НЕКОТОРЫЕ МОМЕНТЫ
НИКТО НИЧЕГО НЕ ЗНАЕТ, НО ВСЕ УСИЛЕННО ДЕЛАЮТ ВИД, ЧТО ЭТО НЕ ТАК
(...)the fact of the matter is: nobody knows what’s going on. Nobody knows. Nobody has the faintest idea. The best guesses are lies, you may be sure of it. And so to pretend that one human being will lead another out of the dark night of ignorance and into the shining light of truth is ludicrous. Absolutely grotesque! A product of this empowering of the human image that has gone on through several thousand years of dominator culture.
ОТВЕТЫ НУЖНО ИСКАТЬ У ВОДОПАДА, У ГРИБА ИЛИ ГОРНОЙ ПУСТОШИ
If you want a teacher, try a waterfall or a mushroom or a mountain wilderness or a storm-pounded seashore. This is where the action is. It’s not back in the hive, it’s not in the anthill, it’s not knocking your head against the floor in front of somebody who claims that, because of their lineage and whose feet they washed and whose feet they washed, that you should give credence to them.
ВЕРЬТЕ СВОЕЙ ИНТУИЦИИ, ПОТОМУ ЧТО ВЛАСТЬ ВАМ НАВЯЗЫВАЕТ ИЛЛЮЗИЮ ПРАВДЫ, НО НИКТО НЕ ЗНАЕТ НИЧЕГО...
Knowledge is provisional, and we are yet to approach even the first moment of civilized understanding. The way it is to be done is by trusting yourself, trusting your intuition. Reject authority. Authority is a lie and an abomination. Authority will lead you into ruin. It’s not real. And don’t get the idea that it’s this liberal rap about how everybody has a piece of the action. You know, the Jews know something, the Buddhists know something, the Huichol know something. Nonsense! Rubbish! Nobody knows anything. These are different kinds of shell games that have been worked out by priestly castes of people to keep things under control.
ВСЕМ ОБЩЕСТВЕННЫМ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯМ НУЖЕН ЛИШЬ КОНТРОЛЬ
Institutions seek to maximize control, control, control! That’s what they’re into. Did you think they were in the business of enlightening you? Saving your soul? Forget it! Control is what this is all about. And to the degree that we commit ourselves to ideology, we are poisoned.
ПСИХОДЕЛИЧЕСКИЙ ОПЫТ ДЛЯ «ЗАКОННОГО» ОБЩЕСТВА КАК ОТРАВА ДЛЯ ТАРАКАНОВ.
we are particularly repressed in the area that relates to the psychedelic experience. Because it is Raid to the dominator insect invasion. They can’t take it. They can’t stand it. Because it empowers the individual, it dissolves the cheerful model of science-it’s just exposed as a nice story-it enriches the accessible universe tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold. It makes the individual complete within his- or herself.
ПОТОМУ ЧТО ОТ ВАС ЛИШЬ ТРЕБУЕТСЯ ПРИНАДЛЕЖАТЬ И СЛУЖИТЬ
And this completion of the individual is extremely destructive to the plan of the dominators, which is that you will be a cog in the machine. You will participate in the life of an organization. Not your life-the life of an organization. You will go to some bullshit job, you will pour the best years of your life and your genius and your hopes into this. You will serve an institution. You will serve, serve, serve, serve.
ПСИХОДЕЛИКИ СТИРАЮТ ГРАНИЦЫ УСЛОВНОСТЕЙ
So the psychedelics are very hot in this because they dissolve boundaries. They dissolve assumptions. And our task-“our” being everyone who seeks self-empowerment through experience-our task is to dissolve the assumptions of the dominator culture and make it impossible for it to work. This, I think, is already happening.
«РОБОТЫ» НЕ ПРИНИМАЮТ ПСИХОДЕЛИКИ
We have been slaved too long to ideology transmitted hierarchically and based on a tremendously alienating instrumentality. That’s what science depends on now: a tremendously alienating instrumentality.
What we need to do is empower experience. Well, this is where the psychedelics come in.
Because citizens don’t take psychedelics because it’s illegal. Neither do marionettes. Neither do robots. None of these well‐behaved and mechanistic, reductionist images of humanity take psychedelics, because it’s misbehaving.
НЕПОДЧИНЕНИЕ - ЭТО САМЫЙ СТРАШНЫЙ ГРЕХ «ЗАКОНОДАТЕЛЬСКОГО» ОБЩЕСТВА
Misbehaving is a great sin. In fact, it’s enshrined as the first sin. You’ll regard that the psychedelic issue was there in Eden when somebody misbehaved, and then they got tossed out forever, and their children’s children into the chaos of history. It’s interesting to read in Genesis why this was. It was because “They will become as we are,” says Yahweh. “They will become as we are if they eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.” I suggest to you that this is precisely what we should seek to do, and that this “we” is the voice of hierarchy, the voice of paternalism, the voice of the male ego finally right up into the storm god, the volcano god, who lies back there in the origins of monotheism.
ПРИРОДА НА НАШЕЙ СТОРОНЕ
Потому что считающие, что владеют природными богатствами боятся, что может прекратиться источник их дохода и они вынуждены подыгрывать Природе...
We have nature on our side, you see. Nature is beginning to kick up. And, you know, it may alarm you that they’re cutting down the Amazon rainforest, but imagine if you were the clown who owns it, how alarmed he is. He sees it as an investment. He thinks he owns it. And when he sees that it’s being destroyed, he’s extremely alarmed. The fact that nature is itself being seen as a limited resource is a tremendous tilt to our side, because the provisional-model, psychedelic, open‐ended partnership way of doing things is the only style that can perhaps seize the controls of this sinking submarine and get it back to the surface, so that we can figure out what should be done.
НЕ НУЖНО БОЯТЬСЯ ХАОСА - ОН СПУТНИК АРХАИЧЕСКОГО ВОЗРОЖДЕНИЯ
What the archaic revival is going to have to mean (if it has teeth) is a re-empowering of the individual, and a consequent lowering of the profile of institutions-especially government. We need to think about these things because we have bought into the idea that we have to serve and behave and be enslaved, else chaos will engulf the world. We need to carry out our analysis of the situation to the point where we can embrace chaos, and see that chaos is the environment in which we all thrive. That’s how I’ve done it for years. You think I could have gotten away with this in the Soviet Union? I don’t think so. I require a society on the brink of social breakdown to be able to do my work. And I think a society on the brink of social breakdown is the healthiest situation for individuals. I don’t know how many of you have ever had the privilege of being in a society in a pre‐revolutionary situation, but the cafés stay open all night and there’s music in the streets, and you can breathe it, you can feel it, and you know what is happening. The dominator is being pushed. It never succeeds. It never is able to claim itself.
ЛЮБАЯ - ЛЮБАЯ ИДЕОЛОГИЯ - ЭТО ПОЛНЫЙ ХЛАМ!
Did you think they were in the business of enlightening you? Saving your soul? Forget it! Control is what this is all about. And to the degree that we commit ourselves to ideology, we are poisoned. Any ideology-Marxism, Catholicism, objectivism, you name it. Rubbish. All rubbish. What is real is experience. What is real is this moment.
ИЛЛЮЗИЯ СОПРИЧАСТНОСТИ - А ВЫ ЛИШЬ «ВИНТИК» ДЛЯ МАШИНЫ
And this completion of the individual is extremely destructive to the plan of the dominators, which is that you will be a cog in the machine. You will participate in the life of an organization. Not your life-the life of an organization. You will go to some bullshit job, you will pour the best years of your life and your genius and your hopes into this. You will serve an institution. You will serve, serve, serve, serve.
Well, it’s a bad idea for free people to go a long with this. A much better idea would be to insist on the dignity of human beings. To recognize that the freeing of slaves, the giving of the vote to women, the ending of public whippings-that this program of political enlightenment must also then include hands off on how people want to relate to changing their minds.
