#2561 Tue, 2 Jul 2002 15:49:23 Tue, 2 Jul 2002 15:49:22 Infected Mushroom will be at the new Chaos Cc: BLAST! My dreams of the Twilo crew finally hosting a psy-trance event were dashed yet again… who knows what happened but the important thing is that Infected has been here for days; the venue has changed to the New Chaos, which has hosted many rolling israelis listening to their particular version of high energy house music… sound system is not bad but they may supplement it. There was a trance party there back in the days when it was the Bank, called Trancespotting: INFECTED MUSHROOM are in Manhattan since Monday morning. LAST MINUTE VENUE CHANGE for Wednesday night: TSUNAMI’s “INFECTED MUSHROOM” party has been moved from Club Arc to: C H A O S 225 East Houston Street (corner Avenue A) trains: F to 1st Avenue All the rest, including hours, ticket information, line-up are the same. Looking forward to an infectious and liberating party! JEG

#2566 Fri, 5 Jul 2002 12:00:33 Fri, 5 Jul 2002 12:00:33 Infected/Tsuyoshi review and NY psy-trance soapbox Infected Mushroom at New Chaos: At least 800! Tsuyoshi at Vilo: 50 Tsuyoshi would have done much better had Infected rolled around for a two day slammer at the same place.. Note to future psy-trance organizers – DON’T GIVE VILO AN INCH!! Well, if there ever was a battle for the future of trance music, it was fought this week and audiences in New York voted with their feet. The insane last-minute venue switch worked best.. after an impossible back and forth round of negotiations between Tsunami’s John Emmanuel and Club ARC manager Mike Bindra (formerly manager of Twilo – now of the new shall we call it Vilo??) Infected Mushroom was moved to the venue at the New Chaos, which was literally SHAKING, all three floors pounding with mad energy, with a huge line still at 4am… too bad they didn’t play “Live” was there not enough room? meanwhile, things were quiet and business as usual… we got to the newly managed and refurbished Vinyl/Twilo (Twinyl?) after Tsuoyoshi’s set and the complete non psychedelicness of the Twilo mindset was in full regalia… few people, dead promo – no insane vibe, just start and stop confusion seguing into a mind numbing house beat, any novelty through to the shredder.. Mike Bindra the former manager of Twilo and new manager of Vinyl/Club ARC STILL has NEVER EVER EVER had a psy-trance party in his domain – “Psy-” in trance scares him, hey maybe someone should make psychological trance… you’d think a half Indian half Dutch would be perfectly aligned to Goa Psy-Trance. OK, he has some slack because the city shut down Twilo, but THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS when you foster a culture that will seem to support a serotonin depleted neurochemistry through overindulgence in a music that is made to make you feell good when on E, and people start dying from heat exhaustion, but this is all a tangent. Point is, you go for the low hanging fruit, the suckers who want to wear Diesel and roll every weekend, there are prices to pay. Happiness ain’t to be gotten from a pill. groan Oh yeah, there are also good mirrors behind the DJs so you can see what they play, how they play, but the design gets a little oppressive when you need a BRACELET to get into the coveted VIP room (which you can see through a window from the main floor)

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the powdery ven- and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs. “Oh yes,” he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. “When I smoke scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me.” The place where Raza and other Pakistani junkies smoke dope or shoot up in the southwestern city of Quetta is a good place to find scorpions. It is the main cemetery, a dust-filled field of t-bstones and corpse-sized mounds of rocks. A shantytown molded from the pale dirt of the desert claws its way up a steep mountain slope on one side while Muslim prayers ring out across the city on the other. In the middle, in the ruins of a building, Raza and a dozen addict friends spend their days. Some, like Abdul Hai, have been coming here for more than 20 years. More disdained than criminalized, the hundreds of junkies in Quetta, capital of Pakistan’s parched Baluchistan province, gather away from the chaotic life of the city. In the cemetery, sometimes one of them will get very stoned and drop into an open grave. “We are safe here,” says Raza, a mechanical engineer, who says he started down the slippery slope of ds after becoming addicted to pain killers years ago when, he says, he was shot 18 times by police. The graveyard addicts beg or steal for their d money. They pay off officials for peace. When they forget, the police come and beat them, they say. Closer to the center of town, other Pakistani junkies hide away in an even less salubrious den. They huddle in small groups, cloaks pulled over their heads, in an open gutter. – Nov 19 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Beaver/Frost Moon) Nov 30 – Transsolar South Africa Trance Party timed to the Dec 4 solar eclipse come.to/solareclips – Dec 19 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Cold/Long Nights Moon) – Dec 21 8:15pm Winter Solstice “opalescent psychofluid and a libido torpedo” You are invited to join us in a beautiful field in the Apalachian Mountains of West Virginia for a full weekend of psychedelic trance.

It’s up to every single reader out there to call and/or write your Senator and demand this bill is defeated! See end for contacts. Pleas e forward this info to everyone! Read on- SENATE TO DECLARE WAR ON R AVES No nightclub owner, promoter, or event coordinator is safe Bill could halt musical events such as raves The Senate is poised to pass le gislation that would give federal prosecutors new powers to shut down rav es or other musical events and punish innocent business men and women f or hosting or promoting them. The bill, known as the Reducing American’s Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act (RAVE Act), was just introduced in the Senat e on June 18th and has already passed the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is moving VERY rapidly and could be passed by the Senate as early as ne xt week. Worse still, the Senate leadership considers this draconian d war bill to be so uncontroversial that they are trying to pass it under “unanimous consent” rules, which will mean no debate and no real vote. It is absolutely vital that your Senators here from you today. They need to know that this bill is a danger to civil liberties and is unacceptable . ACTIONS TO TAKE: Call your Senators and tell them to stop S. 26 33, the Reducing American’s Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act from becoming law. Tell them that innocent business owners shouldn’t be punished for th e crimes of their customers. Tell them this bill has dangerous anti-civil liberties provisions that they need to be aware of, and this bill deserv es serious debate. You can contact your Senators through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. To find out who your Senators are go to: web senate.gov/senators/senatorbystate.cfm Please forward thi s action alert to your friends and family. The Senate needs to know that voters find this bill unacceptable. MORE ON THE BILL S. 2633, spons ored by Senators Durbin (D-IL), Hatch (R-UT), Grassley (R-IA) and Leahy ( D-VT), would greatly expand the so- called “crack house statute” and pote ntially subject innocent business men and women to enormous fines if cust omers sold or used ds on their premises or at their events – even if t hey were not involved in the offenses in any way. If the bill becomes l aw, property owners, promoters, and event coordinators could be fined hun dreds of thousands of dollars if they hold raves or other events on their property. This bill is a part of a Justice Department strategy to halt a ll musical events they don’t like, such as raves.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes.

Serotonin: The Neurotransmitter for the ’90s Introduction Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is widely distributed in animals and plants, occurring in vertebrates, fruits, nuts, and venoms. A number of congeners of serotonin are also found in nature and have been shown to possess a variety of peripheral and central nervous system activities. Of particular interest over the years is the psychotomimetic activity displayed by several serotonin-related compounds such as N,N-dimthyl tryptamine, 5-hydroxy-N,N-dimthyltryptamine (bufotenine), and 4-phosyphoryloxy-N,N-dimthyl-tryptamine (psilocybin). Although serotonin may be obtained from a variety of dietary sources, endogenous 5-HT is synthesized in situ from tryptophan through the actions of the enzymes tryptophan hydroxylase and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. Both dietary and endogenous 5-HT are rapidly metabolized and inactivated by monoamine oxidase and aldehyde dehydrogenase to the major metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Of the chemical neurotransmitter substances, serotonin is perhaps the most implicated in the etiology or treatment of various disorders, particularly those of the central nervous system, including anxiety, depression, obsessive- compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, stroke, obesity, pain, hypertension, vascular disorders, migraine, and nausea. A major factor in our understanding of the role of 5-HT in these disorders is the recent rapid advance made in understanding the physiological role of various serotonin receptor subtypes. – End forwarded message –

#2587 Thu, 25 Jul 2002 17:42:41 Thu, 25 Jul 2002 17:42:41 Gilles from the Synthetic Sadhus writes of the loss of Krisztina This is from On this night of May 28 2002, 17 days after my life changed for ever, I have to share with you the most painful news ever, Krisztina Vegh, my only love, the other Sadhu, has just died in a plane crash, on the evening of Saturday may 11 in Hungary, her native country And here I am, in front of a blank page, desperately trying to communicate the suffering I am going through. I just lost the essence of my innocence, the only woman I ever truly, deeply, infinitely loved without any boundaries and within every boundaries. She was my soul mate, the reason I am still alive, she was sacred, Coming from a source of pure love and healing…Her name was Krisztina, Krisztina Vegh, the most beautiful name I have ever heard, the most beautiful girl I have ever met. People who met her were blessed, only as a blooming sun can bless…She was a gift, a gift from life, a gift from the sacred source, and I had the rare privilege to share five full years of my existence with her. Now, she has surely returned to the source, they must have needed a soul as pure and beautiful as hers…..But I can not accept and I do not want to accept it, I refuse to loose her….I refuse to loose her…Shall we meet again, in a life or another, in a world or in Heavens, shall we meet again…my pure love, my true friend….I will always love her, every day I live, every breathe I take, every step I walk, I will live it for her, I will breathe it for her and I will walk it for her, because she’s everything to me, her love has penetrated my veins and her faith has flown in my blood, she changed me for eternity, she taught me humility and goodness, she taught me devotion and redemption, she enlighten my existence as no one could ever do, she’s a goddess, a light and a princess, a true one, and her nobility resides in her heart…She could heal any pain from a simple smile….I would give myself a thousand times for her, I will do anything possible or impossible to see her one more time, to hug her one last time, to hear her and to feel her by my side, I don’t know how to live without Krisz, I don’t know how to breathe without her, I am sliced in a thousand pieces and truly ignore how to glue the pieces back, I even ignore if I want to glue them back…Despair is a very dangerous place to be…. Words are such cliches, because we find ourselves trying to communicate through a vocabulary that stands so limited compares to our emotions, truly, there are no words to express what I feel right now, such loss is an ever bleeding wound, especially when the loss is Krisztina, her of all people, my poor angel, I wish I could do somthing, somehow, somewhere, sometime, or now more than ever…How can it be that she does not exist any more, how can it be that she only remains a memory in the souls of the living, of the ones who have been touched by her, and everyone who met her, even for a split second has been deeply touched by her grace, her ever shining grace…She was a sun to me, she was THE sun to me, her voice was my guide and her eyes were my light. I was her moon and I will always remain full for her. But the moon without the sun isn’t really the moon any longer…I just hope from the bottom of my flesh that she can hear me right now, that God allows her in a way or another to hear me, because I love her, I LOVE HER more than anything….I feel so lost without her, I feel so emptied inside, she took the best part of me with her, and I’ll offer it to her from the bottom of my heart and soul, hoping it will help her on her path to eternity, I’ll always stand by her side, for ever and ever….I have this unbearable feeling that all this is just a nightmare, the worst of my life and that I will wake up, sooner better than later, but the days are passing by and I can’t wake up, I can’t wake up, as hard as I am trying…Therefore, I have to find the strength to honor her, I have to find the strength to respect her because in despite of what she sometimes thought, she has always been more important than anything in my life, more important than anything…It has not always been easy to prove it to her, because addiction is a terrible enemy, But in despite of some difficult times, our love always prevailed…..I miss her so much that it is unlivable, unacceptable, unthinkable, unbearable, unbreathable, unspeakable because Krisztina is unforgettable, she’s unforgettable ! If only I could do somthing, if only she would not have taken that plane, IF, IF, IF…. If only I could take her in my arms and warm up her cold, fragile and delicate flesh, just one last time, if only I could…..Life is so unreal, so unfair, unfair to take someone like her, unfair to give her such short time… I have all these memories coming back to me, from that first night I met her at the Splash’s bar to that last time I saw her at the airport and all the million ones in between, and I remember her love for life, her respect, her enthusiasm for life and I am trying to follow her path and learn from it. I recall that first night after I took her home, and I realized my life was going to change forever, I felt so excited and so extremely special, she made me feel so special, she made me see myself in a way I never saw before, and I looked so beautiful in her eyes, she showed me the true side of love and I will never forget Krisztina’s eyes. There was somthing magic, somthing sacred in her eyes, somthing so deep and so real, so blooming and so pure, I saw pure love when looking into her eyes…And somehow I knew I met the woman which I will love till the very end. Our passion never had any limits, any boundaries or any fences. And believe me, trust me, the only true place in which she ever shined so much remains in my soul, she’s my flesh and blood, my veins and tears, my faith and seeds….I don’t know where to find the strength….My heart died with you Krisztina….Shall we meet again, in a dream or another, in a sky or another, in a dance or in a cloud, shall we meet again… I ask all of you to remember her and to honor her, for those who met her, for those who knew her and for those who simply felt her through her magical work as the creative force behind the Sadhus, please remember her by living the present to its fullest, by realizing that life is the greatest gift, in despite of all the imperfections and the suffering, we have been given the gift of feeling and the one of sharing it, so enjoy it while you can….Stop to judge and just look at yourselves….. Make love, communicate, share, cry, scream and dance…Be curious, be hungry for life, and never take it for granted, every day you live, every day you breathe is a gift, Krisztina knew this and her humility is a lesson for all of US, she did not even needed any ds, because life was great enough for her, amazing enough as it already was….Simply feel and be grateful for it because we never know what will come tomorrow….The only thing I know is that Krisztina was a sacred being and that we shall, all of us, keep her alive in our love and in our dreams… With much LOVE… Gilles Over ten years ago, I discovered electronic music, at the starting edge of its cultural birth; it was an instant shock, an immediate understanding of this electronic language of emotions, a sudden appeal of my basic human tribal roots through a new synthetic pattern of feelings, displaying themselves as an infinite multilayered new reality. I realized that never before a form of human expression carried me so deeply, so sincerely, so far into the discovery of my own self, of my own consciousness as well as the one of those who were surrounding me at the time. Then, the gatherings started, as a fascinating collection of souls, all sharing and exchanging the same intensity, expressing an unbelievable transcending energy, in which time, symbols, desires and magic where all melting as one entity, as one tribe. And following the logic cycle of life, electronic music started to divide through different identities, and I personally followed the one that was the closest to my emotions, to my dreams and expectations, psychedelic trance. After years of complete devotion to this trance culture, with all its unforgettable memories and casualties, I fell in love all over again, but with a godess this time and after melting our senses, sharing our dances, we gave birth to many beautiful things,some of which are a passionate relationship and SYNTHETIC SADHUS. The Sadhus are a perfect symbol of what we believe in, they have been known in the West since centuries as the naked philosophers, following a systematic reprogramming of the body and mind, a pursuit of the inner light through a mystical mthod to reestablish the link between the individual soul and the absolute. The inner light is the core of one’s consciousness, and still the basic conception of Indian culture, where mystics, who devote themselves to the full time exploration of the Inner Light are highly respected. Psychedelic trance was borne from European fathers living in Goa, and that is no coincidence. This music has always drove us towards our Inner light, it is full of mysticism and references to the Indian culture, it has been sponged by Indian influences and symbolism, which is exactly why it sounds so profound, so intense and so true. I really believe that one can be ‘touched’ by our music, that it carries somehow a sacred language for those who choose to understand it. And even if I often hate modernity’s consequences, it at least gave us access to new technologies, new instruments, that gave us the opportunity to blend those ancestrals quests through a new form of expression, which finally explains our choice for the word SYNTHETIC. Since words are the carriers of beliefs, SYNTHETIC SADHUS definitely symbolizes what trance music represents for us. The music in itself really stands as the essence of our movement, but the parties represent the gatherings where people have this rare opportunity to meet, share, discover, experience, and simply express themselves with a freedom that most of us forgot about. In other words, there is in our gatherings a real opportunity for the attendance to get in touch with their human roots. We provide them with an environment built of fluorescent psychedelic paintings, sculptures, string art, video projections realized by some of the best international trance artists; making sure that every party features a new artist from overseas. And of course we also provide them with a top quality sound system on which the musicians can trust in order to express their music. We started to organize trance gatherings three years ago, after deciding to spend a fragment of our lives in New York, in the twenty first’s century’s Rome, as another experience, as another challenge. We simply wanted to transmit our passion, our center of interest to this gigantesk, yet fascinating symbol of metropolitan modernity. After producing over twenty events, inviting all the major artists and labels of the international psychedelic family, we feel that we have reached our goal. We touched and changed people’s lives and this remains one of the most gratifying experience of our existence. Naturally, some cares more about our message than others, but nobody stayed indifferent to our gatherings. And it is just the beginning….Thanks to you, all of you, who supported us during those past years and the ones to come. Trance culture finally gained an identity into the world’s most extravagant metropole. Our language has no nationality, it is as eternal as it is universal, and its children are the ones who will build a different world of respect, tolerance, beauty and deliverance for the generations to come. Our music is the heart of a real movement, with revendications and dreams, it is to you, to us, to built its foundations on real beliefs, to prove that ‘hallucinations’ are sometimes the refection of reality’s rawest state. So yes, brothers and travelers, sisters and searchers, lovers and dancers, in trance, we definitely trust…. With much love! The Sadhus

#2595 Mon, 29 Jul 2002 05:14:43 Mon, 29 Jul 2002 05:14:43 Feedback on the Upstate Feed Your Head party the organizer was Eli who used to own house of trance. He operates under Global Trance Productions. He was helped by his friend Ricky. Phantasm was just playing and did not organize it. I have fwded all emails to phantasmusa at hotmail, which is Eli’s address. If anyone knows how to reach John Phantasm that would be helpful to get this feedback to him as it reflects poorly on the artists. And was it me or was it me dreaming when on the last morning a carnival barker voice was saying over the PA, “Come to the Concession stand and buy all your food” in a really evil voice? WHo WAS that? all was good except for no green nuns and the food – the food and water being taken was really unpopular to say the least. you should never ever ever do that again, it fucked with the vibe. I’ve NEVER heard of that being done before, you should have at least mentioned it on the flyer. People spent all their money omn food and water and then were too poor to but it from you. The several hundred dollars you may have gotten back does not justify it – it will be harder for you to have nearly as many people at the next event. here are emails i got on saturday and sunday. every one was negative focussing exclusively on the confiscated food and water: “A friend just called me. They just took his money before notifying him that no food or water from the outside is allowed. NOWHERE on the flyer is that stated. They all packed up a bunch of stuff to go up and are SOoo pissed off right now. Save yourself the trouble of food. He spent well over 100 bucks on food to bring up. There was a last minute venue change and now this. sigh hmm.. it better be good.” “that’s really fucked up! a 3 day festival, yo bring your own stuff and then you’re told to trash it (basically) That’s sooooo wrong. I suppose you can’t bring your own toliet paper too.” “That is the most fucked thing I have heard of this summer. You absolutely MUST be shitting me! If I went up there I would have packed myself a deli again. What the hell is going on around here?? Gremlins?? People really have to get a little more prepared before people get on the highway. Man, I wish New York Trancers good luck. This shit has to stop, that is just plain cruel. Good thing I did not go, my Pissed off MetalHead NYHC side would have definately made an appearance, lucky I was not there.” “How could it be good?? That’s totally mad wick wickety wack!! I’d hate to jump the gun here so are you sure your friend Scotty wasn’t reporting an “alternate reality”?? I knew somthing was rotten in Denmark when the 24-hr infoline didn’t have any info, and they lied about Green Nuns on the flyer, but I didn’t expect anything as bad as not allowing food or water for a three-day festival. If it’s true, that’s just totally $$%$&* at $!!! Didn’t HOT try to gouge people at an outdoor festival a couple of years ago?? I’ve seen monkey shit fights at the zoo that made El Cuco look organized, but at least the monkeys weren’t trying to rob each other :/” “what else can you expect from these people they havent done one party without lying or bullshiting i say fuck em! fuck em up their stupid asses!” “Top 10 reasons why the so-called party thrown by “Global Trance Productions” and “Phantasm Records America” was a complete and total SCAM: 1) The venue has transformed itself from a “120-acre private vacation resort” into some trailer trash backyard about 15 miles away from the original location. The route was marked with dimly-lit “OM” signs. 2) All food and water was confiscated at the door, even though there was no mention of this on the flyer. Water was being sold inside at $3 a bottle. Hamburger $4, hot dog $4. I’ve heard that some of the confiscated food was being resold as well. Most people managed to sneak at least some supplies in, but all jugs of water were taken. I’ve spent close to $40 buying water at the party. 3) We were treated to an extra-special way-too-long set by DJ Yawni, and then two sets by the Phantasm family, consisting mostly of hits from the “Complete and Unabridged GMS Box Set”. All musicians (the Phantasms, Space Cat and one other dude with a Powerbook, who I guess was Green Nuns) packed up and took off in an unknown direction around 11 am, leaving the DJ booth unmanned. I do not know if they ever returned. 4) There were TWO port-a-johns (and no water WHATSOEVER apart from the aforementioned $3 bottles) for (I’m guessing) 300 people who crammed into that space for 2 nights. I do not know if the party “organizers” ever planned to clean them. 5) They didn’t allow any unauthorized fires in the camping area, promising “one big bonfire” near the dancefloor. Somehow they’ve forgotten to bring any firewood, however, and from 3 a.m. on they kept feeding the fire with FRESHLY CUT YOUNG TREES. 6) Two unfortunate friends fell for the “private vecation cabins” part of the scam. I guess the half-rusted trailer and shack were supposed to play the part of those cabins. They’re supposed to be getting their money back. 7) The police came around several times during the first night. As a result, the sound system was constantly playing at about 10% of its volume. The cops promised to return around 2 or 3 a.m. the following night and shut everything down, which I hope they did. This was the first time EVER that I’ve welcomed the presence of uniformed police officers at a trance party, since there was clearly a crime being committed. 8) We took off on Saturday – as soon as the acid, which we’ve foolishly taken the previous night, wore off. It was the single worst bad trip in my life. I felt like I was on a downtown A train on Monday morning. When we left, the gatekeeper notified us that there is a $20 re-entry fee per vehicle. The fuckin’ nerve he had. He was lucky I had no heavy objects near my hands when he stuck his face into our car. The first thing that I bought at the nearest gas station was a big bottle of water, the tastiest Poland Spring I’ve ever had. 9) My ticket cost $95. A friend of mine bought tickets and day before “the show” at $105. A simple calculation shows that the advance ticket sales were on the order of $20,000, and that’s discounting the many folks who bought tickets at the door at $120, and that was BEFORE they were robbed of their food and water supplies. Having organized trance parties before, I have a general idea what a party with a $20,000 budget should look like; this wasn’t it. Basically, somebody pocketed our money. 10) It’s hard to say who was behind all this, since no one in particular seemed to be in charge. There were some people who looked like the owners of the place and they weren’t happy about what was going on, either. There were a bunch of Israelis, with a varying degree of shadiness, who might or might not have been the promoters. The House of Trance crew was there, but sort of hung out on the sidelines. I surely do hope that Phantasm Records had nothing to do this great highway robbery, since I used to like the music they put out. However, their name was plastered all over the flyer and they owe us at least an explanation. The only reason I bought my ticket to this party: The 2nd House of Trance festival with John Phantasm and Goa Gil in upstate NY in 2000 was amazing – good music, excellent organization, great vibe. It was a great experience shared by almost the entire New York trance tribe. Water and food was not taken away at the door. The promoters of this weekend’s party were very clearly riding the wave of the 2000 festival and expectations were very high, judging by the great crowd they managed to lure in. Too bad they had absolutely no respect for our tribe. All they wanted was our money. I guess I should have known better than going to a $100 party. Right now I feel like never again going to a commercial trance party in New York, unless it is organized by OmniTribe or Spectra. The trance vibe here stinks, and it’s definitely not because of the trance folks themselves. I’m disillusioned and outraged.” Back to Jeff Finally, the last HOT party with Goa Gil my friends Uri and Dhea almost got kicked ut for bringing a juicer and making fresh fruit juices… is an email sent about that…

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red.

#2601 Tue, 30 Jul 2002 14:18:13 Tue, 30 Jul 2002 14:18:13 Background of the original House of Trance and the relation to today Cc: “I am a bit shocked that so many people who knew Eli (yourself most of all) didn’t expect this sad rip-off to happen last weekend. Past upstate disasters and accused minidisc thefts are one thing, but my girlfriend and your former roomate Lisa has had her life and future seriously fucked up by this guy and H.O.T. Maybe I can refresh your memory a little… Anyone who had anything to do with House of Trance in ’98 knows that she was running the store, trying to repair relations with angry record labels (who tended not to get paid by HOT), giving soup out at Tomkins Square Park during the holidays, etc. Just ask Gilles, Jean-Emanuel, or anyone else who they could count at the store back then…they will not tell you Eli. Yet what was Lisa’s thanks from Eli and HOT? Among other things: – Not getting paid for the better part of a year. – Having Eli talk shit about her, trying to convince everyone that she was a terrible employee, including letters to that effect to Caryn and Tomer. – Being talked into signing her name as guarantor of the store’s credit card machine, even though she was never an officer or even partial owner of the company. As I believe you know, this is the one that has continually come back to haunt her; now she has recieved a summons and is being sued by the credit card company for HOT’s years of non-payment. All Eli had to do (and actually wrote a promise to do) was take the credit card machine out of Lisa’s name and this could have been avoided. Instead he left the country, and the store changed their name (twice now apparently), and burned all the old paperwork presumably to try to escape their debts. Lisa even has a sealed letter from HOT admitting that the store owes her thousands of dollars, and that Caryn and Tomer were acting irresponsibly and Eli would not have been liable should he try to remedy the situation and Lisa’s financial future. I guess it was just to much trouble. I won’t even go into all the crap that the Acid Physix crew (who originally started HOT and hence the ugliest element in the NYC trance scene) pulled, except that it involved alot of literal theft, empty promises, and selfish manipulation of kids who wanted nothing more than to sincerely participate in an inspiring movement. All in all, when it comes to Eli and everything connected to HOT, we’re not just talking bad karma, we’re talking criminal and ethical offenses that would get people killed in some parts of the world.

#2603 Tue, 30 Jul 2002 20:16:03 Tue, 30 Jul 2002 20:16:02 Last was from John Phantasm, this is from Ely Cc: safetydance, dragontribe, phantasmusa at hotmail ya’ll should read these, it explains a lot. forward this out to anyone who was there. occam’s razor dictates that the simplest explanation is probably the correct one. elly and john’s last two events went without a hitch (aside from two friends who were almost kicked out for having a juicer) basically, it’s the same thing as taking advice from a “friend” who has some unsavory clubowner friends and having a party moved last minute to this unfriendly club run by rednecks who refuse to take the blame – and the club owner dicks everyone – the organizers and the attendees. it looks like it was either make a deal with satan or not have the event at all. at least a lesson is learned by all. “Hey jeff and everybody else. I know you received an explanation letter from John Ford and i’ll like to tell you also my point of view. First of all i Eli-take full responsibility for every thing that happened over the last weekend.I was the one that organized this party as Global Trance Production launching Phantasm Records.Phantasm Records and its artists:John Phantasm,Dick Trevor,Dj Junya and all the rest are not the ones to blame,these artists came free to perform and make this party fun and joyable.they did not have anything to do with the production (they came a day before the party to the USA and were not part of all this fuck up)If there is anybody to boycott its me as a promoter and my production.Phantasm Records and its artists has been and is still known in the last 10 years as one of the most honest labels and one of the label that always was a joy to people to go to their parties.it will be no fair to any of these artists and this label to be held for blame,as i said before i did all the arrangement for this party and its only me to be blamed. About all the explanation for this shame party i think John Ford told you all the things that was wrong in this event and i wish they didn’t happened but they did.i wish to apologize to anybody that got hurt or disappointed, that definitely was not the meaning from the beginning,the whole idea was to make somthing that not really happening over here and its to have an outdoor event like i did in the past.i did everything i could to make it better including fighting with however was there. i risked myself in being arrested at list 2 times,i did not make this party from the beginning in order to make money from it,it was known that there would be no money made from the beginning.in fact i spent my own money on this party with no return.All of the other things and explanation i think you got all the figures and story in John’s letter so there is no point for me to repeat it all again. My wish is only to make sure that there is really nobody to boycott and blame but me.i felt the vibe already in the start of the party and that’s why i tried to make it better including giving the cds at the party to the people(over 200 Phantasm Records latest cd releases on my expenses,any thing i managed to take from the van where they put the things that they took from the people,like water and some other things) i did not know that this shame thing would happen. it was not supposed to be and when i saw it happen i fought with these people and flipped myself.i was going all this weekend between the people and apologizing in my name and in my fuck up.it is really not fair to blame any body but me including the Home Of Trance that was only trying to make a nice energy for this party and celebrate with the people and definitely not Phantasm Records and its artists that most of them came here to play and have fun and definitely not to make any money. they were playing for no fee at all.there was no intension to scam anybody and as you know this production was not cheap and there is no way to make money with 250 people that are paying for that. I ask you to post this letter to everybody that you know and was in this party.i will do anything i can to make up for these great people that were only supporting to us and wanted to have fun.I thank everybody and am willing to speak to who ever wants to talk to me and like more explanation for this wrong weekend. Thanks again. Eli.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes.

Your email addresses will go to Ely and maybe John Phantasm so they will jknow who showed up. If I don’t recognize your email address I will ask you questions to check, or just explain who you are thanks. Say what you will, at least they are trying to make amends. I want to personlly ask everyone to let bygones be bygones. Feel free to forward this out to anyone you know who went – and also to email me their addresses so I can manually add them on. DJs – contact them!!! Finally, I have no details on when/where/how much it will be, or if it will be free. Hopefully it will be free for those who were there, and will not double book another party. I’m just passing on info to try to make everyone happy and be meddlesome. PS I will dress up as Pink from The Wall and have my boys take your ds at the door and I will sell them back to you! “Who let all this riff raff into the room” 🙂 DISCLAIMER: Trance people do not do ds, the last sentence was intended as humor. Finally, i must say i was in such a state saturday morning that for 5 minutes there was around my field of vision a cyborg looking cockpit/menu, and i could alter the appearance of anyone i looked at, like in photoshop. Then when it came time to get back into my body i put it on glovelike backwards, and could feel my heels in my face then everything was backwards, when i looked at my back of my hand i saw my palm, etc etc. of what a morning that was. Hey Jeff. this is eli,i really need a list of all the people that you know that was in the party,im booking a place for the kiss ass party and i realy need it fast .i would like to come with a flyer fast so pleas work with me on that. thanks again for all you done for us.

#2613 Mon, 5 Aug 2002 13:51:58 Mon, 5 Aug 2002 13:51:58 ALERT: Write ABC in Support of Stossel Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 11:55 AM To: NORML News ALERT: Write ABC in Support of Stossel Special Dear Friend: On Tuesday of this week (July 30, 2002), ABC News aired a breakthrough special on the d war and discussion of legalization by John Stossel. The one hour report, titled “Just Say No: Government’s War on ds Fails,” included interviews of California judge James P. Gray, Detroit police chief Jerry Oliver, New York priest Father Joe Kane, d reform advocate Sanho Tree of the Institute for Policy Studies, DEA chief Asa Hutchison and others. d warrior organizations like the Community Anti-d Coalitions of America (which is more rabidly prohibitionist than many of its members) are now waging a letter writing campaign to ABC to pressure them against questioning d war dogma in the future. Your help is needed to show ABC that good d war reporting like Stossel’s is not only appreciated by viewers but is needed. Please write a letter in support of the Stossel special to: David Westin, President ABC News 47 West 66th Street New York, NY 10023 Please fax us a copy of your letter to (202) 293-8344 or mail a copy to: DRCNet, 2000 P St., NW, Suite 210, Washington, DC 20036. If you don’t have time to write a paper letter (the most effective mthod for making an impression), please visit abcnews.go/service/Help/abcmail to submit your comments to ABC News online. You can also visit boards.abcnews.go/cgi/abcnews/request.dll?LIST&roomstossel to state and discuss your views on ABC’s web board devoted to the Stossel special. DRCNet will provide info on ordering a video of the program in the near future. In the meantime, you can read an excerpt from it at online. The following is a sample letter you can use (preferably modified and personalized) in your communication to ABC, provided by Marc Brandl of the Libertarian Party’s d War Task Force: – SAMPLE LETTER – Dear Mr. Westin: I wanted to thank you for your excellent choice to air John Stossel’s segment entitled “The War on ds: A War on Ourselves” on Tuesday, July 30th. I found it to be a fresh, engaging look at the issue of d policy, and I believe it represented a level of journalistic integrity that has not been seen on the issue of d reform for quite some time. I hope you will not believe any who might tell you that airing Mr. Stossel’s piece was a poor choice. Indeed, it is of the utmost importance that Americans see both sides of an issue that has gone practically uncontested for far too long. Thank you again for your choice in programming like John Stossel’s. I sincerely hope that ABC News will continue this level of quality analysis in the future, and I will be watching more frequently in the hope that it does. Sincerely,

His new book on psychedelics and shamanism, “Breaking Open the Head,” blends cultu ral history, personal narrative, and metaphysical speculation. The son of writer Joyce Johnson (a member of the Beat Generation and lover of Jack Ke rouac) and painter Peter Pinchbeck, Daniels passionate intellectu al quest has led him on trips to Nepal, India, Mexico, the Amazon, and Wes t Africa. Q: Daniel, what can you tell me about your own interest in psych edelic mind states and related topics? What were the circumstances that le d to pursuing the experiences you relate in your book? A: I first tried Fungi and l in college E28093 as many people do – and my experien ces left me intrigued but puzzled. It seemed extraordinary that such vast alternative dimensions of consciousness could be revealed with such shocki ng immediacy. And it was equally extraordinary that the mainstream culture didnt find this a worthy subject of discussion or thought. After college, I put psychedelics aside to enter the “real world.” When I hit my late twenties, I began to feel increasingly desolate and despairing. I wa s lucky enough to be connected to the New York media world, the art world, and the literary world, but all these scenes began to seem unbearably emp ty to me. I realized that I needed to know for myself if there was a spiri tual dimension to existence E28093 I really thought that I might litera lly go insane or prefer to die without access to some form of deeper knowl edge. I didnt think a bit of yoga was going to do the trick. At a bookstore, I heard about iboga, an African tribal psychedelic plant use d in Gabon and the Congo that is said to show initiates the African spirit world. Most people just take it once in their lives E28093 it lasts fo r thirty hours. I got an assignment to go to Africa and go through the ini tiation, and that was where my quest began. Q. There is a great deal of d iscussion in the psychedelic community about the perceived differences bet ween “natural” and “synthetic” chemicals; new books on synthetic substance s such as K and Ecstasy can be juxtaposed with the stern warnings o f Andrew Weil and Terence McKenna against synthetic ds. In your book yo u write about both plant-based and lab-based psychedelics. How would you d escribe your position on this point of contention? A. First of all, as m odern Western explorers, we have to think carefully about what we are doin g before we take any potent psychedelic. These substances are powerful too ls. They are only used in tribal societies for very specific purposes E2 8093 usually for healing E28093 and generally there are strict rules about how they should be employed. Fungi, for instance, are only consu med at night. If any Westerner persists in haphazard exploration, eventual ly they will be given a powerful demonstration of why these rituals exist E28093 I certainly was. Because our culture has denied the existence of spiritual or demonic realms, we have no traditional knowledge to help us w hen things go wrong. Since it is hard for us to imagine that these other r ealms might be real, it is even harder to take them seriously E28093 un til we suddenly find ourselves playing for very high stakes indeed. Wit h natural compounds, there is at least a textual legacy to draw upon E280 93 you can go and find out how the Mazatecs or the Navajo used somthing and adapt their rituals if you want. You could also go and ask the shamans yourself. With new synthetic psychedelics, we dont even know wha t the rules should be, or what shamans of the past could tell us is going on when we take them. We are on our own, explorers in a new realm, and whi le that can be exciting it can also be terrifying. Also, many synthetic ps ychedelics are extremely dosage sensitive E28093 a few milligrams can e ntirely change the quality of the experience. That makes them more difficu lt to use, and provokes more anxiety. K is an interesting case. It has become very popular because it is physically relaxing and incredib ly visionary. People who use K can construct intricate universes fo r their own viewing pleasure. Yet K tends to take an eerie hold ove r people. My sense is that K is a d that spiritually undermines the user and saps their will, while ayahuasca, especially taken in a tradi tional ceremony, makes you spiritually stronger. I believe that our societ y needs some spiritual warriors right now E28093 not more numbed-out vi ctims, ensnared by glamorous entities from the astral plane. My thesis is that psychedelics actually do reveal other dimensions where there are other forms of beings existing in their own realms. We need to become savv y E28093 eventually, even scientifically precise E28093 about these o ther realms and develop a kind of protocol for dealing with them. It is no t generally the case that the beings we see on psychedelics have our best interests at heart. If we dont know what we are doing, they will try to make use of us in ways we do not really understand. I also think th ere might be somthing to a far-out sounding idea of William Irwin Thompso ns, that our naC3AFve use of ds is one of the factors erodin physical realm and the astral plane. Q. As a descendent of the Beat Generation, how would you compare (or contrast) you r seeking out and experiencing ayahuasca to Burroughs and Ginsber gs legendary search? What is your perspective on the modern psych edelic scene, as compared to the early years? A. Of course, as far as aya huasca goes, I had the benefit of decades of discoveries E28093 by them and many others E28093 since those first expeditions. The Beats were w orking by instinct and intuition. They realized that modern society had be come a horror show, and that their task was to begin to uncover, in Allen Ginsbergs words, “a lost knowledge or a lost consciousness.” They took that process as far as they could in the context of their times and their individual personalities. I believe that my approach E28093 and m y book E28093 is more scientific and analytic, because that is the task of the “counterculture” in our time. Perhaps I am the only person who feels this way, but I see a clear goal ahead. This goal is a direct legacy of the counterculture E28093 but it is actually thousands, perhaps eve n millions, of years older than that. In fact, it is the mission that we m ust somehow accomplish. Think of it as a secret raid to be carried out dee p behind enemy lines, despite incredible odds, and with no possibility of failure. The Beats and the Hippies saw through the abrasive insanity gn awing at the soul of America E28093 this warmongering, money-mad, clima te-destroying monstrosity, which is now casting a dreadful shadow across t he planet. Where the Beats acted intuitively, from the heart, we now have the necessary knowledge to put together a new paradigm that is simultaneou sly political, ecological, spiritual, and far more scientifically accurate than the out-dated Newtonian-Darwinian model which is propping up the doo m-spiraling status quo. The psychedelic experience supports the physicist David Bohms vision of a “holographic universe,” which is also ide ntical to the alchemical perspective of “As above, so below.” We now have the tools to reinstate the archaic cosmological perspective on a firm scie ntific basis. Once that sinks in, it becomes obvious that the true goal of human existence is psychic and spiritual development, and the entire thru st of the capitalist system is a samsaric delusion that is keeping humanit y from recovering its birthright. Perhaps there is a reason that humani ty has been frantically seeking to develop a “global brain” through the In ternet, cell phones, and satellites: I suspect that a moment will come whe n complete social transformation becomes not only possible, but inevitable . That moment may be sooner than we think. The tools are now in place for new ideas to transmit across the globe within seconds. Q. Youve described your experiences, journeys, and fascination with shamanism as l eading to a personal shamanic initiation. Can you enlarge upon this for me ? When did you realize this, and how? What have been the results of this? A. First, I found that I was undergoing some kind of process that seemed t o be intensifying correspondences between psychic experiences and external events. For instance, the last night of my first visit to Burning Man, I sat for hours in front of a metal sculpture of a flaming heart. That night I discovered later, my father had died of heart failure. A year later, I had just started editing a book on corporate globalization, oil, and the environmental crisis on the morning of September 11, when I watched the Wo rld Trade Centers collapse from my window. The manuscript was already ti tled “World on Fire.” Second, I started to have constant dreams that sugge sted shamanic initiation E28093 dreams of dismemberment and death, of m yself being crucified by a cheering African tribe, or processed through so me kind of cosmic sausage grinder. Third, after taking a powerful syntheti c psychedelic, I found myself engaged in some kind of occult battle or con test with a disincarnate entity that lasted long after the trip – for seve ral weeks in fact. This contest included poltergeist phenomena and other t ypes of manifestation that I never would have believed were possible had I not experienced them myself. This particular substance also ushered me in to the Western occult tradition, and since then I have been studying the Q abala and the Tarot, and becoming familiar with great visionary thinkers l ike Rudolf Steiner, Gurdjieff, and Dion Fortune. One result of my mini -initiation is that I now have a vastly different relationship to my dream s than I did before. I now recognize that dreaming is a way of keeping in contact with spiritual forces, with people one knows, and also with the sp irits of the dead. Dreams can also prophesy the future and impart all sort s of incredible information. The “rational” perspective that dreams are ju st some sort of psychic noise is complete nonsense. Shamanic cultures beli eve that dreams are more real than ordinary reality E28093 they are ema nations from a deeper strata of the psyche. Another result is that I fee l able to comprehend what is now happening to the planet on a completely d ifferent level. We are engaged in an occult process, not just a battle ove r material resources and wealth. Corporations are, in themselves, occult e ntities that behave like “Devas,” seeking to compel human belief and sacri fice; television and the media are a form of black magic, a potent techniq ue for indirectly controlling thought and behavior. This may sound funny a t first, but when you think about it for a while, you realize that it is l iterally true. Overcoming this enchantment is humanitys current t ask. One thing I had to consider: What does it mean to be a shaman witho ut a tribe, without any knowledge of healing? I found the answer to this i n a phrase from Black Elk Speaks: “Any place is the center of the world.” Shamanism, for me anyway, is now a nonlocalized phenomenon. Hopefully, my book will act, in some small way, as a kind of shamanic transmission of e nergy to anyone who reads it. Another point should be made: The basic e xperience of shamanic initiation is somewhat depersonalizing, at least at first. You have to let go of your ego, which goes totally against our cult ural biases, where we tend to cling to our ego at all costs. This is one r eason the establishment hates and fears psychedelics so much: They threate n the ego structure that is the basic disease of our society. Eventually, through the shamanic process, you reintegrate your ego at a different leve l E28093 I would say a higher level. In a sense you realize what the Bu ddhists say: That there was never anything to hold onto in the first place E28093 the conventional ego is just a meaningless illusion. Despit e all appearances to the contrary, we live in a magical world. Millions of people line up to see Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter. What th ey dont suspect is that they are, in fact, living that story in th eir own realm E28093 or at least they could be, if they were to wake up and realize the need to fight the machinery of noise and lies that assaul ts us, as our planet is being reduced to a heap of smoldering slag. Now is the time to Use the Force, Join the Fellowship, pick up the broomstick, a nd generally get to work. Q. Ten years or so ago you co-founded a litera ry magazine, Open City, which is now a small publishing company that has b een written up in the New York City press as a model of successful efficie nt indie publishing. What was your impetus for being involved in this? How does your role at Open City affect or relate to your other interests and adventures? A. Out of idealism and nostalgia, I wanted to help create som ething like a post-modern version of the Beat Generation, or the Lost Gene ration. I didnt comprehend the factors E28093 economic and cul tural E28093 that would make such an endeavor impossible. Unfortunately I now find most contemporary fiction and poetry, whether conventional or “avant-garde,” unreadableE28093 it is like watching somebody slowly cl ean the drapes while their house is burning down around them. I was happy that we could publish “World on Fire,” by Michael Brownstein, a long poeti c narrative about corporate globalization and the environmental nightmare. I hope to publish similar engaged and ambitious texts in the future. But of course it is not enough simply to “sound the alarm” E28093 we have t o find a way to conceive of an achievable human future. Poets, artists, an d novelists could be key to this process, if they can overcome their abnor mal fixations on their own ego-structures. Q. In your Rolling Stone artic le, “The Fire this Time,” you highlight the amazing growth and technologic al focus of the Burning Man Festival. How do you see Burning Man in the co ntext of the ancient gatherings like the Eleusinian Mysteries? Do you thin k that the Black Rock City community can be a model for a more permanent k ind of community? A. Burning Man is the post-modern continuation of those ancient festivals E28093 it is a miraculous manifestation of the “Arch aic Revival” described by Terence McKenna. On an occult level, I almost su spect that Burning Man is creating a model, on the astral plane, for how a ll human communities will exist in the future. One amazing aspect of Burni ng Man is how the event penetrates into ones dream life E28093 after going there, I dreamt about some version of it almost every night f or many months afterwards. I know that many people have the same reaction. How could the egalitarian, freedom-oriented, cashless, utopian form of Bu rning Man be implemented in a more permanent way, or on a larger scale? I have no clue. Q. How do you see the traditions of esoteric knowledge, wes tern, eastern, and aboriginal? A. Aboriginal shamanism is the underpinni ng for all other esoteric systems. The basic model of the “World Tree” E2 8093 with spirits and gods in the branches above, demons and ghosts tang led in the roots below E28093 is universal. Built upon that foundation, we have the Eastern systems of Hinduism and Buddhism, and the Western occ ult tradition that runs from ancient Egypt and Israel through the medieval Qabalists and the Rosicrucians, up to Rudolf Steiner, Gurdjieff, Crowley, and so on. As modern Westerners, the painful fact is that we have to r eckon with our Judeo-Christian heritage. We are in an interesting moment, as the three great monotheistic religions have been revealed as shams E2 8093 Catholicism with its sex scandals, Judaism and Islam with their san ctioning of mass murder for political ends. It seems obvious that these in stitutions are spiritually bankrupt and morally bereft. Perhaps humanity h as reached a point where these top-down structures have no more utility fo r us whatsoever. I grew up as an atheist. Before writing my book, I tho ught the Bible was superstitious fakery and I despised any manifestation o f organized Christianity. It is embarrassing to admit this, but I now susp ect that Christ was exactly who he said he was, and the miracles described in the Gospels happened precisely as they are written. From my own experi ences and the stories of the many people I interviewed, I know that “mirac les” E28093 violations of the known psychical laws E28093 do in fact take place all the time. Christ could be viewed as a master shaman, seein g visions and dispensing healings. It is obvious, even if you just read th e Gospel of Mark, that Christs parables form an extraordinary eso teric teaching, which have love as their essence. For me, there is no more resonant statement today than Christs comment from the Gnostic G ospels: “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not br ing forth will destroy you.” At this time, when the world seems to be lite rally falling to pieces on many levels, we have an extraordinary opportuni ty to reclaim Christsof love, brotherhood, and direct seeking of truth E28093 no matter what the costs E28093 from the perverted wreckage of official Christianity represented by Ashcroft, B ush, and Scalia. Right now, Buddhism and Yoga are incredibly popular in the US. However, as systems of self-development, I wonder if they are appr opriate for Westerners. If you take the esoteric perspective that reincarn ation is, in some sense, a fact, then if somebody has incarnated into a We stern body, there must be a reason for that. Dion Fortune wrote that the W est has a different dharma than the East: It is our dharma to conquer dens e matter. Rudolf Steiner thought that the transformation of the earth was part of the purpose of human evolution. What we need now is a Yoga or Tant ra of social transformation, not more elaborate breathing exercises E280 93 not anything that will push us deeper into our obsession with our selv es. Tibetan Buddhism, with all of its beautiful pageants and ceremonies, was built around the revelation of emptiness. It must have struck like a thunderbolt, to be carefully initiated as a monk into that elaborate hier archical religion, and then, at a certain point, to have all of the props pulled away and learn that the nature of mind is emptiness. However, I don t think that system works in the same way for contemporary Wester ners, because we are already living right above the abyss. We need to disc over there is somthing before we can realize there is nothing, if that ma kes any sense. When I finished my book, I started to study the Qabala. I found that some of my shamanic experiences corresponded exactly to diffe rent paths on the Tree of Life. For me, this has become a valuable avenue for exploration. I also discovered the writing of Rudolf Steiner, a vision ary who had extraordinary access to the higher planes and the Akashic Reco rd, and was able to “earth” his insights by creating the Waldorf Schools a nd Biodynamic Agriculture, as well as the Anthroposophical movement. My se cret bet is that Steiner E28093 rarely studied now outside of Anthropos ophic circles E28093 is going to become the most important thinker for the Twenty-First Century, as Nietzsche was for the Twentieth. nchbeck at aol

#2638 Fri, 16 Aug 2002 01:25:31 Fri, 16 Aug 2002 01:25:30 Britney Spears to endorse Cocaine; Peeling that Onion FDA clears new narcotic based on older d By Benny from the Bronx with he lp from Israeli girl at club Float NEW YORK, Aug 15 (Snorters) – Medellin Laboratories Inc. Thursday said U.S. regulators approved its new anti-depr essant Crack, an altered form of its blockbuster Cocaine, adding to a grow ing list of ds claiming to be improved versions of their predecessors. The approval came as insurers and consumer groups have grown increasingly wary of such “new” medicines and are encouraging the use of cheaper generi c ds. Medellin licensed the ds for the U.S. market from its Danish- based partner MADAMIAMADAM, which abandoned ecstasy manufacture and went s traight to the good stuff and developed crack and already sells the newer d in several European countries under the name Smoke and Mirrors. The c ompanies want new patients and those who have failed previous therapies to start on Crack, which has longer U.S. patent protection than Cocaine, whi ch expired after Coca Cola agreed to keep it all hush hush in the early 19 00s. Shares of Medellin, which reaped more than $1 billion in the last fis cal year from Cocaine, were up $3.54, or 5.1 percent, to $73.01 in afterno on trading on the New York Coke Exchange. Clinical trials comparing the t wo show that the new d carries less risks of health problems such as na usea and dry mouth, and works more quickly than the original, especially i f freebased. But comparing the effectiveness of the two ds leaves a mur ky picture. SUPERIOR EFFECTIVENESS IN QUESTION U.S. Food and d Adminis tration spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said Crack was “similar in safety and eff icacy to Cocaine.” “While it is positive that Crack finally gained approva l, we see few differentiating features of the newer product,” said Tim Coa n, an analyst at U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. But Crack had been described as having “twice the potency” of Cocaine in literature distributed before the d’s approval and in a medical journal article on clinical trials o f the treatment. That’s because Crack contains just the wild shit. The oth er shit, included in Cocaine, does not contribute to the brain’s ability t o fuck itself up in a craven seeking for self gratification, known as “cha sing the tail.” With crack, one can actually bite one’s tail, or even gro w one like Jamie Lee Curtis. Singer and son to be Hooter girl Britney Spe ars, an aficiando of the older Cocaine, is rumoured by some PR mavens (inc luding Yasmine Bleeth’s) to be the next cover girl for a new batch of Coca ine tentatively called Truth or Consequences. But getting out of her cont ract with Coca Cola Gold may be problematic. Spears was recently spotted at the New York night club Float doing lines of Cocaine on the table, comp laining about her recent breakup with a man known only as “Justin.” It i s not known whether this predilection was the cause for her recent perform ance in Mexico. But boosted potency of a chemical does not necessarily mak e it more effective, especially since patients will take a smaller dose of the newer d, thereby eliminating the twice-as-potent effect. The Dani sh Medicines Agency Aug. 5 said the new d offered no clear advantages o ver the original. “You can’t perfectly equate potency to clinical efficacy” acknowledged Ken Goodman, Medellin president and chief operating office r. But he stuck by Medellin’s claim that Crack is more effective than Coca ine. Distinguishing “newer” from “better” is a frequent game in the pharma ceutical industry, where a host of ds similar to older medicines have h it the market in recent years. With pipelines of experimental medicines re latively dry and genetic discoveries translating slowly into new therapies many firms have resorted to tweaking old ds to make new ones. Scheri ng-Plough Corp. is trying frantically to switch patients to Smack, its new allergy d, before its U.S. patent on Mr. Brownstone, its $3-billion-a- year predecessor, expires in December. AstraZeneca hopes to get patients o n Oxycontin before it loses its U.S. monopoly over heartburn d Delaudid which reaps $6 billion a year in sales. But many health-care and consume r groups, citing the soaring costs of medical services and treatments, say some new expensive ds are no better than their precursors. Only 15 pe rcent of the 1,035 ds approved in the United States between 1989 and 20 00 were based on new molecular entities and deemed by the FDA as “providin g significant improvement over existing medicines,” a recent study found. BENEFIT SHOWN EARLY IN TREATMENT Medellin is banking on the earlier onset of action to attract physicians and patients. Many depression patients do not comply with their regimen, failing to take their prescribed d in t he first few weeks of treatment because it is not working. Crack worked a fter one or two seconds of treatment, whereas Cocaine and other ds in t he same class, known as major ass hardcore narcotics, often take several m inutes to make a difference. “Most of the current therapies are not that e ffective so you tend to get a lot of experimentation,” said analyst Corey Davis of J.P. Morgan. “If Medellin can really start to convince people tha t they’ll feel better after one second instead of after four to six minute s, especially with their snot gobbledlied up nostrums, that’s a huge advan tage in this market.” Crack could garner sales of $260 million in the fisc al year ending in March 2003, and increase in future years as Medellin mar kets the new d rather than the older one, said analyst Adam Greene of D resdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. The older d accounts for more than 80 pe rcent of MADAMIAMADAM’s total revenue and about 68 percent of Medellin’s r evenue. Ed.

Be nice to Britney – don’t f orward this out In other news… WILMINGTON, DEE28094On Monday, Sl oan Laboratories, a subsidiary of the Wilmington-based Merton Pharmaceutic als, unveiled Dexiflux-V, a new miracle d its creators claim will enabl e users to get “high as a fucking kite.” Above: Sloan Laboratories researcher Dr. Mark Kimmel examines a sample of Dexiflux-V, a new d ex pected to help countless Americans get unbelievably high. Inset: Boulder, CO, bead vendor Zach Petersen, a Dexiflux-V test subject who reported “ext raordinary results” using the d. The breakthrough d, Sloan Labora tories officials said, gives hope to millions of Americans who can no long er get high as a result of years of sustained, resistance-building narcoti cs use. Dexiflux-V, which has already won FDA approval, will be sold over- the-counter in pill form and is expected to be available nationwide as ear ly as July 1. “For years, a large segment of the U.S. population has been anxiously awaiting a bold new breakthrough in self-administered mood-enhan cing substances,” chief developer Dr. Stanley Kupferman said. “With Dexifl ux-V, that long-anticipated day has finally arrived. In clinical trials, w e administered Dexiflux-V to over 1,600 people, and, in virtually every ca se, the test subject reported being stoned out of his or her freaking gour d.” Kupferman said Dexiflux-V, which will cost just $12 for a 50-count bot tle of 100-mg tablets, has a wide range of applications, from getting hipp ies royally baked before a Dave Matthews Band concert to helping businessm en deal with the stress of a major merger, to helping homeless persons num b the pain of a life of poverty and despair. “This d has an impressive number of uses and, hence, can meet the needs of an array of consumers,” Kupferman said. “So, while its target market is the stoner, Dexiflux-V sho uld also prove popular with speed freaks, gas-huffers and hardcore basehea ds.” Test subjects have responded positively to the much-heralded miracle d. “I would definitely categorize this d as effective,” said Zach Pe tersen, 23, a Boulder, CO, bead vendor who took part in Sloan Laboratories ‘ clinical tests. “The highs I was able to achieve using Dexiflux-V far su rpassed those I previously got using other ds. In all my years of d usage, I can honestly say that I have never been so fucking high.” Fellow test subject Pete Renfro, a 26-year-old Austin, TX, convenience-store wor ker, agreed. “Dexiflux-V is some very good shit,” he said. “The results I got from it were way positive, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends, particularly Chad.” As excited as d users are about Dexiflux- V, one group is even more excited: Merton Pharmaceuticals stockholders. Th e day the d was unveiled, Merton Pharmaceuticals stock rose from 23 1/4 to 44. “I haven’t seen such a commotion over a new product since crack,” said Merton CEO and principal shareholder Gordon Bianchi, whose shares in the company have nearly doubled in value to $4.2 billion. “This truly is a wonder d.” WASHINGTON, DCE28094The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacc o, & Firearms and the Food & d Administration reached a formal trade ag reement Monday. Under the terms of the deal, the ATF will provide the FDA with alcohol, tobacco and firearms in exchange for equal value in food and ds.”My administrative assistants and I were enjoying some of our food the other day when it hit us,” FDA Commissioner Michael Friedman said. “We have tons of food lying around, and tons of ds, but nothing to drink, smoke or shoot. Then, someoneE28094I think it was [deputy commissioner] Phil [Royce]E28094suggested we call up those guys at the ATF across to wn and see what we could get. Turns out, they were ready to deal.” S aid ATF Director John Magaw, “You work up a powerful hunger dealing with al l this alcohol and tobacco. So when Michael told me he had some food and d rugs to offer, I told him to come over and help himself to whatever he lik ed, even the firearms.”In the deal, the FDA received 345,000 bottles of Ja ck Daniel’s, a quarter-million cartons of Merit Ultra Lights and 27,000 gu ns, including 4,300 Smith & Wesson .38 snub-nosed revolvers, 2,500 Glock . 380 ACP pistols, and 1,850 Colt Anaconda .44 Magnums.In return, ATF offici als were permitted to pick anything they liked from the federal fridge and national d stash. They took 190,000 packs of Oscar Mayer hot dogs, 25, 500 pints of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream, 7,200 bags of Cheetos, a half-ton of marijuana, and 300,000 kilos of pure, uncut Colombian cocai ne.Insiders report that the exchange, performed late last night at ATF hea dquarters, was “completely satisfactory to both sides.”I like a beer now and then, but I’m not much of a smoker,” FDA inspector Ed Walls said. “I’m more of a food-and-ds type of guy. But after I picked out a Coors Ligh t Party Pak, I started poking around and wound up going home with a bunch of automatic rifles and this cool grenade launcher.”This is a great day f or both agencies,” ATF Assistant Director Wilbur Karros said. “I can’t den y that some friction has always existed between us, usually on issues of j urisdictionE28094who gets what contraband, is a bottle of absinthe cons idered alcohol or dsE28094 things like that. But now that we’ve gotte n together, everyone can get all the stuff they want.” LAKE ARROWHE AD, CAE28094A ton of people up and down the coast were seriously bummin g Monday, when the d Enforcement Administration announced the seizure a nd destruction of huge quantities of seriously primo shit. Above: DEA agents destroy bales of confiscated marijuana, majorly bumming out loads o f dudes all over. According to a DEA spokesman, more than 16,000 pounds of marijuanaE28094with a street value of, shit, practically $70 millio n or somthingE28094was destroyed in the bust, the largest illegal-crop confiscation by the federal government in a hell of a long time.DEA agent s uncovered the kind bud on a 60-acre farm five miles north of Lake Arrowh ead.”In terms of sheer numbers, this was by far the largest growing operat ion we’ve seen this decade,” said DEA agent Donald Krujcek, who supervised the way-uncool burning of all that primo weed.Discovered during a DEA hel icopter surveillance sweep last week, the killer stash had previously gone undetected by authorities due to its totally sweet set-up at this awesome location in a remote section of the San Bernardino National Forest, where nobody had any freakin’ idea where it was.After discovering the plantsE2 8094reportedly some of the finest domestically grown bud anyone’s been a ble to get their hands on in, like, foreverE28094a team of 50 federal a uthorities surrounded the area and totally put the kibosh on the whole dea l.More than two dozen DEA agents were airlifted in for the operation, caus ing serious hassles for the reported eight to ten people who had been grow ing the primo crop and who must have split the scene or somthing when the y heard the choppers coming to get their asses.As of press time, no arrest s have been made, knock on wood, dude.”We are making headway in the ongoin g war on ds, but there’s no doubt we’re fighting an uphill battle,” sai d DEA agent Thomas Vineland, who assisted in the seriously bummer bust. “D espite increasingly stiff anti-d legislation, marijuana is still Califo rnia’s number one cash crop, and revenues from the illegal harvest and sal e of the d climb higher every year. We do what we can, but the sad fact is, many citizens simply do not see marijuana as a dangerous narcotic. Re gardless of our efforts to stop it, the illegal marijuana trade will conti nue to thrive, so long as the high commercial demand persists for high-gra de cannabis like we incinerated today.”Citizens throughout the Lake Arrowh ead area responded to Vineland’s remarks with a slapping-the-forehead gest ure, coupled with remarks along the lines of, “Well, duh, no shit, Sherloc k.”Lake Arrowhead police officials, the fuckers, said the seized crop was so large that 25 additional deputies needed to be called in to provide ass istance. But even with the extra manpower, the pigs said, the confiscation and incineration of the beautiful, healthy green plantsE28094which coul d have gotten so many people high, man, instead of just being, like, freak in’ wasted for no good reason at allE28094took nearly two full days.It is not known at this time exactly what kind of shit the shit was. Reports, however, indicate it may have been No Cal Karma-Groove, Stickyleaf Gold, Uncle Ephraim’s Sweet Summer Surprise, or even the highly coveted, hard-to -find Muchacha Holy Mama Hallelujah hyper-hybrid, the 1998 winner of High ‘N Mighty magazine’s prestigious Homegrown Award. Above: A DEA age nt displays one of the many beautifully manicured dope plants that were to tally destroyed last weekend. After cutting down the illegal crop and, l ike, totally ruining the whole thing for everyone, police transported the seized marijuana to a federal incineration site 10 miles northeast of Lake Arrowhead, where it was totally torched without mercy, putting a whole lo t of people in a seriously down mood and ruining the entire weekend for a ton of folks throughout the area.”It’s a real shame to see that much serio us sticky-ass green just go up in flames, man. Talk about a buzz-kill,” sa id Rick Vance, a local resident and hiking enthusiast who mostly just, you know, hangs out and enjoys nature most of the time. “I was there to see i t all go up and, I gotta tell you, it was one sad day when they burned tha t shit.”More than 300 people turned out to witness the incineration, mourn ing the loss of all that perfectly good green with poetry readings, acoust ic-guitar singalongs, interpretive-dance grief-management rituals, and a c andlelight vigil that lasted well into the night. With the exception of po lice officers’ refusal to let people stand downwind of the enormous cannab is bonfire, the gathering was not marred by any major hassles, but it was still a real downer.”Dude, you don’t even know how much I’d love to just s tand right in the middle of that huge column of smoke and, like, flip the bird at all those feds and just groove, man,” said one man who asked not t o be identified. “That’d be so awesome.”Wow, man,” agreed local macrame a rtist Beth Anne Costa, who recently hitchhiked to the region to just take some time off from school and kind of get her head together and shit. “Jus t imagine if you smoked all that shit all by yourself. You’d be, like, so wasted, I bet.”Costa and an unidentified male companion then launched into a rambling account of this one time they and these other dudes were in Ha waii and saw, like, 40 huge garbage bags full of the most incredible stuff like, ever, period, that’s it man, eventually trailing off into incohere nce before deciding to go maybe get a bite to eat someplace.According to D EA statistics, the organization destroys more than two million pounds of m arijuana a year in California alone, which is, like, who the hell even kno ws how many bowls.”That’s so sad, man,” said local resident Bob “Midnight Toker” Roker. “I mean, shit, that’s just a crime.” LANGLEY, VAE2 8094After months of eager anticipation within the nation’s ghetto commun ities, the Central Intelligence Agency unveiled its 1998 line of addictive ds Monday. 1) Blue Glass Type: Euphoric mthod: Smoked Effects: Fe elings of extreme optimism and happiness; greatly enhanced reflexes; senso ry and sexual pleasure; visual acuity. Immediately followed by semi-perman ent suicidal catatonia. Duration: Five minutes Cost: $1 per hit 2) Brainscratch Type: Hallucinogen mthod: Dropped into eye Effects: Reaches visual cortex in seconds, producing terrifying hallucinations. Test subjec ts report loss of identity and feelings of total dislocation from human wo rld. Duration: Ten hours to several years Cost: $2 per dose 3) Zom- B Type: Narcotic mthod: Injected Effects: Stuporous mental coma, yet user’ s motor functions are involuntarily stimulated. Possible side effects may include walking off bridges or into oncoming trains. Duration: Fifteen to twenty hours Cost: $3 per fix 4) Spike Type: Stimulant mthod: Ing ested as pill Effects: Rush of physical strength, invulnerability to pain, and sociopathic impulses. Originally developed by Pentagon as combat d. Duration: Two hours Cost: $5 for 15 pills “The wait is over,” CIA Director John Deutch said at the festive d launch, simulcast on giant-s creen TVs throughout Watts, Cabrini Green, Newark, and other urban areas. “Inner-city Americans now have four exciting new ways to narcotize themsel ves, with the quality of product and wide distribution they’ve come to exp ect from the CIA.”Reaction to the new ds (see sidebar) was overwhelming ly positive. “They had a tough act to follow after crack,” said New York-a rea Mafia boss Alfonse DiBiasi, Deutch’s close friend and former college r oommate. “But this new stuff is just as cheap and every bit as addictive. We’re all very excited.”President Clinton praised the CIA as well. “This i s a win-win situation for all Americans,” he said. “Inner-city Americans w ill receive the powerful ds they love, and the CIA will raise the funds they can’t get from Congress to get their Jonestown mind-control experime nt up and running again.”The new ds are supported by months of CIA test ing to ensure maximum potency and addictiveness. Focus groups, consisting primarily of homeless men and street orphans culled from ghettos around the country, were housed in an underground research facility beneath CIA hea dquarters in Langley, VA. Only after six months of exhaustive experimentat ion on members of this target demograph, who sampled hundreds of ds, we re the final decisions made.”Everybody loves me because I am so beautiful. Anything is possible. I am going to live a very long and happy life,” sai d Oakland, CA, native Charles Simmons, who spent 10 weeks testing Blue Gla ss, the CIA’s new smokable euphoric d. Simmons then leapt out a window to his death.”I they I ds these are very feel good right,” said Dwayne Woodson of Bronx, NY, another CIA test participant. “Pork chops three for $2.99.” Above: A Detroit man injects an advance sample of Zom-B. CIA o fficials expect the new d to be even more popular than crack. CIA o fficials said that testing is necessary in order to avoid releasing potent ially dangerous substances into the ghettos. “One initially promising d was later discontinued due to undesirable side effects, such as increased intelligence and feelings of love for others,” said Dr. Harold Vandermeer head of the CIA’s narcotics development team.Initial product rollout beg an this week in the ghetto neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Detroit and New O rleans, with all residents receiving a special d-sampler pack in the ma il, including a full-color, English-Spanish promotional pamphlet and instr uctional videotape. If the market response is as favorable as the CIA expe cts, the ds should be available in every ghetto in the nation as soon a s August 1.”I thought I’d never say this,” Deutch said, “but put down that crack pipe, ghetto-dwellers: You’re going to love these new ds.”Deutch went on to state that none of the above events “ever happened” and catego rically denied any CIA connection with the new ds. ic based on older d NEW YORK, Aug 15 (Snorters) – Medellin Laboratories Inc. Thursday sa id U.S. regulators approved its new anti-depressant Crack, an altered form of its blockbuster Cocaine, adding to a growing list of ds claiming to b e improved versions of their predecessors.

Dexiflux-V, which has already won FDA approval, will be sold over-the-cou nter in pill form and is expected to be available nationwide as early as Ju ly 1. “For years, a large segment of the U.S. population has been anxiously awaiting a bold new breakthrough in self-administered mood-enhanc ing substances,” chief developer Dr. Stanley Kupferman said. “With Dexiflux -V, that long-anticipated day has finally arrived. In clinical trials, we a dministered Dexiflux-V to over 1,600 people, and, in virtually every case, the test subject reported being stoned out of his or her freaking gourd.”B R Kupferman said Dexiflux-V, which will cost just $12 for a 50-count bottle of 100-mg tablets, has a wide range of applications, from getting hi ppies royally baked before a Dave Matthews Band concert to helping business men deal with the stress of a major merger, to helping homeless persons num b the pain of a life of poverty and despair. “This d has an imp ressive number of uses and, hence, can meet the needs of an array of consum ers,” Kupferman said. “So, while its target market is the stoner, Dexiflux- V should also prove popular with speed freaks, gas-huffers and hardcore bas eheads.” Test subjects have responded positively to the much-heral ded miracle d. “I would definitely categorize this d as effe ctive,” said Zach Petersen, 23, a Boulder, CO, bead vendor who took part in Sloan Laboratories’ clinical tests. “The highs I was able to achieve using Dexiflux-V far surpassed those I previously got using other ds. In all my years of d usage, I can honestly say that I have never been so fuckin g high.” Fellow test subject Pete Renfro, a 26-year-old Austin, TX convenience-store worker, agreed. “Dexiflux-V is some very good shit,” he said. “The results I got from it were way positive, and I would not hesita te to recommend it to friends, particularly Chad.” As excited as d rug users are about Dexiflux-V, one group is even more excited: Merton Phar maceuticals stockholders. The day the d was unveiled, Merton Pharmaceuti cals stock rose from 23 1/4 to 44. “I haven’t seen such a commotio n over a new product since crack,” said Merton CEO and principal shareholde r Gordon Bianchi, whose shares in the company have nearly doubled in value to $4.2 billion. “This truly is a wonder d.” WASHINGTON, DCE28094The Bu reau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms and the Food & d Administra tion reached a formal trade agreement Monday. Under the terms of the deal, the ATF will provide the FDA with alcohol, tobacco and firearms in exchange for equal value in food and ds.”My administrative assistants and I were enjoying some of our food the other day when it hit us,” FDA Commissioner Michael Friedman said. “We have tons of food lying around, and tons of d s, but nothing to drink, smoke or shoot. Then, someoneE28094I think it w as [deputy commissioner] Phil [Royce]E28094suggested we call up those gu ys at the ATF across town and see what we could get. Turns out, they were r Said ATF Director John Magaw, “You work up a powerf ul hunger dealing with all this alcohol and tobacco. So when Michael told m e he had some food and ds to offer, I told him to come over and help him self to whatever he liked, even the firearms.”In the deal, the FDA received 345,000 bottles of Jack Daniel’s, a quarter-million cartons of Merit Ultra Lights and 27,000 guns, including 4,300 Smith & Wesson .38 snub-nosed revolvers, 2,500 Glock .380 ACP pistols, and 1,850 Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum s.In return, ATF officials were permitted to pick anything they liked from the federal fridge and national d stash. They took 190,000 packs of Osca r Mayer hot dogs, 25,500 pints of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream 7,200 bags of Cheetos, a half-ton of marijuana, and 300,000 kilos of pure uncut Colombian cocaine.Insiders report that the exchange, performed late last night at ATF headquarters, was “completely satisfactory to both sides .”I like a beer now and then, but I’m not much of a smoker,” FDA inspector Ed Walls said. “I’m more of a food-and-ds type of guy. But after I pick ed out a Coors Light Party Pak, I started poking around and wound up going home with a bunch of automatic rifles and this cool grenade launcher.”This is a great day for both agencies,” ATF Assistant Director Wilbur Karros sa id. “I can’t deny that some friction has always existed between us, usually on issues of jurisdictionE28094who gets what contraband, is a bottle of absinthe considered alcohol or dsE28094things like that. But now tha t we’ve gotten together, everyone can get all the stuff they want.” LAKE ARROWHEAD, CAE28094A ton of people up and down the coast were seriously bumming Mo nday, when the d Enforcement Administration announced the seizure and de Above: DEA agents dest roy bales of confiscated marijuana, majorly bumming out loads of dudes all over. According to a DEA spokesman, more than 16,000 pounds of mari juanaE28094with a street value of, shit, practically $70 million or some thingE28094was destroyed in the bust, the largest illegal-crop confiscat ion by the federal government in a hell of a long time.DEA agents uncovered the kind bud on a 60-acre farm five miles north of Lake Arrowhead.”In term s of sheer numbers, this was by far the largest growing operation we’ve see n this decade,” said DEA agent Donald Krujcek, who supervised the way-uncoo l burning of all that primo weed.Discovered during a DEA helicopter surveil lance sweep last week, the killer stash had previously gone undetected by a uthorities due to its totally sweet set-up at this awesome location in a re mote section of the San Bernardino National Forest, where nobody had any fr eakin’ idea where it was.After discovering the plantsE28094reportedly so me of the finest domestically grown bud anyone’s been able to get their han ds on in, like, foreverE28094a team of 50 federal authorities surrounded the area and totally put the kibosh on the whole deal.More than two dozen DEA agents were airlifted in for the operation, causing serious hassles for the reported eight to ten people who had been growing the primo crop and w ho must have split the scene or somthing when they heard the choppers comi ng to get their asses.As of press time, no arrests have been made, knock on wood, dude.”We are making headway in the ongoing war on ds, but there’s no doubt we’re fighting an uphill battle,” said DEA agent Thomas Vineland, who assisted in the seriously bummer bust. “Despite increasingly stiff ant i-d legislation, marijuana is still California’s number one cash crop, a nd revenues from the illegal harvest and sale of the d climb higher ever y year. We do what we can, but the sad fact is, many citizens simply do not see marijuana as a dangerous narcotic. Regardless of our efforts to stop i t, the illegal marijuana trade will continue to thrive, so long as the high commercial demand persists for high-grade cannabis like we incinerated tod ay.”Citizens throughout the Lake Arrowhead area responded to Vineland’s rem arks with a slapping-the-forehead gesture, coupled with remarks along the l ines of, “Well, duh, no shit, Sherlock.”Lake Arrowhead police officials, th e fuckers, said the seized crop was so large that 25 additional deputies ne eded to be called in to provide assistance. But even with the extra manpowe r, the pigs said, the confiscation and incineration of the beautiful, healt hy green plantsE28094which could have gotten so many people high, man, i nstead of just being, like, freakin’ wasted for no good reason at allE280 94took nearly two full days.It is not known at this time exactly what kind of shit the shit was.

After cuttin g down the illegal crop and, like, totally ruining the whole thing for ever yone, police transported the seized marijuana to a federal incineration sit e 10 miles northeast of Lake Arrowhead, where it was totally torched withou t mercy, putting a whole lot of people in a seriously down mood and ruining the entire weekend for a ton of folks throughout the area.”It’s a real sha me to see that much serious sticky-ass green just go up in flames, man. Tal k about a buzz-kill,” said Rick Vance, a local resident and hiking enthusia st who mostly just, you know, hangs out and enjoys nature most of the time. “I was there to see it all go up and, I gotta tell you, it was one sad day when they burned that shit.”More than 300 people turned out to witness the incineration, mourning the loss of all that perfectly good green with poet ry readings, acoustic-guitar singalongs, interpretive-dance grief-managemen t rituals, and a candlelight vigil that lasted well into the night. With th e exception of police officers’ refusal to let people stand downwind of the enormous cannabis bonfire, the gathering was not marred by any major hassl es, but it was still a real downer.”Dude, you don’t even know how much I’d love to just stand right in the middle of that huge column of smoke and, li ke, flip the bird at all those feds and just groove, man,” said one man who asked not to be identified. “That’d be so awesome.”Wow, man,” agreed loca l macrame artist Beth Anne Costa, who recently hitchhiked to the region to just take some time off from school and kind of get her head together and s hit. “Just imagine if you smoked all that shit all by yourself. You’d be, l ike, so wasted, I bet.”Costa and an unidentified male companion then launch ed into a rambling account of this one time they and these other dudes were in Hawaii and saw, like, 40 huge garbage bags full of the most incredible stuff, like, ever, period, that’s it man, eventually trailing off into inco herence before deciding to go maybe get a bite to eat someplace.According t o DEA statistics, the organization destroys more than two million pounds of marijuana a year in California alone, which is, like, who the hell even kn ows how many bowls.”That’s so sad, man,” said local resident Bob “Midnight Toker” Roker. “I mean, shit, that’s just a crime.” I LANGLEY, VAE28094After months of eager anticipation within the nation’s ghetto communities, thentral Intelligence Agency unveiled its 1998 line of addictive ds Monday. 1) Blue Glass Type:/ BEuphoric mthod: Smoked Effects: Feelings of extre me optimism and happiness; greatly enhanced reflexes; sensory and sexual pl easure; visual acuity.

We’re all very excited.”President Clinton praised the CIA as well. “This is a win-win situ ation for all Americans,” he said. “Inner-city Americans will receive the p owerful ds they love, and the CIA will raise the funds they can’t get fr om Congress to get their Jonestown mind-control experiment up and running a gain.”The new ds are supported by months of CIA testing to ensure maximu m potency and addictiveness.

CIA officials said that testing is nece ssary in order to avoid releasing potentially dangerous substances into the ghettos. “One initially promising d was later discontinued due to undes irable side effects, such as increased intelligence and feelings of love fo r others,” said Dr. Harold Vandermeer, head of the CIA’s narcotics developm ent team.Initial product rollout began this week in the ghetto neighborhood s of Los Angeles, Detroit and New Orleans, with all residents receiving a s pecial d-sampler pack in the mail, including a full-color, English-Spani sh promotional pamphlet and instructional videotape.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes.

All of that begins to change with second-tier thinking. Because second-tier consciousness is fully aware of the interior stages of developmenteven if it cannot articulate them in a technical fashionit steps back and grasps the big picture, and thus second-tier thinking appreciates the necessary role that all of the various memes play . Second-tier awareness thinks in terms of the overall spiral of existence, and not merely in the terms of any one level. Where the green meme begins to grasp the numerous different systems and pluralistic contexts that exist in different cultures (which is why it is indeed the sensitive self, i.e., sensitive to the marginalization of others), second-tier thinking goes one step further. It looks for the rich contexts that link and join these pluralistic systems, and thus it takes these separate systems and begins to embrace, include, and integrate them into holistic spirals and integral meshworks. Second-tier thinking, in other words, is instrumental in moving from relativism to holism, or from pluralism to integralism . The extensive research of Graves, Beck, and Cowan indicates that there are at least two major waves to this second-tier integral consciousness: 7. Yellow: Integrative . Life is a kaleidoscope of natural hierarchies [holarchies], systems, and forms. Flexibility, spontaneity, and functionality have the highest priority. Differences and pluralities can be integrated into interdependent, natural flows. Egalitarianism is complemented with natural degrees of ranking and excellence. Knowledge and competency should supersede power, status, or group sensitivity. The prevailing world order is the result of the existence of different levels of reality (memes) and the inevitable patterns of movement up and down the dynamic spiral. Good governance facilitates the emergence of entities through the levels of increasing complexity (nested hierarchy). 1% of the population, 5% of the power. 8. Turquoise: Holistic . Universal holistic system, holons/waves of integrative energies; unites feeling with knowledge; multiple levels interwoven into one conscious system. Universal order, but in a living, conscious fashion, not based on external rules (blue) or group bonds (green). A “grand unification” [a “theory of everything” or T.O.E.] is possible, in theory and in actuality. Sometimes involves the emergence of a new spirituality as a meshwork of all existence. Turquoise thinking uses the entire Spiral; sees multiple levels of interaction; detects harmonics, the mystical forces, and the pervasive flow-states that permeate any organization. 0.1% of the population, 1% of the power. With less than 2 percent of the population at second-tier thinking (and only 0.1 percent at turquoise), second-tier consciousness is relatively rare because it is now the “leading-edge” of collective human evolution. As examples, Beck and Cowan mention items that include Teilhard de Chardin’s noosphere, chaos and complexity theories, universal systems thinking, integral-holistic theories, Gandhi’s and Mandela’s pluralistic integration, with increases in frequency definitely on the way, and even higher memes still in the offing….

#2640 Fri, 16 Aug 2002 01:21:49 Fri, 16 Aug 2002 01:21:49 Subject:Owe Money? Smoke reefer? Now you’re set. Owe someone money? now you have an excuse..Cannabis in brain extinguishes unwanted memories (really) Natural high helps banish bad memories 19:00 31 July 02 Special Report from New Scientist web newscientist/inprintPrint Edition The body’s own versions of the active ingredient of cannabis could help extinguish unwanted memories, work in mice suggests. Marijuana has been used medicinally for thousands of years, and people with certain psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia are more likely to smoke pot than healthy people. The active chemical in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, binds to the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, which are known to be linked to pain sensations, emotion and movement. And in the past decade, researchers have identified chemicals made within the brain that are similar to THC. Now Beat Lutz at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich and his team have found that these cannabinoids play an important role in getting rid of unwanted memories in mice. The finding could lead to new treatments for people who have related mental conditions. “We could understand the problem of phobia or post-traumatic stress disorder by investigation of this cannabinoid system,” says Lutz. Neuroscientist Daniele Piomelli at the University of California, Irvine, says: “It’s an important paper. It’s going to have a big impact in the field.” Freezing with fear The researchers genetically engineered mice so that they lacked a particular type of cannabinoid receptor called CB1. These are normally found in the amygdala, a brain region associated with fear. They then conditioned the mice, as well as their normal litter mates, to associate a particular musical tone with an electric shock. Both groups of mice quickly learned the association, freezing with fear whenever they heard the tone. A week later, the mice were repeatedly exposed to tones but without the associated electric shock. The normal mice soon shed their fear response, but the modified mice still showed fear 11 days later. The researchers found that the modified mice eventually suppressed the bad memories, but it took them about six times longer than the normal mice. Lutz’s group also showed that blocking CB1 receptors in the normal mice meant they were unable to stamp out the negative association. New treatments The team later studied the mice’s amygdalae, and confirmed that animals who were now unlearning the unpleasant association had significantly higher levels of two major cannabinoids – anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol – than those who’d never been trained. This suggests that these chemicals help wipe out bad memories by binding to CB1 receptors. The findings give a new lead for research into treatments for conditions such as phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder. But Lutz points out that marijuana itself is too blunt an instrument to be a potential treatment, because it activates all the brain’s cannabinoid receptors at once.

Now in other news… The National Institute of Health released the results of a controversial new study today, one that links the d marijuana to sitting around and getting high. The study, a comprehensive five-year survey of d use among Americans, also suggests a possible connection between marijuana and getting baked off your ass. Aside from its uses in making cloth, providing life-saving medicine and constructing rope, the cannabis plant has also been found to get you stoned off your ass. “We have found that where there’s marijuana,” explained Institute spokesperson Roger Krell, “there’s also a good chance of finding stoners on a couch passing around a bong.” Krell added that in such situations, “There is also a strong likelihood of finding incense, a TV, and some chips, usually Ruffles.”Krell would neither confirm nor deny the alleged link between marijuana and Pink Floyd’s The Wall. He would confirm, however, that the album rules. “There is some seriously fucked-up shit on that album,” he said. “Especially side two. Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb…”Marijuana, or “pot,” as it is called on the street, is a harmless d that helps you relax and feel mellow. Its only known side-effects are occasional uncontrollable laughter and mild hunger, or “the munchies.”Not everyone agrees with the survey’s findings. “Getting high is the least of marijuana’s uses,” said Matt Henner, President of Hemp For Victory and a total pothead. “The ancient Egyptians used hemp to build the pyramids. In the 1930s, the WPA used it to construct bridges and dams. Today it is used for medicine and as a non-polluting alternative to gasoline.” Henner then admitted he was “wasted beyond belief.” According to experts, d use among 15-24 year olds is cool. “That’s really the cool age to do ds,” said U.S. d Czar Bertrand Seaver. “When you’re young, that’s the thing to do. In fact, studies show that teenagers who smoke pot are far more likely to be accepted by the in-crowd.”While d use among young people is cool, experts say older people who still do ds are losers. “A young person who does ds is healthy and normal,” said Harvard sociologist Beth Henterpen. “But if a guy’s like 45, and he’s still getting high, it’s like, ‘Get a life!'”Marijuana also has been proven to have the wonderful side-effect of enhanced sexual sensations, enabling some users to achieve transcendental states of erotic bliss. The study found that this link, however, was severely limited in many subjects because they had, due to sitting around all the time, never actually met members of the opposite sex. “But if they did,” said Krell, “then it’d be amazing.”So far, the study has met with formal protest by only two groups. The Alabama-based Center for the Christian Family, claimed the findings to be terribly inaccurate, noting marijuana’s ability to “make users think they can fly and jump out of buildings, like on Quincy, as well as its tendency to induce demon possession, homicidal rampages, and homosexuality.”Another group to object to the study was California rapping group Cypress Hill. “Marijuana’s not linked to sitting around, man… It’s linked to cruising the Barrio with a 40 and a 12 gauge, blowing pendejos away,” said group member DJ Muggs. “Hand onna The body’s own versions of the active ingredient of cannabis could help extinguish unwanted memories, work in mice suggests. Marijuana has been used medicinally for thousands of years, and people with certain psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia are more likely to smoke pot than healthy people. The active chemical in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, binds to the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, which are known to be linked to pain sensations, emotion and movement. And in the past decade, researchers have identified chemicals made within the brain that are similar to THC. Now Beat Lutz at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich and his team have found that these cannabinoids play an important role in getting rid of unwanted memories in mice. The finding could lead to new treatments for people who have related mental conditions. “We could understand the problem of phobia or post-traumatic stress disorder by investigation of this cannabinoid system,” says Lutz. Neuroscientist Daniele Piomelli at the University of California, Irvine, says: “It’s an important paper. It’s going to have a big impact in the field.” Freezing with fear The researchers genetically engineered mice so that they lacked a particular type of cannabinoid receptor called CB1. These are normally found in the amygdala, a brain region associated with fear. They then conditioned the mice, as well as their normal litter mates, to associate a particular musical tone with an electric shock. Both groups of mice quickly learned the association, freezing with fear whenever they heard the tone. A week later, the mice were repeatedly exposed to tones but without the associated electric shock. The normal mice soon shed their fear response, but the modified mice still showed fear 11 days later. The researchers found that the modified mice eventually suppressed the bad memories, but it took them about six times longer than the normal mice. Lutz’s group also showed that blocking CB1 receptors in the normal mice meant they were unable to stamp out the negative association. New treatments The team later studied the mice’s amygdalae, and confirmed that animals who were now unlearning the unpleasant association had significantly higher levels of two major cannabinoids – anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol – than those who’d never been trained. This suggests that these chemicals help wipe out bad memories by binding to CB1 receptors. The findings give a new lead for research into treatments for conditions such as phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder. But Lutz points out that marijuana itself is too blunt an instrument to be a potential treatment, because it activates all the brain’s cannabinoid receptors at once.

French Rave Organizers Put Speakers in Italy to Avoid the Law 2002-08-16 08:28 (New York)Col de Larche, France, Aug. 16| Bloomberg France’s biggest annual rave is beginning today in spite of attempts by French police to prevent it from happening, the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper and the British Broadcasting Corp. reported. Organizers of the unauthorized three-day music event hope to escape prosecution by installing loudspeakers 200 meters (220 yards) across an unfenced border with Italy, the Guardian said. Under a new French law, raves involving more than 250 people must be approved by the local authorities at least one month in advance or the sound systems may be confiscated. French police have no authority to seize music systems outside France. This year’s event, known as Teknival, is taking place on the Alpine Col de Larche mountainside, which straddles the Franco- Italian border. About 5,000 revelers have so far arrived and organizers expect another 20,000 over the weekend, Reuters said. ‘It was the only way to make sure we wouldn’t be harassed,’ the Guardian cited an unidentified organizer as saying in reference to the positioning of the speakers. ‘This is one of the highlights of a lot of people’s summers and, whatever we think of the new law, we couldn’t afford to let them down.’ French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told local authorities last month that the new law must be enforced. Last Friday, 120 armed riot police broke up an open-air rave in the Ardeche, evicting 700 partygoers from the site, confiscating sound equipment and arresting the two organizers, the Guardian reported. No such tactics have taken place at Col de Larche. Police retreated after initial clashes with ravers when one officer was struck on the head by a thrown stone, the BBC said. France has a thriving rave scene with 700 parties a year, the Guardian said. The new law is so vague it effectively allows councils to ban raves altogether, the Guardian cited Jean-Marc Priez of a rave association as saying. There is concern about the widespread use of illicit ds at raves, hygiene conditions and the mess created, the Guardian said. Support came from one quarter. Raves are ‘necessary, jubilatory, primeval dance occasions; guerrilla operations that liberate a temporary zone of anarchy and then dissolve before they can be crushed, only to reform elsewhere in time and space,’ the Guardian cited philosopher Hakim Bey as saying.

Determined to dodge a draconian new law th at allows the local authorities to close unauthorised music festivals, pro secute the organisers and seize the equipment on the site, this year’s gia nt three-day Teknival will go ahead on a mountainside in Haute Provence. B ut the music for the peripatetic event, which each summer draws more than 25,000 fans from around Europe for three uninterrupted days of open-air te chno, will blast out from loudspeakers installed a safe 200 metres across the unfenced border with Italy. “It was the only way to make sure we would n’t be harassed,” one of the organisers said. “This is one of the highligh ts of a lot of people’s summers, and whatever we think of the new law we c ouldn’t afford to let them down.” Local officials were unimpressed. “If th ey want to show their sense of responsibility, they’ve chosen the wrong pl ace,” said StE9phane Rouve, the deputy prefect of the Alpes de Haute Prov ence region. “Two thousand metres up a mountain is not the ideal place for a rave.” Earlier, hundreds of partygoers made their feelings about the le gislation plain by organising slow-moving convoys of cars and vans on the A7 and A43 motorways to the south, causing tailbacks adding up to nearly 5 0 miles. The pre-dawn announcement of the ravers’ final destination, the C ol de Larche near Barcelonette, was made after a string of misleading webs ite announcements and fake mobile phone calls aimed at outwitting the seve ral hundred police on the event’s trail. But the now-traditional game with the French authorities was played for higher stakes this year. The interi or minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, told councils last month that the law must b e strictly applied. Last Friday 120 armed CRS riot police broke up a small open-air techno party in the ArdE8che, forcibly evicting the 700 partygo ers from the site, confiscating all the sound equipment and arresting the two organisers, who now face fines of up to A310,000 each. France’s thriv ing open-air rave scene, provided by 70 sound systems responsible for an a verage 700 parties a year, has reacted furiously, describing it as “arbitr ary censorship” and “neo-fascist electronic discrimination”. Jean-Marc Pri ez of the Techno-plus Association said the law – which requires the organi sers of any open-air party bringing together more than 250 people to get p ermission from the local authorities – is so vague that it effectively all ows councils to ban raves altogether. “Almost all rave organisers who have tried to play it by the book and ask for permission have been refused,” h e said. The ravers have some powerful allies. Jack Lang, the former Social ist culture minister, has called for a meeting of all parties concerned, c riticising the centre-right government’s “anti-youth policies”. The phenom enon has even won over the intellectuals. The philosopher Hakim Bey says r aves are “necessary, jubilatory, primeval dance occasions; guerrilla opera tions that liberate a temporary zone of anarchy and then dissolve before t hey can be crushed, only to reform elsewhere in time and space”. But so fa r, despite an offer by Mr Sarkozy this week to meet “organisers willing to respect the law”, ravers’ protests have been outweighed by the growing an ger of residents at the mess they leave behind, and official concern about the widespread illicit d use and often appalling hygiene conditions.

He threatened to confiscate the sound system. meanwhile people stayed. then saturday, a lawyer- one of the attendees, a would be dancer, drafted a document concerning a certain organization called the Sacred Dance Society- an established 501c3 non-profit corporation whose mission is the facilitation of sacred dance to amplified music with a regular beat having shamanistic qualities- i.e. trance. so then every person had to walk out of the gate of the property onto the road, and the Fusion event was “cancelled” officially. then we all lined up to sign this document stating that we were already members of or hereby joining the Sacred Dance Society- and then we all went back inside. Then, an hour or so later- when the energy had built up the most- the sound system came on- 15 kilowatts of Absolum for 6 hours- followed by Dimitri until about 9am. then it stopped again- i guess despite our having gotten ‘Religion’ and all its protections- there was somthing cop-fear related… which seemed fine to most people- who were done – so we just swam in the river and chilled out and drove back to wherever we came from… people really”

Scientists: Alcohol Makes Others Better-Looking ‘The ‘Beer-Goggle Effect’ Does Actually Exist’ Reuters LONDON (Aug 20) – Want to be more attractive? then make sure those around you are having a drink. British scientists have found even modest amounts of alcohol will make the opposite sex appear better-looking. “We have carried out experiments which show that what is known in the trade as the ‘beer-goggle effect’ does actually exist,” Barry Jones, professor of psychology at Glasgow University, told Reuters on Monday. The study of 120 male and female students found drinking up to four units of alcohol about two pints (one litre) of beer or four glasses of wine increased the perceived attractiveness of members of the opposite sex by about 25 percent. Jones said alcohol apparently stimulates a part of the brain called the nucleus accumbens, which judges facial attractiveness. “There is a strong link between facial attractiveness and signals about the quality of a potential mate,” Jones said. The professor said the study had been prompted by the causal link between risky sex and alcohol consumption. Its findings come at a time when young Britons are increasingly binge drinking, which has serious health risks.

More on aumkara later, though… In addition to the phenomenal live audio set the fellas do, they come equipped with more eye candy than the love children of the Cirque du Soleil and Muppet casts: they travel with an ethnic percussionist…belly dancers…fire twirlers…avant garde performance artists… all of which, even in their greatness, bow to the seductive power the Digital Orgasm Theatre: the fully interactive, audio- and midi-responsive,audience participation-driven, live video feedback playground. There is NO ONE doing the things with sound and vision that they are (if you know someone who is – I’d kiss toes to meet them), and any opportunity you get to see them in action is highly encouraged. Okay, so enough proselytizing, right? I promise that not all of my contributions will seem like a marketing ploy… it’s the curse of an involved member of any community, I suppose, to always sound like they’re selling (when it’s really sharing) their community… goa bless the internet for allowing me to find yours. I look forward to seeing what is all you’re all sharing.

#2661 Mon, 26 Aug 2002 15:33:59 Mon, 26 Aug 2002 15:33:59 Disco Biscuits Review by the mad trance warrior I normally don’t post reviews but this one is a doozy. After I read this I have to ask, What am I doing wrong? i just came back from camp bisco this weekend. i got to meet my maker friday night it was the one best experience with my Love. the largest i have ever … easily fucked over 100 times. it burned out my mouth. right through my tongue, the hole in my tongue gave way to flames which scorched my mind. i took off right before the disco biscuits came on, although i never really left the first two rows of the stage. one of my friends never said hello (until i did later) to me because she thought i was a bright beam of light. there was a lot of weird (like evil vibes going around that place)((lots of free baseballin’, and general weird chicago freaks)) at one point i was looking at some really nice glass from ithaca at the vendors area (for about 3 hours) and i turned around and i imagined little mexican dwarf cavemen running around with clubs bashing peoples heads in. others got smashed in by rocks. my brain always lets me know when i’ve had too much by showing me what i’ve done. i also lost my favorite black shrowd on friday night, which im very upset about. but other than those two minor setbacks early on i was more than fine 😉 i remeber (very little from like 4 hours) holding my fingers in front of my eyes and touching each one to my thumb over and over creating a wave like patter in my vision. pinky to fourfinger then start over at pinky. [i deffinitely freaked out some squares] i remember one song from second set, voices insane. i told the bassplayer later that i heard the voices. my best guestimate for friday is around 130… it was sooooo nice… i didnt want to leave i eventually did that space place after about 13 hours to about 75 more which didnt get me there, but that’s okay. everything i took was given to me. sat. night four different people came up to me and gave to me (3 of which i didnt know)…

#2662 Tue, 27 Aug 2002 12:42:46 Tue, 27 Aug 2002 12:42:45 Excellent article on trance from Japan Times Trance music: Taking it to the next level Get out of the clubs, into the hills and free your mind By TOM BOJKO Special to The Japan Times When deep into the music at a trance party, most people dance a sort of mechanized primal stomp, working their arms like pistons and clomping their feet. Although these maneuvers may look awkward, they are a natural reaction to the music’s rigidly 4/4 industrial-sounding beats, which, though sublime to the dancers, may sound to the untrained ear like anything from rotating chopper blades to the repetitive clatter of a machine shop. Atop these beats are layered morphing sonic curlicues of all sorts, and if the hard beats of trance music provide dancers with an anchor, the top end of the music can, under the right conditions, facilitate an intense psychedelic experience. The Solstice Music Festival, one of dozens of annual trance parties, featureas glorious views of Mount Fuji. Which is to say, trance parties are cathartic, massively cathartic. As one longtime fan put it, “A good trance party breaks you down and then smooths you out.”To lead people through this process, a trance party must respect the values of the scene. This means organizers must provide proper music and a good sound system, of course, but also tasteful decorations or scenery and, significantly, a strong sense of trust after all, in the pursuit of a meaningful psychedelic experience, a person must drop the emotional barriers that protect him or her from the strains and hazards of everyday life.One of the striking features of a trance party is the delicate balance of free-spiritedness and an almost total lack of sexual vibe. People may be half-dressed, dancing feverishly and glistening with sweat but, to be sure, one does not try to do the primal stomp with another person. If one of the goals of trance parties is catharsis even group catharsis it is nearly always achieved on an individual basis. But according to David Dobson, a New Zealand-based DJ who has played at Japan’s largest trance event, the Solstice Music Festival, for the past two years, catharsis is not simply an end in itself: “If we can go somewhere and just let go, then we start to taste life a little bit. We become a little more awake and alive and, hopefully, we start to see a little bit better in which direction we want to go.”Japan is host to dozens of trance parties throughout the year, and the ways in which they set the scene for people to let go vary greatly. Within the trance community, there may exist some agreement on the fundamentals of a proper party, but the parties themselves reflect as much the diverging philosophies, goals and budgets of the impresarios who organize them as they do any common trance ethic.Solstice Music FestivalWhile living in London a decade ago, trance parties gave direction to Masachika “Chika” Fukui, a co-organizer of the Solstice Music Festival and the A&R producer of Solstice Music, the organization’s record label.”For me, [the trance scene] changed my life,” Fukui says over an iced coffee in a quiet cafe in Shibuya. “I felt that I could do whatever I really wanted to do. Coming from Japanese culture, I felt that I was always pushed to do things. Pushed to go to school. Pushed to study.” DJ artists cooking up a storm Indeed, no one at this year’s Solstice Music Festival, held July 19 to 21 in the shadow of Mount Fuji, seemed pushed to do much of anything. In the late afternoon of the festival’s second day, before the night’s activity began, thousands of people lounged about their bedraggled campsites, some lolling in hammocks, others swigging beverages or cooking noodles over portable stoves. Despite the crowds, there was also a sense of calm, of people unwinding.This twilight downtime was in direct contrast with the formidable level of energy that these same people would be kicking up within just a few hours. Naturally, most of the action took place on the dance floor. But for some, any pocket of the event’s acreage would do: One Japanese woman, who wore a striking red latex dress, was doing some type of psychedelic kickboxing well behind the stage, while a Caucasian man wearing shorts and a bandanna on his head squatted on the ground and rhythmically massaged the grass in front of him. Some time later, he climbed up a rock at the edge of a small lake and began conducting an imaginary orchestra. After throwing a series of smaller parties at the now-defunct Geoid in Roppongi, Chika and his business partner, Akira Kidoguchi, whom he met while attending college in Canada, began the Solstice Music Festival three years ago with bold ambitions.”We wanted to do somthing that attracted people from inside Japan and also from outside. To introduce Japanese culture to other people and also introduce Japanese people to this kind of culture.”This year, the event drew an estimated 10,000 people, required a staff of more than 250 and a budget nearing 80 million yen. Among the many world-class trance acts performing were Hallucinogen, Saiko-Pod, Synthetic and Coxbox.But if Solstice has succeeded in spreading the music and creating a cultural exchange, many hard-core trance enthusiasts complain that the popularity of the event has created a sort of lowest-common-denominator trance culture. High on their list of gripes are the event’s decorations. While this may seem a petty complaint, to many attendees proper scenery is as vital to the overall experience as the music. In this sense, the huge paintings flanking the stage were especially suspect. When the moon rose, illuminating the mist and revealing the natural beauty of the tree-covered mountains that surrounded the event’s location, the paintings garish depictions of New Age iconography glowed obscenely beneath fluorescent tubes of black light.When asked about the effect of size on an event’s integrity, Chika betrays a flicker of concern and quickly lights a cigarette. He acknowledges that size does have its disadvantages but maintains that the only way to attract people from overseas is to have a large festival. Anyway, he adds, Solstice is just one annual event among many smaller parties each different from the others of between 700 and 2,000 people that his organization throws every year. “Once a year we want to put everything we have into one party and really share the vision with a big amount of people.” Likewise, DJ Dobson recognizes the challenges of large parties but tries to find a deeper meaning. “It’s become a social story now,” he says. “And we can criticize the event for that, but once you start to move into the mainstream, obviously things are going to get diluted. I’d say for 90 percent of the kids going, these events are just a bit of fun and afterward they go home and do exactly what they did last week. But I’d like to think that for a few of them there’s a bit of inspiration.”The LabyrinthTwo weeks after Solstice, a party named The Labyrinth sprouted in a remote clearing in the forested hills of Gunma Prefecture. The event was organized by Mindgames and ran roughly 24 hours.While the organizers readily recognize the importance of larger trance events, they believe a small party is the only way to realize their own vision. The Labyrinth drew about 800 people, and its budget and staff were roughly a tenth of Solstice’s. Nonetheless, it drew such big international acts as Bitmonx, Antix and Process.”For me personally, intimacy is gained at an event that has between 500 and 1,500 people and [where] you can actually greet every person who comes,” says Charles, one of the co-organizers. “It’s easy to have a party that’s like a circus, that has a bunch of spinning lights and other things going on. But if you can bring it down to as close to a natural level as possible, to a human level, where people can free their minds, then that’s really somthing.”Indeed, when compared with the massiveness of the Solstice Music Festival, the human touches to The Labyrinth were almost poignant. In the final stages of preparation, the crew carefully erected about a dozen knee-high tepees over candles so that when night fell, dancers found themselves stomping within somthing of an illuminated sacred circle. The average age at The Labyrinth seemed a few years beyond that at Solstice, with more faces showing a sort of weathered cheeriness than a curious (or bored) youthfulness. In addition to dancing, many people could be spotted observing, chasing or photographing the large crickets and other creatures springing through the untrammeled blades of grass. After his set, Process spent the rest of the night and following day dancing, which is somewhat unusual nowadays for such a high-profile DJ. Commenting on the party a week later, he said, “The location was beautiful, with water, forest, sun and rain, not to mention the thousands of dragonflies in the morning and those huge butterflies, too.” An enthusiastic DJ aside, the dance floor at The Labyrinth was simply never crowded enough to generate the intensity of that at Solstice. But if this was a shortcoming, it was lost on one of the security guards. Relaxing for a moment on a folding chair, he gushed: “This has been an amazing experience for me. First of all, I can’t believe how good the sound is. Second, the attention to detail just blows me away.” He trained his eyes on the dance floor where a few hundred people were stomping in the rain and chuckled, “This is just amazing.”Mount Hotaka”People should climb a mountain once a year for a party,” says Jun Lynch, organizer of the second annual Mount Hotaka party. The event, to be held Aug. 23 to 25, spans the end of one lunar cycle and the start of the next on a stunningly gorgeous plateau high in the Japanese Alps. If Solstice was exceptional for its size and energy and The Labyrinth for its intimate, cricket-friendly atmosphere, the otherworldly cloudscape under a full moon at Mount Hotaka will reward those 7,000 people whom Lynch anticipates will venture up the side of the mountain. In addition to the locale, the party at Mount Hotaka is unusual among this summer’s trance events in that there will be both live bands and DJs. “The trance feeling is still the same,” says Lynch by telephone, “but the music is more widespread. Live bands especially Japanese bands got some influence from the trance scene, and now their music is a mixture of rock and trance.” Among the acts are Domino, Mike Maguire of Juno Reactor, Rovo, a band that features Yamamoto of The Boredoms and a couple of members of Dub Squad, System 7, which features guitarist Steve Hillege of Gong, and the jazz-funk-trance-improvisational band Soft. With a bit of funk and swagger in the lineup, the overall atmosphere at Mount Hotaka is likely to be a bit lighter and more extroverted than a full-on trance party, and the dancing to be less of a stomp and more of a wiggle and shake.”Last year was the first year to do a high-altitude party and because of the storm and the lightning there was some chaos,” Lynch says good-naturedly (and not unreasonably many people who attended the event last year say this simply made it more memorable). To provide a smooth flow this year, Lynch’s staff numbers a whopping 600 people, many of them dedicated to running shuttles to the plateau. Nonetheless, he cautions, “It’s still 1,500 meters so people have to be prepared for the unexpected.”Prepare for the unexpected? Sounds like good advice for any party.Mount Hotaka: Aug. 23-25 at the Hotaka Bokujo Campsite in Gunma Prefecture. There are three ways of reaching the plateau: by chairlift, which runs only during the day (400 yen); by shuttle bus (also 400 yen); or by hiking (approximately 60 minutes). Camping is permitted, and there will be many stands selling food and beverages. Tickets are 8,500 yen in advance, 10,500 yen on-site, or 17,500 yen for admission and round-trip transportation from Shinjuku Station.

#2665 Wed, 28 Aug 2002 14:36:34 Wed, 28 Aug 2002 14:36:34 Fwd: DREAMCACTHER “JACOB PARTY”THIS SATURDAY

#2666 Wed, 28 Aug 2002 14:55:41 Wed, 28 Aug 2002 14:55:41 Pschedule News/Links: Jacob and Jonathan are out of jail! But Jacob was unjustly searched and jailed. He was at the wrong place and the wrong time and now faces legal fees. (He’s becoming a celebrity!!) So the Brazillians and a Bali and some Russians are doing a benefit this Saturday at a venue in Queens. It’s a wonderful cliche/cause, “let’s put on a show!” See you there! Remeber do NOT smoke pot in the venue, do it around the corner or somthing. Ditto for salvia!! There is a gradual narrowing on non commercial indoor trance events in greater NYC. This is a bad sign for the scene, which is staying strictly organic these days, if you know what I mean. And staying organic means staying outside or not at all. And outside events means that we have to be careful as to who gets the info. If you’re campiing somewhere in a tent or on the beach you don’t want to have to worry about someone stealing your bags or stuff… So if you want to join Safetydance find me (Jeff) at one of the events below and identify yourself and I’ll do a full cavity search. The net result is, you have to know others in the scene in order to get to the best events, and in many cases the only events. The days of someone rolling into town and stopping by Home of Trance to get the weekend’s flyer are no longer here – for now. And ditto for getting weekly events or frequent commercial trance parties on brainmachines. This will change some day, but I can no longer pine for that day. There comes a point when you have to sink or swim, and if it’s water you’re in, without swimming you’ll drown, and I didn’t want to drown, so I got a job. I wanted to survive to live another day at a rocking warehouse full of tripped out fluoro tight wearing GOA HEADS. And in the meantime, you can get rides the parties by sending an email to brainpooling Speaking of, the Phantasm Make up party is happening on September 28. If you went to the event and haven’t responded yet email Elly directly at phantasmusa at hotmail. Opher of Purple Oz has a great new CD out (web purpleoz) and may be doing a party in October with Spectra.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pr-ises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is ri ch in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. SFACE”Wingdings” LANG”0-e would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper.

This is a bad sign for the scene, which is staying strictly organic these days, if you know what I mean. And staying organic means staying outside or not at all. And outside events means that we have to be careful as to who gets the info. If you’re campiing somewhere in a tent or on the beach you don’t want to have to worry about someone stealing your bags or stuff… So if you want to join Safetydance find me (Jeff) at one of the events below and identify yourself and I’ll do a full cavity search. The net result is, you have to know others in the scene in order to get to the best events, and in many cases the only events. The days of someone rolling into town and stopping by Home of Trance to get the weekend’s flyer are no longer here – for now. And ditto for getting weekly events or frequent commercial trance parties on brainmachines. This will change some day, but I can no longer pine for that day. There comes a point when you have to sink or swim, and if it’s water you’re in, without swimming you’ll drown, and I didn’t want to drown, so I got a job. I wanted to survive to live another day at a rocking warehouse full of tripped out fluoro tight wearing GOA HEADS. And in the meantime, you can get rides the parties by sending an email to brainpooling Speaking of, the Phantasm Make up party is happening on September 28.

#2668 Thu, 29 Aug 2002 15:38:11 Thu, 29 Aug 2002 15:38:11 Incredible story of the orginal Brain Machine guru, and Brain Lullabies Cc: thom at thomhartmann From the orginial brainmachines: An Interview with Michael Hutchison With extraordinary lessons for us all This is from an interview first published in 2002 in AVS (Audio/Visual Stimulation) magazine, reprinted with the pe rmission of the publisher and of Michael Hutchison, an old and dear friend of Thoms: Michael Hutchison has been a leader in the AVS / light and sound industry for many years. He has held several workshops and semi nars, produced numerous recordings, and has written several books, includi ng “Mega Brain Power: Transform Your Life With Mind Machines and Brain Nut rients” and “Megabrain: New Tools & Techniques for Brain Growth & Mind Exp ansion”. But a couple of years ago he stopped writing. Why? We would like to thank Michael for sharing his experiences with us, letting us all know what happened, and what he will be doing in the near future. We believe yo u will be amazed at what Michael has gone through, and is continuing to go through. Q: What have you been up to? A: Well, up until about three yea rs ago, things were going great. Just like real life, or so I thought at t he time. I had returned from giving a series of workshops in Europe and Ja pan. I was totally in love with my nine-year-old son, Galen, who lived wit h me half-time and half-time with his mother, and I was spending as much t ime as I could with him. I was about 400 pages into a new book that I was extremely optimistic about, because I thought it was original and unique, and offered new insights into the nature of peak states and how to obtain them, using reliable techniques, derived from new discoveries in the scienof complexity and the mathematics of chaos. Then I got hit by a quadru ple whammy, along with a string of mind-boggling coincidences. One Februar y night I woke up, and the house was filled with black smoke. Fortunately, Galen was not at home that night. I ran out of my bedroom and saw my offiwas on fire. It was at the other end of the house, and I went running u p there to put out the fire, but when I opened the door, I got hit by a de nse wall of black smoke. My computer and EEG machine and a lot of the elec tronic equipment and mind machines I had there were on fire, spewing out i ncredibly toxic smoke. Before I knew what happened, the smoke had suffocat ed me and knocked me out. The only thing that saved me from burning up was that the firemen came with some sort of infrared imaging device, which th ey had just acquired, that allowed them to see through this dense black sm oke. They discovered my body laying on the floor there, and they pulled me out of the fire. It was just amazing luck that a neighbor had been awake at 2 AM, seen flames leaping out of the roof, and called the fire departme nt. It was also amazing luck that they came quickly enough to keep me from being toasted. Those were big coincidences. Anyway, I woke up in the int ensive care unit with thick tubes down my esophagus breathing for me, an i ntensely sore throat, and a big pain in my chest. They told me I’d almost died of smoke inhalation, not to mention almost getting burned to a crisp. The worst thing was that almost everything I owned burned up. That includ ed the new book I was working on, all my notes, all my research, everythin g. That also included all my past writings, which had been stored on my ha rd drive, on diskettes, and in manuscripts. Items from the past fifteen ye ars or so, including some novels I had been waiting for a rainy day to pub lish, my journals for the last twenty years, my books, articles, family ph otographs, all my poems and short stories and a lot more, everything, they all went up in smoke. And not only did the manuscript versions and the ha rd drive go up, but my back-up diskettes were burnt too, because I kept th em in the same room. It was a big blow. As a writer, to see your entire li fe go up like that, it’s a pretty big blow. After I got out of the hospit al, I was staying with a friend, and I went for a run. My lungs weren’t fu lly recovered from the smoke inhalation, and it turned into a long run, ab out two hours, and I got caught in a snow storm. I was heading for home, c rossing a foot bridge across the Santa Fe River, and I slipped on an ice p atch and fell head over heels a long distance down into the rocky river be d. My neck and the back of my head smashed into the rocks. Basically, I wa s lucky I didn’t get killed in the fall. I broke my spine. I was laying th ere in the icy waters, paralyzed from the neck down with only my face out of the water. I knew I was paralyzed, and I couldn’t call for help, becaus e I couldn’t breathe. And the frustrating thing was, I knew I was freezing to death, because I could feel the icy water just sucking the heat out of me. Over a period of time I just felt myself dying. In fact I did die, as far as I know. It was an interesting experience. I was having a dream that I was laying in the guest bed in my friend’s house, and there was a river flowing through the bed. I kept thinking, “I’ve got to get out of this be d the river’s so cold.” But I couldn’t move. Then I felt like I just flo ated away down the river, and I let go. It was very peaceful. I woke up in the operating room, having neurosurgery done on my spinal cord. I had s mashed five cervical vertebrae. They told me that my core temperature was so cold, they had to continuously pump my blood out of me into a special w arming unit and then back into me, because I had such severe hypothermia. Apparently, someone had been passing by this vacant section of city park in the early night in the snowstorm near this deserted foot bridge, and had seen my body in the river. Another big coincidence funny how they keep p iling up. Anyway, I almost died of head trauma from the fall, hypothermia, and again from my spinal cord injury. So, chalk up three more near-death experiences. The next time I woke up, I was the intensive care unit again, dying from pneumonia. The doctors later told me my fever was so high, the y never thought I’d make it through the pneumonia. After I recovered from that, I promptly got it again, and again almost died. So, what I was deali ng with were five or six near-death experiences in a short period of time. It knocked the spiritual wind out of me. I was feeling very low and very tired. Of course I was paralyzed from the neck down and, to make it worse, I had to wear this whole body brace that kept me totally stiff, clear up to the back of my head, with the tip of my chin pointed way up in the air, to keep me from moving my neck, so that the vertebrae, which had been fus ed in the operation, could heal. Aside from the pain of the injuries, be ing unable to move was true misery trapped in a painful position, withou t being able to move at all. To make it even worse, the doctors told me I could expect to be a quadriplegic for the rest of my life. They didn’t off er any hope of regaining much movement. I thought, “To hell with that,” an d spent hours and hours for months, trying to get movement in my arms and legs. I was in the hospital for about four months, when my money had run o ut, Medicaid wouldn’t cover any more, and I couldn’t stay in the hospital any more. Like a lot of freelance writers, I lived from one book advance c heck to the next. I had been counting on the advance money from my new boo k to live off of, but of course that was the book that burned up. My money had run out, and I did not have any medical insurance. So the time came when I had to leave the hospital, and there was no place for me to go. I was still pretty much paralyzed, although I was getting some movement back in my arms and legs. My only course of action was to get admitted to a ve ry grim nursing home. It was dark, noisy, overcrowded, the hallways jammed with sickly, frail people, mainly in their 80’s and 90’s, vegetating in t heir wheelchairs or just milling around, many of them advanced Alzheimer p atients, who had no idea where they were. It was basically a warehouse for old people, waiting to die. So, here I was, confined mostly to bed inside this kind of cuckoo’s nest, where people were wandering around, shouting, screaming, and yelling for help. The screaming never let up. Amazingly, m any people screamed right up to the moment they died. The inmates would w ander into my room and lay down in bed with me or take my clothes and book s. I remember being very frustrated with these Alzheimer patients, because I couldn’t do anything to stop them from laying beside me or taking my th ings. I was too paralyzed. Just a few days ago, my doctor was talking to m e about when he visited me in the place, and he used the word, “Hellish.” As I think about it, it was like somthing right out of Dante’s “Inferno”. During the first year I was there, I truly bottomed out. I felt depressed and I couldn’t seem to think very clearly. In the mornings, when it was time to wake up, I dreaded it, and wished I didn’t have to wake up. I was in constant pain. I came to a place where I thought my life was over. I r emember thinking, “I still feel young, but I can’t move. I’m a writer, but I can’t move my hands, and I can’t write. I’m a father, but I’m not with my son. I’m a thinker, but I can’t think clearly. I’m a lover, but I can’t make love.” I had to face it. This was real life. The book I was working on had disappeared, and would never reappear. I had ended a long-term rela tionship a couple of months before the fire, so I didn’t have any companio nship that I could fall back on or count on. I was totally alone, and thou ght I would never have a relationship again. What woman would want to get involved with a quadriplegic? I didn’t even know if I would ever be able t o have sex again, because I was paralyzed. My young son, whom I loved with all my heart, and was the most important person in my life, and with whom I had been so very close, was not able to come and see me. He was living with his mother now, and at this point I hadn’t seen him for almost a year . I missed him terribly. Things seemed pretty bleak. I went through this r eally painful period, when I thought my life was over. At some point it be gan to become clear to me the way muddy water gets clear if you let it s it still for a while that I was facing a big decision. And then it reall y hit me that I had to do in a serious way what I had been writing about i n the new book. I had to truly live some of the spiritual processes that I had been exploring before the accident. This was no intellectual exercise no book this was real life. Before the accident, I had been fascinated with the idea of spiritual awakening. Now, I realized I had to go beyon d the idea. I saw clearly that truly awakening was my only way out. The on ly way out was in. I decided that I would look on being confined to this n ursing home as the equivalent to undergoing an intensive retreat in a Zen monastery. I should point out here that I had always been a spiritual seek er, and a seeker of peak experiences. I had had intense experiences of hei ghtened awareness as a child, such as dissolving into total light and onen ess with being, that came and went at unpredictable times, like when I was riding my bike or diving off a bridge. When I was in junior high school, I read Jack Kerouac’s novels, “On the Road” and “The Dharma Bums”, and fel t an immediate flash of recognition and kinship. I was strongly influenced by Kerouac’s energy, his spontaneous writing, his ecstasies, and his myst icism. He made me aware of those energies and ecstasies in myself. From th en on, my drive was always for more more experiences, more adventures, m ore risks, more thrills, more ecstasy. As soon as I could, I took off for New York City, where I ended up living in a commune for runaway kids in G reenwich Village. In those years I was deeply involved as a radical antiwa r activist. Much of my life, I spent living on the edge and, like Kerouac, often went to extremes. I often lived at high risk at times really peri lous stuff, like years in the ’70’s and early ’80’s, spent living in Centr al America in the midst of guerrillas, revolutions, coups, and death squad s. I guess I was driven by an unconscious intuitive need for living on the edge. Living on the edge and risk taking have the effect of heightening y our awareness and making life more intense, more real. I remember back in the ’60’s in New York City, sitting with a young Tibetan master, Chogyam T rungpa. He spoke beautifully from direct experience about living constantl y in pure enlightenment and “going beyond the beyond,” all the while downi ng glass after glass of hard liquor. His followers said he was “a master o f crazy wisdom,” and I thought, “Yes this is the stuff for me.” He was a very Kerouacian figure. Also, at that time, I had begun experimenting wit h psychedelic ds mainly l, mescaline, and psilocybin and had some exceptional experiences of awakening, such as seeing that every particle and dust mote of infinite, ordinary, reality was all the same thing. Psych edelics took you to the top of the mountain and showed you the other side, but the only problem was, you had to come back down the mountain. By the way, during that same period of time, some friends and I had some dazzling experiences with an early version of a light and sound machine, when we g ot a cardboard tube, cut square holes out of it in a line around the tube, put the tube on a record turntable, and hung a light bulb down inside of it. As the tube spun around, the light, flashing rhythmically out of the h oles, caused you to have a flicker experience a kaleidoscopic display of colors and patterns, which is familiar to people who’ve used light and so und machines. In the ’70’s I had become a hermit, and lived in total isol ation in a small log lean-to on a mountain in the wilderness for a long pe riod of time, to explore the effects of silence, sensory deprivation, and isolation. This definitely produced a heightened and intensified state of awareness. I went through periods of very high risk living in the ’70’s an d early ’80’s. I was able to go for long periods with a total absence of a sense of time there was no past and no future just the now. That incl uded the experiences of living through revolutions in Central America. B ack home in New York City in the early ’80’s, I unexpectedly got a magazine assignment to write an article about sensory deprivation tanks. The first time I got into a tank, the voice in my head said, “Ahh, home again.” It was like returning to that awakened experience of oneness and timelessness . The only problem was, it cost $ 35 an hour to float. As a starving young writer, this put it effectively out of reach for me. However, I had a vis ion in the float tank: “Hey, if I write a book a book about floating, I’ll get to float for free as much as I want.” My vision turned out to be tota lly accurate. I got a contract to write a book about floating. The owners of the float centers in New York City invited me to float for free as much as I wanted. I spent hundreds of hours floating. I found that the tank wa s a doorway to awakening and timelessness. I had hundreds of hours of pure bliss in the tank. The problem was, sooner or later, you had to get out, and the world was still there. While doing research in neuroscience for “The Book of Floating”, which came out in 1984, I interviewed a number of scientists who were doing research on a variety of mind enhancing technolo gies. With a number of these devices, I had profound peak experiences. Onc e again, the voice in my head said, “Hey, if I write a book about these ma chines, I’ll get to use every device available.” So, I got a contract to w rite a book about mind machines. This became the book “Megabrain” in 1986. I wrote the book from a mainstream scientific point of view. It was well received and well reviewed by scientists. It became an immediate success, with translations around the world. I found myself dubbed “the guru of mi nd technology” by national magazines, and soon I was doing workshops and seminars. But my real interest in these devices was my search for the expe riences of awakening and pure being. I wanted to have these experiences in a reliable way, with the flick of a switch, if possible. Anyway, the rea son I’m giving you this brief biographical sketch is that, as I sat there paralyzed in the nursing home, experiencing absolute depression, thinking my life was over, for the first time I really began to look back over my l ife, and I wondered, “What was that all about?” It became clear to me at t hat point, that the driving force in my work and my life wasn’t about the brief periods of ecstasy you get from high risk, adventures, and peak expe riences, but that I had been driven all my life by a deep longing to wake up to awaken from the dream of life to a higher, more real, reality. The whole point, I saw, was to attain not just a brief taste, but permanent e nlightenment. Now, I realized that I had to continue that work on my own. It was so obvious, but it had taken the destruction of my entire life to see it. All the teachings talked about reaching enlightenment or awakening and, until then, I had unconsciously assumed that enlightenment was a po ssible goal only for special, rare people, saints or paragons of self-disc ipline or devotion. But now, for the first time, I became convinced that t hat enlightenment was a real thing, a real tangible state, available to ev eryone, like breathing. So, the whole point of these disasters was I had n o choice but to become enlightened myself. I had always wanted to go to spend time in a Zen monastery, so I decided to look at being confined ther e in my wheelchair as being confined to a monastery or retreat. I started spending many hours every day eight, ten, twelve hours doing intense m editation. My main focus of meditation was to attain pure emptiness the “no-mind” state the void, God. All my years of floating came in handy, b ecause I quickly found I could get into a kind of internalized sensory dep rivation state. With all the shouting and the screams of the people, and p eople wandering around, I had to shut down my hearing so I wasn’t paying a ttention to it. Much of the time, my roommate would have the TV playing, s o I had to ignore that, too. I closed my eyes. Essentially, I had to ignor e my environment, and turn inward in a very radical way. Months passed, an d I had some very interesting experiences visions, images, floods of whi te light, movies in my head, thoughts, ideas but it was not enlightenmen t, because these were all “things”. The products of the mind and the forms of the world are all “things”. The ancient masters are very clear about t his. As long as there is any “thing”, that’s not it, because enlightenment includes a total absence of “things”. It is literally “no-thing” After months of frustration, it began to hit me. The voice in my head said, “Let go, man, let go. Look at how you’re holding on. What do you think life’s telling you? All these near-death experiences what do you think that’s al l about? Dying, that’s what. You keep hanging on to life, like you’re afra id to let go. It’s time to die.” I realized my ego, which is to say, my se lf, was holding on, trying to maintain control trying to remain in exist ence. I knew it was time for the ego to let go. It was like my entire bein g had been clenched in a tight fist, and suddenly the fist opened up and l et go completely. Everything dropped away. All contractions released and disappeared, contraction of the mind, of the body, of the emotions. Everyt hing’s a contraction, you know, even thinking. The way it happened was, ju st at this point, they came to take me for a shower. They wheeled me down the hallway and hosed me off, and, for a time, I forgot about meditating an d seeking. As they wheeled me back to my room, I suddenly found things beg an to happen. At first, it was radiance within me. I began seeing and expe riencing this upwelling or emanation. It was in front of my eyes, but also inside my eyes and inside my body. This radiance began flowing upward. It was like a spring welling up, but it was welling up out of infinite empti ness. It was emptiness, the void, but it was luminous. As this continued t o happen, I realized it was bliss. It was just a current of bliss. Over th e next few hours, it became more and more intense. As the days went by, I began to realize that I was existing in a sea of bliss, which we could a lso call Consciousness, or Spirit. Everything around me was bliss. The sim ple beingness of being was bliss. It was fun to be alive. Every moment. Ev en though I was having a lot of pain, and was paralyzed and stuck in this grim cuckoo’s nest, no matter what my external condition was, there was st ill this intrinsic joy at being alive. I began to feel this bliss all arou nd me. I was experiencing being like a fish swimming in water, suddenly re alizing that he’s in water. I had this sensation of bliss or consciousnes s as just being some transparent, invisible, all pervasive substance that surrounded and permeated and interpenetrated everything in the world, and I was swimming in it. We all are all the time even though we don’t kno w it. Everything that happened in that bliss was totally effortless. I fou nd that my actions became effortless, too. When I lifted up my hand, for e xample, it wasn’t me lifting my hand, it was just this Consciousness or bl iss acting through me. I realized that I wasn’t “doing” my life, but that I was being lived through by Consciousness. I wasn’t breathing, but I was being breathed through. I wasn’t thinking, I was being thought through. I wasn’t seeing, I was being seen through. When you look at it this way, eve rything is happening just the way it is. Everything is perfect, just the w ay it is. There’s no need to worry about anything, because whatever is goi ng to happen, happens. There’s nothing you can do about it, so just sit ba ck, and let it happen, because it’s all going to, anyway. Over time, I b egan to realize that in the past I had been looking for peak experiences, states of cosmic consciousness, and trying to find ways to induce them, wh ether with ds or alcohol or mind machines or floatation tanks or runnin g or relationships or what have you. My assumption had been that peak expe riences were rare events, like precious jewels in the ordinary muck of lif e. Now, it became clear to me that this kind of awakening of being lived through by Consciousness wasn’t a peak experience, per se. It wasn’t ra re. It wasn’t even really an experience. It was just the condition of bein g, the nature of reality, the primary, innermost essence. Far from being r are, this pure Consciousness is always here, always the same, never change s, never moves, and is constantly going on, no matter what experiences you may be having. You could be having an experience of pain, and this Consci ousness would still be here. You could be having an experience of carrying on a conversation, and the Consciousness is still here. You have it every instant of your life, every moment of your life, but you’re just not awar e of it. In fact, once you become aware of it, you can’t make it go away. It’s like watching a movie your attention is on the images on the scree n, but the screen is always there. Once the images go away, you see the sc reen. It’s like if you get rid of everything that’s a thing, what’s left? What’s left is Consciousness, or absolute awareness. Once I recognized it th is experience was very familiar to me, because I had had it all my lif e. It’s always there, but one good way of noticing it is when you have goo d experiences on the light and sound machines or in floatation tanks. Actu ally, it’s not an experience it’s prior to experience. When you have an experience, there’s someone there, having the experience. In pure Conscio usness, the one who experiences goes away. One way I can describe it is th at time disappears. I don’t know if you’ve been in a floatation tank, but the way it happens with me is that at a certain point, I reach the bottom of total relaxation, and I say, “No more words, no more thoughts, no more mind,” and I melt or dissolve into this non-place, where time disappears, where there is consciousness, but there’s no content to consciousness. You’ re definitely aware, and aware that that you’re not in a sleep state. You’ re definitely aware, but there is no content to the consciousness, just pu re being, absolute awareness. That’s the bliss I’m talking about. This sam e thing can happen with light and sound machines. In my workshops, and wor king with thousands of people who’ve used the machines, I’ve found that ve ry frequently when they have what they’d call a successful experience, the re’s an experience, or I should say, a non-experience, of time disappearin g at some point in there. When time disappears, you’re in a place where there’s no inside and no outside, there’s no center and no edge, there’s n o before and no after, no past and no future just now. This space is ess entially formless, limitless, and very clear, open, empty, alive, and stil l. Radiant and alive, but totally still a paradox but that’s what it i s. It’s just bliss or pure Consciousness or God, and I guess that’s all I can say. Whenever I thought about the light and sound machines and other neurotechnologies that I had written about, I began to think that what we should be using the machines for is not to search for peak experiences, bu t as tools to help us release all things and come into a direct awareness of that which is always going on and never ceases. Usually, we go through life, unaware of this pure Consciousness, because our minds are always act ive, and distracted by the things that are going on. Certain mind technolo gies, like the float tank, light and sound machines, and ganzfields, can h elp us shut off the things of the world, and when we shut off all things, pure Consciousness arises naturally, like the stars, which are always ther e, appearing when the sun goes down. Used in this way, mind tools can real ly become tools of awakening. I began to think that maybe my work in the f uture may have somthing to do with that. It’s interesting, and an interes ting coincidence, that the book that I was writing had to do with synthesi zing some recent discoveries in science with some very ancient spiritual techniques for awakening.

It put me to sleep within minutes.Now, it turns out that it may not have been ma gic at all, but science.Researchers at the University of Toronto’s sleep c linic have found that the human brain creates its own internal music, and that same music can be used to fight a common problem that affects million s of people across the continent: anxiety insomnia.By playing their own “b rain music” back to them, researchers were able to get persons with sleepi ng disorders to fall asleep more quickly, and to sleep more soundly, accor ding to psychiatrist Leonid Kayumov, director of the clinic.Of course, thi s “music,” which consists of an audible “printout” of sleep-inducing brain waves, doesn’t exactly sound like Barry Manilow, and you can’t buy it at your local record store. Odd Lullaby “It sounds odd,” Ka yumov says. “You wouldn’t recognize it as music. Sometimes there are harmo nic frequencies, sometimes it’s total cacophony.” Sometimes, he adds, it s ounds a little like Chinese, sometimes it sounds a little like a melody.”I find some people have nicer music,” he says.But each of us produces our ow n brain music, and each is different.Kayumov, who discussed his clinic’s research at a recent annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep S ociety in Seattle, says up to 40 percent of the general population suffers from some kind of insomnia, and most of those problems “may be related to stress anxiety.” Balancing the checkbook, or dealing with a problem at wor k or home, may keep us from falling asleep in the evening, or cause us to wake up a long time before the alarm clock goes off.Kayumov and his collea gues excluded people from the study who have severe neurological disorders that keep them awake, and concentrated instead on ordinary folks who have trouble sleeping. Ten persons who had suffered from insomnia for at least two years were selected for the study, and they were taken into the lab i n the university’s Western Hospital and hooked up to a portable device tha t zeroes in on brain waves. Promising Results The device produces a graph that looks a little like an electrocardiogram, but it portrays brain waves not heart functions. The two are different in that brain waves are a muc h faster frequency, producing about 70 fluctuations per second.”Basically, it gives you kind of a printout of the brain,” he says.That printout is f ed into a computer, which produces an audio track that corresponds to the frequency and patterns of the brain wave. And that, he adds, is the music of the brain.”What is music?” he asks. “It is organized sound oscillations which change in rhythm, volume, amplitude, tones and so on. The same anal ogy applies to brain activity. It’s electrical oscillations. And using co mputerized algorithms we convert them into sound. So it’s a printout of the brain, but expressed in sounds.”Each participant was given a recording of the sound and sent home with instructions to listen to it just before bed time if they have trouble falling asleep, or during the night if they can’ t stay asleep. Four weeks later, they returned to the clinic for further t esting.The participants showed dramatic improvement over placebo participa nts who listened to someone else’s brain music instead of their own.”For t he placebo group, the improvement was only about 15 percent as compared to 75 to 85 percent for the experimental group. So it’s a highly significant statistical difference,” Kayumov says. It also shows that brain music is highly individualistic. It worked, he adds, because the sleep music was lo wer in frequency than other brain waves and induced kind of a relaxed, med itative condition. In other words, each subject’s brain recognized its own lullaby and reacted accordingly.The “music” was so different from other b rain waves that the researchers are now experimenting with creating sound tracks that will help curb such things as bed wetting among children.Even far more serious mental problems might be helped by similar techniques, he says.”Even the diseased brain has such enormous reserves that we can use the brain activity, even from a diseased brain, to heal it,” he says. An a nti-anxiety response, for example, can be produced even in someone who is seriously impaired by reproducing sounds that stimulate relaxation. Relaxa tion in a CD A research sample of 10 persons is not a large group, but the project builds on numerous other related studies at the clinic, and Kayum ov believes the results are quite convincing. The long-range goal, he says is to move the technology from the research lab to the clinic.Hopefully, some day people with serious sleep disorders will be able to check into a clinic and leave an hour or so later with a compact disc, loaded with sou nds that originated in their own brains. Those sounds will be used to gene rate brain waves that induce relaxation, leading to sleep.And here’s the n eat part. It won’t become addictive. There won’t be any serious side effec ts, like those caused by various medications that are now available.All it will be is music, created in the person’s own brain. How about that for a relaxing tune? achines: ew with Michael Hutchison With extraordinary lessons for us all

As I have never heard of a Hanukah trance party that actually happened, I made a Gentile assumption that if the Israliens are organizing somthing for Rosh Hashanah (actually Sept 7) on the level that Joker is doing, for this then it must be second only to Israeli Independence Day. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are bookends to the ten Days of Awe, kind of like the first day of Christmas and the 12th day. The fact that this party is happening in the middle should connote that there won’t be a lot of orthodox in attendance. Who knows. I guess you’ll have to come to find out.

Wh en the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, th e second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we aga in celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Yea r promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of wint er as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and r ythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these day s our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass i nto Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each d ay, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to t ransform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ethi ng greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ec stasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within u s bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harve sted at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and oth er plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depend ing on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted paraf in, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gol d or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River an d stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purpose s. – Sept 27th Friday DJ Sangeet (Spirit Zone, Freeform) Germany at Omni Tribe party on more party details to come… – Sept 28 – Saturday – The P hantasm Kick Ass Kiss Ass Feed Your Head 2 party more info to come Oct 1 -6 Mind States Jamaica web erowid.org/mindstates/ – Oct 12 – Satur day – International Global Dance Party for Peace… sponsored by EarthDanc e Org… – Oct 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Hunter’s/Travel/Dying Gr ass Moon) – Oct 31 Halloween Winter (Pagan) – Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter ‘s Start – Nov 19 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Beaver/Frost Moon) Nov 30-12-5 Transsolar Festival in South Africa web yogi-moon.co.za – Dec 19 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Cold/Long Nights Moon) – Dec 21 8:15pm Win ter Solstice Yeah old NYC is becoming a corporate wasteland.

Why: “The message that Nature sends is, transf orm your language through a synergy between electronic culture and the psy chedelic imagination, a synergy between dance and idea, a synergy between understanding and intuition, and dissolve the boundaries that your culture has sanctioned between you, to become part of this Gaian supermind.” – Te rence McKenna (1946-2000) Redefining Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Cen tury Never before on the east coast has a full on Trance Dance been moved from the bowels of the city to it’s proper home in a stunning natural envi ronment.

When th e sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the sec ond of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we againlebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year pro mises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have thei r seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spr ing, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever movi ng flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c -e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; litt le ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into S ummerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, n ight and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We un ite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transf orm our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritua l and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual help s the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething gr eater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec -e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is as sociated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the f estivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other pl ants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending o n when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, a nd put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a hu ge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and str eam stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. – Sept 27th Friday DJ Sangeet (Spirit Zone, Freeform) Germany at Omni Tribe party on more party details to come… – Sept 28 – Saturday – The Phanta sm Kick Ass Kiss Ass Feed Your Head 2 party more info to come Oct 1-6 Mi nd States Jamaica web erowid.org/mindstates/ – Oct 12 – Saturday – International Global Dance Party for Peace… sponsored by EarthDance Org … – Oct 21 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Hunter’s/Travel/Dying Grass M oon) – Oct 31 Halloween Winter (Pagan) – Nov 1 – Samhain – Winter’s St art – Nov 19 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Beaver/Frost Moon) Nov 30-1 2-5 Transsolar Festival in South Africa web yogi-moon.co.za – Dec 19 – Ful l Moon (Indian Name: Full Cold/Long Nights Moon) – Dec 21 8:15pm Winter S olstice the top floor at Shelter on the original Twilo Phazon system.

For those not inclined to put on face paint might i suggest sunglasses. I haven’t done E in at least a year – tomorrow just may be the perfect time to do it!! In a message dated 9/5/2002 4:58:54 PM Eastern Standard Time, ben at tvtrecords writes: YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECOMMEND FACE MASKS (how about the Joker? or the alien mask, surely we are aliens in their midst) because you can bet everyone is going to be videotaped by the DEA or NYPD. Just routine, they will say. In case of a riot or serious injury, so we can indentify the “perps.” Funny, how they never identify themselves when they swing first. BESIDES, media coverage will surely be heightened by the bizarre mid-day protest by hundreds of masked individuals. BE AWARE: I was at the anti-KKK rally a year ago and the police do have the power to ask you to remove all masks when demonstrating. It’s an archaic law that they pulled out of the books to unmask the KKK and thereby prevent some of their shyer members from protesting publicly for fear of losing their jobs if identified by or on the media.

I might add, the RAVE protest party is in this in the same Precinct as the cops who stole $15K worth of electronics. SO we can’t let them off easy. Look for one wearing a real Tag Hauer watch. Those bastards took the d’s Mackeys, my pioneer CDJs, brainmachines, video games, etc etc Those fucks thought they had me with 800 pez, well I guess they were wrong. Now I’m gonna get them back by working hard at my job, making mad money, and throwing a wrench in their plans to Disneyfy Manhattan. So remember, if you’re not going to go wreck house for myself, think of me when you go. Or better yet, think of stolen renegade sound systems that are now being used to amplify off duty cops listening to Huey Lewis CDs in their back yard barbecues in Long Island. This past year they just robbed me – next year they may rob you. You may be forced to resort to Home Listening of psy-trance. Don’t let it happen. Free pez for all!

Celebrating Cartoon Network’s 9 3/4 Birthday June 14 to September 15, 2002 Cartoon Network was launched in October 1992 as the world’s first television network devoted exclusively to animation. Originally conceived as a showcase for Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera classics, the network has evolved into a source of celebrated original series such as Dexter’s Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which combine multilayered wit and stylish innovation in a way that speaks to viewers young and old. This summer the Museum will honor Cartoon Network’s contributions to animation with a screening series highlighting its broad range of original programming. David Bowie: Sound + Vision June 7 to September 29, 2002 In commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the Museum will present the first retrospective devoted to the extraordinary career of David Bowie.

#2698 Thu, 12 Sep 2002 18:54:59 Thu, 12 Sep 2002 18:54:59 Why Trancers should not be be scared of the wartime U.S. Government I’m sitting here in my new office in the building where in the Superman movies Christopher Reeves as Clark Kent worked at the Daily Planet (the one with the huge moving globe in the lobby) and I saw from my window the motorcade drive by, possibly the car with GW. In my college days would have maybe thought of using that opportunity as a makeshift Book Depository Dallas style, but with a water ballon that said Enron. But no, i have mellowed somewhat with age and now am reassured that we can no longer take any bull from extremists that would deprive our civil liberties. It’s days like this that remind me of why I still stick it out here, far from family and roots. It’s still a great place to live! The orange meme of capitalism hitting the red war god meme… hopefully fundamentalism can be engaged, contained, and a peace brought in the Middle East without Armageddon. Granted, we (and the Brits) set up Israel for strife by stacking the deck with Arab transplants so as to keep the Jews in perpetual strife, but from where I sit i am not paranoid about our civil liberties taken away. If we in psy-trance represent an edge to the underground, and if I may say that i was until last year part of the edge of that edge, and even after 9/11 i was in a position to be completely fucked by the System, and they decided not to pursue my case, even with a mountain of evidence (ds, flyers, brainmachines, props, paraphernalia, an open book really) that I was indeed an instigator of full throttled psychedelicism, I think I am a test case that The Man is not out to get us. So when we hear that there is some plan for the Feds to wrap themselves in the flag and use it as an excuse to go after the crusties, think of me, a sitting duck, at one time the Crustiest of the Crusties, a media driven egomaniac destined to meet my maker head on, and what did they do? They Let Me Go. There’s been a recent spate of busts within the scene but they are all every one of them asked for, Drive safe, make sure your tail lights are in order, fasten your seat belt, don’t strip in public, don’t give them an excuse to juice up their afternoon with a collar of an unwashed malcontent, and I think you’ll be fine. The fun is in the camoflauge, the veils, and navigating our fire in the fireworks factory that is USA, 2002. Of course Lisa asks Would you trade a walk on part in the war for a lead in a golden cage? I say, that’s called subtlety and complexity… fight it and face prison or institutionalization. Deal with it and thrive and live to spread the good word. If Ben Franklin were alive and young today, he would definitely be at Burning Man with his kite and key, and would maybe even love Infected Mushroom (but probably complain that our parties are sexless endeavors), notwithstanding the fact that Flying Rhino loving Price William is I believe a direct descendent of King George.

#2699 Fri, 13 Sep 2002 03:22:49 Fri, 13 Sep 2002 03:22:49 Green Party WASHINGTON (Sept. 12) – Trance people whose hair glows green may be the first step to using gene therapy to treat hair loss, baldness and perhaps even to permanently change hair color, researchers say. They put jellyfish genes into the hair follicles of the trance people, who grew hair that glowed fluorescent green under the right light. ‘The hair now is glowing green because green fluorescent protein is in the hair shaft,’ Robert Hoffman of San Diego-based AntiCancer, Inc., whose company led the study, said in a telephone interview. ‘We saw lots of green fluorescent hair.’ Writing in this week’s issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Hoffman and colleagues said their experiment involvedmtskin taken from a trance person, treated, and then grafted to another trance person. They need to try it now directly on live trance people. ‘It’s got a way to go before the market,’ said Hoffman, who worked with scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Japan’s Kitasato University School of Medicine. But, he added: ‘We have a good system now to get genes into hair follicles.’ Green fluorescent protein is often used by scientists testing genetic engineering techniques. It is a single gene that makes jellyfish glow green in the dark, is harmless to other animals and is easy to look for. Hoffman said if one new gene functions in the hair follicle, others should. His idea is to treat the hair loss that is caused by cancer chemotherapy. ‘You can imagine putting in genes that confer resistance to chemotherapy,’ he said. Treating a receding hairline may be a bit more difficult, Hoffman said. ‘In male pattern baldness, the follicle makes a little fine hair instead of a normal hair shaft. This obviously involves a lot of genes.’ Once the genes involved in color and graying are better understood, it may even be possible to use gene transfer as a cosmetic procedure, he said. The system could also be used for more standard gene therapy, Hoffman said. He believes a hair follicle could be genetically engineered to make any kind of protein. ‘Why can’t it make insulin? Why can’t it make interferon (an immune system protein)?’ he asked. ‘You’ve seen people with two yards (meters) of hair. That is all protein. That little hair follicle is a tremendous factory.’ Scientists have tried to use gene therapy to change other cells in the body, notably muscle and liver cells, but Hoffman said hair follicles are easier to get to.

#2702 Tue, 17 Sep 2002 12:49:03 Tue, 17 Sep 2002 12:49:02 Why Israelis love to trip Cc: omnitribe they have fewer options for social lubrication! Gene helps Jews resist alcoholism By David Derbyshire, Science Correspondent (Filed: 17/09/2002) Genes, and not religious conviction, explain why Jewish people typically have fewer drink problems than non-Jews, researchers said last night. A study has shown that a genetic mutation carried by at least a fifth of Jews appears to protect against alcoholism. The same inherited trait is fairly common in Asian people, but is much rarer in white Europeans. The findings could help explain why Israel has one of the lowest levels of alcoholism in the developed world. The study’s author, Dr Deborah Hasin, from Columbia University and New York State Psychiatric Institute, said: “This finding adds to the growing body of evidence that this genetic variation has a protective effect against alcoholism among Jewish groups.” The mutation, called ADH2*2, is involved in the way the body breaks down alcohol in the bloodstream. Scientists are unsure exactly how it protects against alcoholism, but it is thought to increase levels of the toxic chemical acetaldehyde – a by-product of alcohol metabolism. At high levels, acetaldehyde causes headaches, nausea and flushing. Almost all white Europeans lack the ADH2*2 variation and so produce less of the by-product. Thus drinking tends to be more pleasurable, increasing the risks of alcoholism. Past research has shown that the variant is found in 20 per cent of Jewish people. Those with the variant tend to drink less frequently, consume less alcohol overall or have more unpleasant reactions to drink. The new study, published today in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, looked at the relationship between the gene variant and alcoholism among 75 Israeli Jews aged 22 to 65. Those with ADH2*2 had “significantly lower indicators of alcohol dependence”. The protective effect of the gene depended on the country of origin and how recently they had arrived in Israel. The effect was strongest for Ashkenazis, Jews of European background and arrivals from Russia before 1989, and the Sephardics, those of Middle Eastern and North African background, than for more recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union, she said. Among those with the gene variant, the recent Russian immigrants tended to have a history of much heavier drinking than their Sephardic and Ashkenazic counterparts. Dr Hasin said: “Russia has one of the highest levels of alcohol consumption whereas Israel has one of the lowest.”

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. – Sept 27th Friday DJ Sangeet (Spirit Zone, Freeform) Germany at Omni Tribe party on more party details to come… – Sept 28 – Saturday – Aural Beats Trance Party 2 dance floors, indoor & outdoor, Omnitribe $25 11pm – 9am.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads so uth at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebra ted around September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that t he everturning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great remind ers that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their seasons, and that none will last for ever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced b y their opposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the e bb and flow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witche s still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass t hrough times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die a llowing their spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special ch aracter. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each p assing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achie ve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and t he celebrant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves a nd the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touc h the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and ot her foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use sho uld be harvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, yo u may wish to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leav es are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of prot ection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candl es should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of mater ial with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer ca n empowered for various purposes. – Sept 28 – Saturday – Aural Beats Tra nce Party 2 dance floors, indoor & outdoor, Omnitribe $25 11pm – 9am.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at th e Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated aroun d September 21) we again celebrate the magnificant balance that the evertu rning Wheel of the Year promises. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as well as the heady days of summer are temporary that all things have their seasons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym require that all things be balanced by their o pposites. On these days our ancestors aligned themselves in the ebb and fl ow of life. As winter, spring, summer and autumn pass by, Witches still r econnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch th em unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through ti mes of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing t heir spirits to pass into Summerland. Every event in life is rich in purpo se and meaning. Each day, night and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of th e greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing se ason and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expan siveness that without ritual and celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps the m-ent of power and change, and the celebr ant partakes in s-ething greater than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the Go d and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the Alleg, the Lord Pan and Lady Gaia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine P ower. This festival is associated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an e xcellent addition to the festivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plants you wish to dry for winter use should be ha rvested now. Depending on when the leaves turn in your area, you may wis h to parafin them and add them to your house decorations. Dip the leave qu ickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dr y you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection ca rved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red. Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empower ed for various purposes. – Sept 28 – Saturday – Aural Beats Trance Party 2 dance floors, indoor & outdoor, Omnitribe $25 11pm – 9am.

When the sun crosses the equator and heads south at the Autumnal Equinox, the second of the harvest festivals, (celebrated around September 21) we again celeb rate the magnificant balance that the everturning Wheel of the Year promis es. These equinoxs are great s that the bleak days of winter as we ll as the heady days of summer are temporary, that all things have their s easons, and that none will last forever. The law of polarity and rythym re quire that all things be balanced by their opposites. On these days our an cestors aligned themselves in the ebb and flow of life. As winter, spring summer and autumn pass by, Witches still reconnect with the ever moving flow of life, we make our plans and watch them unfold. If some do not c-e to fruition we try again. We pass through times of joy and sorrow; little ones are born, the older ones die allowing their spirits to pass into Summ erland. Every event in life is rich in purpose and meaning. Each day, nigh t and season has its own special character. Rituals connect us to both the big and little dramas of the year and of the greater life cycle. We unite the character and spirit of each passing season and do magic to transform our lives, giving them a depth and an expansiveness that without ritual a nd celebration we would never achieve. Even the most humble ritual helps t he m-ent of power and change, and the celebrant partakes in s-ething great er than him or herself. Some would say that in these moments of ecstasy we actually stand outside ourselves and the God and Goddess within us bec-e brighter, more powerful and we touch the All; eg, the Lord Pan and Lady Ga ia, Jesus, God, however you see the Divine Power. This festival is assoc iated with the taking of corn and other foods that are to be harvested at this time. Cornbread cakes and cider are an excellent addition to the fest ivities. The frost will hit soon, so the last of the herbs and other plant s you wish to dry for winter use should be harvested now. Depending on w hen the leaves turn in your area, you may wish to parafin them and add the m to your house decorations. Dip the leave quickly in melted parafin, and put them on wax paper. When the leaves are dry you can put them in a huge, decorative jar with a sigil of protection carved lightly on s-e or all of the leaves. Colors used for candles should be brown, orange, gold or red . Altar cloths can be made of material with fall designs. River and stream stones gathered over the summer can empowered for various purposes. – S ept 28 – Saturday – Aural Beats Trance Party 2 dance floors, indoor & outd oor, Omnitribe $25 11pm – 9am.

VERRENGIA .c The Associated Press A study suggests the oft-reported sensation of leaving the body during a brush with death may have a simple explanation in the body itself. These ‘out-of-body’ and ‘near-death’ experiences – in which people resuscitated on the operating table speak of being drawn toward a brilliant light, or looking down on their own bodies – may be influenced by a portion of the brain misfiring under stress, the study suggests. The paper describes one patient’s visions while she was being evaluated for epilepsy and does not wrestle with issues of the soul. And researchers noted that the brain-mapping results may not entirely explain the phenomenon. The study focuses on a processing center in the brain known as the angular gyrus, thought to play an important role in the way the brain analyzes sensory information to give us a perception of our own bodies. When it misfires, they speculate, the result can be visions of floating outside of ourselves. The findings were published in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. ‘We do not fully understand the neurological mechanism that causes OBEs,’ conceded the study’s lead researcher, neurologist Dr. Olaf Blanke at the University Hospitals of Geneva and Lausanne in Switzerland. Skeptics of out-of-body experiences said the experiment goes a long way toward providing a scientific explanation for what some believe is a paranormal phenomenon, even if the study is based on only one patient. ‘It’s another blow against those who believe that the mind and spirit are somehow separate from the brain,’ said psychologist Michael Shermer, director of the Skeptic Society, which seeks to debunk alien abductions and other paranormal claims. ‘In reality, all experience is derived from the brain.’ Other researchers described the experiment as modest but interesting. Neurologist Dr. Bruce Greyson of the University of Virginia said the experiment does not necessarily prove that all out-of-body experiences are illusions. ‘We cannot assume from the fact that electrical stimulation of the brain can induce OBE-like illusions that all OBEs are therefore illusions,’ Greyson said. The Swiss researchers mapped the brain activity of a 43-year old woman who had been experiencing seizures for 11 years. They implanted electrodes to stimulate portions of her brain’s right temporal lobe. The temporal lobe, which includes the angular gyrus structure, is associated with perception of sound, touch, memory and speech. Blanke suspects that the right angular gyrus integrates signals from the visual system, as well as information on touch and balance. When electrical stimulation was applied, the patient reported seeing herself ‘lying in bed, from above, but I only see my legs and lower trunk.’ She also described herself as ‘floating’ near the ceiling. Millions of people have reported OBEs, but relatively few have been clinically analyzed. Last December, the British medical journal Lancet published a Dutch study in which 344 cardiac patients were resuscitated from clinical death. About 12 percent reported seeing light at the end of a tunnel, or speaking to dead relatives. Other researchers have suggested that OBEs occur as brain cells die from lack of oxygen, or when the brain releases pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins.

Also, the email extolling dippies was sarcastic, dippies are PCP and embalming fluid. I would never advocate that. Finally, for those at the Body Temple around midnight, I was imitating Elvis towards the later years, and i think I got a little too much into character. So much for mthod acting.

#2718 Tue, 24 Sep 2002 11:08:56 Tue, 24 Sep 2002 11:08:56 Bob Wallace dies, Dancesafe/psychedelics benefactor, formerly of Microsoft Software pioneer Bob Wallace dies sBrier Dudley Seattle Times technology reporter AP In this 1978 photo are the 11 people who started Microsoft. Shown, top row f rom left, are: Steve Wood, Bob Wallace and Jim Lane; second row, Bob O’Rear Bob Greenberg, March McDonald and Gordon Letwin; and front row, Bill Gat es, Andrea Lewis, Marla Wood and Paul Allen. is article seattletimes.nwsource/cgi-bi archives.seattletimes.nwsource/web/Search web archive Bob Wallace, a pioneer in Seattle’s early software community and Microsoft’s ninth employee, died unexpectedly at his home Friday in San R afael, Calif. The son of an official in President Kennedy’s administration came to Seattle in the 1970s to study computing at the University of Wash ington. He joined a circle of local enthusiasts who early on realized the potential of “microcomputers” that brought the power of computers to the m asses, invented a popular early word processor and coined the term “sharew are” for software distributed free with the idea that users would voluntar ily pay if they liked the product. Idealistic, straight-talking, political and intense, Mr. Wallace, 53, became a programmer because he thought comp uting was the best way to expand the mind. He also thought ds had simil ar potential, and in 1998 he established a foundation to fund research int o psychedelic ds. “He was brilliant and died way too young,” said his w ife, Megan. They were married in 1986 at the Seattle Aquarium but had sepa rated. They had no children. “He was a friendly person but also very focus ed. Whatever he was interested in at the time was what he focused on.” An autopsy report was still pending yesterday, but it appeared Mr. Wallace di ed of natural causes, said Gary Tindel, assistant Marin County coroner. On e of the many Internet rumors about Microsoft is that the company was name d after one of Mr. Wallace’s beloved cats, but his wife dispelled that yes terday. “No, he named the cat after Microsoft because she’s tiny and soft, ” she said, adding that the 19-year-old animal is doing fine. Mr. Wallace was born in Washington, D.C., and studied computing first at Brown Univers ity. Before joining Microsoft, Mr. Wallace worked at the Retail Computer S tore, Seattle’s first computer store and a hangout for hobbyists. It was t here that Bill Gates taped up a sign advertising for programmers to work a t his new company. Mr. Wallace took the bait and moved to Albuquerque, N.M ., where Microsoft started, then moved back when it relocated to the Easts ide. “Bob was a great early contributor to Microsoft,” Gates said yesterda y. “He was one of our first employees and he built our first Pascal produc t. I want to extend my personal sympathies to his family and friends.” Mic rosoft soon grew too big for a man who showed little tolerance for authori ty. He was used to reporting directly to Gates and chafed under a new supe rvisor, so he quit to start his own company, Quicksoft, in 1983. Mr. Wallawas the first to leave Microsoft with a package of stock options, 450 s hares that multiplied with stock splits to more than 100,000 shares. But t hey had little value at first because Microsoft didn’t go public until 198 6. Quicksoft sold a word-processing program he wrote called PC-Write, a po pular product in the days before Microsoft Word dominated the market. It w as at Seattle-based Quicksoft that Mr. Wallace coined the term shareware. He felt shareware was a way to both make money and do good for the world b y getting software into people’s hands, said Jonathan Feil, a Seattle soft ware-business attorney and longtime friend of Mr. Wallace’s. “Shareware wa s somthing he always compared to public television E28094 you could us e it, but if you were a frequent user you ought to make your contribution and join up,” he said. Feil noted that approach continued through the Inte rnet era with programs such as Netscape Communications’ browser and RealNe tworks’ media player, which were distributed free so consumers could sampl e them and be enticed to buy a premium version. Mr. Wallace moved to Calif ornia after he sold Quicksoft to another Microsoft retiree in 1991. Friend s said Mr. Wallace was a science-fiction fan and lover of “Star Trek” and whose interest was piqued by things scientific. Several recalled his “elec tric pickle,” a party trick where he would connect a pickle to an electric al outlet in a way that it glowed bright green. Mr. Wallace was also a man of conviction who advocated passionately for causes. One mthod was organ izing groups such as the Northwest Computer Society, a hobbyist group form ed in 1976, and the Washington Software Association, a business lobby he h elped found in 1985. “Bob was a man of great integrity. You really knew wh ere you stood with him,” Feil said. “Sometimes people found that intensity hard to take, but Bob was very well-respected by the industry for his opi nions and his views of and for his commitment to social and political caus es.” Mr. Wallace’s early death was a loss for the world, said Ken Berkun, a friend from the early Seattle PC days and now an executive at Singingfis h. “He was unconventional, he really cared, he cared about the world a nd wanted to change the world for the better,” he said.

Do 20% of ravers drop dead immediately after taking E? What a load of crap. The Brits skewed the original US story, which is included after the UK story. The news certainly gets twisted as it wends its way about. d users more prone to Parkinsons Friday September 27th 2002 The Times, London A SINGLE night of taking the d Ecstasy can cause serious brain damage and hasten the onset of Parkinson’s disease, scientists say. Just two to three Ecstasy tablets – a quantity that thousands of clubbers take during raves – can permanently destroy brain cells that affect movement and reasoning, according to American research that links the d to Parkinson’s for the first time. The finding creates the nightmare vision of a neurological time-bomb for a generation of clubbers, who will not know until middle age whether they are to pay such a high price for one evening’s excitement. A study involving squirrel monkeys and baboons found that both species of primate suffered irreversible damage to key cells called dopamine neurons, which are lost in Parkinson’s, after receiving three low doses of Ecstasy at three-hour intervals. The findings, by a team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, suggest that Ecstasy may be raising the possibility of thousands of cases of early-onset Parkinson’s. The study is particularly significant because baboons are one of the best animal models for the human brain. George Ricaurte, who led the research, said that widespread abuse of the d may already be claiming victims of such neurological damage. “It is possible that some of the more recent cases of suspected young-onset Parkinson’s disease might be related but that this link has not been recognised,” he said. A shortage of dopamine, the crucial brain signalling chemical, interferes with movement causing the characteristic Parkinsonian tremor and also affects emotional and cognitive responses. Symptoms usually appear in old age, emerging once about 90 per cent of the brain’s supply of the chemical has been lost. (The Times, London) and the American orginial story, infinitely more balanced: STUDY LINKS ECSTASY USE WITH PARKINSON’S WASHINGTON ( AP ) Partying with Ecstasy several times a night, a common practice among users of the illegal d, may damage key neurons in the brain and perhaps hasten the onset of Parkinson’s disease, according to a study in monkeys. But some researchers were skeptical that the results from the animal studies translate to humans and said such studies discourage research that might lead to medical uses for Ecstasy. A Johns Hopkins University researcher injected squirrel monkeys and baboons with three shots of Ecstasy, also known as E, three hours apart, mimicking dosages “often used by E users at all-night dance parties.” He said the d caused enduring damage to dopamine-producing neurons in the brains of the animals. The damage was still evident two weeks to six weeks later, said Dr. George A. Recaurte, the lead author the study appearing this week in the journal Science. But he said it is not clear if the damaged neurons will repair themselves, a key factor in whether Ecstasy could cause Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder triggered by the permanent loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells. “We already know from the literature that brain dopamine declines with age,” he said. “A young individual who sustains injury to these dopamine cells and depletes their reserve may be at greater risk of Parkinsonism.” But Julie A. Holland, a psychiatrist on the faculty of the New York University School of Medicine, said earlier studies on humans have failed to show that Ecstasy causes permanent damage to dopamine neurons. “It is a big leap to extrapolate what he is seeing in these primates and what you expect to see in Parkinson’s syndrome,” Holland, the author of a book on the risk and recreational use of Ecstasy. She said Ricaurte’s research has helped “demonize” Ecstasy and prevented studies to determine if the d could be used to treat post traumatic syndrome. Dr. Alan I. Leshner, former head of the National Institute on d Abuse, however, said the Ricaurte study shows “that even an occasional use of Ecstasy can lead to significant damage to brain systems.” Stephen Kish, a University of Toronto researcher studying Parkinson’s disease and Ecstasy, said he analyzed the brain of a deceased habitual Ecstasy user two years ago and found no evidence of dopamine neuron damage. “Ricaurte’s findings do raise a concern that Ecstasy may damage the dopamine neurons and potentially cause Parkinson’s,” said Kish. But he said the current study “might not translate to humans” and has not proven a clear connection between the d and the brain disease. In the study, the animals were given six milligrams for every 2.2 pounds of their weight. One of five monkeys and one of five baboons used in the study died shortly after receiving the shots. The brains of the surviving animals were examined microscopically and chemically after two to eight weeks. The nerve endings where the dopamine is processed were destroyed, said Ricaurte. “There hasn’t been a single animal that escaped the dopamine ( cell ) lesions,” he said. Ricaurte said the damage was not enough to cause Parkinson’s symptoms, but there is “a clinical concern” that repeated use of Ecstasy will diminish the natural reserve of brain cells and lead to early disease. Holland said Ricaurte’s study in monkeys and baboons does not relate to the experience of human recreational users of Ecstasy. “The dose that he gave killed 20 percent of the animals immediately,” said Holland. “Clearly these animals reacted to the d differently than humans because not one out of five Ecstasy users drops dead.” Also, she said Ricaurte’s study injected Ecstasy, while most human users take the d orally. ds taken orally are less concentrated in the body than ds that are injected, said Holland. The NYU psychiatrist said “there is a lot of politics involved” in Ricaurte’s study because the government does not want to allow medical research with Ecstasy, even though it has been approved for study by the Food and d Administration. Ricaurte’s research has been funded by the National Institute on d Abuse, the agency Leshner once headed. Leshner is now chief executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the organization that publishes Science, the journal printing Ricaurte’s current study on Ecstasy.

We thought this th ing had gotten as big as it was gonna get by the time they ran their littl e article.” Kelly said the first cars of many subway trains have become so overrun that the second car has become a de facto “singles car for people who aren’t so desperate as to need to squeeze into the front car.” Of gr eater concern to the MTA, though, is that since publication of the Sun art icle, various sexual subcultures have gotten into the game, claiming other cars on the trains. For instance, the third car of every train is better known as the lesbian car, Kelly said. “The last car of every train, approp riately enough, is the anal sex car,” Kelly added. What’s more, Kelly sai d, some of the cars have been claimed by two groups or more. For instance, the Greater New York Association of Single Parents dubbed the fifth car o f each train the “single parents car” on Monday, seemingly unaware that th e North American Man-Boy Love Association had already identified the fifth car of every train as the web flakmag/rejected/hans on man-boy love” car. “It was awful,” said one single mother who asked not to be identified as she got off the A train at 14th Street. “My 12-year-old son and I boarded the fifth car of the train hoping to meet a suitable male role model. Instead, I found myself using my pepper spray t o fend off four overweight middle-aged men in leather pants who assumed I was Jeffrey’s pimp.” Kelly said the problem of multiple groups claiming th e same car has been exacerbated by some groups only claiming a car on one or two particular subway lines. “I stepped onto the F train last night an d, without knowing it, boarded the third car, which apparently is the ‘BDS M’ car,” said Brooklynite Adam Paulson, explaining that on the R train the third car is the “wounded in love” car. “Before I knew what was going on, a man intent on punching me out was moving toward me quickly. “Just befo re he connected, I thought it was a mugging,” Paulson said. “But then I ca me to a few minutes later and saw that I’d been tied to the handrail and t hat my pants were around my ankles. It took me five minutes to convince ca r mistress Dominique that I wasn’t role playing and that I really did just want to go home. MTA spokesman Kelly said Paulson could’ve had it worse. “That guy (Paulson) could’ve boarded the ‘mightybrown.cr osswinds.net/lyrics/80s/yy Chicks with dicks’ car,” which is the fourth car on the F train, Kelly said. Many subway riders, however, are n ot amused. Some MTA customers are already calling on the system to put thi ngs back the way they were, by randomly assigning seats to passengers. Sa id Greenwich Village resident Susan Rabinowitz, “I’m beginning to pine for the days when all the cars were the ‘Leave me the hell alone’ car. “For t he time being, I’m just seeking out the ‘I’d rather curl up with a good bo ok than a man or woman’ car and making due,” she said. thanks constantine! web flakmag/rejected/train ning: The foll owing is the logical outgrowth.

KALI POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe a new group for women who goes to trance parties in NYC – boy would i love to l moderate that list but i don’t think i would qualify. if any female steps foward i can do everything for them to set it up. smthing like nycTRANCEwomyn or whatever they want. womyn only!! that way they could gossip about the men, talk about cuddle puddles, flowers, how too aggro the male DJs are, show support for DJs Icy Coil and Angeles, make banners, discuss the finer points of twirling poi, and share their feelings about everything. Maybe even finger the more lecherous males, I mean point out the rascals 🙂 (Half of the preceeding is in jest but you never know there may be somthing worthwhile here) The list members could get a discount to parties… I’m sure most organizers would support that, given that women make less than men anyway and have less discretionary income. Any takers to moderate?

#2734 Fri, 4 Oct 2002 17:40:27 Fri, 4 Oct 2002 17:40:27 WASPs have been eating their young for ten milennia Eat the family New Scientist 11:00 28 February 01 A carefully split thigh bone provides the first irrefutable evidence of recent human cannibalism in the UK, says a British archaeologist. There is strong evidence of cannibalism among Britons living 10,000 years ago. But now archaeologists think Celts who fought the invading Romans 2000 years ago also ate each other, probably as part of a sacrificial religious ritual. Archaeologists led by Mark Horton of Bristol University estimate that a pit unearthed in Gloucestershire contains around 40 bodies. Horton thinks these people may have been killed before an important battle as a mass sacrifice to the Celtic dog god of the underworld. The excavation is still under way, but the team has already made several grisly finds, including the femur, which was split lengthways and had the marrow scraped out. “We were very surprised to find this. You cannot do this by accident – splitting the bone in this way is quite a delicate procedure. And the only reason you would want to extract the marrow is to eat it,” Horton told New Scientist. Examinations of other Iron Age bones unearthed from beneath the boating lake at Eton College in England have revealed butchery marks, which some archaeologists consider evidence of modern cannibalism. But the femur is convincing, says Horton. Criminal cull Horton’s team have so far excavated seven of the estimated 40 skeletons from the pit – a sink hole through limestone. The hole also contains dog bones. Radiocarbon dating on three bones from different skeletons dates them to between 30BC and 130AD. One of the skulls shows evidence of sacrifice, says Horton. “The person was poleaxed from the back, then the front of their head was also smashed completely. They were clubbed to death in a rather vicious way. “We know from descriptions in Caesar’s Gallic Wars that the Celts held mass sacrifices before big battles. They rounded up the criminals initially, then the lame and the sick. What’s interesting about our bones it that quite a lot show evidence of lameness or disease.” Celts believed that a dog god guarded the underworld. “And the sink hole would have been seen as an opening to the underworld,” says Horton. Human diet But Horton thinks that cannibalism was not widespread in the UK 2000 years ago. If it was, other archaeologists would already have found evidence of it, he says. Recent research found that cannibalism existed among the Anasazi tribe living in the US 900 years ago. In some parts of the world, such as Fiji, the practice is thought to have been common until around 150 years ago. The excavation of the Alveston pit is the subject of a documentary to be shown on the UK’s Channel 4 at 2100 on Thursday 1 March.

Tokkyo also made and sold steroids – the ultimate gray market enterprise) THE STATE; 7 Held, ds Seized; Crime: Raids target a ring importing K, also known as K, from Mexico into the U.S. The Los Angeles Times; Los Angeles, Calif.; Oct 3, 2002; JESSICA GARRISON; Abstract: The federal indictment announced this week charges that Jorge Chevreuil Bravo, owner of Granero de Oro, and Dr. Francisco Molino, head of Ttokkyo, used an Internet Web site to sell K to distributors across the United States. Neither man was authorized to export pharmaceuticals, but authorities said their network was believed to be responsible for 70% to 80% of the d used illegally in the United States. Three of the 10 indicted remain at large. The indictment charges the 10 with participating in a conspiracy to import and distribute K, conspiracy to launder money, and possession of K with intent to distribute. Bravo also is charged with engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. Full Text: (Copyright The Times Mirror Company; Los Angeles Times 2002. Allrights reserved.) A cross-border ring that produced and distributed massive amounts of the d K, known on the rave circuit as K, has been broken up and its leaders arrested, officials said Wednesday. After a two-year investigation and raids in the United States and Mexico, authorities arrested seven people and made some of the largest seizures ever of K. The d, an animal tranquilizer that became popular among people for its hallucinatory effects, is also known as vitamin K, Super K and Kit Kat. K also has been used as a date-rape d. The investigation began in Simi Valley, after police arrested a suspect on suspicion of selling the d in a health club. From there, investigators picked up a trail that led to a pharmaceutical manufacturing firm in Morelos, Mexico, called Laboratorios Ttokkyo and a Tijuana-based veterinary business called Granero de Oro, authorities said. The federal indictment announced this week charges that Jorge Chevreuil Bravo, owner of Granero de Oro, and Dr. Francisco Molino, head of Ttokkyo, used an Internet Web site to sell K to distributors across the United States. Neither man was authorized to export pharmaceuticals, but authorities said their network was believed to be responsible for 70% to 80% of the d used illegally in the United States. Authorities executed search warrants in New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Boston and San Diego. In Kansas, they seized 23,000 vials of the d. Authorities in Mexico seized another 200,000 vials last week. The d, which was declared a controlled substance by the U.S. government in 1999, is typically sold on the street in 10-millimeter vials for between $50 and $100 a vial, said Assistant U.S. Atty. Timothy Coughlin. In Southern California, authorities seized more than $500,000 in cash. Bravo and Molino were arrested in Panama and transported to Miami in September. They will eventually be moved to San Diego, Coughlin said. Three of the 10 indicted remain at large. The indictment charges the 10 with participating in a conspiracy to import and distribute K, conspiracy to launder money, and possession of K with intent to distribute. Bravo also is charged with engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. Credit: TIMES STAFF WRITER Abstract: Three of the 10 indicted remain at large.

#2764 Wed, 23 Oct 2002 18:06:31 Wed, 23 Oct 2002 18:06:31 Stefan speaks Cc: k-os “In the end, the trouble with mainstream trance is basically that it’s got no Dionysian madness, no real rock’n’roll in it. For that, you’ve got to turn to the underground and to raves like El Cuco. Stefan, a lightly bearded 21-year-old who’s flown in from New York despite a sprained knee, boasts that “psy-trance isn’t scared to go extremely evil.” When he saw bands from leading U.K. label Dragonfly play at a Synthetic Sadhus rave in New York, “they scared the living shit out of me. Then the party got closed down at 7:30 a.m., and I was in such a state that I went outside and latched onto the first person I saw. I ended up spending six hours with this drag queen-just telling her anything and everything. But it’s always an adventure!” from web shpongle/hallucinogen/live-elcuco022000 fom web shpongle/hallucinogen/live-elcuco022000

#2785 Thu, 31 Oct 2002 20:30:31 Thu, 31 Oct 2002 20:30:31 Court backs Doctors on Medical Marijuana (Oct. 30) – For the first time ever, a federal appeals court has ruled that the government cannot revoke the prescription d licenses of doctors who recommend marijuana to sick patients. A three-judge panel also ruled unanimously Tuesday that the Justice Department cannot investigate doctors for merely recommending marijuana to patients, upholding a 2-year-old court order that prohibited such federal action. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that such investigation would interfere with the free-speech rights of doctors and patients. “An integral component of the practice of medicine is the communication between doctor and a patient. Physicians must be able to speak frankly and openly to patients,’ Chief Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder said. Federal prosecutors argued that doctors who recommend marijuana use are interfering with the d war and circumventing the government’s judgment that the illegal d has no medical benefit. But the San Francisco-based court, noting that doctors are not allowed to dispense marijuana themselves, said physicians had a constitutional right to speak candidly with their patients about marijuana without fear of government sanctions. Doctors who recommend marijuana in the eight states that have medical marijuana laws “will make it easier to obtain marijuana in violation of federal law,’ government attorney Michael Stern had said. The Justice Department had no immediate comment. In a concurring opinion, Judge Alex Kozinski wrote that there was a wealth of evidence that may support marijuana use for sick patients, and said the government attacked doctors as a means to paralyze California’s medical marijuana laws. The case was brought by patients’ rights groups and doctors who said they have been fearful of recommending marijuana, even if it’s in a patient’s best interest. U.S. District Judge William Alsup blocked the Justice Department from revoking doctors’ d Enforcement Administration licenses to dispense medication “merely because the doctor recommends medical marijuana to a patient based on a sincere medical judgment.’ Alsup’s order also prevented federal agents “from initiating any investigation solely on that ground.’ The case was an outgrowth of Proposition 215, which California voters approved in 1996. It allows patients to lawfully use marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation. Following California, Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, Oregon and Washington adopted laws allowing the sick to use marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation. The Clinton administration said doctors who recommended marijuana would lose their federal licenses to prescribe medicine, could be excluded from Medicare and Medicaid programs, and could face criminal charges. The Bush administration continued Clinton’s fight. The government argued that doctors were aiding and abetting criminal activity for recommending marijuana because it’s an illegal d under federal narcotics laws. But the appellate court said doctors could be liable only if they actually assisted patients in acquiring marijuana. Merely recommending the d “does not translate into aiding and abetting, or conspiracy,’ Schroeder wrote. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court said clubs that sell marijuana to the sick with a doctor’s recommendation are breaking federal d laws. Pot clubs continue to operate and dole out marijuana to those with a doctor recommendation, including several in San Francisco, as local authorities look the other way. Many cities and counties issue identification cards for sick patients with a doctor’s note recommending marijuana. Federal officials have raided many marijuana clubs in California, and a case brought by an Oakland pot club challenging such raids is pending before the 9th Circuit. That case argues that the states have the right to experiment with their own d laws and that Americans have a fundamental right to marijuana as an avenue to be free of pain. 10/30/02 07:19 report may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or otherwise distributed without the prior written authority of The Associated Press. All active s have been inserted by AOL. A three-judge panel also ruled unanimously Tuesday that the Justice Department cannot investigate doctors for merely recommending marijuana to patients, upholding a 2-year-old court order that prohibited such federal action. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that such investigation would interfere with the free-speech rights of doctors and patients. “An integral component of the practice of medicine is the communication between doctor and a patient. Physicians must be able to speak frankly and openly to patients,’ Chief Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder said. Federal prosecutors argued that doctors who recommend marijuana use are interfering with the d war and circumventing the government’s judgment that the illegal d has no medical benefit. But the San Francisco-based court, noting that doctors are not allowed to dispense marijuana themselves, said physicians had a constitutional right to speak candidly with their patients about marijuana without fear of government sanctions. Doctors who recommend marijuana in the eight states that have medical marijuana laws “will make it easier to obtain marijuana in violation of federal law,’ government attorney Michael Stern had said. The Justice Department had no immediate comment.

#2794 Wed, 6 Nov 2002 17:53:49 Wed, 6 Nov 2002 17:53:48 I want my medical E (to treat my Parker Stevenson disease!) (Further evidence that The New Scientist is a bunch of British house pill billies in disguise) The World’s No.1 Science & Technology News Service Ecstasy has dramatic effect on Parkinson’s symptoms 19:00 06 November 02 Exclusive from New Scientist web new scientist/inprintPrint Edition Ecstasy is being hailed a s the key to better treatments for the Parkinson’s disease, marking a comp lete turnaround from a few weeks ago when ecstasy was condemned for causin g the disease. New animal studies have confirmed anecdotal reports that e cstasy can dramatically curb the uncontrollable arm and leg movements that plague so many people with Parkinson’s. But the finding may be of little immediate help to sufferers. The researchers are not calling for patient s to be given legal supplies of ecstasy (E). Instead, they want to look for related ds with the same beneficial effects. And patients are bein g warned against trying E for themselves. “It’s impure, illegal and dan gerous,” says Robert Meadowcroft, policy director of Britain’s Parkinson’s Disease Society. Others are calling for further animal studies to establi sh the effective dose, followed by human trials. “People who are suffering should have the right to decide carefully for themselves whether or not t o take E,” says American ds policy campaigner Rick Doblin. His organ isation, MAPS, recently won approval from the Food and d Administration for a human trial of ecstasy for treating post-traumatic stress disorder. Regaining control The latest study was prompted by the experiences of a former stuntman, Tim Lawrence. He made headlines when he claimed in a BB C TV documentary that “E” enabled him to regain control of his body for ho urs at a time. Parkinson’s experts at the University of Manchester decided to test Lawrence’s claims. Concerns about the dangers of E ruled out h uman trials, says team member Jonathan Brotchie, who now runs Manchester-b ased biotech company Motac. So the researchers turned to marmosets with a form of the disease. Parkinson’s is caused by a loss of the dopamine-prod ucing cells in the brain. Symptoms include rigidity and a shuffling gait. Since the late 1960s doctors have treated it with L-dopa, a chemical precu rsor to dopamine that can “unfreeze” patients. The downside is that pati ents develop uncontrollable movements after taking L-dopa for a while. The ir condition tends to oscillates between flailing limbs while on the d and immobility off it. To mimic Parkinson’s, they gave six marmosets a che mical that kills dopamine neurons. Then, over the next few months, the mon keys had daily doses of L-dopa until they developed the usual side effect of uncontrolled movements. At this point the animals were given E. The effects were dramatic. Normally, monkeys on L-dopa move their arms and le gs around in a repetitive and uncontrolled way virtually all the time. But in the six hours after a dose of E, these movements happened no more th an 15 per cent of the time. E somehow reduces the debilitating side eff ects of L-dopa without blocking its beneficial effects. “The magnitude an d quality of the effect took us by surprise,” says Brotchie, whose team’s findings were unveiled this week at the conference of the Society for Neur oscience in Florida. “It was always possible that Tim’s response to ecstas y was unusual.” The researchers suspect the finding reflects E’s abilit y to stimulate the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. That might make up for a lack of serotonin caused by taking L-dopa for pr olonged periods, says Brotchie. However, there are fears that E can dam age serotonin-producing cells. And last month the journal Science publish ed a paper claiming that E can actually cause the type of damage to dop amine cells that can lead to Parkinson’s. But the evidence was far from co nclusive.

Please add this option for experiencing the solar eclipse to psy-sch edule. – Dec 19 – Full Moon (Indian Name: Full Cold/Long Nights Moon) – D ec 21 8:15pm Winter Solstice IS IT TRUE? once more the sun roaming on the carpenter’s back as he puts joist to sill and then occasionally he looks to the sky as even the hen when it dri nks looks to heaven. Once in Rome I knelt in front of the Pope as he waved from his high window. It was because of a pain in my bowels. Occasionally t he devil has crawled in and out of me, through my cigarettes I suppose, my passionate habitNow even the promised land of Israel has a Hilton and many tall buildings. Perhaps it is true, just as the sun passes over filth and is not defiled. For this reason I can book a room in a Hilton or its te rrible playfellow The Holiday Inn though I never know what city I’m in when I wake up. I have lost my map and Jesus has squeezed out of the Gideon, do wn to the bar for pretzels and a beer.Today the Supreme Court made abo rtion legal. Bless them. Bless all women who want to remake their own liken ess but not every day. Bless the woman who took the cop’s gun. Bless also t he woman who gave it back. Bless woman for the apple she married. Bless wom an for her brain cells, little cell-computers. Is it true? Hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna,krishna, hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare, they sing on the streets of Harvard Square, tinkling their little thumb cymbals and reed pipes, dancing their joy. They know what they know.When I tell the priest I am evil he asks for a definition of the word. Do you mean sin? he asks. Sin, hell! I reply. I’ve committed every o ne. What I mean is evil, ( not meaning to be, you understand, just somthin g I ate). Evil is maybe lying to God. Or better, lying to love.The pri est shakes his head. He doesn’t comprehend.But the priest understands when I tell him that I want to pour gasoline over my evil body and light it He says “That’s more like it! That kind of evil!” ( Evil it seems comes i n brands, like soup or detergent)Ms. Dog, why is you evil? It climbed into me. It didn’t mean to.Maybe my mother cut God out of me when I wa s two in my playpen. Is it too late, too late to open the incision and plan t Him there again? All is wilderness. All is hay that died from too much ra in, my stinky tears. Whose God are you looking for? asked the priest. I rep lied: a starving man doesn’t ask what the meal is. I would eat a tomato, or a fire bird or music. I would eat a moth soaked in vinegar. But is there a ny food anywhere, in the wind’s hat? in the sea’s olive?Is it true? Is it true?I wouldn’t mind if God were wooden, I’d wear Him like a house praise His knot holes, shine Him like a shoe. I would not let Him burn. I would not burn myself for I would be wearing Him. Oh wood, my father, my s helter, bless you.Bless all useful objects, the spoons made of bone, t he mattress I cook my dreams upon, the typewriter that is my church with an altar of keys always waiting, the ladders that let us climb, both fireman and roofer. Bless also the skillet, black and oil-soaked, that fries eggs l ike the eyes of saints. Bless the shoe for holding my foot and letting me w alk with the omnipotence of a cat over glass or dog shit. Bless the lights for going on giving me eyes like two small cameras. Is it true?If all this can be then why am I living in this country of black mud?AND THE LAND SHALL BECOME BLAZING PITCH, WHICH NIGHT AND DAY SHALL NEVER BE QUENCHE D, AND ITS SMOKE SHALL GO UP FOREVER. FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION IT SHAL L LIE WASTE AND NO MAN SHALL PASS THROUGH IT EVER AGAIN.Yet I pass thr ough. I pass through. On the northern shore of Lake Galilee Jesus and John preached to the local fishermen.Yet I am not a fisherman. I pass throu gh. I pass through. The sun is black mud. The moon becomes a blood ball. If religion were a dream, someone said, then it were still a dream worth drea ming. True! True! I whisper to my wood walls.The state Capitol of Bost on has a gold dome. During the War, the one I grew up in, they painted out the gold. What did they think the Nazis would do with it, make it into teet h? Peel it off and buy whores? Wrap the Mayor up in it like a mummy and put him on display in the Public Gardens?In heaven, there will be a secre t door, there will be flowers with eyes thet wink, there will be light flow ing from a bronze bell, there will be as much love as there are cunners of f the coast of Maine, there will be gold that no-one hides from the Nazis, there will be statues that the angel inside of Michelangelo’s hand fashione d. I will lay open my soul and hear an answer. Hello. Hello. It will call b ack, “Here’s a butter knife,” it will say. “So scrape off your hunger and t he mud.” But is it true? Is it true?My tongue is a slit. It cannot eat . Even if I were a king, with a whole tongue, I would be put to death with a shovel. True, I have friends, a few, each is a soul in two bodies. Each o ne is a man or a woman.Let me now praise the male of our species, let me praise men, and their eggs of courage, their fine lives of the cock, the ir awful lives in the office. Let me praise men for eating the apple and fi nding woman like a big brain of coral.Let me praise humans, praise the men of God. The men of God are God. From the Tamil I read, “The rock that resists the crowbar gives way to the roots of the tender plant.” I rea d this and go to sleep and when I wake Nixon will have declared the Vietnam war is over. No more deaths, body by body. ( But this will be such old ne ws before you read my words. Old and senile.) Still I will hear this and wi ll be happy, happy kind of, for I know there will be more wars and more dea ths and then the headlines will be no more than a petal upon a crater. Deep earth, redeem us from our redeemers. Keep us God, far from our politicians and keep us near to the grape that wakes us up. Keep us near to the wolf o f death. Keep us near to the wife of the sun.Is it true? Is it true Never mind. I’ll do my own wash.I have, for some time, called myse lf, Ms. Dog. Why? Because I am almost animal and yet the animal i lost most – that animal is near to God, but lost from Him. Do you understand? Can yo u read my hieroglyphics? No language is perfect. I only know English. Engli sh is not perfect. When I tell the priest I am full of bowel movement, righ t into the fingers, he shrugs. To him shit is good. To me, to my mother, it was poison and the poison was allof me in the nose, in the ears, in the lu ngs. That’s why language fails. Because to one, shit is a feeder of plants, to another the evil that permeates them and although they try day after of childhood, they can’t push the poison out.So much for language. So mu ch for psychology. God lives in shit- I have been told. I believe both. Is it true? Is it true?DO YOU NOT KNOW, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD, WERE YOU NOT TOLD LONG AGO, HAVE YOU NOT PERCEIVED EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN THAT GOD S ITS THRONED ON THE VAULTED ROOF OF EARTH, WHOSE INHABITANTS ARE LIKE GRASSH OPPERS?Grasshoppers and me one of them, my eight legs like crutches. B less the animals of this earth, the wolf in its hiding spoon, the fly in it s tiny life, the fish in its fragrance I lost, The Genghis dog of the Seren giti that kills its baby because it was born to kill, born to pound out lif e like flour, the mouse and the rat for the vermin and disease that they mu st put up with, all, all, bless them, bless them, lest they die without God .Bless also, the vegetable, trees, the sea without which there is no m other, the earth without which there is no father, no flowers that grow out of rock.Is it true? I can only imagine it is true that Je sus comes with his eggful of miracles, his awful death, his blackboard full of graffiti. Maybe I’m dead now and have found Him. Maybe my evil body is done with. For I look up, and in a blaze of butter is Christ, soiled with o ur sour tears, Christ, a lamb that has been slain, his guts drooping like a sea worm, but who lives on, lives on like the wings of an Atlantic saegull . Though he has stopped flying, the wings go on flapping despite it all, de spite it all.Anne Sexton “Is it true” 1975″Happy Halloween” Lisa Look, It’s never fighting for fighting sake o r art for art sake There is a battle going on ( or haven’t you heard) ( well it’s not a new one just the costumes have changed) The wolf alw ays comes in sheep’s clothing or haven’t you heard……….. Haven’t y ou heard Haven’t you heard That the truth shall set you free Set you free Don’t believe the hype. Please please don’t believe the hyp e It’s your choice Are you gunna be a leader or a follower A repressi onist or an expressionist A creator or absorbed borg style into someone e lse’s creativity You have the power Just someone somewhere told you tha t you didn’t….. And you believed them. There is no “scene” that will save you and transport you to the nirvana that you are looking for, that we’re all looking for. It has to be painstakingly created off of the bare bones of SELF. I hear my detractors already echoing in the background “Ego ego ” Not exactly. Don’t let psychological generalizations fool yo u The battle for radical self-expression……… Hey, nobody said it was going to be easy…….

#2817 Wed, 20 Nov 2002 17:02:18 Wed, 20 Nov 2002 17:02:18 Major Breakthrough vs. Genital Warts/Cervical Cancer This is not trance related unless you consider trance an orgiastic bacchana l (see you at Synthetic Sadhus 🙂 … given that 50 million Americans are infected with genital warts, and it is, with smoking, low fruit/vegetable diet and not getting an annual PAP smear, the main cause of cervical canc er, this is good news for those of you who are sexually active. Major Can cer Breakthrough? (CBS) Preliminary tests have shown a new vaccine to be 1 00 percent effective against a virus that causes cervical cancer. The adva nce has raised hopes that the conquest of cancer may be within the reach o f medical science. “It appears to be the real thing,” said Dr. Christophe r Crum, a pathologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. “You’re l ooking at some very compelling evidence that this vaccine will prevent cer vical cancer.” It remains unclear how long the protection might last. Eve n so, researchers say a vaccine could reach the market within five years o r so. The findings were published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Me dicine. Vaccines work by teaching the body’s immune defenses to recognize invading viruses and bacteria. Most types of cancer, by contrast, are bla med largely on genetic mutations and environmental factors. However, virtu ally all cases of cervical cancer are caused by a sexually transmitted vir us E28094 the human papilloma virus. A vaccine for cervical cancer is urgently being sought because the disease strikes about 450,000 women wor ldwide each year, killing about half. It is the leading cancer killer of w omen in the developing world. In the United States, where Pap tests are wi dely used for screening, it develops in about 15,000 women annually and ki lls about a third. The new vaccine, aimed at the viral strain Type 16 res ponsible for about half the cases of cervical cancer, was tested on women ages 16 to 23 at 16 sites around the country in a study led by Merck & Co. and the University of Washington. Merck developed the vaccine and funded the research. The women were watched on average for almost a year and a ha lf. Of 768 women who got vaccine injections, none showed Type 16 infectio ns or precancerous tissue. Of 765 who took dummy injections, 41 came down with persistent infections, and nine developed precancerous tissue. Inoc ulated women built up almost 60 times the concentration of virus-fighting antibodies seen in naturally infected women. Some researchers had suspected that the mucous membrane on the cervix would pose a barrier to such anti bodies. “For us, this is proof of principle,” said Merck researcher Kathr in Jansen. “There was a lot of doubt in the beginning E28094 not by me, but by others E28094 that said it would be very difficult to prevent i nfection.” In an accompanying editorial, Crum said the vaccines developed to fight diseases like smallpox and polio are now reference points in med ical history. “If the promise implicit in the study … is realized, we could, in our lifetime, see the gradual but progressive dismantling to the barriers to preventing cervical cancer,” he said. However, in part beca use cervical cancer is caused by multiple strains, it is not clear whether the disease can ever be wiped out. Laura Koutsky, a disease specialist a t the University of Washington, also cautioned: “We really only know about the short-term duration of the antibodies. Whether the antibodies persist for five years or more is not known at this point.” Dr. Douglas Lowy, a National Cancer Institute researcher, agreed that patients must be tested over longer times. But he and others agreed that a vaccine E28094 prob ably one targeted at multiple viral strains encompassing the vast share of cases E28094 might reach market fairly quickly. Such a vaccine could also stop other harm done by the virus, including genital warts in both me n and women and rare forms of penile, anal, vaginal and oral cancer. Resea rchers said the vaccine might also be taken by men to keep them from infec ting their female partners. A vaccine is already used to combat the hepat itis B virus, a sexually transmitted agent blamed for some cases of liver cancer. A9MMII, CBS Worldwide Inc. .

We blur the lines between dance club, and theater creating an environment where the tribal and the mythic coexist on the cutting edge. Body Temple integrates ancient tribal traditions and emerging new technolog ies within the modern dance club arena. These events have brought together the magical connection between shamans and performers, DJ’s and live musici ans, so people could experience the same kinds of ecstatic experiences that our ancestors found in dancing, religious rituals, and ceremonies. All of this using the driving beats of global house music. To experience the comp lete magic we invite you to travel with us the whole celebration.

Newsbrief: Could It Possibly Be True Department New Afric an High? web drcnet.org/wol/264 #lizarddung An Agence F rance Presse (AFP) report filed from Kano, Nigeria, this week takes the sea rch for a new high to a new low. According to the usually reliable AFP, dopers in the Nigerian north are using lizard excrement to get off. The lizard dung is drunk in a cocktail with laundry detergent or in a tea, or s moked with tobacco or cannabis. “I no longer have to spend much money on d rugs since I discovered the efficacy of lizard excrement,” 28-year-old Kano resident Ado Kabir told AFP. “A lot of d users are moving on to liza rd excrement. It’s easy to find and efficient in its effect,” he said. “The effect is indeed exhilarating.” Kano preferred his lizard dung in a drink mixed with water and a blue laundry detergent, he said. “When m ixed with ‘blue’ in water, it produces a strong effect similar to the effec t of drinking strong whisky to excess on a hot day. People who are too kee n on their health boil the mixture and filter it before drinking. It has a potassium taste and is really good,” he added. Another lizard dung fa n interviewed by AFP, 20- year-old Bala Abu, an unemployed high school grad uate, said he preferring smoking lizard turds. “I finished high school w ith no chance of going to college because my parents can’t afford to pay,” he complained. “I can’t find a job given my low academic qualifications. Since I discovered the use of lizard dung I have found peace because wh enever I smoke it with tobacco all my worries are gone.” Nigerian anti-dru g bureaucrats confirmed the practice and are not amused. “We have adopte d a youth sensitization campaign on the radio and television to curb the me nace,” Katsina health commissioner Yusuf Suleiman told a meeting to mark Wo rld Anti- ds Week, AFP noted. Kabir and his fellow dung-dopers remain u nworried, however. “I don’t believe it is harmful, because nobody has fa llen sick from its consumption,” he told AFP. “As far as I’m concerned, it is safe and harmless.” No word yet on DEA moves to make iguana crap a controlled substance.

KADUNA, Nigeria (Nov. 22) – Christian youths retaliated against Muslims in this northern city Friday in the third day of riots triggered by a newspaper article about the Miss World pageant. Red Cross officials said about 100 had died and 500 were seriously injured in the violence. Beauty pageant spokeswoman Stella Din said organizers were ‘saddened’ by the deaths but would not cancel the event, scheduled for Dec. 7 in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, some 225 miles southwest of Kaduna. ‘The show definitely will go on,’ she told reporters in Abuja. Sporadic gunshots and shouting could be heard in the northern city of Kaduna, which has seen the fiercest fighting. Angry mobs have stabbed and set fire to bystanders and rampaged through streets. At least four churches have been destroyed by fire. The violence began Wednesday, when the Kaduna office of ThisDay newspaper was torched after the paper published an article questioning Muslim objections to the pageant. The article, published Saturday, suggested the prophet Muhammad would have chosen a wife among the contestants. The newspaper ran a brief front-page apology Monday and a longer retraction on Thursday. On Friday, plumes of black smoke rose above this tense, religiously mixed city of several million people and authorities extended a round-the-clock curfew – although many ignored the order. Young Muslim men shouting ‘Allahu Akhbar,’ or ‘God is great,’ ignited makeshift barricades of tires and garbage. Others chanted, ‘Down with beauty’ and ‘Miss World is sin.’ In neighborhoods dominated by minority Christians, witnesses said youths smashed windows and set fires in mosques used by the ethnic Hausa and Fulani Muslims who dominate Kaduna. Fearful residents sought protection at police stations and military bases. ‘The soldiers have been very helpful, giving us bandages and first aid. Everyone is here – Muslims, Christians and pagan. We are all afraid of going home,’ said Habiba Ibrahim, who spent the night in the city’s defense academy near the government clinic where she works. ‘Only God knows when this will end.’ The bodies of those slain in the streets were taken by Red Cross workers and other volunteers to mortuaries. It was not clear exactly how many were killed. Nigerian Red Cross officials reported about 100 dead by Friday morning, said George Bennet, head of the International Federation of the Red Cross delegation. He stressed an exact figure was impossible to confirm. Other Red Cross officials said Friday that more than 500 people had been injured. Previous riots in Kaduna, a predominantly Muslim city with a sizable Christian minority, have escalated into religious battles that killed hundreds since civilian government replaced military rule in 1999. Islamist groups have warned for months that they would protest the pageant, prompting organizers to postpone the finale until after the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Muslim groups say the pageant promotes promiscuity and indecency. In the article that prompted the spasm of violence in Kaduna, ThisDay writer Isioma Daniel said, ‘What would Muhammad think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from among them.’ Security forces patrolled other major cities Friday, including the northern trading hub of Kano, where Muslim women peacefully protested. ‘We are calling on the government to stop Miss World, this show of shame. For women to expose herself to men other than their husbands is forbidden,’ said one of the protesters, Hadiza Usman. Miss World organizers insist contestants have respected conservative Muslim values by dressing conservatively. The pageant also caused controversy elsewhere; at least five contestants are boycotting it to protest judgments in Nigeria’s Islamic courts that condemned several women to death by stoning for getting pregnant while unmarried. Contestants from Costa Rica, Denmark, Switzerland, South Africa and Panama stayed away. Nigeria’s government insists none of the judgments will be carried out, although it has refused to intervene directly with the Islamic court system. AP-NY-11-22-02 1051EST

#2850 Thu, 5 Dec 2002 13:03:03 Thu, 5 Dec 2002 13:03:03 from the Synthetic Sadhus website In the interest of trance newsworthiness i am posting this here from HRE To all of you Dreamers, Wonderers and Believers, To my Friends, Brothers and Sisters, I have to announce an important news, the Saturday November 23 party was the last chapter of the Synthetic Sadhus’ four years Saga. T he New Year’s Eve is cancelled as well as ALL the upcoming parties. It i s the conclusion of a beautiful and unforgettable adventure, the conclusio n of 10 amazing years devoted to the Trance culture and 28 magical gatheri ngs in the Big Apple. I ran out of strenght, out of money and I worked to the bone for way too long… As you guys know, this music is my heartbeat and the trance scene surely remains an authentic way of life that I embrac ed with passion, but I simply can not continue to sacrifice all my energy and my love for gatherings that people chose not attend anymore. I have be en patient and offered all I could give, but I am extremely tired. It is a lways better to stop on a beautiful party than to wait for things to turn real ugly, It is time to accept reality and to accept that the trance cult ure did not prevail in New York City. Of course it was a great challenge, to offer an alternative artistic way of life in the capital of the money-d riven wild capitalist world was one hell of a challenge and We, dreamers, managed to dream in a world that does not allow dreams for the last Four y ears! But today, while records shops are either closing, either refusing t o distribute Trance any longer, while trance distributors are moving away from New York, while other productions are completely bankrupt, while lege ndary labels are disapearing or reconverting in Tech-House or progressive, we have to look at reality and accept that the Psy-Trance in U.S.A is rea lly in a dead-end situation. There is a beautiful small family that I will miss to gather, but there are NO scene, no scene allowing us to survive i ndependently, no Americans while we are in America, they did not embrace o ur revendications, our dreams, our music… I guess in America they are too used to sugar-coated suppository music, they just want easy to swallow so unds to relax from their 10 hours a day work week. Because the quest in th is country is not spiritual but material, which explains why in 5 years of trance in New York, we still don’t have any electronic radio, any kind of sponsoring, no means of distribution and information, no specialized pres s, barely a spot to put flyers in the few shops there is, cops ready for a ction outside the parties if we distribute flyers in the street, etc…etc …etc… It cost too much for a too small audience, in other words it is a dead end ! Because no one had the balls to take a risk, people want sure money and as fast as possible. And for the very few who took risks such as Us or Tsunami or Spectra, well at the last the artist refused to play because of the lack of attendance, then the last Spectra, the artist did not show up and the venue closed its doors, about us at the last Synt hetic, we barely reached 500 souls while we had more than double last year at the same date. The New York crowd is before all a club crowd, they are not interested in the underground, they are not even curious. In despite of all the amazing painters and deco artists we brang, in despite of stunn ing international line-ups, and a truly beautiful international crowd, in despite of venues with security that join us on the dancefloors, they are not curious. It is in a way the same mentality towards foreign subtitled m ovies, New Yorkers are lazy, it is too much work to read subtitles. Theref ore there is only three or four independant movie theater in the pretendou sly capital of the world ! There is such a lack of artistic motivation, of spiritual communication…And even the rave productions are falling apart one after the other, the entire electronic culture is in decline in this country, only the VERY commercial, clubby house music still drive crowds t oday, but that’s the way it is ! Personnally, Trance is too important in m y life for me to reconvert myself with more commercial productions, I woul d never find the motivation if it is only about making some dough…I’d ra ther do somthing else, I have other ressources, other passions….I will miss it, I will miss all of you, but I retire with no regrets, I met so ma ny great individuals, I have so many beautiful souvenirs and I found so mu ch inspiration, these last ten years have been unforgettable…. And thank s to you guys who supported us, who believed in the Sadhus and shared this adventure with so much love… Thanks for all the smiles, for all your ma ils and for all your support, it is what kept me going for so long ! But T rance culture beliefs represents the antagonist concept of New York City’s mentality, we represented a small knot of resistance in front of the ever growing sins of never ending greed, we proposed an other look on life, an other approach to perceive and to feel, another way to love, a TRUE way and a REAL look, but then again it does not seem that human nature instinctiv ely bends towards these directions, it requires thinking and efforts, will and determination, frankness versus fakeness, etc… Also and most import antly, the artists did change, the true pioneers, the unavoidable ones, th e ones who guided us, who made us believe, really believe became an endan gered species today, some of the new comers are arrogant, pretentious, gre edy and a torture to work with and I feel relieve to know that I won’t h ave to deal with those no more, those artists that pretend to embrace and to represent the trance culture but that want to travel only in Business c lass, cry because they stay in 200 $ a night hotels, are paid Thousands of dollars for a 2 hour set, make me rent thousands of $ of equipment they f ake to use on stage, require to have as many hotel nights as they feel for their “holidays” in New york, sometimes even asking me to pay for their n ights out before or after the party…I mean it is NEVER enough, artists l ike Alien “Reject” that could disguss any trance lovers from ever listenin g to this music again, cheap crooks….Thanks God I am only talking of a m inority, because most of the talents I brang were great guys, passionate a nd humble, inspiring people that gave a face to the amazing tracks we hear d… I mean if you consider yourself as Madonna, go in the fucking show Bus iness and do not pronounce the word underground, it is forbidden on Arsim ‘s lips…Just stay away from people who try to share a dream, because W E are true visionnaries a little too much in advance on their time…Anywa y the Sadhus will always stay alive in our memories and who knows one of t hese days, on a magical night, a flyer might announce a surprise Synthetic gathering…We never know what the future holds… Although it is the end of an era, it is also the beginning of a new one, but the foundations of the true tribe seem to have dispersed, at least in New York, let’s keep al l these magical nights and dawns alive in our memories, and remember Krisz tina who filled with grace and beauty the most memorable of these Babyloni an fragments of life in which we succeeded to form an entity….It is just an “Au revoir”….. And as always, with much Love, Peace & light….Synthe tic Sadhus endquote now I disagree. The last SS party was double booke d with the Burning Man Decompression, the biggest party of the year. It i s participatory; trance may have had a hard time encouraging a DIY ethic i n NYC, but the Burning Man ethos has not. Techno took 10 years to become mainstream enough to be commercial in this country, and Psy-Trance started 5 years after techno. It’s been a bad two year period for everyo ne in NYC, bombed in 9/11, rampant unemployment, NYPD crackdowns, shortage s of communion wafers, etc etc I’m pretty bummed out after reading this, we ‘ll get through this stronger than before. here’s why, the devil is in the details, i’ll let you work that out 🙂 The model most of the scientific community accepts today in describing evolutionary growth and change (inc luding all personal growth) is based on the work of theoretical chemist Il ya Prigogine, who won the Nobel prize in 1977 for work on what he called ” dissipative structures.” Prigogine was working in the field of thermodynam ics where for over a century scientists had been aware of a seeming contra diction between two laws of nature. On one hand, the second law of thermod ynamics states that the amount of randomness or chaos often called entr opy in the universe is always increasing. On the other hand, many thing s, including life itself, are obviously becoming more ordered, less random . Why is it, scientists wondered, that some things evolve and grow when th e overall tendency in the universe is for things to break down and become less ordered? What Prigogine noticed was that what he calls “open systems” systems that are able to exchange energy and matter with their environ ment are able to maintain their structure and even grow and evolve into more complex systems because they have the ability to dissipate entropy t o their environment in such a way that the total amount of entropy, overal l, does increase. They maintain their orderliness and even increase it at the expense, entropically speaking, of their environment. An open s ystem of which a human being is a prime example is a flow of energy. We constantly take in light, air, water, heat, nutrients, as well as all kinds of information from our senses. In turn, we dissipate to our environ ment carbon dioxide, heat, waste products, activities of various kinds, an d so on. And, we are more than just a tube with somthing flowing through it, we are the flow itself not just a “thing,” but a living, changing, evolving process. Open systems are very plastic and can handle all kinds o f fluctuation and variations in input from their environment, but each sys tem (each person) has an upper limit of how much randomness, how much entr opy, it can dissipate to its environment. This limit is based on the syste m’s structure (prevailing belief systems about oneself and one’s universe) and its degree of complexity (the degree to which one can see and experie nce the infinite connections that make our own personal universe). If flu ctuations from the environment become too much, the system cannot dissipat e enough entropy to maintain its structure and therefore begins to become internally chaotic and unstable. In other words, we feel overwhelmed. If i nput continues at this higher level, the system will finally come to a poi nt where it is so unstable that the slightest nudge brings things to a scr eeching halt. At this point the system has the ability to move in an infin ite number of unpredictable directions, like an angry crowd on the verge o f rioting or a person at a crisis point in a serious illness. This point, which Prigogine called a bifurcation point (bifurcate meaning “to divide i nto two branches”) is a kind of moment of truth. Either the system totally breaks down and ceases to exist as an organized system, or it spontaneous ly reorders itself in an entirely new way. The incredible thing about this reorganization is that the new system is totally non-causal and non-linea r with what went before. It is a true quantum leap, a death and re-birth, and the main characteristic of the new system is that it has the capabilit y to handle the fluctuations, the input from the environment, that caused the old system to become overwhelmed and break down. In Prigogine’s words, the system “escapes into a higher order.” Out of chaos comes new order, a new, more evolved system. This is how evolution happens. All things grow and evolve in this manner, whether a seed, a corporation, a highway system or a human being. This process is repeating itself millions of times eac h minute in every cell of your body. It also happens on a larger scale reg arding more macroscopic aspects of your being. Changes in core beliefs an d personal habits happen, for instance, as the old ways of looking at and dealing with the world are overwhelmed by changing input from the environm ent and can no longer disburse the entropy necessary for their survival. T he aging process, too, is a continually diminishing ability to dissipate e ntropy to the environment resulting eventually in death of the organism. The human brain, as we have said, is the ultimate open system, constantly exchanging energy with its environment. Up to a point, the system can handl e all kinds of fluctuations. But if the input becomes too much, we begin t o become overwhelmed, things temporarily break down, and the system then reorganizes itself at a higher order. Prior to the overwhelming input thing s make sense. Then, once overwhelm begins, they no longer make sense. Fin ally, after reorganization at a higher level, things make sense once again but in a whole new way, never before imagined. g this here from web syn thetic-sadhus To all of you Dreamers, Wonderers a nd Believers, To my Friends, Brothers and Sisters, now I disagree.

We could get a lot of places, but I just want to ensure that there is at least a critical mass of people. Beings that few people actually ski, we would need at least 10 people a weekend to make it fun. i would do it, if (a) we get enough people to take care of it financially and not have to beg towards the end of the season, and (b) we would charge any guests a set amount, say $10 a night, and (c) it ain’t that far out..

#2864 Tue, 10 Dec 2002 13:59:52 Tue, 10 Dec 2002 13:59:52 Details on the Psy-Trance Valhalla, the 2003 dski Lodge To: dny Cc: dragontribe, omnitribe, brainmachines Is there anyone interested in renting a ski house this winter close to NYC that will be infested with psy-trance lovers? Speak up now! This is our third year. Three is a lucky number, and we have experience on our side. to join the discussion group it will happen if (a) we get enough people to put in $$$ so we do not have to scrape at the last minute, and (b) charge any guests a set amount, say $10 a night, and (c) it’s not too far out (2-3 hours from NYC) We could get a lot of places, but I just want to ensure that there is at least a critical mass of people. Beings that few people actually ski, we would need at least 10 people a weekend to make it fun. If the ski lodge is going to be gotten we have to come up with at least $3,000 from the people who are receiving this email…. That’s $1,000 a month, $250 a weekend. Last year we got the house without having all the funds paid for hoping to get guest money. That didn’t happen so we need to raise all of it off the bat, and use guest money for gas, food, and ancillary funds. Judging by last year, the $3,000 will be to pay for the main house that we got which is pretty nice with 3BR’s a full basement 2 BA, gas fireplace, jacuzzi etc. Right off the bat I wanna say this – A $1,000 guarantees you your own bedroom for the three month season! Over $1,000 guarantees you the Master Bedroom with a jacuzzi. We could get the house for however long we want, supply exceeds demand. We may get even better deals this year. And THIS year we will have the d speakers plus aya sessions… So how about it, send a message to me or hit reply all and let us know what you can contribute or if your willing to split costs of what we need to reach $3,000 or $3,500.. if we had 5 people giving $600 or 6 giving $500 thats the cost of the house right there.

#2872 Thu, 12 Dec 2002 12:49:55 Thu, 12 Dec 2002 12:49:54 Pschedule This issue – Law vs Chaos, Spectra on the 13th, Omnitribe on the 20th, HOT/Tsunami on the 31st Edito rial on Chaos by Biochemistry Student (A Good Read) (Re: Synthetic Sadhus) “briefly read that chaos and order article posted a few days ago. in my op inion, chaos is the order and vise versa, in other words, one needs the ot her to exist, one would not be one without the other. let’s say there are two identical but separate compartmentalized spaces and they are connected by a tube. within one compartment four atoms A and four atoms B are relea sed, they are in totally free and random motion like any atoms are. after a certain time period, the most likely situation is that each compartment contains two each of atom A and B, because of their random motion (if not random and one type of atom has a certain order or an unequal characterist ic of motion relative to the other, then equal numbers of two atoms wouldn ‘t have an equally random motion and thus it would be unlikely that two co mpartments have an equal numbers of each atom.) in other words, if all ato ms are in random motion without an order, the chance that one compartment contains two A atoms and two B atoms and the other containing also two eac h of A and B atoms should be larger than the chance that one compartment c ontains one A atom and four B atoms and the other containing three A atoms and zero B atom, or chance that one compartment containing three each of A and B atoms and the other containing one each of two atoms, after a cert ain time span, right? and consider if there are yet other three compartme nts of large, middle, and small sizes and they are again connected by tube s between each other. if six each of A and B atoms are released in a large compartment, after a certain time span all three compartments should cont ain atoms but in unequal number as the space allowed for atoms to move aro und are unequal. the frequency of an atom to flow in a compartment should be the largest for the large compartment, followed by the middle and then small compartments. chances that three each of A and B atoms in the large, two each in the middle, and one each in the small compartment are larger than any other alternatives of combination of atoms, only if all atoms hav e an equally random motion. so if one experiments the two procedure of re leasing atoms in compartments and count how many of each atoms are contain ed in each compartment after 10 minutes for example and repeat it for, let ‘s say, 1,000 times, we can predict that one would almost always observe t wo each of A and B atoms in each compartment for the first case and three, two, one each of the two atoms in the large, middle, small compartment fo r the second case. being able to make a prediction instantly tells that th ere is an order, because if there is no order or tendency it’s impossible to predict that somthing happens not by chance. so what I’m trying to s ay is that, the order is the consequence of randomness, or chaos. the simp lified example of compartments characterizes the idea of entropy (I refere ed it from my chemistry text, the second example w/ unequal size I just ma de up) and entropy is always increasing, just like the time is always proc eeding to one direction. to me it seems not very meaningful comparing ord er and chaos as opposing, contradictory, and polar properties, as if they are the two separate entities. maybe we are talking about a single entity that has two opposite properties without contradiction, just like one pers on can be evil and at the same time angelic. think about it, if we couldn’ t see the person and only found evil and angelic acts caused by the person we would think the acts were done by an evil person and an angelic perso n, wouldn’t we? same logic works for this issue on the end of ss party and collective depression of ny psytrance world. trance, like everything else, has two polar properties of good and bad at the same time. having ba d times assures that there were and will be good times, as we say “bad” co mparing to those that are “good,” and that’s how we can appreciate having bad times. if we are having good times always, we wouldn’t be calling it ” good” and appreciating it because there is no bad compared to good. isn’t it sad we wouldn’t even know somthing good as good? and our rapidly growi ng civilization is now making population quite numb to things we would be loving and appreciating otherwise, psytrance release us from the insensiti vity primed by the contemporary society, as we all know. personally, tranc e is prospering and blooming ever in individuals like me. anyway that’s j ust what I’ve been feeling. by the way today I bought a book w/ a lot of p ictures called physics in the 20th century by Curt Suplee, Harry N Abrams, Inc. 20 bucks, a lot for me, but couldn’t resist. describes human-made de vices to measure and exert forces on natural properties, pictures are undo ubtedly psychedelic.” December Events -Spectra & Mindengine present….

NYCFreaks is a freaky list, to join to share really weeeeird stuff, and is not moderated. Scientists Find Brain’s Music Center WASHINGTON (Dec. 13) – Sounds from the radio slip into a melody and suddenly your mindmtskips back to an evening of moonlight and romance and happy times. It happens to everybody, but until now science was unsure just why. A new study by researchers at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., suggests that recalling that melody is the job of a part of the brain known as the rostromedial prefrontal cortex. It is the part that remembers music and is even able to recognize a sour note in the midst of a familiar tune. A team led by researcher Petr Janata of Dartmouth’s Center for Cognitive Neuroscience explored the mind’s memory for tunes by studying the brains of eight musicians as they listened to a bit of original music. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, which detects the part of the brain active in response to specific stimuli, they found that the ability to recognize music is contained in a centrally located area just behind the forehead. Janata said that part of the brain also plays a key role in learning and in the response and control of emotions. ‘Our results provide a stronger foundation for explaining the link between music, emotion and the brain,’ Janata said. In the study, published Friday in the journal Science, eight people who had studied music for at least 12 years listened to the music and were asked to pick out specific tones and to detect notes played by a flute-like instrument instead of a clarinet which had dominated the music. As they performed these tasks, the functional MRI tracked which parts of the brain were active. The researchers reported that the brains of each of the subjects tracked the sounds in a slightly different way each time the music was played. This may be the reason the same music, in different times, may prompt different emotions. Janata said the fact that the brain is naturally wired to appreciate and remember music suggests that the pleasant sounds were an important of part of the human mind from the earliest of times. ‘It’s not necessary for human survival, yet somthing inside us craves it,’ said Janata. ‘I think this research helps us understand that craving a little bit more.

#2882 Sun, 15 Dec 2002 17:54:48 Sun, 15 Dec 2002 17:54:47 response from an east coast (k) head this is brewing to be a biggie smalls stytle west coast vs east goast trancesta rap feud: Thanks for forwarding this ignorant diatribe against what is undeniably the shot in the arm that was needed by the underground NYC trance scene for years, i.e. Omnitribe & Scando-trance (call it dark minimalism if you must). If these shiny happy people want to listen to the same old spastic full on goa melodies for ever and ever, they should just go to big commercial parties with big Israeli acts and not slam the new stuff just because they don’t get it. Nothing’s more hypocritical than supposedly ‘enlightened’ flower people being so sourly negative. Go on to California…just be forwarned that the progression to rhythmic minimalism is not limited to NYC…if they paid attention to what labels are putting out in Europe, they would know. (Heard much from Hallucinagain in the last 4 years?) They should attempt to be more open minded rather than whining with pretentious pseudo poetry. I say good riddance. – Slurring Gothamite.

The so-called prophecy by expatriate seems no more than a negative view at progression of psy-trance music. The music has to be i nnovative. The style changes constantly, and it has to.

#2887 Mon, 16 Dec 2002 12:46:38 Mon, 16 Dec 2002 12:46:37 …Now Amsterdam weighs in hoo I’m not sure I understood all that, but I think what you were trying to say is what I experienced last year living in Amsterdam. The s cene out there is absolutely incredible and it is so this way because it li ves in the most basic form, the way it started out before promoters trying to make money who didn’t give a shit took over. In amsterdam, you never have to pay for a party, at the most 3 euros or so, b/c the people who thro w parties out there are the locals and so are the people who spin. So ba sically on the night of the party, everybody gets an email, told where the party will be (which is always a great underground location) and just shows up to dance their ass off. The djs will spin off tables hooked up to a generator in a van so the party can be just about anywhere. And since th ey do it because they love the scene, the do it for free (which means the p arties are free). And they are always fucking incredible and so is the m usic. I know there are laws that make that more difficult to pull off he re but it’s been done before. Do that and I guarantee new york will once again have an incredible underground scene. mtrancemaniandevil at yahoo

(Ed Note: This dialogue betwixt coasts and Europe is actually a llong neede d dialogue – in the interest of your mailbox, i promise the thread is runn ing out. If you like this conversation NYC604-subscribe ) My response, post it if you want to. Great idea, but I call “put up or shut up”. When’s your next party? Without even trying hard I can nam e many free parties: bridge parties omnitribe parties at the beach and soc cer field PSI in the pine barrens Wylie Trancemissions Lots more here and t here (eg Spectra last minute party at the restaurant) Lounge nights: Chil etrance at Opium Den Mandala at Korova Whatever Tony was calling himself at Who’s on First Plus lots of parties that charged some admission fee but we re total financial losses from the beginning.. never standing a chance of m aking money, only existing because people gave their equipment and time for free: Burning Elf parties Light-O-Matic party(s) Various producers at Nev a Lots of others… Sorry to everyone I didn’t mention. But you get the idea. I myself have spent ridiculous amounts of money on my equipment, gla d to do psytrance parties at a loss most of the time. People complain ab out spending $35 to go to a huge party.. I lose significantly more than tha t every time I haul my equipment out. And I am not the only one. BTW, t o everyone who complained about synthetic charging $35, thinking they were making a killing on those parties.. if it was so easy then why aren’t you d oing it? Do the math and figure out what a party like that costs. You ‘ll find that it is much more likely you would lose thousands than that you would make a fortune. You cannot pay $35 for a big party but you think so meone else should pay for a truck and a sound system and for a garage to pa rk the truck, and for storage space for the sound system. Then risk it a ll being confiscated to make a party for you. Well, people ARE doing tha t. If you are not satisfied with the product then return it with proof of p urchase 🙂 These dreams of beautiful free parties are all great, but it wi ll never happen through whining and complaining. Step one would be to pu t more of yourself into the parties that ARE going on, to make them better. Try dressing up a bit! Bring some food, some art or whatever. Step t wo get your wallet out and PAY for some events, WITHOUT COMPLAINING. How do you think equipment gets paid for? How do you think space gets paid for ? Step three, if you are able to pull it off, throw a party! If you are not able to pull it off, try saying somthing nice to the people who DO pul l it off, or at least try.

Basically “trance” was out lawed a few months ago due to the overwhelming d culture that it was as sociated with. I did not heed the warning and went all out anyway. I took down 2 disco balls and 10 pocket lasers (positioned to reflect off of the disco balls and splash light everywhere). The afro cuban music died dow n at about 12:30 AM and I started the trance. I had my laptop plugged into the soundboard and kicked it off with some shpongle and then layed into the crowd with some atmos, son kite & logic bomb, etc… I had 300 people on their feet. Then the cops arrived at 3:30 and killed the power. It was an amazing experience. I wanted to bust some NY attitude and yell at the c ops because we had paid for the place, but they did not want to hear it. I was told when Fidel wants it to end, it ends. The people were coming up t o me and asking me where this music comes from and they had never heard an ything like it, etc… I had a very short lived, but very sweet internatio nal DJ experience. My film screened 3 times and was well received; I shoul d have some press coming out relatively soon. Hope you are doing well. G aren at aslan-intl moked at aol /I

It’s not about the money. It’s about the trust that was lost. Sure, he was involved in doing business for John, but it was not random, detached, business. It was business within the trance family. They had a reciprocal, balanced oral agreement for months prior, that was working fine, but then kindness and trust were taken advantage of. Perhaps I’m an idealist, and not cynical enough. Maybe the lesson is to become callous and trust absolutely no one, not even in a place where you thought, maybe, just maybe you could use the good ‘ol honor system. Maybe from now on at trance gatherings,we should carry our jackets the whole time, and not risk putting it down for the instant for the pack of wolves to snatch up. Maybe we should be careful of the hugs we give because someone might just stab us in the back. I have a question for all of you, do you feel you can trust people in the NY psy trance scene? To what extent? Maybe we should take a poll. m It’s decent that a few of you offered some advice for Darius to collect his money from contracts, lawyers and what not, but that’s missing the point.

The next important thing is the d imention you set for a party if it is out doors(unfortunatly not possible in dec.) or in doors like the space we took for the party. Nagual creation s the artist we are flying in along with all the other musical artists is a magician in taking a space and changing it into a psychedelic magical 2a hanging sculptures.

That d is a serious anti-psychedelic. Under the d, people usually lose short term memory, eliminating appreciation for builds, subtle changes, or breakdowns.” djs who used to be more psychedilic that started doing lots of coke are playing nothing but straight BANG BANG with no psy. partly due to this minimal invasion but maybe partly because as stated above, they have become less sensitive. have to concurr on the cocaine aspect -out here its extra cheap, and there are tooo many trancers who are falling that way. cokers always look so strange coming back onto the dance floor after their little trip to the back room.this quote in particular- that continually disappoints me is cocaine.
