PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: The following quotations are by Bruce Damer.]
âIn life if you let yourself be ruled by fear life becomes a fearful experience.â
âIf you shake the Earth, all of the loose objects end in the West Coast of North America.â

âThereâs nothing useful thinking about the same task fifty times. Itâs the ego filling the space according to Tolle.â

âAdvertising is heavily ego-driven. ⦠So why do we have them creating our thoughts, creating our vision of ourselves? Why do we nominate them?â

âAnd also say, look kids, it feels good to be online and be doing fifty texts and having 10,000 Facebook members, but your brain is going to be mush. How do you explain to them letâs tone it down and watch the dosage level of technology.â

âItâs the strength of the survivors thatâs always going to get you through. So how do we create a critical mass of people ready for the next phase, ready to build that new Earth?â


[NOTE: The following quotations are by Terence McKenna.]

âDMT is not like a psychedelic drug in the sense that youâre getting into the contents of youâre hopes, memories, fears, and dreams. Itâs much more like a parallel continuum. Itâs much more as though youâve broken through to some alien data space.â

âOne of the most puzzling things about DMT is does not affect your mind. It simply replaces the world one hundred percent with something completely unexpected. But your relationship to that unexpected thing is not one of exaggerated fear, or exaggerated acceptance, as in âOh great. The world has just been replaced by elf machinery.â Your reaction is exactly what it would be if it happened to you without DMT. Youâre appalled.â

âThe psychedelic experience, in the best sense of the word, is a religious activity.â
