"If the truth can be told so as
to be understood it will be believed"
Human history represents such a radical break
with the natural systems of biological
organisation that preceded it that it must be
the response to a kind of attractor or dwell
point that lies ahead in the temporal dimension.
Persistently western religions have
integrated into their theologies the notion of
a kind of end of the world. And I think that a
lot of psychedelic experimentation sort
of confirms this intuition. I mean it isn't
going to happen according to any of the scenarios
of orthodox religion, but the basic intuition
that the universe seeks closure in a kind of Omega
point of transcendence is confirmed. It's almost
as though this object in hyperspace, glittering
in hyperspace, throws off reflections of itself,
which actually ricochet into the past, illuminating
this mystic, inspiring that saint or visionary,
and that out of these fragmentary glimpses of
Eternity we can build a kind of a map of not only
the past universe and the evolutionary ingression
into novelty, but a kind of map of the future.

This is what Shamanism has always been about.
A Shaman is someone who has been to the
end It is someone who knows how the world really
works, and knowing how the world really works,
means to have risen outside, above, beyond the
dimensions of ordinary spacetime and cozooistry
and actually seen the wiring under the board:
stepped outside the confines of learned culture
and learned and embedded language into the
domain of Wittgenstein called the unspeakable,
the Transcendental presence of the Other, which
can be sectioned in various ways to yield Systems
of Knowledge which can be brought back into
ordinary social space for the good of the
Community. So in the context of 90% of human
culture, the Shaman has been the Agent of
Evolution, because the Shaman learns techniques
to go between ordinary reality and the domain of
the ideas: this higher dimensional continuum that
is somehow parallel to us, available to us and yet
ordinarily occluded to us by cultural convention
out of the fear of the Mystery, I believe, and what
the Shamans are, are people who have been able to
de-condition themselves from the community's
instinctual distrust of the Mystery, and go into
this bewildering Higher Dimension, and gain
Knowledge, recover the jewel lost at the Beginning
of Time, save souls, cure, commune with the
Ancestors and so forth and so on.

Shamanism is not a religion - its a set of
techniques, and the Principle Technique is the
use of psychedelic plants.What psychedelics do is
they dissolve boundaries; and in the presence
of dissolved boundaries One cannot continue to
close One's eyes to the ruination of the Earth,
the poisoning of the Seas and the
consequences of two thousand years of
unchallenged Dominator culture,
based on Monotheism, hatred of Nature,
suppression of the Female and so forth and so on.
So, what Shamans have to do is act as exemplars
by making this cosmic journey to the domain of
the Gaian Ideas, and then bringing them back in
the form of Art, to the struggle to Save the World.
The Planet has a kind of intelligence, that
it can actually Open a Channel of communication
with an individual human being. The message that
Nature sends is transform your language through a
synergy between Electronic culture and the
Psychedelic Imagination; a synergy between
Dance and Idea; a synergy between Understanding
and Intuition, and dissolve the boundaries
which your culture has sanctioned between you.
Become part of this Gaian Supermind.

I mean I think it's fairly
profound, it's fairly Apocalyptic. History is
ending, I mean we are to be the generation that
witnesses the Revelation of the purpose o
