A CHAT OF OBSCURE PROPORTIONS

If the truth can be told so asto be understood it will be believed"Human history represents such a radical breakwith the natural systems of biologicalorganisation that preceded it that it must bethe response to a kind of attractor or dwellpoint that lies ahead in the temporal dimension.Persistently western religions haveintegrated into their theologies the notion ofa kind of end of the world. And I think that alot of psychedelic experimentation sortof confirms this intuition. I mean it isn'tgoing to happen according to any of the scenariosof orthodox religion, but the basic intuitionthat the universe seeks closure in a kind of Omegapoint of transcendence is confirmed. It's almostas though this object in hyperspace, glitteringin hyperspace, throws off reflections of itself,which actually ricochet into the past, illuminatingthis mystic, inspiring that saint or visionary,and that out of these fragmentary glimpses ofEternity we can build a kind of a map of not onlythe past universe and the evolutionary ingressioninto novelty, but a kind of map of the future.This is what Shamanism has always been about.A Shaman is someone who has been to theend It is someone who knows how the world reallyworks, and knowing how the world really works,means to have risen outside, above, beyond thedimensions of ordinary spacetime and cozooistryand actually seen the wiring under the board:stepped outside the confines of learned cultureand learned and embedded language into thedomain of Wittgenstein called the unspeakable,the Transcendental presence of the Other, whichcan be sectioned in various ways to yield Systemsof Knowledge which can be brought back intoordinary social space for the good of theCommunity. So in the context of 90% of humanculture, the Shaman has been the Agent ofEvolution, because the Shaman learns techniquesto go between ordinary reality and the domain ofthe ideas: this higher dimensional continuum thatis somehow parallel to us, available to us and yetordinarily occluded to us by cultural conventionout of the fear of the Mystery, I believe, and whatthe Shamans are, are people who have been able tode-condition themselves from the community'sinstinctual distrust of the Mystery, and go intothis bewildering Higher Dimension, and gainKnowledge, recover the jewel lost at the Beginningof Time, save souls, cure, commune with theAncestors and so forth and so on.Shamanism is not a religion - its a set oftechniques, and the Principle Technique is theuse of psychedelic plants.What psychedelics do isthey dissolve boundaries; and in the presenceof dissolved boundaries One cannot continue toclose One's eyes to the ruination of the Earth,the poisoning of the Seas and theconsequences of two thousand years ofunchallenged Dominator culture,based on Monotheism, hatred of Nature,suppression of the Female and so forth and so on.So, what Shamans have to do is act as exemplarsby making this cosmic journey to the domain ofthe Gaian Ideas, and then bringing them back inthe form of Art, to the struggle to Save the World.The Planet has a kind of intelligence, thatit can actually Open a Channel of communicationwith an individual human being. The message thatNature sends is transform your language through asynergy between Electronic culture and thePsychedelic Imagination; a synergy betweenDance and Idea; a synergy between Understandingand Intuition, and dissolve the boundarieswhich your culture has sanctioned between you.Become part of this Gaian Supermind.I mean I think it's fairlyprofound, it's fairly Apocalyptic. History isending, I mean we are to be the generation thatwitnesses the Revelation of the purpose of theCosmos. History is the shock wave of the Eschaton.History is the shock wave of Eschatology. Andwhat this means for those of us who will livethrough this transition into Hyperspace is thatwe will be privileged to see the greatest releaseof Concressed Change probably since the birth ofthe Universe. The twentieth Century is the shudderthat announces the approaching Cataractsof Time over which our Species and the destinyof this Planet is about to be swept."If the truth can be told so as to beunderstood it will be believed".The emphasis in House music and rave cultureon physiologically compatible rhythms, andthis sort of thing, is really there-discovery of the art of Natural Magic withsound. That sound, properly understood,especially percussive sound, can actually changeneurological states, and large groups of peoplegetting together in the presence of this kind ofmusic are creating a telepathic community, a bonding,that hopefully will be strong enough to carry theVision out into the main stream of Society. Ithink the Youth culture that is emerging in thenineties is an End of the Millennium culture thatis actually summing up Western Civilisation, andpointing us in an entirely different direction; thatwe are going to arrive in the Third Millennium inthe middle of an Archaic revival which will meana revival of these physiologically empowering rhythmsignatures, a new Art, a new Social Vision, anew relationship
