begin in a singularity - but the universe ends

in a singularity. It has been growing more singular, more complex,

more unique, more novel - every passing moment since it burst into existence.



Lewis:

History isn't just a story of bad people doing bad things.

It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things -

But somehow something goes wrong.

The self you were really intended to be -

Is something that lives not from nature -

But from God.

Something coming down from the world of light, and power, and knowledge.

Something coming down from the world of light.

From the beginning to the end of the world -

is always the present -

for HIM.

Everyone's heard of evolution. How men evolve from lower types of life.


And people often ask - What's the next step?


When is the thing beyond man going to appear?

The next step has already appeared.

The next step is from being mere creatures -

-

To being sons of God.

-

The next step has already appeared.

But somehow something goes wrong.

And people often ask - What's the next step?

When is the thing beyond man going to appear?

When is the thing beyond man? -

What's the next step?

The next step is from being mere creatures - to being sons of God.

But somehow something goes wrong.

Huxley:

Pushing in the direction of less freedom -

There are a number of technological devices - which anybody who

wishes to use - can use - to accelerate this process - of going

away from freedom - of imposing control.

Pushing in the direction of less freedom -

Pushing - Pushiiing - Pushiiiiiing -Pushiiiiiiiiiing

less freedom - less and less freedom -

less and less and less freedom -

freedom?

ah - as technology becomes more and more complicated - it becomes

necessary to have more and more elaborate organization...

in the direction of less and less freedom...

We may have drugs which will profoundly change our mental states -

Without doing us any harm.

...He was using every modern device at that time - he didn't have TV,

but he had the radio which he used to the fullest extent -

And was able to impose his will on an immense mass of people...

What I feel very strongly is that we mustn't be caught by surprise by

our own advance in technology - this has happened again and again in history -

Where technology has advanced - it changes social conditions -

And suddenly people have found themselves in a situation which they didn't foresee -

And doing all sorts of things they didn't really want to do.

-

I postulated a substance called Soma,

Which was a very versatile drug - it would, ah -

Make people feel happy in small doses - it would -

Make them see visions in medium doses -

And it would send them to sleep in large doses.

McLuhan:

What do you think of LSD?

Well he said I know some hate his guts but I think he's the greatest

president we ever had.

ummhumm

And what do you think of marijuana?

Well as for marijuana, my wife and I spent a week there last year

and it's terrific!

ummhumm

The thing that holds the world together is sound.

Resonance.

Auditory space is a very peculiar thing and we live in echo land

now.

In a simultaneous - instantaneous - all at once - electric world.

Auditory space is a very peculiar thing and we live in echo land

now.

That is echo land.

And it happened to be auditory echo land.

And I said the medium is the message you've nothing to fear.

I can say that to you.

The medium is the message you've nothing to fear.

The book is a very special form of communication.

It is unique.

And it will persist.

I would suggest that one of the main reasons for its persistence in

the future will be scriptural study.

It is unique.

And it will persist.

-

And that is auditory space.

Auditory space has a very peculiar property -

It is a perfect sphere who's center is everywhere and who's margin

is nowhere.

It is totally non visual and non visualizable.

It is a perfect sphere who's center is everywhere and who's margin

is nowhere.

It is totally non visual and non visualizable.

The printed page which you provide for school children is useless

for the TV child.

The TV child is a cyclops - he only uses one eye.

He is not a reader.

He's a hunter.

He is not a reader.

He's a hunter.

He is not a reader.

He's a -

There are not two alphabets there is only one alphabet that creates

civilization and that's the phonetic alphabet.

The Hebrew alphabet does not do this.

Sound -

The Arabic alphabet does not do this.

Resonance -

The Chinese and Japanese letters or ideograms do not create literacy

- in any - sense - at all.

Literacy consist in separating the "I" from the other senses,

Resonance -

Creating euclidean space.

And creating all the illusions of rationality,

And uniformity.

And the continuum of existence.

There are lots of things better then civilization but if you like

civilization that's the end of it...

Hofmann:

I had the feeling like I saw the world - as it really is.

I got the feeling I would be included by it -

Had the - Feeling of happiness I had never had before.

Wonderful - Feeling - Hapinessssssssss

If you have open eyes you see it as it really is -

This gave me the security that - if you have open eyes -

You may see the world in a different way - I mean -

You see it as it really is!

If you have open eyes you see it as it really is -

And this gave me the security - if you have open eyes -

You may see the world in a different way - I mean -

You see it as it really is!

Wonderful!

Leary:

To turn on you have to have a key -

to get in touch -

With the neurological -

sensory -

and cellular information that you've got stored -

In that 2 Billion year old receptacle -

you call -

your -

body.

Now how do you turn on?

Well I'll tell you this -

You can't turn on with words-

You can't turn on with thinking -

You can't turn on -

Now how do you turn on?

Well I'll tell you this -

Turn on - Tune in - And drop out.

And we're very dropped out...

Teaching people how to use their head...

The point is -

That in order to use your head -

You' have to go out of your mind...

You have to go out of your mind to lose your head.

Its a highly complicated engaging of nerve tissue and cell tissue inside

- which ah - throws you - into ah -

energy languages.

Think that man's technology is creative - can be dangerous -

If an unprepared person gets it.

Energy language...

You got to use your head to operate your brain -

There is an analogy between reciprocities for Marijuana,

or reciprocities for LSD, and all that - or Opium -

and ah - the boot up different areas of your computer.

And its amazing isn't it?

Operate your brain - Why?

Cause the brain designs reality.

Cause the brain designs reality.

Cause the brain designs reality.

Cause the brain designs reality.

Cause the brain designs reality.

Cause the brain designs reality.

Watts:

Where by we switch -

From one attitude to another -

One situation to another -

And this pulse -

Switch situation -

Is the very nature of existence -

That's why your heart does that -

That's why all sounds -

All light -

Everything! -

Is going - bleep - bleep - bleep....

And see because of that - bleep - you know you're here.

You have absolutely no fear of pain -

You have no anxieties -

You have no hang ups.

The man who woke up -

From the dream -

Of life as we ordinarily take it to be -

And found out -

Who he was -

Who he is -

Everybody has in himself the capacity to wake up -

From the illusion -

It's simply pointing out, like -

If you put your hand in the fire you'll get burned -

You can get burned if you want to - its ok - but

If it so happens that you don't want to get burned -

You don't put your hand in the fire.


Lilly:

These keys are to unlock doors -

Out of your present prison -

Doors opening on new vistas -

Doors beyond where you are now.

Our main problem - in the universe and in realities which we do not

talk about or perceive - of a self beyond our present self -

directly in our present state - the superself - being present - we

will illustrate by using one problem in human existence - repeating

words... somehow... is a set of hindrances... communicates.. and

repeat.. a set of evasions... feeling, thinking action... a set of

refusals to see.. again and again and again.. in both directions.

Somehow communicates in both directions...

On these tapes are recorded what one says in one track -

What one feels on another track -

And what one does on a third track.

Deep empathy -

And love.
