1
00:00:11,014 --> 00:00:19,278
That's like believing that you understand Los Angeles,
if you have the telephone directory.

2
00:00:19,278 --> 00:00:24,613
I mean this is the level of genetics today.

3
00:00:24,613 --> 00:00:33,529
They say they understand life and they have the telephone directory
and they're talking about Los Angeles,

4
00:00:33,529 --> 00:00:39,652
because they can look up - you know,
where the genes are the coding for the proteins.

5
00:00:39,652 --> 00:00:45,818
This is tell us anything about a broken heart,
or a messiah, or a Hitler?

6
00:00:45,818 --> 00:00:47,417
I don't think so!

7
00:00:47,417 --> 00:00:56,364
So, what we are trying to do is
return the focus of the tension to individual experience.

8
00:00:56,364 --> 00:01:04,302
We have been slaved too long to ideology
transmitted hierarchically and based on

9
00:01:04,302 --> 00:01:09,279
a tremendously alienating instrumentality.

10
00:01:09,279 --> 00:01:14,481
That's what science depends on now:
tremendously alienating instrumentality.

11
00:01:14,481 --> 00:01:18,280
What we need to do is empower experience.

12
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:27,660
Well, this is where psychedelics come in,
because citizens don't take psychedelics,

13
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:29,782
because it's illegal.

14
00:01:29,782 --> 00:01:38,921
Neither do marionettes, neither do robots,
none of these well behaved and mechanistically

15
00:01:38,921 --> 00:01:43,411
reductionist images of humanity takes psychedelics.

16
00:01:43,534 --> 00:01:48,845
Because it's misbehaving. Misbehaving is a great sin.

17
00:01:48,845 --> 00:01:54,925
In fact (it trying that the first sin,
you regard to the psychedelic issue was there in need.)

18
00:01:54,925 --> 00:02:01,225
And somebody misbehaved and they got toasted out
forever and theirs children and children

19
00:02:01,225 --> 00:02:03,594
in to the chaos of history.

20
00:02:03,594 --> 00:02:07,626
It's interesting to read in genesis why this was.

21
00:02:07,626 --> 00:02:13,347
It was because they will become as we are, says Jehova.

22
00:02:13,347 --> 00:02:18,509
They will become as we are,
if they eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

23
00:02:18,509 --> 00:02:22,939
I suggest to you, that this is precisely
what we should seek to do.

24
00:02:22,939 --> 00:02:31,630
And that this WE, is the voice of hierarchy,
the voice of paternalism, the voice of the male ego

25
00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:41,491
finally (write up) into the storm god, volcano god,
who lays back there in the origins of monotheism.

26
00:02:41,491 --> 00:02:48,963
We empower our experience by insisting on our authenticity.

27
00:02:48,963 --> 00:02:55,340
It's a wonderful thing to learn to stand up and yell, "Bullshit!"

28
00:02:55,340 --> 00:03:03,360
I did it first when I was 18 years old, and it was the meme of the hour.

29
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:10,920
It blew their minds, it did blow their minds, it was uncivil.

30
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:14,689
It was uncivil.

31
00:03:14,689 --> 00:03:22,210
It lacked polity. It was rood, and crud and correct.
Correct!

32
00:03:22,210 --> 00:03:30,540
Because so mush is being slam,
and nobody is talking about the primacy of experience,

33
00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:35,400
and the dignity of the individual. The dignity of the individual ...

34
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,910
We went a long way with this in America before we betrayed it.

35
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:45,880
And it wasn't only betrayed by the clowns in Washington,
it's also betrayed by anybody,

36
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:52,360
who crusted themselves around the feed of self proclaimed nee-bob.

37
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:58,741
Because the fact of the matter is nobody knows what is going on.

38
00:03:58,741 --> 00:04:02,634
Nobody knows, nobody has the faintest idea.

39
00:04:02,634 --> 00:04:06,449
The best guesses are lies, you may be sure of it.

40
00:04:06,449 --> 00:04:14,958
And so, to pretend that one human being will lead
another out of the dark night of ignorance

41
00:04:14,958 --> 00:04:22,099
into the shining light of truth, is ludicrous, absolutely grotesque.

42
00:04:22,099 --> 00:04:27,704
A product of this empowering of the human image

43
00:04:27,704 --> 00:04:32,300
that has gone on trough several thousand years of dominate our culture.

44
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:44,728
If you want a teacher, try a waterfall or a mushroom
or a mountain wilderness or a storm pounded seashore.

45
00:04:44,728 --> 00:04:51,383
This is where the action is. It's not back in a high,
it' not in the anthill, it's not knocking your head

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
against the floor in front of somebody who claims that because of their ???

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Who's feet they washed, and who's feet they washed,
that you should give ??? to them.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Knowledge is provisional.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And we are yet to approach even
the first moment of civilized understanding.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The way it is to be done is by trusting yourself,
trusting your intuition, reject authority.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Authority is a lie and an obamanation.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Authority will lead you into ruin.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's not real. And it isn't , don't get the idea that it's this liberal rap
about how everybody has a piece of the action.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know, the Jews know something,
the Buddhists know something, Wiccaner know something.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nonsense, rubbish, nobody knows anything.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These are different kinds of shell games that have been worked out
by priestly cast of people to keep things under control.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Institutions seek to maximize control, control, control. That is what they are into.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Did you think they were in the business of enlighten you? ... saving you soul?

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Forget it! Control is what this is all about!

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
