"The music and the trance-dance drug-taking situation is the establishment of a ritual space outside the conventions of ordinary society, that is the new shamanism. And that's again what makes it so suspect in the eyes of the establishment. They sense that this is something they can't get a handle on and control, or that it takes them some time to get a handle on - they have to figure out how to co-opt each generation in a new way. My generation was co-opted in a very crude way, with money. Your generation... The Establishment's not interested in that, they'd rather keep the money for themselves. I'm hoping that the new trance-dance culture has enough integrity to resist being folded into commercialism and ordinary mass cultural entertainment. But we shall see."

Now on DMTV - Renegade (2004) easily portrays the most incredible and accurate psychedelic experience ever captured on film. You can see a preview in the top part of the left navigation frame.





Finally here!! - MindKiller.org (as in MK Ultra)'s Pat is now in NYC and has organized, for the first time ever on the Internet - thousands of recently declassified pages on the dark days of the CIA's MK Ultra LSD project - making them in easily navigable form. They somehow disappeared in the early 70s but have now resurfaced and are freely available under the Freedom of Information Act, we surmise they had to wait for the original staff to die (including a former Nazi scientist!) There are some crazy reports involving Manchurian Candidate kids locked in a cage on LSD with monkeys.

AMARUCA, LAND OF THE FREE

Did you know that a growing body of evidence suggests that the origin of the name America was not the explorer Amerigo as most believe. It comes from the Mayan word Amaruca, "Land of the Plumed Serpents" (winged serpents, aka the caduceus, symbol of medicine, money, drugs, and kundalini).

The chief god of the Maya in Central America is Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent that looked like the crawling morning glory vine that provided a psychedelic sacarament in the form of LSA. In Peru, this god is called Amaru (as in Tupac Amaru, the last defender killed by the Spaniards) and the territory known as Amaruca. Amaruca is literally translated "Land of the Plumed Serpents." The tribe of Amaru still exists in Peru today.

The painting to the left was created by Timothy Wyllie for the "Harmonic Convergence of August 1987 [which] celebrated the ending of the period of seven hells and the start of the time of thirteen heavens of Mayan astrology. The Spirit of Quetzalcoatl overlit us at the Sacred Circle in New York's Central Park for the ceremony." It can be purchased here.

All this is startling news, folks. That means that families have been in "Amaruca" watching their very own LSA/ayahuasca inspired Simpsons way before the Europeans landed with their communicable diseases spawned from generations living in close proximity to domesticated animals.

Without these diseases the Europeans would not have been able to conquer most of the Amarucas - as in Thailand, the European powers would have made deals with existing monarchies. The natives would have been able to keep most of themselves alive and we would have a modern psychedelic society, unlike one driven by Europe, were no psychedelics fluorished besides the very harsh ones such as belladonna and mandrake.
