Ex Machina





Ex Machina is a thoughtful and sensitive look into the world of synthetic humans and artificial intelligence (AI).

I noticed on Twitter recently that Artificial Sex Dolls are paving the way for this technology from an aesthetic/kinetic point of view and no doubt a superior chat bot AI is being developed to accompany this.

I have no doubt that the integration of humans with machines will become increasingly visible in my life time but I self identify as a primate so I'm happy to be a monkey wearing cotton underpants as Terence McKenna once memorably described us.

Most transhuman fetishists are frightened of dying in my experience. This is a spiritual problem with many answers to hand.

Graham Hancock's TED Talk Banned




A standing ovation for the former Economist journalist and author of Fingerprint of the God's.  This talk has been banned by TEDx WhiteChapel because it comes too close to the reality that is being hidden from the unconscious British people.

The war on conciousness is best exemplified by people who don't know that the entheogenic experience is as important a human experience as having sex or having a wedding. 

If you haven't considered one you can't claim to understand the basics of life. Ask around, talk to people, use a search engine. Reality is not meant to be an adequate experience. It's quite demanding.

Terence McKenna - Global Perspectives & Psychedelic Poetics





A great talk by Terence McKenna. I have to say my own DMT experience couldn't have been further from his description but I was transdimensional for about twenty minutes and his trips were around five. I may have got the dose wrong (I wrote about the visual side here) but I brought back a few more details than three dimensional language.

He's talking to a UFO and crop circle crowd here.

McKenna's Stoned Ape Theory (Mankind's Maddening Mushroom Mistake)



In between the polarized ideologies of scientific materialism and magic mushroom metaphysics stands the brain. It's a prank or giggle of cosmic dimensions when weighing up issues of free will. Read my comment over at Dangerous Minds (if you wish).

The Dead Sea Scrolls, Entheogens & Pharmacratic Sorcery (Parts 1 & 2)






Around the time I was learning of the sacred mushroom metaphor in John Allegro's harshly attacked Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls by the Vatican I made the leap in the book of Genesis as an allegory for prevention of humanity having entheogenic experiences. John Lash takes it one step further and points out the logic flow of the priesthood not only creating an intermediary position for themselves between man and source but also that they are terrified of the experience themselves.

In addition John explains in the first part the lifeless logic behind the pursuit of the transhumanistic path which is if we consider it properly must be a neurotic fear of death concrete evidence of not actually living in the first place.


There's lots more but I like to tap a few words out to give a feel for the content.

Ben Breedlove's Parting Gift






Teenager Ben Breedlove died a couple of days ago, but not before sharing his near death experiences to Youtube. I've been quite lucky to learn as best as is possible to know that we're eternal specks of conciousness and that we incarnate on this planet to learn lessons that we chose to experience.

When Steve Jobs had his Oh Wow moment just before his death I knew exactly what he was referring to and I thought it was interesting that a very public death would give a hint that the cultural programming we've been bombarded by since the Council of Nicea (at least) is coming to an end because if you do the right research the scientific data is very supportive, the entheogenic experience was for me an epiphany, and most of all you should learn who knows this information, and why they don't want you to know that energetically you are infinite.

It's an extraordinarily valuable thing to learn that dying is nothing to fear because paradoxically we start living so much more fully. This information is well known in certain ancient and dark circles very well and it is one that very powerful players have had and continue to have a vested interest in keeping the unaware in the dark.

This information is reaching public conciousness right now through the likes of Steve Jobs and Ben Breedlove's million views so far on Youtube because as Bob Dylan sang.

The times, they are a changing.

It's up to you what you do with the information. 


Look at Ben's smile when he talks about the important bit of the experience. That's real.

Word.

Planetary Tantra




The most interesting audio recording of a personal journey and experiment being shared and explored over the internet I've ever listened to. Joseph Campbell on the Psilocybin he never had the courage or conviction of applied mythology to take.

John Lash - The Isolationism Of The Judaeo-Christian & Islamic Faiths




A first class interview with John Lash by Mike Hagan with some very poignant parts including the separatist nature of the Abrahamic faiths and the melancholia of living through the flowering of humanity in the sixties and its brutal Dresden bombing before reaching fruition by the Anglo American psychopathy-elite through all means available within its power.

There's lots more than just this in the interview, but I couldn't return to sleep when I listened to John's description of his attendance at the Albert Hoffman 100 year birthday celebration. It's hard not to feel empathic towards him and Joanna Harcourt-Smith as they attended the event and lamented the white, intellectual dominance of the gathering. It's hard avoid the uncomfortable truth he raises over the separation of different generations that is the hallmark of the 20th century mechanistic hierarchy and service to self culture.

The quicker we destroy it irreversibly the swifter we can rebuild.

Ken Adam's Friendship & Collaborations With Terence McKenna





This is a warm, honest and affectionate (sometimes raw) interview with Ken Adam's who worked artistically with Terence McKenna. It's not to be missed in my opinion.

Blurb: Ken Adams, psychedelic film maker and new media mage will join me and we'll discuss the life and times of his good friend, Terence McKenna, along with Ken's soon-to-be-released film, "Terra Lumina." Ken captured Terence on camera and off during the halcyon days of the San Francisco Rave scene and the entheogenic rush of the mid-to-late Nineties. We'll explore the ramifications of McKenna's work as we approach 2012, the year that he loosely called, "The Eschaton." Please join us on a journey into alien dreamtime and strange attraction

Terence McKenna - Nine Recorded Hours Of True Hallucinations




I seem to recall listening to this 9 hour recording earlier this year in 15 minute chunks on Youtube before losing the plot line one too many times, due to occasional nodding off. Eventually I downloaded the pdf book off the net and read it to fill in the gaps I had no chance of identifying. 

It's very much about the young McKenna but between him and his brother Denis they experience something I don't think anyone else has described elsewhere though I have heard William Henry talk about the glowing blue electrolytic skin effect that Terence experienced during a sexual encounter he had on this trip. So there's a comparative mythology Stargate episode here but other than that it's unique and very possibly important though Dennis prefers to downplay the episode he is in some chapters the star of the story.

I've written more about it back here.

Krystle Cole - Neurosoup



Krystle Cole is an ambassador for considering the responsible use of entheogens such as Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or DMT. I've written about her before as she has an incredibly interesting story that I can't imagine Hollywood ignoring if it gets over its two faced glorification of killing while too spineless to tackle the importance of meaningful issues such as the topic of sacred medicines.

Every time I listen to her I'm aware of her spiritual advancement and unique candid articulation. Not bad for a former Gothic stripper, nuclear bunker dweller and unfortunate victim of male manipulation and assault.

Update: Original video deleted. Krystle no longer takes psychedelics.

Treat Yourself To Terence



A previously unseen video interview with Terence McKenna just before he was diagnosed with brain cancer has surfaced. Terence is healthy, totally lucid and is interviewed by a person with just enough unfamiliarity of his work to explain to the newcomer his theories on time, compression, the I-Ching, novelty, entheogens, the eschaton, concrescence and much more.

Terence McKenna - Linear Societies & Non Linear Drugs



"When we seek to legitimize ourselves through an historical argument, we reach back to Shamanism and say we're part of something that's 100 000 years old and worldwide that touched the spirit long before the shadow of the cross fell across Jerusalem" - Terence McKenna after a snoot full of Tequila.

Terence McKenna - The Jung Society



Recorded in 1991 at The Jung Society in Claremont, California, where he points out that Karl Jung and Albert Hoffman were both from Basel in Switzerland and the overlapping ideas they had.

Terence McKenna - True Hallucinations



I've been doing a lot more reading recently and that included Terence McKenna's book True Hallucinations. I didn't find his writing as mesmerizing as his later speaking career though there are powerful insights into what exactly went on at La Chorrera in the Columbian Amazon. It's a tale worth exploring for the McKenna aficionado. I have an electronic copy if anybody wishes. 

One passage I've displayed above stood out prominently for me as I was struck at the description for McKenna's new found talents for holding large groups transfixed with his extraordinary speaking genius. Reading the words I couldn't help but conclude that there is no better description for Terence's loquaciousness but as a channelled talent.

Usually channelling relies on some sort of automatic writing but in this case it appears to have manifested as vocal ability. A poignant thought given McKenna's obsession with glossolalia and visual language. I still love most of McKenna's work and I'm pretty sure that Freddy Mercury was channelling something when he wrote the prescient lyrics to Killer Queen or that David Bowie was channelling when writing Star Man and I enjoy listening to Barbera Marciniak's channelling or reading Ship of Songs. If fact it's possible that all creative work or revelation is channelled so I guess there's some sort of obligation on the part of all of us to determine like a bad TV channel (FOX/SKY news for example) which TV station needs to be switched off before it poisons the mind. Now I think of it much of the population is in a trance with sporting, news and reality TV channelling distractions. I might expand on that thought later. Here's McKenna reading from True Hallucinations.

Conciousness Sovereignty


Graham Hancock the former Economist Writer for Africa, takes an intelligent look at the subject of entheogens and tryptamines in a way that articulates in a cogent manner the inalienable right of humans to concious sovereignty. This naturally also applies to those who through trauma based mind control have had their concious sovereignty taken against their freedom of will.
