War

The end to war starts with YOU.

Stop fighting with yourself, your friends, you neighbors.

Set the example!

Be the light!

Shine on!!

Today is a Good Day

Today is a good day. It’s a great day. This is the first day of the rest of my life. Wow, wtf does that mean really? Hell if i know. hahaha..

Life is a twisting, turning story that will leave you guessing until the end.
It will mold you, shape you, twist you, pull you, push you, shake you, love you, hate you, inspire you, ignite you, incite you, delight you.

Tonight, you.

It’s on!

Quote

“Since Aristotle, man has organized his knowledge vertically in separate and unrelated groups — Science, Religion, Sex, Relaxation, Work etc. The main emphasis in his language, his system of storing knowledge, has been on the identification of objects rather than on the relationships between objects. He is now forced to use his tools of reasoning separately and for one situation at a time. Had man been able to see past this hypnotic way of thinking, to distrust it (as did Einstein), and to resystematize his knowledge so that it would all be related horizontally, he would now enjoy the perfect sanity which comes from being able to deal with his life in its entirety.

Recently, it has become possible for man to chemically alter his mental state and thus alter his point of view (that is, his own basic relation with the outside world which determines how he stores his information). He can restructure his thinking and change his language so that his thoughts bear more relation to his life and his problems, therefore approaching them more sanely.

It is this quest for pure sanity that forms the basis of the songs on this album.”

–Quote from the liner notes of The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators

Quote

“We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for psychedelic drugs. In terms of the role of psilocybin in human evolution on the grasslands of Africa, people not on drugs were behind the curve. The fact is that, in terms of human evolution, people not on psychedelics are not fully human. They’ve fallen to a lower state, where they’re easily programmed, boundary defined, obsessed by sexual possessiveness which is transferred into fetishism and object obsession. We don’t want too many citizens asking where the power and the money really goes. Informed by psychedelics, people might stop saluting. “Take your political party, your job, whatever, and shove it.”"
—Terence McKenna

Patti Smith quote (with The Big Necessity in mind)

“The transformation of waste is perhaps the oldest pre-occupation of man. Man being the chosen alloy, he must be reconnected via shit, at all cost. Inherent within us is the dream of the task of the alchemist to create from the clay of man and to re-create from excretion of man pure and then soft and then solid gold. All must not be art. Some art we must disintegrate. Positive anarchy must exist.”

Thank you Morgan Mitchell for courageously telling your story. I totally agree with you that Elan is not the place to send your children. My parents were clueless and to this day, not that I bring it up anymore, they shut down anytime I bring up what happened to me there. My mother one time [...]
