"How often have you been there?
Often enough to know
What did you see when you were there?
Nothing that doesn't show"
Baby, You're A Rich Man

bearded wonder at the carnival...
Tripping one sunny day, out for a stroll like a droll psychedelic flâneur, I came to a bridge (appropriately symbolic I thought). At my feet I found a loose page torn from a children's story book. On it was a picture of a bridge with a troll & the eldest billy-goat Gruff...strange co-incidence enough, n'est-ce pas, but it was the words that really amazed me: "And he stamped his feet even louder; TRIP, TRAP, TRIP, TRAP, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!" Was that some kind of cosmic message or what?! Probably not. Just those pesky pixies playing tricks again. Mind-blowing? This was a mental tornado transporting me to some Land of Oz or other fantastical region of inner space... |

Well, if it's good enough for Aldous Huxley & a long line of other distinguished, serious, sensitive, intelligent & compos mentis adventurers consciously to experiment with psycho-active compounds in exploration of inner realms & altered states... Don't try this at home, folks, or
then again 'Why Not?'(in the immortal & pertinent dying
words of that incorrigible old tri This Freedom/Human Right is being curtailed by hypocritical 'anti-drug' policies of Govts around the world. Are they afraid we might wake up & see their 'world'(official version, authorised reality, consensual mass hallucination) as it really is? The 'kingdom of Heaven' is for little children wide-eyed in wonder....but they soon knock it out of you! "To adapt to this world the child abdicates its ecstacy. ('L'enfant abdique son extase': Mallarmé.)" -from the chapter 'Transcendental Experience', in 'The Politics of Experience' by R.D.Laing |

Cary Grant, who took LSD more than sixty times said this about his treatment in 1959: "All my life, I've been searching for peace of mind. I'd explored yoga and hypnotism and made several attempts at mysticism. Nothing really seemed to give me what I wanted until this treatment." As if prophetically, in 1939, he appeared in a film called 'Topper takes a Trip'! Hollywood heart-throb, Cary Grant took many trips. He was one of the pioneers. |
