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...
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...

everything is dripping with meaning.
significance saturates every

then a tiny hole appears in the gas can and
a cone of fire reaches for the sky...

then the gas can resigns itself to fate
and a ball of fire searches for oxygen

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...

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.
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.
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.
