INFINITY
Thursday, February 19, 2009
Infinity is that.
Infinity is this.
From infinity, infinity has come into existence.
From Infinity, when infinity is taken away, infinity remains.
Infinity is the concealed breath of the Pilot Supreme.
Infinity is the revealed life of the Supreme’s Boat.
Infinity is the fulfilled body of the Goal Supreme.

PREHISTORIC ORIGINS of D.N.A
Its rising is not bright nor its setting dark.
♦
Unceasing, continuous branching out in roots innumerable.
♦
Forever sending forth the serpent coil of living things.
♦
Mysterious as the formless existence to which it returns.
♦
Twisting back beyond mind. . .
♦
We say only that it is form from the formless life from spiral void.

ALL SIDES
You cannot face too many without knowing what they are feeling.
Your bare dreams. . .
From all sides, from all sides.
Reaching hands, fingers sprawling.
Feeding from a sad sigh away pain and the exploding body falls in emptiness, dark into darkness. . .
You cannot face too many without feeling
that the situation is uncontrollable.
♥(Which it is)♥
And your fate cast into the river is learning to swim.

WELCOME to REALITY
Enhanced equilibrium takes me to a higher plane. . .
On towards the stars and through the cosmos picking up knowledge as I go unravelling the secrets of the universe and yet back on earth.
My life is a mass of contradictions, riding on a wave of heightened awareness.
The mysteries of the world are all unveiled to me, and yet when I see you I cannot control my emotions, I start to shake and stutter and mutter the words I long to say to convince you to stay and share my world.
But you are oblivious to my advances, your world exists in a different orbit to mine planets that clash in the night.
Exploding meteors scatter across the universe, the debris a testimony to our broken link lost love is soul destroying, seeking salvation in those things you hold to be true.
Universal love and the law of the land, these are constants in an ever-changing world, if you walk out now my spirit will be crushed.
How can I survive without your love?
And yet a voice in my head tells me to carry on into the dark unknown. . .
Welcome to reality!

WORDS
That tremulous flame cries in the song of silence. . .
•
WORDS fill my head they have nothing left to say their time is past.
•
WORDS ~ a crumbling milestone in the desert, but have we reached it or does it recede in the distance?
•
In trying to solve this question I stand still and a warm wind blows forever.

ALBERT HOFFMAN, the inventor of the mind-altering drug LSD, died at the age of 102
Albert Hofmann was a Swiss chemist who discovered lysergic acid diethylamide-25 by accident in 1938 while studying the medicinal ingredients in plants. One April day in 1938 a bit of LSD seeped onto his finger. That's when he discovered the psychedelic effects of the drug.
||
LSD was studied as a possible weapon by the CIA and military, who were looking for ways to control the mind. Ultimately the effects of the drug were too unpredictable. In the 1960s LSD was the drug of choice for the counter-culture in the U.S.. It was outlawed in 1966 after it was deemed unsafe due to people under the influence having psychotic breaks-committing murders, or jumping out of windows, believing they could fly. LSD is outlawed in most countries.
||
Hofmann understood the problems LSD could cause, but he stood by his discovery. "I produced the substance as a medicine. It's not my fault if people abused it", he said.
||
Hofmann wanted the LSD ban lifted for more study, believing that the drug could be beneficial to enlightenment if used correctly. He stated on his Website "...enlightenment, beatific vision, love. I think all these joyful testimonies of invaluable help by LSD should be enough to convince the health authorities, finally, of the nonsense of the prohibition of LSD and of similar psychedelics".
||
Hofmann did acknowledge the dangers of the drug if it fell into the wrong hands, and wrote a book published in 1979 called, My Problem Child.
||
"It can help open your eyes", he once said. "But there are other ways: meditation, dance, music, fasting".

♥ Psychedelic Poetry ♥
∇
PROSE IS TALK, poetry is music. Prose is linear, grammatic-logic, sequential condensation of experience—what the categorizing mind can remember from the ever-changing flow of experience.
∇
Poetry is one step closer: What is communicated is more image than thought, multifaceted rather than linear, musical-emotional more than conceptual-mental. It is not surprising then that many attempts have been made to translate the fantastic experiential explosions induced by psychedelics into poetic metaphor.
∇
The first poem, "A Glass of Ayahuasca," is extracted from a larger, soon to be published volume of South American writings by Allen Ginsberg, who has been called "the most popular American." His good-humored and sensible approach to controversial political issues have won him the respect and admiration of political and social leaders and persons in all walks of life. His most devoted audience though is found on college campuses where with readings and mantra-chanting, he incarnates sometimes an ancient Indian philosopher-poet, sometimes an inspired Hebrew prophet; an American Jeremiah, whose Wichita Vortex Sutra touches one deeply, at the most human level.
∇
Timothy Leary's Pyschedelic Prayers constitutes a psychedelic manual, adapted freely from the Chinese wisdom text, the Tao Te Ching. Rewritten and tested many times in actual LSD sessions, they are designed to be read during psychedelic trips. "Psychedelic poetry, like all psychedelic art, is crucially concerned with flow. Each psychedelic poem is carefully tailored for a certain time in the sequence of the session." The two poems reprinted here are "prayers invoking cellular consciousness, seed consciousness. Odes glorifying the DNA code....the brain of cellular life....
Psychedelic poetry should be read aloud at a slow tempo, in a low natural voice....
To the consciousness released from imprinted statics these prayers can become precise bursts of trembling energy and breathless meaning."
