0:00:11.014,0:00:19.278
That's like believing that you understand Los Angeles,[br]if you have the telephone directory.

0:00:19.278,0:00:24.613
I mean this is the level of genetics today.

0:00:24.613,0:00:33.529
They say they understand life and they have the telephone directory[br]and they're talking about Los Angeles,

0:00:33.529,0:00:39.652
because they can look up - you know,[br]where the genes are the coding for the proteins.

0:00:39.652,0:00:45.818
This is tell us anything about a broken heart,[br]or a messiah, or a Hitler?

0:00:45.818,0:00:47.417
I don't think so!

0:00:47.417,0:00:56.364
So, what we are trying to do is[br]return the focus of the tension to individual experience.

0:00:56.364,0:01:04.302
We have been slaved too long to ideology[br]transmitted hierarchically and based on

0:01:04.302,0:01:09.279
a tremendously alienating instrumentality.

0:01:09.279,0:01:14.481
That's what science depends on now:[br]tremendously alienating instrumentality.

0:01:14.481,0:01:18.280
What we need to do is empower experience.

0:01:18.280,0:01:27.660
Well, this is where psychedelics come in,[br]because citizens don't take psychedelics,

0:01:27.660,0:01:29.782
because it's illegal.

0:01:29.782,0:01:38.921
Neither do marionettes, neither do robots,[br]none of these well behaved and mechanistically

0:01:38.921,0:01:43.411
reductionist images of humanity takes psychedelics.

0:01:43.534,0:01:48.845
Because it's misbehaving. Misbehaving is a great sin.

0:01:48.845,0:01:54.925
In fact (it trying that the first sin,[br]you regard to the psychedelic issue was there in need.)

0:01:54.925,0:02:01.225
And somebody misbehaved and they got toasted out[br]forever and theirs children and children

0:02:01.225,0:02:03.594
in to the chaos of history.

0:02:03.594,0:02:07.626
It's interesting to read in genesis why this was.

0:02:07.626,0:02:13.347
It was because they will become as we are, says Jehova.

0:02:13.347,0:02:18.509
They will become as we are,[br]if they eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

0:02:18.509,0:02:22.939
I suggest to you, that this is precisely[br]what we should seek to do.

0:02:22.939,0:02:31.630
And that this WE, is the voice of hierarchy,[br]the voice of paternalism, the voice of the male ego

0:02:31.630,0:02:41.491
finally (write up) into the storm god, volcano god,[br]who lays back there in the origins of monotheism.

0:02:41.491,0:02:48.963
We empower our experience by insisting on our authenticity.

0:02:48.963,0:02:55.340
It's a wonderful thing to learn to stand up and yell, "Bullshit!"

0:02:55.340,0:03:03.360
I did it first when I was 18 years old, and it was the meme of the hour.

0:03:03.360,0:03:10.920
It blew their minds, it did blow their minds, it was uncivil.

0:03:10.920,0:03:14.689
It was uncivil.

0:03:14.689,0:03:22.210
It lacked polity. It was rood, and crud and correct.[br]Correct!

0:03:22.210,0:03:30.540
Because so mush is being slam,[br]and nobody is talking about the primacy of experience,

0:03:30.540,0:03:35.400
and the dignity of the individual. The dignity of the individual ...

0:03:35.400,0:03:40.910
We went a long way with this in America before we betrayed it.

0:03:40.910,0:03:45.880
And it wasn't only betrayed by the clowns in Washington,[br]it's also betrayed by anybody,

0:03:45.880,0:03:52.360
who crusted themselves around the feed of self proclaimed nee-bob.

0:03:53.133,0:03:58.741
Because the fact of the matter is nobody knows what is going on.

0:03:58.741,0:04:02.634
Nobody knows, nobody has the faintest idea.

0:04:02.634,0:04:06.449
The best guesses are lies, you may be sure of it.

0:04:06.449,0:04:14.958
And so, to pretend that one human being will lead[br]another out of the dark night of ignorance

0:04:14.958,0:04:22.099
into the shining light of truth, is ludicrous, absolutely grotesque.

0:04:22.099,0:04:27.704
A product of this empowering of the human image

0:04:27.704,0:04:32.300
that has gone on trough several thousand years of dominate our culture.

0:04:32.300,0:04:44.728
If you want a teacher, try a waterfall or a mushroom[br]or a mountain wilderness or a storm pounded seashore.

0:04:44.728,0:04:51.383
This is where the action is. It's not back in a high,[br]it' not in the anthill, it's not knocking your head

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
against the floor in front of somebody who claims that because of their ???

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Who's feet they washed, and who's feet they washed,[br]that you should give ??? to them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Knowledge is provisional.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And we are yet to approach even[br]the first moment of civilized understanding.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The way it is to be done is by trusting yourself,[br]trusting your intuition, reject authority.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Authority is a lie and an obamanation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Authority will lead you into ruin.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's not real. And it isn't , don't get the idea that it's this liberal rap[br]about how everybody has a piece of the action.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You know, the Jews know something,[br]the Buddhists know something, Wiccaner know something.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nonsense, rubbish, nobody knows anything.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
These are different kinds of shell games that have been worked out[br]by priestly cast of people to keep things under control.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Institutions seek to maximize control, control, control. That is what they are into.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Did you think they were in the business of enlighten you? ... saving you soul?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Forget it! Control is what this is all about!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
