Consciousness is
the
domain of
immediate
experience
How are we going to?
Save this planet. How are we going to take the lethal cascade of toxic?
technological and
ignorance
producing habits that are loose on this planet and
Channel them toward some kind of a sane and livable world. Well the answer is
emerging in
Culture out of the collectivity of global consciousness it is what I call the archaic revival
It is this very large
Turnover in the mass mind some people call it a paradigm shift
It's an effort to recover the sensory ratios
the
feelings and
the
attitudes of fifteen to twenty thousand years ago before fear before
ego before male dominance
before
hierarchy hoarding
warfare
propaganda child abuse all of these things
And the answer lies as was indicated last night in
integration into the dynamics of nature
Well so far as I my analysis gives it to me
The only way you can abandon yourself to the dynamics of nature is to break through the language shell
you must cut through the
aura of
Programming and cultural assumptions that surround us from the moment
We are able to speak
the only way this can be done is by dissolving the boundaries of
ego ego is a structure that is
erected by a neurotic
Individual who is a member of a neurotic culture
Against the facts of the matter and culture which we put on like an overcoat
Culture is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable
Now I don't know so you see what I see going on in the Amazon is a very radical
psycholytic therapy
where they are dissolving literally dissolving the boundaries of self culture and
and ego assumption and then what you discover is not
The white light or what William James called a blooming buzzing confusion
Although in the first few minutes, it can be like that
But what you really discover is?
sentient
organized living
loving nature
That nature is a force nature is a mind of personality organized with intentionality
organized with
feeling humor grace and
Conviction conviction and
If you can get right with that conviction
Then that's the secret of dancing in the waterfall. That's the secret of the shamans apparent
transcendence of the rules of mundane statistics
Because that is what it is the shaman doesn't violate physics
He just he or she simply knows how to push the improbable
to its greatest extent and
In in Eastern philosophy. This is called the Dowell, you know abandonment to the flow a
bidding of the small pattern into the larger pattern
well, I think these things are very important because I think that
Psychology psychiatry psychoanalysis
It's a good idea, but it will never reach any kind of operational effectiveness
until we look to these native healers all over the world and
study their methods and their methods are
Chemical and
Personal it's a combination of care attention
intention and
chemistry that allows consciousness to be made malleable and then recast
in other forms
so I

also claimed to be a
conservationist
Also, you know have a mathematical dog and poodle show
well, it's because all of these things emerge out of the concrescence of
Consciousness its intention toward its own transformation
Nature is the answer not it's not enough to be like Wordsworth
It's not enough to
this is not you know Mao Zedong said the revolution is not a dinner party and
Certainly, the ecological revolution is not a dinner party poetic sensitivity to the death of the planet is not what we're striving
for here
What we're striving for is to halt
Overturn and back out of the impending death of the planet. It is very clear now that
Consciousness will decide that
the planet there are not rosy futures of
suburban housing and ratatouille
To be extended endlessly into the future
We are approaching a bifurcation where it is either going to become heaven or hell
one or the other and I think that this
archaic intuition, which I see reaching clear back to the
birth of the 20th century in the 19th century back to people like Alfred jari and
You may Apollinaire and the patter physicists pata physicians the Surrealists the physicists around Einstein
Freud
modern art
modern dance
jazz
all of this stuff is an effort to reclaim the primitive to reclaim the archaic to
reject all that
powdered wig
algebra, that comes down through the French English German tradition of constipated male dominance and
Instead, you know

We're closed it. The intuition is
Rising to the surface. We no longer have to
operate without
the presence of the goal
Firmly in hand. The goal can now be stated what this is all about is a return to archaism
With the lessons learned in history, that's where we were happy. The fall was a fall
into a veil of Tears into a world of
Limitation and pain and suffering and infectious disease and so forth and so on
it's a prodigal journey into a lower dimension that can now be
Ended by a collective cultural decision to commit to this taoist
shamanistic
feminized
cybernetic
caring
aware
Present kind of being I mean it's nothing more than what each of us is in our very best moments
But we have to extend those very best moments to fill whole lifetimes
you know think of the
Number of people who suffered and died that we could sit under this tree this morning
I mean in the last million years nine times the glaciers have drowned south from the poles
Freezing the world into ice and confining human populations to subtropical valleys and the warm tropics
Nine times the interglacial periods have come and human populations have spread out over the earth they had
They didn't have radio. They didn't have antibiotics
contraception
Statistical analysis or the partial differential equation and yet somehow they managed to get us here
are we then as
The heirs of that wave front of the inheritors of a billion year process
Are we in one generation to turn it into a massive pottage?
I think not I certainly hope not I would like to believe that we could make that
leap
to conscious awareness
That would allow us to take hold now the problem it was easy the first ten years
That I sat before you because what we were doing was getting to know each other to verify that we in fact
Existed that I wasn't crazy you weren't crazy
so forth and so on now what looms ahead is the masses of politics and
this
I'm sure you have no stomach for I certainly don't I'd rather be stoned and

But as a matter of fact this dominator thing is not going to be unhooked and put to bed without a struggle
everyone is going to have to be

I've talked to you in recent months about memes
Memes being the smallest potential units of ideas. They're like genes
We are
the nucleus of a mutant meme the meme of plant consciousness
Hallucinogenic consciousness shamanistic consciousness we have to refine this meme
Replicate it through repetition and spread it through society in the same way that a plan
Seeds into an echo system. The idea will compete the idea is a good one
It's adaptive its clever. It's tough. It's invasive it can make use of many
Contexts to promote its own existence, but it can't do any of that if we don't replicate it and get it out
So I see these kinds of meetings as an opportunity for
building community as an opportunity for people to look around themselves and
Connect with the other people who are here
We cannot be told from the rest of the population unless we self select and gather together
At a single point in space and time when we do that
We recognize each other when this meeting is concluded
We will merge back into the larger stream of the body politic
But carrying this meme of the Gaian
