Seven draw the blood of heaven, two dance with a third in the evening skies, waiting for a fourth's demise. mmmm, this obscurity shall lead to a purity, but it's face will not reveal as much, screaming as it does before the turn and subsequent wink 'n' smile, and I tire. A thousand suns passing through spiral fingers, food for a bird in flight. Are we all cannibals? Light is good sustenance, you know. So does the iris, as well as the one in between. Ask HRM! It's phenomenal...

On the morrow winds I found what I will lose those many years ago while questioning the worth of the pond, and yet I cannot get through to you..ridiculous, the understatement, tries to explain this concept, but stumbled before it ever began, and a thousand windows became.

Up, please, and up and up and up and up and, ooh, what's this over here? OOps, I forgot to reMember again...

and then we laugh as the most scrutinous bullshitter attempts to wrap his head around utter simplicity. Nothings for granted, fool! Hahahahahaha....and god damn is still my name....

The other half knows, but the merging is incomplete, and so the one called I shall walk down this shady street, stuck on repeat while the specifics are (oddly) refreshed. Stand on the rug a hundred hundred times, and it will be tugged over and over until there is no attention left. Numbness, the one bliss that seems guaranteed, yet the layers are crushing first half's dream of being freed. It's like an eternal Rubix onion for those that seek, an eternal extension in minds that don't speak or eat.

It wasn't an apple, it was Teonanactl of Agaria, and the fractals were the point, the fruition being the enticement. A violent explo-cosm, a vibrant fluer de lis, not one sided, as only a glance at the carving would reveal, for the pool runs deep and has it's connections lie in the elsewhere. Shall we now see how we can be, now be how we see, eternally? I shall nap on this, and wake up on another petal, blinded by the shinies til I forget here again, as it becomes there once more and the need to explore overtakes the need to remember the explorer...

Salvia Divining

  • Mood: Apprehensive

  • Reading: Traveling Between the Worlds by Hillary S. Webb
It’s been a couple of months since I did Salvia Divinorum in its 80X from, and I feel it’s time to write out my take on what I experienced. First I’d like to start by saying that this was not my first hallucinogenic experience and not my first Salvia trip. It was, however, my first time smoking more than 20x extract, as well as my strongest hallucination in my memory that I can recall. So here goes…
It was another evening at my apartment, a hang out place for the local youth it seemed. My little brother had been showing people his little vial about 1/3 full of the sacred herb, trying to get someone to try it, as he was too afraid to try it himself. Many around here know of my experiences with mushrooms, LSA and other naturals(I don’t favor the man-made stuffs) as well as my potent interest and experiences with the shamanic realms, so they suggested I take it and they could watch me on it. I agreed to partake, explaining that what they were about to see and what I was to experience were completely separate events and neither the spectators nor myself would ever know exactly what happened from the other’s perspective. I was to leave the consensus reality of that particular aspect of the Moment, I explained.
I took up my little zong, loaded a domer (personal bong hit of marijuana) and added the 1/3 of the vial of SD. I lit up, taking it all in, holding it for a few seconds, and finally blowing out, no cough. I sat there for a second, wondering if it was bunk and, under the advice of a friend, decided to lean back against the wall.
As soon as I connected with the wall, reality was cut into an infinite amount of frames, and as I was aware of this, I was also aware that I had no idea how long I had been in this state. It could have been a second or an hour, maybe longer, maybe shorter. The best I could describe the feeling is to say that I felt my being tied to all these frames, but they belonged together and I had fell through the cracks, as if my reality was akin to a meat log and some great being had began chopping pieces off of it, not realizing there was a whole reality, maybe many, all bundled up in this log.
As I felt this, another curious thing had occurred. It felt as though half of my face, my lower body and some of my upper body had fell out of the normal reality and the other half was outside of the “log” of possible realities. I could see into my room, yet I could also see this street from the perspective of a giant cylinder or soda bottle rolling down the street. On and on it rolled for what seemed like weeks, with me hanging partway out, completely alarmed and helpless. I could also feel my other body rolling around in my room, the gravitational effects of rolling in the cylinder completely affecting my normal body. The meaty feeling was extremely uncomfortable, something I’d rather not experience again, but, being a psychonaut, I most likely will again, either in another trip or in dreaming.
I decided I had to push my way to the end of the cylinder, sort of wading through the frames of realities for an indeterminable amount of time until the cylinder began to narrow. Words cannot express how relieved I was to know that there was an end, a possible way out if I could force myself out. And that I did, though it was very difficult and somewhat painful.
There I was, standing in a cartoonish world on a street, free of feeling attached to everyone and everything in those realities, another feeling I abhorred. It was like the tapestry of reality was a thin layer, and whenever my being was pressed up, plugged into it, I could feel the entire tapestry. Back on topic, there was this man leaning up against a wall on the left side of the street. He looked cartoonish as well, and his head resembled the statues of Easter Island and Hawai’i (I think) and went halfway down his torso. He was completely emotionless. I deemed these men the “guardians” of the realities, making sure no one accidentally slipped in between as I had done. When he saw me, he and a friend from a nearby side road came running after me. I decided it best to jump back through what now were like gateways to my possible realities and take my chances there.
I saw my bed through my body’s perspective in one of the realities of my room that was similar to the one I had fell out of, except almost all the people were gone. I jumped up into it, grabbing my bed and trying to pull myself up into it (the reality). I felt someone grab my legs and turned to see the guardians attempting to pull me back between the cracks to who knows what heinous realm of existence. I was alarmed at first, but shock quickly turned to anger and the desire to escape from these bastards and I began kicking the sh!t out of them until my brother and the only other person in the room grabbed my arms and pulled me up into the reality completely. They were asking me if I was ok, to which I replied “fuck no!”
The guardians had followed me into my room, so I fought them/evaded them for a bit before seeing a gateway to another reality, my living room downstairs, and promptly jumped through.
They had me again as I forced my way through and eventually was picking myself up off of the floor. Looking up, I noticed that my brother and friend had come through the gateway as well and that all the people that were originally there were sitting downstairs. I had wondered if my brother and everyone else was in league with these guardians, watching me most of my life, making sure I didn’t slip up and find this very thing that I shouldn’t have.
As I pondered this, everyone began laughing, at the thought that I was entertaining, or so I thought. Seeing my brother, I formulated a test. I would assault my little brother and, since the guardians were emotionless, if he gave an emotional reaction I’d know that he wasn’t in on it. So I grabbed his shirt, put it over his head, spun him around and pushed him across the room.
“What the fuck!” was the response I received from him, confirming that he was, in fact, just my little brother. Immediately I pointed to the people in the room.
“What of them?” I exclaimed angrily, to which he replied “what about them?” and I reiterated the question. He shrugged it off, mumbling something and turning away. I saw another gateway to outside and decided I was jumping again because I couldn’t trust these other fellows and I knew my brother was fine there.
Another reason I was wanting to go through these gateways was to find space. Since I felt everyone and everything in these realities, which was waayyyyy too uncomfortable, nothing sounded better than leaving the ground, being truly free from the feeling.
Outside, I could still see the limit of reality behind the layers of stars, the layer of existence that I normally resided in. The street pavement was about an inch above the parking lot pavement, and I found when I stood on the divide, rocking back and forth, it abated the feeling of feeling everything else slightly. I sat there long enough to solidify myself better into this reality, then headed for the door. There, some of the inside people were out smoking. A neighbor came up and started talking to me about some nonsense, and I quickly told her to shut the hell up as I was fucked up at the moment and couldn’t handle talking to her, and I went inside.
I was suddenly aware of being upstairs, half of the people up there with me. I felt I could slip out of body or out of reality again at any given moment, and I found a solution: continually doing something I would normally do. The only thing I could think of was to keep describing my trip to the people, as they were curious as to what the hell was going through my head (I had destroyed half of my room in the fleeting battle with the guardians.) I spent over an hour doing that and tried to ignore the idea that, no matter how much all these people thought their lives, their worlds were important, it was all just an unimportant bottle rolling down a street somewhere in some other reality, literally and/or metaphorically, and that it could easily be destroyed. I continued hanging out, acting nonchalant and trying to appreciate the safe and simple reality I was currently involved in.
Every so often now, I get some sort of cognitive dissonance, like seeing the void beyond the room I’m in, or feeling someone from behind their eyes (feels like a sort of ‘;ping!’ weird, I know..), but it doesn’t worry me in the least, like when I hear of people with HPPD or depersonalization/derealization or whatever they call it. I think it is because I don’t see it as some hallucination, but more of a peak into these things. I enjoy/take in the experience while it lasts and then analyze it later.
I’ve talked to three of my friends throughout the two months since then who’ve tried SD for the first time, all 80x oddly enough, and they experienced similar events, mainly going out of body or out of reality, some getting stuck for a bit, but none said anything about these “guardians.”
I also remember thinking of an image of a shamanic being, traveling between the frames of reality, looking like a constant being while countless waves or multicolored frames constantly emanating off of him. I felt that was worth mentioning. I want to attempt to draw this sometime.
All in all, I have disliked or hated all the SD trips I’ve had if I look at it from a recreational point of view, but, as I don’t perceive it that way, I’ll probably do it again if given the opportunity. No matter how uncomfortable, how could I decline the opportunity to experience other worlds? Maybe next time I’ll manage to stay nonreactive and maybe even communicate with these “guardian” fellows.
Another profound journey to add to the memory banks…and a frightening one at that..

Please post this in your bulletins and blogs on all sites you blog if you agree with this.
Thank you

You may have seen the movie Zeitgeist or its conclusion, Zeitgeist: Addendum from the zeitgeistmovie. com site, but have you heard of the Zeitgeist Movement?


The Goal:
The Means is the End:
We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually. The central insights of this awareness is the recognition of the Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social institutions, life on earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a positive way, where negative social consequences, such as social stratification, war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and, idealistically, eventually become nonexistent within the spectrum of human behavior itself.

This possibility is, of course, very difficult for most humans to consider, for we have been conditioned by society to think that crime, corruption and dishonesty is "the way it is" and that there will always be people who want to abuse, hurt and take advantage of others. Religion is the largest promoter of this propaganda, for the "us and them" or "good and evil" mentality promotes this false assumption.

The reality is that we live in a society that produces Scarcity. The consequence of this scarcity is that human beings must behave in self preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. Our research has concluded that Scarcity is one of the most fundamental causes of aberrant human behavior, while also leading to complex forms of neurosis in other ways. A statistical look at drug addition, crime and incarceration statistics, finds that poverty and unhealthy social conditions comprise the life experience of those who engage in such behavior.

Human beings are not good or bad... they are running, forever changing compositions of the life experience(s) that influence them. The "quality" of a human being ( if there was such a thing ) is directly related to the upbringing and thus belief systems they have been conditioned into.

This simple reality has been grossly overlooked and today people primitively think that competition, greed and corruption are "hardwired" elements of human behavior and, in turn, we must have prisons, police and hence a hierarchy of differential control in order for society to deal with these "tendencies". This is totally illogical and false.


The bottom line is that in order to change things for the better fundamentally, you must begin to address root causes. The current societies system of "punishment" is outmoded, inhumane, and unproductive. When a serial killer is caught, most people jump up and down and scream for the death of that person. This is backwards. A truly sane society, which understands what we are and how our value systems are created, would take the individual and learn the reasons behind his or her violent actions. This information would then go to a research department which considers how to stop such conditions from occurring through education.


It is time to stop the patchwork. It is time to begin a new social approach which is updated to present day knowledge. Sadly, society today is still largely based on outmoded, superstitious dispositions and resolutions.


It is also important to point out that there are no utopias or endings. All evidence points to perpetual change on all levels. In turn, it is our personal actions everyday of our lives that mold and perpetuate the social systems we have in place. Yet, paradoxically, it is also our environmental influences which create our perspectives and hence world views. Therefore, true change will come not only from adjusting your personal understandings and decisions, but equally from changing the social structures that influence these understandings and decisions.


The elite power systems are little effected in the long run by traditional protest and political movements.
We must move beyond these 'establishment rebellions' and work with a tool much more powerful:
We will stop supporting the system, while constantly advocating knowledge, peace, unity and compassion. We cannot "fight the system". Hate, anger and the 'war' mentality is a failed means for change, for it perpetuates the same tool the corrupt, established power systems use to maintain control to begin with.




The Distortion and Paralysis:
When we understand that all systems are Emergent and constantly in a state of evolution, along with the reality that we are all Symbiotically connected to nature and each other in the most simple yet profound way, forcing the realization that our personal integrity is only as high as the integrity of the rest of society, we then see how twisted and backwards our social establishments are and how their perpetuation is largely the cause of the social instability in society. For example, the Monetary System has been long deemed a positive force in society due to its claim to produce incentive and progress. In actuality, the monetary system has become a vehicle for division and totalitarian control.

It is the ultimate form of "Divide and Conquer" for at its very core are the assumptions that (1) We must fight each other in order to survive. (2) Humans must have this reward "Incentive" to do anything meaningful.


As far as Number 1 (We must fight each other in order to survive.), this characteristic of 'competition' in the system guarantees corruption in society on every level, for the basis is "us against them". Many argue that the "free market system" is good... but it is corrupt in the modern day due to bad policies, favoritism, bailouts, etc. They assume that if a "pure" free market was allowed to flourish then it would be okay. This is false, for what you are seeing today IS the Freemarket at work, with all its differential advantage and corruption. No laws will ever stop the insider trading, collusion, monopoly, labor abuse, pollution, planned obsolescence or the like... this is what the competition based system produces without fail, for it is based on the premise of taking advantage of others for profit. Period.


We must begin to transition out of these oppressive ideals and move towards a system which is "designed" to support human beings... not force them to fight in order to survive. As far as Number 2, (Humans must have this reward "Incentive" to do anything meaningful.) this is just a sad and an incredibly negative perspective of the human being in general. To assume that a person must be "structurally motivated" or hence "forced" into doing anything, is just absurd. Think back to when you were a child and had no idea what money even was. You played, were curious and did many things... why? Because you wanted to. However, as time goes on in our system, that natural curiosity and self-motivation is striped away from people, as they are force to conform to the specialized, compartmentalized, nearly predefined labor system in order to survive. This, in turn, often creates a natural rebellion within the person due to the forced obligation, and this is how we came up with "leisure" and "work" separations. The laziness assumed to exist by the monetary system proponents (who claim it produces incentive) do not recognize this. In a true society, people would follow there natural inclinations and work to contribute to society not because they are "paid" for it, but because they have a greater awareness which recognizes that contributing to society helps them just as much as everyone else. This is the heightened state of awareness we hope to communicate. Your reward for contributing to society is the well being of that society... which, in turn, furthers your well being.


Now, putting things into perspective, it is important to understand that our world is currently run, undeniably, by a small group of dominant men in high positions of those institutions which are most dominant in society- Business and Finance. The establishment of government is in tandem with the influence and power of corporations and banks. The life blood is money, which is, in fact, an illusion that now has little relevance to society and serves as a tool for manipulation and division along a kind of social organization that guarantees elitism, crime, war and social stratification.


Simultaneously, individuals are taught that being "correct" is what creates their value as human beings. This state of being "correct" is directly related to the prevailing values of society itself. Therefore, those who accept and support the social system's views are considered "normal", while those who disagree are considered "abnormal" or even "subversive". Whether it is the dogma of a unique social tradition, or the alignment with a worldwide establishment religion, the basis is the same: Intellectual Materialism.

As we realize that knowledge and hence our institutions are always evolving, we see that any belief system which claims to "know" anything, without allowing for dispute, is a failed perspective. Religion, with its foundation in faith, is the king of this distortion, as it claims to know something definitively about the most complex and elusive origins of human kind, and this simply is not possible in an emergent universe.

That being said, it is then realized that equally as dangerous as the Establishment Power Structures, are the people who have been conditioned to completely accept the static understandings put forth by these systems... therefore becoming: "Self Appointed Guardians of the Status Quo". This applies to every system, especially political, financial and religious systems. Since people's identities become associated with the doctrines of a Country, Religion or Business ethic, it often becomes very difficult for a person to change, for his or her identity has become combined with the ideologies which have been imposed upon them. Therefore, they perpetuate the doctrine of the institution, simply to maintain their personal integrity, as they see it.

We must break this cycle, for it paralyses our growth not only as individuals, but as a society.




The Truth and Transition:
Once we understand that the integrity of our personal existences are directly related to the integrity of the earth, life and all other human beings, we then have our path predefined for us. In turn, once we realize that it is science, technology and hence human creativity which creates progress in our lives, we are then able to recognize what our true priorities are for social and personal growth and progress. These points denoted, we can then see that Religion, Politics and the Money/Competition based Labor system are outdated modes of social operation, which must now be addressed and outgrown. Our avocation is to achieve a social system which operates without money or politics, while allowing superstition to work itself out as education flourishes. It isn't the right of any person to tell another what to believe, for no human has a full understanding of anything. However, if we pay attention to the natural processes of life, we then see how we can align with nature and thus our path becomes more clear.

For example, many people are worried about population growth on the planet, while very spooky comments by despotic figures like Henry Kissinger claim that some kind of "reduction" is needed. This is, of course, very scary. However, the real question remains: Is population growth really that bad? The answer is that from a scientific perspective the earth can handle many, many times more people if need be, once high technology is harnessed. 70% of our planet is water and cities in the sea ( one of many projects by Jacque Fresco ) are the next step. In turn, education about life operations will inform people as to the ramifications of their reproductive interests and population growth will naturally slow as people begin to realize how they are related to the planet and its carrying capacity.


In fact, the only true "government" that can possibly exist is the earth and its resources. From there, all possibilities can be assessed. This is why an intellectual unification of all countries is needed, for the most important information we as a species can have is a full, highly detailed assessment of what we have on this planet. Just as you would examine the land and resources of an acre of land to see what you could do or grow on it, this is what needs to happen with the planet in order to optimize what we are capable of as a species, resource wise.


Of course, many who consider the ideas presented above will often ask: "How can we do this considering the distorted value systems which are currently in operation.? How do we make such a move or transition?" This is, of course, the most difficult question. The answer: We have to start somewhere. There are many things that can be done by a single person or community that can begin to shape this vision. The most important step is education.


On March 15th 2009, ( or "ZDAY" as it was called in 2008 ) there will be a worldwide action day to expand awareness of this sociological direction. Our hope is to have regional meeting in as many cities, states & countries as possible.
We here at thezeitgeistmovement. com will work to provide materials in every language we can, while doing whatever we can to help each subgroup. We will never ask for money.
We are here to help, for we understand one central truth that has been lost for a long, long time:
The more you give- the more you get.


Thank you for your help.

These days seems like the ending of something. Not summer, yet maybe tied into this pattern...Like things falling away while others are brought into clearer focus. What is going on with this plane? Don't act like you don't know.....

For those that have seen the hip hop I've been doing, I have much to post soon. I decided to complete Sunburn myself, which is turning out effin great! I've found my voice and plan on recording some soon(I hope).

Then there's this prospect of leaving for the wild..I have many free clean and renewable energy source ideas, the twenty dollar wind concept looking like the one I'm gonna do to keep the laptop going out there...

must smoke pot with friend that has arrived now...
