My Music Video: "Did You Ever Notice Reality? It's Right Outside Your Door... Take a Walk in the Woods... Unplug... and Experience Nature... "



Lyrics:
Did You Ever Notice... Reality? It's Right Outside Your Door... Take a Walk in the Woods... Unplug... and Experience Nature...

Did You Know It's Possible to Do Ecstatic Dancing Without Buying A Buncha Plastic Crap... Wayfair Is Lying... The TV is Lying... Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up NOW! 

Did You Ever Notice That Doctor Drugs Kill Millions? What About The Endless List of Side Effects? Why Not Just Eat Organic Fruits and Vegetables? Then No Doctor Drugs are Needed... 

CIA, NSA, FBI, DOJ, DARPA, MKULTRA and EIEIO Think for Yourself and Question Authority. [2X] 

Go Ask Alice... To Legalize Magic Mushrooms? Why Not Let Doctors Decide... Why Not Let Patients Decide... Instead of Bribed Politicians...The Puppets of Big Pharma... 

What Have We Learned from COVID 19? Mainly that we are Going to Have COVID 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and an Endless Stream of Tropical Diseases...

HINT! Save $145 by NOT Buying a Ticket to Dead & Co at the Sphere in Las Vegas. I Bet you Would be Able to Hear the Music and See the Lightshow from Outside... and Then you Would be able to Spend that Money on "SOMETHING ELSE!"  I Remember Going to The Further Festival at the Shoreline in Mountain View and enjoying the show from a Grassy Knoll with the poor boys overlooking the Parking Lot... It was a Very Long Concert and about Halfway thru I Walked over to a Chinese Restaurant... and when I got back they were still playing Music... including a Sample of a Train Whistle that totally fooled me... I asked the man sitting next to me: "Where is the Train Around Here?" and he responded: "It's a Synthesizer Onstage..."

I also Remember the Reno Hilton Steve Miller/George Thorogood Concert... outdoors... and we could hear it Great from the Parking Lot... at the end of the concert they played a 12 bar blues song... and both men traded lead guitar riffs... THAT was EPIC.

The REAL Reason I won't be going to the Concert is... I'm too old... Walking a city block is exhausting and I have to sit down... a major adventure is beyond me... The Price is not too high when I consider that Hotel Rooms are VERY Cheap!

What's bad about being Old is: The Rainbow Gathering will be in California this summer and the Idea of a Long Hike and sleeping outdoors is no longer something I want to do...

and then Joe Blow Said on FaceBorg...

First and foremost I am proud to be an American and that the grateful dead originated in the United States of America. I have a college degree in psychology and sociology.in doing so over the years I have learned much about myself as well as the people that surround me. I am tired of making comments of the ken ,Barbies and biffs who choose to attend the sphere shows ...though I may post a humorous pics or two. In reality America is the melting pot of the world. The introduction of the Internet and social media has changed everyones life. As is known change is a constant in this world and we all have to adapt at at one time or another. Yes, I am of the elder generation now but I was young once as were you. I chose to be with the best and wisest people I could meet at dead shows and learned to appreciate the music that feeds us all. As a whole looking at the big picture alot of people still want to experience a dead show because it is a special thing. I respect that. I was blessed to see the band many times front row. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. I am thankful to feel part of the family. Things have changed. God bless the original members of the band for keeping the fire going. All I ask is that for those newbies to respect the elders who are there truly for the music. It's like a religion. It's not all about the drugs. All comments welcome.

Religion is an existential threat to humanity... because it has been weaponized by those who believe in it. Simply, supporting and believing in it does us no justice in the bigger picture of stewardship of our planet. In fact it holds us back.
Look, the only way out of this is to make it cease to exist. And learn from it. Realize as a populace that it is a form of indoctrination (and therefore brainwashing).
Actually, to me it seems as if religion is already imploding, perhaps with the spread of the abundance of information being passed via the internet. For sure, information is power.
Sometimes I wonder if we will see the discovery of intelligent alien life during our lifetimes. Like out in the open info where no one can deny their existence. Certainly that would be the final nail in the coffin of organized religions, would it not?
'Certainly' may be a reach. Admittedly.
In my mind, the Conservative Movement remains the foremost threat to our democracy and likely our entire future. The climate isn't waiting for us to take ourselves out... it is actively changing before our eyes and we are doing little to change ourselves. It makes us wonder why they would call them Conservatives. They ain't conserving anything other than their dying ideology stemming from systemic racism and religious bigotry. And what we need instead is to move forward and learn how to adapt to what is coming.
There's some certainty in if they win the day though. Because certainly we will never make it if the conservative movement moves takes full control of our government which moves us backwards. We will eventually cease to exist due to our own accord. No, the only way to get through this is to bring truth to the table and vote out those who would have us thrown in prison (just because we vote differently). Vote those out who hide behind the bully (pulpits)... for they are the weak ones.
The most important election of our lifetimes is right around the corner. Definitely resembles good vs. evil in my book (i'm an ex-catholic, recovering).
Bu if we elect rational human beings capable of empathy and critical thinking... who is critical of faith-based philosophies (the cause of so many wars and hardships) - but which can work with the other side a bit - then we stand a chance to see our way through this dark era of the MAGA movement in our country. And perhaps then the world... would follow and revert to more liberal policies which provide safety nets and more thoughtfulness to the climate. And we could tax the churches and use that money to help the local communities and provide shelters to the homeless, with prospects as incentives.
But the ...as evidenced by... examples continue to pop up all around us - on the dailey. And what it really comes down to is we simply need to do more to stop and even reverse the damages we've done to our planet and the species on it.
Enter Science. Because we don't figure shit out by praying.



The sensory input devices on the front and sides of your head are scooping up data from the roil of energy all around you and streaming it to your onboard biocomputer, which uses these vibrations to construct a concept of what the world must be like beyond the confines of its bony encasement.

Bill W. Invented Alcoholics Anonymous on a Psychedelic Trip. "The Belladonna Cure" - Two drugs - Henbane and Belladonna

Bill Wilson, cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) had his spiritual awakening while undergoing this treatment. He never drank again.
Wilson's description of his experience: "All at once I found myself crying out, "If there is a God, let Him show himself! I am ready to do anything, anything! Suddenly the room lit up with a great white light. I was caught up in an ecstasy which there are no words to describe. It seemed to me in my mind's eye, that I was on a mountain and that a wind not of air but of spirit was blowing. And then it burst upon me that I was a free man. Slowly the ecstasy subsided. I lay there on the bed, but now for a time I was in another world, a new world of consciousness... and I thought to myself, "So this is the God of the preachers!" A great peace stole over me."

The Belladonna Cure:
The formula for Towns-Lambert cure was the deliriant, Atropa belladonna, also called deadly nightshade. The effects of belladonna include delirium, hallucinations, light sensitivity, confusion, and dry mouth. The second ingredient in the mixture was another deliriant, Hyoscyamus niger, also known as henbane, hog's bean, or insane root. It contained two alkaloids, hyoscyamine and hyoscine. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_B._Towns


Bill Wilson, Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous was VERY Excited about the use of LSD in treating Alcoholism... Then he had Second Thoughts...

He started AA because of a Psychedelic Experience where he met GOD personally by taking Belladonna and Henbane on a five day guided Trip... He saw a Mystical White Light and was given the Fundamental Idea of AA...in 1935... Then 20 Years Later... He tried LSD and thought it would be really great if everyone met GOD personally...

In 1955, came to believe that LSD was a way to allow that meeting to happen... Many AA members were having trouble with the step where you needed to believe that a "Higher Power" could restore your Sanity. Especially members that did not believe in God... Bill felt that LSD could introduce people to a Higher Power DIRECTLY...

Sort of like having God's Phone Number, Dialing the Phone and Handing it to the AA member...

Then on second thought... Bill realized that the AA program was working just fine as it was and there was NO NEED TO FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT BROKEN.

Then use of LSD became just another "Outside Issue" that AA had no opinion on... [Tradition 10]
And this turned out to be a wise choice...

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/aug/23/lsd-help-alcoholics-theory

One Great Idea at AA is You CHOOSE YOUR OWN GOD... OR... Lack of God... 

So Many Different Gods... and So Many Believers Loudly Proclaim that THEIR God is the One True God. That's Absurd! I, like 100% of the people on Earth HAVE NO CLUE if God is real or not.

Some people state that they know... but they are just deluding themselves... I don't mind them deluding themselves, but if they Kill people that are of different Religions... They are Crazy and Dangerous.

Here is An Examination of My Beliefs... 
GOD = Group of Drunks

I do pray... I may not believe in God but what if God believes in me? I often send prayers for good health to the people who are sick. If God is Real, he reads my email... and the people who get the email feel better...

I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior in 1976. If Christianity turns out to be the correct Religion, I'm Saved! I was living with my first ex-wife and she was interested in me becoming a Baptist and I was interested in sex with her so... I went forward at a meeting, accepted Christ, joined the choir and then got bored with it all... we rarely attended. I did like Communion... It's a make believe Vampire, Cannibal Cult! Pretend to drink a persons BLOOD and Eat a persons BODY... OOOH! That's Creepy! But FUN!

However, I much later I did become addicted to crack cocaine and when I wanted to stop I went to a Baptist Church and gave my addiction to Jesus, and never smoked crack again. That evening I went to the Pink Floyd "concert" called "Welcome to the Machine" and that helped also because it gave me something to distract my attention while I was suffering thru the withdrawal symptoms. Another time I went to the Presbyterian Church founded by Annie Bidwell in Chico and prayed that God would find my friends a JOB... and later that week both Manuel and Victoria were employed. A miracle...  Not only that but if I ever stub my toe or hit my thumb with a hammer I shout out JESUS!

When I joined Alcoholics Anonymous I was introduced to the concept of a "Higher Power" helping me with my addiction. The "Higher Power" that worked for me was The "Group of Drunks" an acronym GOD... We were supposed to seek guidance thru prayer and meditation. However I always got Nothing from Prayer or Meditation. ZERO. The Group did help and I stopped drinking alcohol. Remember, Bill Wilson invented Alcoholics Anonymous while tripping on Belladonna and Henbane. Both POWERFUL Hallucinogens. He saw the "White Light" and had a vision of God. Me TOO! Me TOO! LSD, DMT, Peyote and Magic Mushrooms all give you a vision of God. I do like AA so Bill's Trip was a great help to mankind.

If the Hindus or Buddhists are right I'm set to reincarnate as a human or better because I've lead a good life. I have NOT killed any people but have eaten a few hamburgers... I love Bacon too... Oh Well... Maybe I'll come back as a Cow... and then a Hamburger myself...

If the Mormons are right, I'm not in luck. I liked meeting the Mormon people in Utah, they were very friendly and helpful but I just can't believe that God is an Extraterrestrial... Moroni from a star in the constellation Orion... Not very likely to be true.

However, maybe the "Ancient Alien" theorists are right. There sure is a lot of really strange evidence of Alien Visitation... For Example: Why did Mexicans, Cambodians and Egyptians all build Pyramids? What is their purpose? Did they have Alien Help?

If Islam is correct I'm screwed... But then, their Religion JUST SUCKS.

I like THOR... Valhalla I am coming. Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song"

I have a few members of my family that are Jewish and I think that on Judgement day they will let me in. I've been nice to them and that's important in a world where some people put them in gas chambers and kill them.

Of COURSE, Gaia makes a lot of sense. I can really relate to the fact that all plants and animals are brothers and sisters... I really GROK this idea when I'm in a Redwood Forest. I lived on the edge of a second growth forest for 15 years and I "owned" a specific tree in Eureka. I sat on it daily and smoked cigarettes... I sat on it more often that anyone else so it's MY TREE and I'm It's Human. I will share that tree with our cat Meadow as she liked it too.

Then there are the Goddess Religions... Thankfully, I've met a couple of Goddesses and I sure am glad. One was nicknamed "Nature Nurse". She became my Second Ex-Wife.
Another was Ja-Kay R. from Chico. We played the drums in a band in Paradise, California  and performed "Miserlou" at the Farmers market in downtown Chico. A beautiful Blond Nordic Goddess.
Another was a GURU/Teacher named Sonya Sophia who lead a group healing seminar at the Utah Rainbow Gathering. I also bought admission to her weekly internet sessions where we studied "Tapping" a self-help Acupressure technique... I did that for about a year and learned as much as she could teach. "I Love and Accept Myself"

Rastafarians? Sure, I've smoked a lot of reefer... I can play reggae music... it's got ONE CHORD! Easy but I find it boring even when I'm stoned. Cannabis Psychosis is REAL. If you smoke every day you remain stoned even if you don't smoke... You stay stoned for about a month... and I saw things that were not there but I believed that they were... Difficult to take care of business when I'm THAT Stoned...

Pastafarians? - The Flying Spaghetti monster is a good joke.

The Church of the Subgenius? OK, another good joke.

I'm a registered Minister in the Universal Life Church. Why Not?

Scientology? No thanks, that "E-Meter" is BOGUS science and I know enough about electrical engineering to see that the great OZ is just a man behind a curtain... It's a GREAT religion for L. Ron Hubbard but not for any of the followers.

Timothy Leary and LSD? Ultimately it was disappointing and just an amusing ride... No more meaning than a good roller coaster...

Ram Dass? He took a lot of LSD and then went all the way to India to find a GURU... Then he learned to "BE HERE NOW" from a 6 foot 7 inch surfer from Laguna Beach. He could have saved a lot of time wasted on air travel if he had just gone surfing in California FIRST and Ignored the Indians... but he writes great books...

Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead... Fun to dance to rock music on LSD. However it all has the creepy feeling that it was just an experiment in the CIA Project MKULTRA. What IF we dosed millions of people Nationwide? Would that be useful as a Weapon of War? Make the enemy too stoned to fight?

Surfing as a religion? Yes, that makes sense. Or to put it more simply, doing what you love to do as a way of life... Playing the ukulele or throwing pottery or oil painting or computer programming or dancing or bicycle riding or snow skiing or camping or taking photographs or ... etc etc etc... Yes there is a bliss when a person is doing something they love and are totally focused... TIME itself seems to pass more rapidly... I have experience this myself while programming graphic arts... Suddenly hours have passed while I was "in the zone".

A Christian fellow was giving a lecture at Humboldt State University one time and he said that there was only ONE WAY to go to Heaven, Jesus. He said that you couldn't find God by Mountain Climbing OR Drugs... What he forgot to mention was finding God by Mountain Climbing AND Drugs. BOTH! at the same time! It's not an either/or question... I have hiked to the top of El Capitan in Yosemite on LSD and I"m really glad I did...  He also said that Premarital Sex was a SIN. Like, BAD and you shouldn't do it. What an Idiot. I bet that attitude prevented him from getting laid.

Once I read a book called "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz and there was a lot of Toltec Wisdom there.

Another Book Series: "The Teachings of Don Juan" by Carlos Castaneda... Yaqui Indian Brujo Wisdom

I've played the Father Drum with Native Americans and THAT was "Big Medicine"...

"The Temple of the Screaming Electron" and Digital Immortality. Ray Kurzweil plans to  upload your entire Brain to the Internet and Living forever in the cloud.  I'm working on that too with my Blog by typing almost every event in my entire life and every opinion I've ever held...

So, if you don't like your God simply FIRE him and Write your own Religion!
