"A Spiral of Deadheads" Science Fiction Story by gvan42 - and - "Ceremony and Ritual" - Psychedelic Poetry

Question Reality

DO YOU SEE SOUNDS? HEAR
COLORS? WELL...YOU DO NOW!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~


Imagine that you are floating in a tub of warm water...
every muscle in your body is completely relaxed...
your mind drifts and contentment blooms 
like a time lapse film of a Rose... Awakening...
you leave your body and rise up to the ceiling...
you look back and see your body...
it is resting with a cup of tea in it's hand...
ahh...mint...
as you watch your body, your mind seeps 
thru the ceiling and you see the
world. there is a forest...
it is for...rest...

on the shore of a lake a spiral of deadheads dance around a fire.
the flickering light seems to be perfectly synchronized to the rhythm of the drums... alas...
the reversal of entropy is merely an illusion.
one of the deadheads reaches into the shadows and lifts a
five gallon can of gasoline...
it is tightly sealed. he places it on the fire...
they all move back...
it will take time for the gas to expand enough to burst the can...
a slender woman with strawberry blond hair
raises a conch shell to her lips and draws a deep breath.
she blows a long note signaling the
beginning of a new era of mankind.
everything is dripping with meaning.
significance saturates every
leaf of every tree ...
then a tiny hole appears in the gas can and 
a cone of fire reaches for the sky...
you contemplate metallurgy, welding and 
strength of materials...
then the gas can resigns itself to fate
and a ball of fire searches for oxygen 
and of course finds it.
the spiral of deadheads emit a massive
yeah! and you drift on...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

This tale is not a verified experience... it was just a story someone told me about at a Grateful Dead concert... None of my friends EVER put a 5 gallon can of gas on a fire just to have fun...

Psychedelic Poetry - "CEREMONY AND RITUAL" - a story - Fiction - written by gvan42 about Trips to Philadelphia - Grateful Dead at JFK Stadium and The Spectrum Arena 


OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN FUSED INTO ONE SHIMMERING
COLONIAL ANIMAL…
FLOWING IN THE
CURRENTS OF THE MUSIC…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire !

IN THE SHADOWS,TORCHES FLICKER IN THE 
BREEZE. THE ORACLE BEGINS TO SPEAK,
FEEL THE HEAT…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!

WE DANCE OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL
REALM OF TIME AND SPACE.
THE CROWD ERUPTS IN OUTBURSTS OF FREE
-FORM MOTION
AS THE INTENSITY OF THE JAM PEAKS
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!
MY BODY IS TRANSFORMED INTO A PINBALL AND
I RICOCHET AROUND THE SPECTRUM
ARENA BOUNCING OFF THE FLASHING LIGHTS.
A CROWD OF DEADHEADS
SURROUND ME INTENT ON TELLING ME STUPID JOKES…
THEY JUST…know… THAT I WILL LAUGH…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!

THANK YOU DR. ALBERT HOFFMAN
***************************************
This was written after attending a Grateful 
Dead concert in JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was sitting up above the crowd 
in the bleachers and could see the dancers 
move more enthusiastically during peaks of 
the music… less motion during gentle passages… as the dynamics of the improvisation ebbed and flowed, the dancers moved accordingly… like 
sea anemones moving in the currents of the ocean… I also mention the Spectrum in Philadelphia… It has many blinking 
advertisements for Atlantic city casinos in 
the area where refreshments were being 
served…

MKULTRA: a CIA Mind Control Project in the USA during the 1950's and 1960's. They were looking for a way to use drugs as weapons of war. For example: LSD as a truth serum to aid in interrogation or as a way to simply get the "enemy" to lay down their arms, voluntarily... like, too stoned to fight... 
The project conducted tests on college students at Stanford University. Ken Kesey and Robert Hunter both volunteered to eat LSD and other mind control drugs and report on the effects. Later, Ken started having "ACID TEST" parties where the participants took LSD and danced to the Music of the Grateful Dead. Robert Hunter wrote lyrics for the Dead.

Just co-incidence?
      or were "the sixties"
             a CIA experiment to see what happens?

Carlos Castaneda wrote many books about the Brujo Don Juan Mateus, a Yaqui Indian. He taught a different view of the world using medicinal plants and reality-stretching exercises.

The first book is called "The Teachings of Don 
Juan:  A yaqui Way of Knowledge". It's a Classic anthropological study of Mexican Indians. 
Required reading in freshman cultural-anthro at 
Chico State in 1973... The people in the book used 
the teachings to learn how to run thru the desert 
at full speed it total darkness using power from an "ally" that looked like a moth... Hence the images 
of men running... and Moths.  They were also able 
to travel instantly from one place to another... 
Often in these books, Carlos and Juan do things 
that are absolutely impossible... If you believe the traditional view of reality... However, the first set 
on the path of knowledge is to "question reality".

The book "Tales of Power" has many images in it 
that I used to make this animation... Like "finding 
your hands while dreaming": a way to take control 
of your dreams and use them to learn. 

Carlos Castaneda wrote of "seeing" people as 
luminous eggs... with bolts of power connecting 
their midsections to the world around them.
I'm re-reading all those books again... a worthwhile 
use of my time... The Teachings of Don Juan starts 
the series... A Separate Reality, Journey to Ixtlan, 
The Eagle's Gift, Tales of Power and The Second 
Ring of Power... These books document a cultural anthropologist 's study of Mexican Indians, 
psychedelics and Toltec Warriors.  The first book is about psylocibin, datura and peyote experiences 
but the author quickly outgrows these and 
embarks on a magical journey learning the 
ancient arts of "stalking" and "dreaming".

A complementary author is Don Miguel Ruiz... 
The Four Agreements... They work well together.

and I remember doing a POWER WALK after a Grateful Dead Concert... I took ONE STEP and Grocked Everything there was to know about That Location... and then I took Another Step... and 
Grocked THAT Location... and Many Silly 
Deadheads Mocked Me For Walking SO FAST! 
"Watch Out Everybody! This Guy is Speeding 
TOO FAST! Danger Danger!" and I walked that 
way all the way to my car in the parking lot...

Great Book: "The Four Agreements" by Don 

Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec Brujo from Mexico. (Doctor/Priest/Teacher.)


1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.

Starting at birth we are told what to think by our parents, schools and church. These people give us free advice to help them live out their dreams. Their advice may not be in our best interests. By telling us what to think they mold what our reality looks and feels like. Even though we do not know it, we have made agreements with them to live our life according to their rules. Don Miguel Ruiz calls this "The Domestication of Humans". Like we have domesticated horses and bent them to serve our purposes, humans have been enslaved. The first step in breaking free of the bondage that our elders have placed us in is to realize that we are slaves. Then we may reject the agreements that were made without our knowledge and write our own. These new ways of viewing reality can be to our benefit.


Instead of living our lives helping someone else accomplish their goals, we can work to help ourselves realise our own goals. We can stop living the life of a slave and be free. The people that have been programming our minds are not neccesarily evil. They themselves have been programmed by their own parents, school and church and do not realize that they are carrying out the wishes of their elders. The Toltec Warrior's goal in life is to wake up and see the world as it is. We are all living in a dream world that is not of our own making. They are engaged in a battle for their own minds.

SERIOUS QUESTION: Does LSD Improve Long term Memory? What is YOUR Experience? One fact I have noticed is that some events SEEM MORE SIGNIFICANT and are easier to remember than others. For example:

Since I am 67 Years Old I'm starting to have trouble remembering events in my life. My Trips STAND OUT as Important Events in My Life...

Also, I find that reading and writing to Facebook Groups of people I know is useful for triggering memories. True Brain Training that works. This group inspired me to write down every event in my entire life... My AutoBiography...

One fact I have noticed is that some events SEEM MORE SIGNIFICANT and are easier to remember than others. For example: I saw all three Star Wars Movies in the Theater. I don't really remember that experience as different than my memories of watching reruns on TV. EXCEPT The Third Movie... I went on opening night and bought some LSD from a Tie Dyed Person in line... THAT MOVIE EVENT STANDS OUT! The Emperor saying "and now young Skywalker, you must die..." is VIVID! Also driving home I went thru some road construction with those super bright lights... It felt like I was piloting one of those spaceships from the movie... Yes, I have driven a car on LSD... The other time was at a George Harrison Concert... Right after he played the Concert for Bangladesh he went on tour with Ravi Shankar and Billy Preston. I was truly annoyed by the people in the audience who BOOED Ravi Shankar. I guess they didn't like Indian Music and were impatient to hear a BEATLE. The High point of the Show was Billy Preston doing Space Race... Anyway, I had difficulty finding the exit from the parking lot that night. No trouble actually driving but I got lost... 

 Some decades are a Mystery... Like the Late 1990s... I was drinking Alcohol. Don't Do That. There are better quality drugs... For Example: Marijuana, LSD, Peyote, Magic Mushrooms, DMT and that Unknown Chemical I Ate at the Grateful Dead Concert at RFK Stadium... all of a sudden I realized I was tripping on Something Totally Different... Maybe MDMA? The Stadium Lights swelled up to be 20 feet in diameter... and I did a SUPER SLOW POWER WALK all the way out to my car... People were Laughing at me because I took a step, waited until I GROKKED that exact location Completely, then took another step... and GROKKED that new location... Hey, it was totally different and worthy of study... They said: "Watch OUT for that guy, he's walking really fast and might run you over!" I had just read some Carlos Castaneda books and was interested in Power Walking... In his case, he was able to run through the desert in total darkness... my experience was the opposite.

 I also liked to eat Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds. They contain LSA, a chemical that is similar to LSD. It was really fun to drive my wife's sports car on the twisty mountain roads near Santa Cruz... 

 In a classic example of "Hey Kids, Don't do this at Home..." I do not recommend driving a car high on psychedelics. DON'T Do It! Hire a Chauffeur! or go way out into the woods on a backpacking trip... those are some of the best trips! Since you are far away from Law Enforcement... Crazy Behavior is Tolerated!

A Million Trips Later, What was LSD All About Anyway? Was it a Recreational Drug? Was it More Like a Telephone that Allowed People to Call GOD DIRECTLY?

Was it a Significant Event in The History of The World or as Trivial as a Roller Coaster Ride? We Did Get a Lot of Excellent Rock Music Songs. Is it Even Possible to Buy a "Stairway to Heaven" anymore? 

I Have Noticed that People Who Had the Psychedelic Experience Turned Out to BE NICE, KIND and HAPPY. GREED FREAKS Often Missed Out on "The Sixties..." 

The CIA Project MKULTRA Concluded that LSD Had No Value as a "Weapon of War." Does it Have a Value as a "Weapon of PEACE?" In General, Populations that Took LSD Turned Out To Be LESS VIOLENT than Similar Groups... Acidheads are often interested in Art, Music, Poetry, Organic Farming, Love, Peace, Ecology... GEE, What If Everyone Was Like That? 

We are Seeing a Movement to Legalize Magic Mushrooms... What About LSD and Peyote? What IF We Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics FIRST and then Recreational Psychedelics Later. The Main Advantage to Legalization is there Would Not Be the FEAR of Getting Arrested as a Setting for Your Trip. I Have Experienced that Tripping WAY OUT IN THE WOODS has a FREEDOM aspect to it. On Occasions where My Friends and I Were the Only People for Miles Around... We were More Relaxed than Tripping in Public. 

ANOTHER Massive Advantage is that the Chemical Fabrication of LSD Would be Better Quality. Often, Illegal Chemists Make a Substandard Product OR Sell an Entirely Different Chemical (DOM) and Call it "ACID" - I Have Spoken with People that Took DOM (sometimes called STP) and their Three Day Trip was Frightening and Awful. We Would Certainly Reduce the Number of Trips to the Emergency Room with Quality Control. 

What about all the recent talk about embracing Death? Will We Be Grateful?

Please Campaign Online in Favor of Legalization of Medicinal Psychedelics. Write to Your Senators and Representatives. Or at the Very Least, Like and Share this Post. There is Absolutely No Valid Reason for Doctors to Be Prevented from Prescribing Certain Medicines... If You Can think of a Reason The US Government Should Continue to Behave Insane, State it Here... Now... Go Right Ahead...

 Source: The Search for the Manchurian Candidate by John Marks.

 The OSS (predecessor to the CIA) agent Edward Hunter created a new word for the English Language: BRAINWASHING: to cause a person to radically change their beliefs... They wanted to test if it was possible to cause people to start believing what they were told to believe... useful for control of a nation of sheep...

 We can see that many people believed the LIES told by George Bush and voluntarily supported the invasion of IRAQ... Congress funded the war and teenagers joined the ARMY because they BELIEVED THE LIES! Two people are required for LIES to be effective... The TELLER of the Lies and the BELIEVER of the Lies.  It would be a good survival strategy to become skeptical. That way, you don't end up a gullible fool.

 "Think for Yourself and Question Authority" -Timothy Leary
MEME - gvan42 - Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics
Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics
Would the knowledge learned by years of research be useful in our present day war in the Middle East? Could we use psychedelics to reduce the will of the enemy to fight? Change a whole culture into Pacifists?
What would happen if ten million muslims ate LSD ? Would they put down their guns and pick up a guitar? Write some POETRY? Become HIPPIES?

 Supposedly MKULTRA ended, but we hear rumors of it being continued in 2007. Amy Goodman interview on Democracy NOW with Jose Padilla's psychotherapist makes the claim that during his 3 1/2 years in solitary confinement, he was dosed with LSD as part of the interrogation... no proof, because the hallucinations of sensory deprivation are indistinguishable from those caused by eating psychedelics. The victim would not be able to tell the difference...

 MKULTRA: The Leary personality test was developed for the CIA by Dr. Timothy Leary years before he became famous for being the "ACID GURU" The title of Leary's Ph.D. dissertation was, "The Social Dimensions of Personality: Group Structure and Process."
http://www.markriebling.com/leary.html

 One result of LSD use is the realization that we are all one... Countries and borders become obviously fake... The only REAL lines on a map are coastlines... The absurdity of going to war is exposed... Why would we travel halfway around the world to kill strangers? That's why hippies rarely VOLUNTEER for the Army... The death business holds no facination... It could be that LSD use provides a biological survival value... Darwin survival of the fittest... If there is a voluntary death cult like the US ARMY... some brainwashed people will join and die... Guaranteeing that their genes will not be passed onto the next generation... slowly breeding the warrior gene out of the species... Hippie men will laugh at the concept of joining the military and go sing love songs to ladies... a lot more fun!

 After all is said and done, we do have to thank the CIA for making LSD so widely available and popular... If they had never done project MKULTRA, then millions of people would not have been introduced to psychedelics...

 MKULTRA: What they learned was that the most effective way to brainwash a person is to start training them at birth. The agents at the CIA have a long history of using themselves as test subjects. They would slip LSD into each other's drink just to see how it would work in an operational setting... George Bush senior was employed at the CIA as the director. Is it possible that he used his own son as a brainwashing test subject?

 Now that you suspect that George the Son was trained from birth to be a pre-programmed robot, does not his behavior seem understandable? He says "GOD" told him to smite Saddam... could that not be an implanted thought to be triggered later? He would have no understanding of reality because all he has ever known is the world created for him by the Agency... He appeared to be waiting for someone to tell him what to do on the morning on 9/11/2001 while he read "My Pet Goat" with children after being informed of the second plane crash...

 The Motion Picture "Manchurian Candidate" explores the possibility of creating a brainwashed assassin. The original stars Frank Sinatra and Angela Landsbury. It's one of the finest movies ever made. A remake with Denzel Washington expands upon the theme by making the puppet masters a multi-national corporation. Quite a realistic premise given Halliburton and Blackwater's insane behavior...
"Conspiracy Theory" stars Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts and Patric Stewart. Mel names MKULTRA as the source of his troubles...   What, you never heard of Blackwater ???

 Dr. John Lilly did experiments involving electrodes being inserted into the brains of monkeys and letting them push a button that caused a feeling of pleasure. He also invented the Isolation tank. The Movie "Altered States" is quasi-biographical. The Movie "The Day of the Dolphin" was about his research into man-dolphin communication.

 MKULTRA: The Leary personality test was developed for the CIA by Dr. Timothy Leary years before he became famous for being the "ACID GURU" The title of Leary's Ph.D. dissertation was, "The Social Dimensions of Personality: Group Structure and Process."
http://www.markriebling.com/leary.html

 MKULTRA: One rumor is that after the CIA sponsored LSD tests were completed in Palo Alto on Ken Kesey, Robert Hunter (lyricist for the Grateful Dead) and Stewart Brand (Whole Earth Catalog), the CIA allowed them to create the traveling ACID TEST that featured the musical performances of The Grateful Dead. The agency just wanted to see what would happen if millions of people took LSD in uncontrolled situations... It always amazed me that we were able to trip in public in crowds up to 80,000 people without adult supervision or mass arrests. Just co-incidence? I don't think so. I think the CIA was just curious... They wanted to see how effective it would be to dose millions of people. Would they become docile and easily controllable?  Now, we find that Bob Wier and Mickey Hart have joined the "Bohemian Grove" club... known as a men's summer-camp visited by republican political leaders and the super-rich... Did they get invited because they could perform well at campfire sing-alongs? I hope so...
MKULTRA: The mystery of Mary Pinchot Meyer. She was a friend of John Kennedy and supposedly gave him Marijuana and LSD while at the White House as a guest. Then, a few days after his assasination, she was killed and the crime has never been solved. Her family gave the CIA her diary to help them figure out what happened, and they claim to have burned the diary-unread... She was a friend of Timothy Leary.

 A group of women were turning on the top 1% of the men in society: political leaders, movie stars, artists, scientists and business leaders. The idea was to change the whole world by changing the minds of the leaders...

 MKULTRA: In Canada, Dr Ewan Cameron had a hospital where he tried to help mentally ill people by months in sensory deprivation and endless LSD trips. The victims had to listen to tape recordings of their own voice expressing their deepest fears. This "psychic driving" technique was supposed to destroy the victims ego and create a clean slate to build a brand new person... Eventually, the country paid $700,000 to the survivors of the experiments. A movie called "The Sleep Room" was made about his hospital. In a bizarre twist, the head of the World Psychiatric Association (Dr. Cameron) did unspeakable torture to his patients... as if he was the MOST mentally ill of all. All funded by the CIA.

 MKULTRA: The mysterious death of Dr. Frank Olson. He was a US ARMY employee that was dosed with LSD without his knowledge and then got upset. He sought psychiatric help and then a couple of days later died after he went out a window of a hotel on the 13th story. Fell, jumped or was pushed? no one knows. President Gerald Ford gave the widow $750,000 for settling out of court.
http://www.frankolsonproject.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Olson
http://maebrussell.com/Frank%20Olson/Frank%20Olson%208-8-02.html

 This is the conspiracy theory... The CIA wanted to test what would happen if large numbers of people were dosed simultaniously. The did an experiment with an exploding lightbulb filled with LSD in the New York City subway system. This delivery method was a failure... a few people were dosed heavily and the mass were not dosed at all... An alternative delivery technique was to dissolve LSD into a beverage and give it away free to a large crowd of people. This technique is errily similar to what happened at the Acid Tests...
Just co-incidence???

 I believe that the CIA felt that people who had had the LSD experience were less likely to protest the War in Vietnam... Those people would have a tendency to drop out and go practice subsistence farming in rural communities instead of participation in the violent overthrow of the US government. This belief seems accurate... Hey, I live in Humboldt County, California... I'm not really that interested in revolution... more interested in ART, MUSIC and webpage design...

 To furthur add to the mystery, it seems to me that there was very little law enforcement in the parking lots of the concerts.
Obviously, everyone knew that it was easy to find and purchase illegal drugs there. Somehow, the police  simply decided to
not enforce the law at the shows...
Sure, some people were busted and that was a tragedy, but,
for years a triving illegal business community followed the Dead around... or did the Dead follow the community around?

 After all is said and done, we do have to thank the CIA for making LSD so widely available and popular... If they had never done project MKULTRA, then millions of people would not have been introduced to psychedelics...

 The commission was created in response to a December 1974 report in The New York Times that the CIA had conducted illegal domestic activities, including experiments on U.S. citizens, during the 1960s. The commission issued a single report in 1975, touching upon certain CIA abuses including mail opening and surveillance of domestic dissident groups. It publicized Project MKULTRA, a CIA mind control study.

 On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said:
"The Deputy Director of the CIA revealed that over thirty universities and institutions were involved in an 'extensive testing and experimentation' program which included covert drug tests on unwitting citizens 'at all social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign.' Several of these tests involved the administration of LSD to 'unwitting subjects in social situations.' At least one death, that of Dr. Olson, resulted from these activities. The Agency itself acknowledged that these tests made little scientific sense. The agents doing the monitoring were not qualified scientific observers."  source: Congressional Record.

 How U.S. Interrogators Destroyed the Mind of Jose Padilla
By Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!. Posted August 17, 2007.

 http://www.alternet.org/story/59958/

 Jose Padilla has been found guilty in court and faces possible life in prison, but forensic psychiatrist Dr. Angela Hegarty explains after interviewing him that Padilla already paid the ultimate price through torture -- he's lost his mind.

 According to his attorneys, Padilla was routinely tortured in ways designed to cause pain, anguish, depression and ultimately the loss of will to live.

 His lawyers have claimed that Padilla was forced to take LSD and PCP to act as a sort of truth serum during his interrogations. (JUST LIKE PROJECT MKULTRA)

 Origins of the term "brainwashing"

 The term brainwashing first appeared in the English language relatively recently. Author John Marks writes that a journalist later revealed to have worked undercover for the Central Intelligence Agency first coined the term in 1950.

 Edward Hunter (1902-1978) was an American journalist, author and intelligence agent. He is credited with popularizing the use of the term "brainwashing" in English, and collected a large number of examples of Chinese Communist propaganda targeted at the (largely illiterate) population in the immediate post-revolution period.
