We have a variety of flavored tobacco that is served in beaut iful brass hookahs. If you wanna get down A6just follow the signs A6 to our basement, where Goa Trance is played.

I’d like to add this photo to the Missing Link archetype on web brain machines/trancespotting (web tranceam.org/trancespot ting ) (try saying that last sentence in the same tone and accent as a british game hunter) a rough sketch will do. if not, i may just use somthing from Lord of the Rings; however are we talking more Roast Mutt on trollsor Hobbits-era Goblins or is this beast a bit more blooodthirsty and malevolent? -Missing Link alias Sasquatch alias Yeti – generally onl y spotted at outdoor festivals. Easily distinguished by wild knotted hair prominent supra-orbital ridge usually covered by unibrow, crazed look i n eyes, bare chest, extra dirty pants (may have possibly been fluoro at o ne time in distant past), and well calloused hobbit feet. Is usually prom inent on the dance floor shaking fists, stomping madly, and grunting, but disappears back to cave soon after festival is over. Often found in clos e habitation with the Israeli. Not to be confused with Freaker. (Submitte d by jessw at mindspring Time to add more archetypes to Trancespotting. What was new for 2004? If anyone ha s anything to add – in terms of categories or merely more description to an existing one – send them in, and if it’s funny and/or remotely descipt ive and not too incredibly idiosyncratic, it will appear! Can anyone get a photo of “the Animal” who frequents German parties, moves in to righti n front of the stage and vicously defends it with tooth and nail? I’d i ke to add this photo to the Yeti Also, I think it’s time to start assign ed photos. Go though all the headshots you have, on .c om/nytrance (web tranceam.org/nytrance ), Safetydance photo sections, also hipchix (/hipchix/b ackinbiz (web tranceam.org/hipchix/backinbiz ) ) an d everywhere else you can imagine. try to keep it positive, the negative archetypes need kid gloves, we may just have a big box with a question m ark through it. I know where we’ll put Jacob though! The Ayahuasquero t hinks the trance people are addicted to partying. Their own style of mus ic, once you venture out of the native icaro genre, can be often jarringl y inappropriate. recently heartened by the steadily grwoing acceptance o f ayahuasca by established Brazillian church beachheads in the U.S. Alw ays perplexed by whether they are worthy enough to carry the mantle of sh aman. The Chemist makes a lot of money in the real world and would never EVER risk all that on illicit substances. The worst of the lot, they ar e incredible teases but a great source of in-jokes. Every half ass penny pinching acidhead fantasizes about becoming one but never gets beyond a Homer Simpson understanding of chemistry. They may try to lamely grow s hrooms, but once that doesn’t work for some glaring omission in the instr uctions, they give up, paying retail for the rest of their lives. A subs pecies of them actually go over the line and they are always in prison fa cing long sentences. The Crazy Jew – Sometimes a Rabbi, but never witho ut a yarmulke. Connected in some way with some crazy Chabad somewhere, C habads being somewhat liberal in their outlook. Dances like a fiend, and not afraid of substances. The older of the species troll late night aft erhours parties during non-Sabbath nights and early mornings, forever see king an escape from the bedsheet with the hole in it. Compare with Psych edelic Christian. The Door Person is usually someone nobody knows so no one will try to talk their way in for free. Ideally, it’s a well keep s ecret girlfriend or boyfriend who can be trusted not to steal money. Tra ined to not really look into your pleading eyes, and they will talk AT yo u. See also Security Guard. The Family People have entire families on the side with spouse and children at various stages of growth.. and come to trance parties for escapes. Often very organized with nice vehicles and aimmaculate organizational habits. Perfect for the trance communit y. Compare with Nuclear Unit. The Entrepreneur uses their trance connec tions to make money in legal (or mostly legal) ways, such as selling jewe lry, moving or recruitment for pharmaceutical studies at universities. S ee also Bottom Fisher. The Ex-Organizer leave the scene after giving e verything their all. For thoase of them who built their enterprise on fa mily money, they escape to back to law or enroll in somthing like archi tecture school, or whatever, will excoriate others for not”getting it” S ee also Jaded Trancer and Yuppie. The Experimental DJ will play out of genre tracks just to keep things lively, often at very inappropriate time s, to the dismay of the dancers. This role cannot be played for long unl ess the Experimental DJ is in a position of power or influence, otherwise they are bounced out the door, never to return. The secret ally of the Live Set Critic. The Jaded Trancer stops going to trance parties (to th e joy of some), complains about the Good Old Days, and goes into other Ea stern fads such as yoga or bead counting. Shantier than thou. Will spew vitriol at every opportunity. See also Lurker, New Ager, Armchair Tran cehead and Old Timer and the American. The neo-Luddite Medievals ride h orses and live a low tech lifestyle. The battle axe wielding Euro variet y travels from festival to festival in caravans with horse trailers livin g a sort of neo gypsy traveller existence. The closest American relative to this genus isn’t generally in tune with trance but creates an intricat e hierarchy a la the Society for Creative Anachronism. The Psychedelic C hristian clings to their beliefs that were sandblasted into their conscio usness by age of the eight, and has spent the rest of their lives trying to integrate psychedelics into the concept of being born again. A true loner with toes in two worlds but hearts in none. May be an Alex Grey fo llower. The Shitlister is prone to hit people, steal, throw food, start arguments, stalk pretty girls (whether they are male or female), push the ir way onto the decks, try to hijack a party with out of control wailing behaviour and generally physically disturbing everyone within reach. High minded organizers often let them in to their events, saying things like, at their events, “Everyone is welcome” and “Our vibe is positive”… unt il the paint, fists, and chaos starts flying. Then the organizers blame the person who originally assigned the Shitlister archetype for starting them on their path. See also Freaker, ODer. The Troll is ticking time bo mb… very large and ungainly, the Troll will steal purses and such until caught, which is fairly easy given their Boethean proportions. When thi s happens they get all evasive but will continue to try to show up at eve nts. When called out they go ballistic and it takes 4 humans to ward the m off. Hates to be called by their real names. ADD TO d Nerd – “Mort al enemy of the Straightedge.” ADD TO Raver – If they hang around trancers long enough they start to shed their candy and glowsticks for fluoro and dreads.

Yet many psytrance labels tend to blame th eir financial woes on d/l-ing. Howcome? Is the general music market i tself growing so much? Or is the issue they’re having specific to the ED M small label business model… like, are they missing smthg, some new “l egal” technology or idea the big labels are jumping onto right now? I k now some labels, like Flow for example, offer their tracks for download t hru “clickatrack” or some such service straight on their web site.

I’d like to add this photo to the Missing Link archetype on /trancespotting (.co m/trancespotting ) (try saying that last sentence in the same tone a nd accent as a british game hunter) a rough sketch will do. if not, i may just use somthing from Lord of the Rings; however are we talking mor e Roast Mutton trollsor Hobbits-era Goblins or is this beast a bit more b looodthirsty and malevolent? -Missing Link alias Sasquatch alias Yeti – g enerally only spotted at outdoor festivals. Easily distinguished by wild knotted hair, prominent supra-orbital ridge usually covered by unibrow, c razed look in eyes, bare chest, extra dirty pants (may have possibly been fluoro at one time in distant past), and well calloused hobbit feet. Is usually prominent on the dance floor shaking fists, stomping madly, and g runting, but disappears back to cave soon after festival is over. Often f ound in close habitation with the Israeli. Not to be confused with Freake r. (Submitted by jessw at mindspring Time to add more archetypes to Trancespotting. What was new for 2004? I f anyone has anything to add – in terms of categories or merely more desc ription to an existing one – send them in, and if it’s funny and/or remot ely desciptive and not too incredibly idiosyncratic, it will appear! Ca n anyone get a photo of “the Animal” who frequents German parties, moves in to rightin front of the stage and vicously defends it with tooth and n ail? I’d ike to add this photo to the Yeti Also, I think it’s time to start assigned photos. Go though all the headshots you have, on web bra inmachines/nytrance (web tranceam.org/nytrance ) Safetydance photo sections, also hipchix (.c om/hipchix/backinbiz (web tranceam.org/hipchix/backinbiz ) ) and everywhere else you can imagine. try to keep it positive, the negative archetypes need kid gloves, we may just have a big box with a question mark through it. I know where we’ll put Jacob though! The Ay ahuasquero thinks the trance people are addicted to partying. Their own style of music, once you venture out of the native icaro genre, can be of ten jarringly inappropriate. recently heartened by the steadily grwoing acceptance of ayahuasca by established Brazillian church beachheads in the U.S. Always perplexed by whether they are worthy enough to carry the m antle of shaman. The Chemist makes a lot of money in the real world and would never EVER risk all that on illicit substances. The worst of the lot, they are incredible teases but a great source of in-jokes. Every hal f ass penny pinching acidhead fantasizes about becoming one but never ge ts beyond a Homer Simpson understanding of chemistry. They may try to la mely grow shrooms, but once that doesn’t work for some glaring omission i n the instructions, they give up, paying retail for the rest of their liv es. A subspecies of them actually go over the line and they are always i n prison facing long sentences. The Crazy Jew – Sometimes a Rabbi, but never without a yarmulke. Connected in some way with some crazy Chabad somewhere, Chabads being somewhat liberal in their outlook. Dances like a fiend, and not afraid of substances. The older of the species troll la te night afterhours parties during non-Sabbath nights and early mornings, forever seeking an escape from the bedsheet with the hole in it. Compar e with Psychedelic Christian. The Door Person is usually someone nobody knows so no one will try to talk their way in for free. Ideally, it’s a well keep secret girlfriend or boyfriend who can be trusted not to steal money. Trained to not really look into your pleading eyes, and they wil l talk AT you. See also Security Guard. The Family People have entire families on the side with spouse and children at various stages of growth .. and come to trance parties for escapes. Often very organized with n ice vehicles and aimmaculate organizational habits. Perfect for the trancommunity. Compare with Nuclear Unit. The Entrepreneur uses their t rance connections to make money in legal (or mostly legal) ways, such as selling jewelry, moving or recruitment for pharmaceutical studies at univ ersities. See also Bottom Fisher. The Ex-Organizer leave the scene af ter giving everything their all. For thoase of them who built their ente rprise on family money, they escape to back to law or enroll in somthin g like architecture school, or whatever, will excoriate others for not”ge tting it” See also Jaded Trancer and Yuppie. The Experimental DJ will play out of genre tracks just to keep things lively, often at very inappr opriate times, to the dismay of the dancers. This role cannot be played for long unless the Experimental DJ is in a position of power or influenc e, otherwise they are bounced out the door, never to return. The secret ally of the Live Set Critic. The Jaded Trancer stops going to trance pa rties (to the joy of some), complains about the Good Old Days, and goes i nto other Eastern fads such as yoga or bead counting. Shantier than thou . Will spew vitriol at every opportunity. See also Lurker, New Ager, Ar mchair Trancehead and Old Timer and the American. The neo-Luddite Medi evals ride horses and live a low tech lifestyle. The battle axe wielding Euro variety travels from festival to festival in caravans w ith horse tr ailers living a sort of neo gypsy traveller existence. The closest Americ an relative to this genus isn’t generally in tune with trance but creates an intricate hierarchy a la the Society for Creative Anachronism. The P sychedelic Christian clings to their beliefs that were sandblasted into t heir consciousness by age of the eight, and has spent the rest of their l ives trying to integrate psychedelics into the concept of being born again . A true loner with toes in two worlds but hearts in none. May be an A lex Grey follower. The Shitlister is prone to hit people, steal, throw f ood, start arguments, stalk pretty girls (whether they are male or female ), push their way onto the decks, try to hijack a party with out of contr ol wailing behaviour and generally physically disturbing everyone within reach. High minded organizers often let them in to their events, saying things like, at their events, “Everyone is welcome” and “Our vibe is posi tive”… until the paint, fists, and chaos starts flying. Then the organ izers blame the person who originally assigned the Shitlister archetype f or starting them on their path. See also Freaker, ODer. The Troll is tic king time bomb… very large and ungainly, the Troll will steal purses an d such until caught, which is fairly easy given their Boethean proportion s. When this happens they get all evasive but will continue to try to sh ow up at events. When called out they go ballistic and it takes 4 humans to ward them off. Hates to be called by their real names. ADD TO d Nerd – “Mortal enemy of the Straightedge.” ADD TO Raver – If they hang aro und trancers long enough they start to shed their candy and glowsticks fo r fluoro and dreads. And keep the piercing. George Carlin on Transhum anism The following is a transcript of comedian George Carlin’s rant that he performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on 11/15. It is impressiv e to read, and I wish I could post the video. Keep in mind, Carlin read t his at an almost breakneck pace. “I’m a modern man, a man for the millen nium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern d econstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the u pside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low -life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school a nd my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-h earted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyper active and from time to time I’m radioactive. Behind the eight ball, ahe ad of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet and pushin the envelop e. I’m on-point, on-task, on-message and off ds. I’ve got no need for coke and speed. I’ve got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, o n-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bo ttom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. O ut of rehab and in denial! I’ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopp er, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can’t shut me up. You can’t dumb me down because I’m tireless and I’m wireless, I’m an alpha m ale on beta-blockers. I’m a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Sup er-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and buil t-to-last! I’m a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case pretty maturel y post-traumatic and I’ve got a love-child that sends me hate mail. But, I’m feeling, I’m caring, I’m healing, I’m sharing a supportive, bondin g, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I wat ch trash sports! I’m gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly an d lactose intolerant. I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the “F” word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcoreno soft porn. I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega- store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I’m toll-free, bite-sized, ready -to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped, factory-authorized, h ospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically- formulated medical mir acle.

I’m a rude dude, but I’m t he real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked and ready-to-rock. Rough, tou gh and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go with the flow, I ride with the tide. I’ve got glide in my stride. Drivin and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I don’t snooze, so I don’t lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hearty a nd lunch time is crunch time. I’m hangin in, there ain’t no doubt and I’m hangin tough, over and out!” Trance Americana by Machin elf at brainmachines reporting from New York and Aaron Ocelot at Enabled.c om reporting from with help from countless others The hea lth of a trance scene can be gauged by several interdependent barometers. .. number of producers and visual artists, quality and quantity of events … and the availability of psychedelic ds. If one were to take the be st of America from its various pockets of trance and put it all in one ar ea, you’d have one slammin’ scene. But you can’t. It’s too spread out. It’s a Herculean or even Sisyphusean task to rein it all in, to condense the energy into one vital scene. Some have tried to do it in the U.S. a nd have burned out. Other diehards remain. These diehards say, “To he ll with the overseas snobs who sniff, “Why Bother?”‘ It’s STILL more sex y to have sex in the cracks of a fascist state. America invented skatebo ards, rock and roll, surfing, and hippy culture… Americans offer smalle r, intimate, and more underground gatherings. The scenes are as varied as the landscape, but trance has infiltrated even to Iowa in the prairie. Though never profitable, trance formers are collaborating like never be fore and keeping the faith. While other genres have fallen by the ways ide, psy/goa has persevered through l droughts, an Internet economy bus t, restrictions on immigration, and a generally apathetic population. On the entheogen front, religious use of d-laden ayahuasca is still march ing along fresh from a string of court victories, and the U.S. governmen t has begun the first testing of psychedelic ds in 40 years on post tr aumatic stress disorder and terminally ill patients. Plus, the medical us e of marijuana is starting to be recognized by the states, so the future o f psychedelics in the U.S. is assured. Although 9/11 slowed the influx o f international travellers, New York is still the largest and most dive rse community in the US – and 2004 was inarguably the best in years. Tsu nami, which pioneered psy/goa massives in North America in ’96 with the s eminal Return to the Source at the Liberty Science Center in New Jerse y, flies in Tsuyoshi every month and brings top acts to the old Twilo/Sou nd Factory space Spirit, the top floor of which is Alex Grey’s Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors (COSM). Liran shed Hommega’s name and still brings major acts to large clubs. The Russians bring both full on and progress ive with TDC in their amazing new and completely underground warehouse on the Brooklyn waterfront and OmniTribe’s OmniFest in upstate New York. All adin Project keeps the revolving door swinging with conoisseur events, pi cking up where Ecliptic Trance left off. Reality Engine has shifted out o f neutral, and long-running Goa Trash and a revived Psychegrounds are NYC ‘s free weeklies. After years of hibernation the community Devotional M inistry of Trance (d) brought the most fertile and vibrant open air sea son ever held in Manhattan, enacting Paleolithic rituals and bringing cre ws from all over the country to play at free gatherings for casts of hund reds under a bridge in the Dominican ghetto. Subtlechaos doses the Medi cal Marijuana Party with High Times in downtown Manhattan every May. Fina lly, Adam, Ian and Jowe and PSI have continued to do gatherings under the stars in the Pine Barrens. Daya (Indonesia), Severin (Ukraine), Equus a nd Nan Hutchinson are New York’s most prominent visual artists. Elsewh ere in the east coast, Touch Samadhi in Asheville, North Carolina has bee n the dominant force for psyculture in the Southeast since 1998. DJs Kri and Blue Spectral Monkey lead the team, and with visual artist the Devote e. Since 2000, working with other east coast psy-crews, they conjure Maa taa Mandaara at a Hare Krishna compound in West Virginia. After an epic Neptunalian summer festival in ’04, in ’05 they have Goa Gil and Autumn E quinox on private mountain land. Philadelphia has a small but steady scen e with Gaian Mind in the mountains at a place where locals are building a stonehenge the old, hard way. Boston’s sounds lean towards progressive and early nights, with Sonic Beating continuing its assault and Psyforia going into its third year. And Baltimore has Konvocation. On the West Coast, after a slowdown in Northern California in 2004 as various organiz ers retired, 2005 is looking up for psy/goa. The majority of American pro ducers call NoCal their home; even Penta’s dad lives in San Jose. SF’s weekly is Synchronize. Thump Radio does a monthly the 3rd friday of each month. Typically, the summer outdoor party season kicks off with a Goa Gil party in May, and ends with his birthday party in October, with all of t he other parties in between. Tantra continues to throw larger events on holidays and special occasions. Local producers include Nommos (Ariane a nd Goa Gil) oCeLoT, Kode IV, Chromatone, Ghreg on Earth, FractalCowboys ( Quasar and Dylalien), Mubali, Random, Amanda, Yohimbe and Deeper in Zen. Local artists include Garrett of Dreamtime, and Dr. Spook. San Francisc o is home to labels Dropout, Ceiba, Mistress of Evil, Vaporvent, and Soul ar Records. Ceiba Records on Haight Street is the only psy/goa record sh op in the U.S. In Los Angeles’ vital scene, Green Sector, Psy-tribe and Moontribe are the dominant forces, and Heavy Rotation is LA’s weekly. Ka gdila Records is based in LA., as is famed producer Quadra. Phantasm’s N ew Years party with Green Sector was the largest event of the year. In t he Pacific Northwest, producer Jirah is based in Seattle, and Apollo’s Lu te produces the Enosa festival in Oregon every summer. And of course t he biggest U.S. open air multigenre mindfuck megafestival of the year Bur ning Man continues to incinerate in Nevada. Its tentacles reach into al most every nook and cranny the US, although as it’s grown, psy/goa has los t its dominance. Texas has more people than any other state except Calif ornia, and the most land, but has a very low goa head ratio. Still it’s s howing signs of life with Mistical Productions bringing vital acts such a s Neuromotor. Burning Flipside, focuses on psy/goa with many various la rge-scale Burning Man style theme camps. The top Texas live acts are Init ialization String and Gift Culture. Most Texan events are indoors. The Midwest is starting to flower with groups with small multi-state festiva ls such as Aestival and the open community Chilluminati, a collaboration between Touch Samadhi, Audiognomes and Psymbolic Visual Communications, whi ch recently moved from Texas. Ohio’s Goahead brings the Butterfly Dance Ritual. In Iowa of all places Consciousness Collective delivers MAGE, Mid west Annual Goa Experience. Even Kansas City has Wilderness Technologi es. Filling in the gaps, Infected Mushroom debuted in Miami, DC. Seattle, and Chicago. In 2005 expect more activity as the infrastructure streng thens, the economy continues to improve, and communication, collaboration and cooperation between communities propels psychedelic trance to new heights.

But when Kate Chapman flicked a switch and the three-foot high latticework cylinder in front of me began to spin, it was clear that we were dealing with more than just another piece of midcentury flotsam. The machine started to cast strobe like patterns of bright light on our faces, and when I closed my eyes as instructed, there they were, the dazzling multicolored forms that I’d bee n told about: mandalas and crosses and even Mandelbrot fractals, dancing across my eyelids. I was sitting on the floor of Ms. Chapman’s Brooklyn loft, and she was demonstrating her prized household appliance, a 1996 D reamachine originally made for William S. Burroughs. Besides the trippy v isual effects the device is said to induce an “alpha state” – a state con ducive to lucid dreaming or intense daydreaming – in people who face the cylinder with their eyes closed as it spins around a bright light. Dream achine enthusiasts – whose ranks have swelled recently thanks to chat for ums and a book published last year – claim that it promotes a trancelike serenity, intensifies creativity and insight and even uncovers suppressed memories. Ms. Chapman’s Dreamachine is one of more than a thousand that h ave been manufactured since the early 90’s by a California composer and c onductor named David Woodard. One is on display this month at the Clair O bscur Gallery in Los Angeles along with an exhibit of photographs of Burr oughs taken by John Aes-Nihil, an underground filmmaker, and the premiere at the gallery of his film, “William Burroughs in the Dreamachine.” Bur roughs, along with other figures from the Beat Generation like Allen Gins berg and Timothy Leary, was fascinated, even at times obsessed by the Dre amachine, which was invented in 1959 by their fellow Beats Brion Gysin, a n artist, and Ian Sommerville, a math student at Cambridge. Mr. Leary cal led it “the most sophisticated neurophenomenological device ever designed “; Mr. Burroughs experimented with it for nearly four decades. (The film shows him using his Dreamachines at his home in Lawrence, Kan., shortly b efore his death in 1997). I had come to Ms. Chapman’s loft to see if the machine lived up to the hype, but I didn’t get very far in my first sess ion. The colorful undulating patterns that I began to see almost at once were intriguing: far more vivid than the fuzzy images you see when you r ub your eyes, although just as hard to focus on. But as far as I could te ll my state of consciousness barely changed during the 20 minutes that I sat cross-legged in front of the spinning cylinder. When I opened my eyes Ms. Chapman seemed to sense my disappointment. I had been somewhat skep tical, but was still hoping for more, given what I had learned about the machine and its history. Mr. Gysin and Mr. Sommerville built the first Dr eamachine after learning of research by John Smythies and W. Grey Walter, scientists who had noted in experiments that light flickering at 8 to 12 flashes a second against a subject’s closed eyelids seemed to slow the electrical pulse rate of the subject’s brain to a state of semiconsciousn ess known as the alpha state and produce rich dreamlike imagery. Althoug h his fellow Beats were excited about using the device, Mr. Gysin had bro ader ambitions for it and tried to distance himself from their enthusiasm says John Geiger, the author of “Chapel of Extreme Experience: a Short History of Stroboscopic Light and the Dream Machine” (Soft Skull Press, 20 04). “He was focused on its commercial potential,” Mr. Geiger said. “He imagined a Dreamachine in every suburban home, in the spot formerly occup ied by the television set, but broadcasting inner programming. He really saw this idea as his ticket out of bohemia town.” Mr. Gysin’s attempts t o commercialize the Dreamachine during the 60’s and 70’s never got very f ar. He met with corporations like Philips, Columbia Records and Random Ho use, but they did not share his vision of the Dreamachine as the successo r to TV. They were also worried about lawsuits resulting from seizures ca used by the machine. at Ameritrade.

Burroughs, right, examines a D reamachine with its maker, David Woodard, in 1997. Two years later Mr. W oodard made a version covered in ermine fur, top, for Burroughs’ memorial service. DE9cor by Timothy Leary Published: January 20, 2005 (Page 2 of 2) “For the high majority of people this is a completely safe devic e,” Mr. Geiger said. But Dr. Robert Fisher, the director of the Comprehen sive Epilepsy Center at Stanford, said that 1 in 10,000 people is likely to have a seizure in reaction to the its stroboscopic light, and that chi ldren are about twice as susceptible. David Woodard, who now makes Dream achines to order at his studio in Los Angeles, learned about the device f rom a friend of Mr. Gysin’s a few years after his death in 1986. Mr. Woo dard was able to borrow the original Dreamachine templates from the frien d, and built his first one in 1989; within a few years word of mouth and modest advertising led to a full-fledged business. He made two for Willia m Burroughs and has made others for celebrities including Iggy Pop, Beck and Kurt Cobain. ( Rumors circulated that Cobain had been using the deviheavily in the days leading up to his suicide, although later reports contradicted this.) Mr. Woodard charges $500 for a basic model with a cyli nder of acid-free matting board. (The cylinder surrounds a 150-watt bulb which is mounted in the center of a wood base holding a motor that spin s the cylinder at 80 r.p.m.) Custom models, with cylinders made from stee l, copper or cocobolo wood – or even covered in ermine fur – can cost as much as $3,000. After the mixed success of my first experiment with the Dreamachine, my hostess urged me to try again. Ms. Chapman, 30, is a form er neuroscience researcher for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psyc hedelic Studies, a nonprofit organization that sponsors “scientific resea rch designed to develop psychedelics and marijuana into F.D.A.-approved prescription medicines,” according to its Web site. “I’m just an artist now,” she said. Ms. Chapman thought it might be helpful if my body were more relaxed, so I lay down on a sofa, and she put on soothing music. She flicked the machine back on as I shut my eyes. A moment later there they were, the same flashing patt erns as before. After a while I became bored and my mind began to drift. That’s when it happened. I didn’t “see” as m uch as I strongly imagined a campfire in a clearing in a dense forest at night. My boyfriend Jim was sitting to my left, laughing. Later I seemed to find myself in a large empty auditorium, walking toward some chairs a rranged in the middle of the room. In one creepy moment I was in a baseme nt hallway, following closely behind someone walking ahead of me, whose f ace I couldn’t see. I was imagining these scenes so vividly that it was almost as if I were seeing them. The thoughts had a kind of slow-motion jump-cut feel, just like dreams, but because I was fully conscious, I was able to contemplate all of this as it was happening. With my eyes stil l shut and my mind now very relaxed and slightly adrift, I started to not ice that the wall of flashing patterns was receding backward and developi ng a dark border around its edges. It was at that moment that I sensed so meone to my left, sitting beside me, watching what I was watching. This figure was not in the room with me, but in my head, which had now turned into a little theater. I felt that if I turned my head, I would be able to look over at this person. I opened my eyes, and reality rushed back in, to my relief. That last vision hadn’t really been frightening, but it was n’t exactly heartwarming either. But I was impressed. As I talked to Ms. Chapman about my experience, I became aware of an unusual serenity and m ental clarity, as if I had just waked from a refreshing nap. Days after my experience with Ms. Chapman I found myself craving the Dreamachine an d the vivid imagery and sense of calm it had produced. I’m not sure I wou ld part with $500 to bring one into my life. But having lived through the experience, it was hard not to think about Mr. Gysin’s vision of an alt ernate-universe America in which every home would tune into internal lands capes instead of commercial programming.

DC3A9cor by Timothy Leary By M ARK ALLEN Published: January 20, 2005 AT first glance it looked like somthing in the window of a TriBeCa furniture store, an oversize lamp fr om the early 60’s maybe. But when Kate Chapman flicked a switch and the t hree-foot high latticework cylinder in front of me began to spin, it was clear that we were dealing with more than just another piece of midcentur y flotsam. The machine started to cast strobelike patterns of bright lig ht on our faces, and when I closed my eyes as instructed, there they were the dazzling multicolored forms that I’d been told about: mandalas and crosses and even Mandelbrot fractals, dancing across my eyelids. I was sitting on the floor of Ms. Chapman’s Brooklyn loft, and she was demonst rating her prized household appliance, a 1996 Dreamachine originally made for William S. Burroughs. Besides the trippy visual effects the device is said to induce an “alpha state” – a state conducive to lucid dreaming or intense daydreaming – in people who face the cylinder with their eyes clo sed as it spins around a bright light. Dreamachine enthusiasts – whose ranks have swelled recently thanks to chat forums and a book published la st year – claim that it promotes a trancelike serenity, intensifies creat ivity and insight and even uncovers suppressed memories. Ms. Chapman’s Dr eamachine is one of more than a thousand that have been manufactured sinc e the early 90’s by a California composer and conductor named David Wooda rd. One is on display this month at the Clair Obscur Gallery in Los Angel es along with an exhibit of photographs of Burroughs taken by John Aes-Ni hil, an underground filmmaker, and the premiere at the gallery of his fil m, “William Burroughs in the Dreamachine.” Burroughs, along with other fi gures from the Beat Generation like Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary, was fascinated, even at times obsessed by the Dreamachine, which was invented in 1959 by their fellow Beats Brion Gysin, an artist, and Ian Sommerville a math student at Cambridge. Mr. Leary called it “the most sophisticate d neurophenomenological device ever designed”; Mr. Burroughs experimented with it for nearly four decades. (The film shows him using his Dreamachi nes at his home in Lawrence, Kan., shortly before his death in 1997). I had come to Ms. Chapman’s loft to see if the machine lived up to the hyp e, but I didn’t get very far in my first session. The colorful undulating patterns that I began to see almost at once were intriguing: far more viv id than the fuzzy images you see when you rub your eyes, although just as hard to focus on. But as far as I could tell my state of consciousness b arely changed during the 20 minutes that I sat cross-legged in front of t he spinning cylinder. When I opened my eyes, Ms. Chapman seemed to sense my disappointment. I had been somewhat skeptical, but was still hoping fo r more, given what I had learned about the machine and its history. Mr. G ysin and Mr. Sommerville built the first Dreamachine after learning of re search by John Smythies and W. Grey Walter, scientists who had noted in e xperiments that light flickering at 8 to 12 flashes a second against a su bject’s closed eyelids seemed to slow the electrical pulse rate of the su bject’s brain to a state of semiconsciousness known as the alpha state an d produce rich dreamlike imagery. Although his fellow Beats were excited about using the device, Mr. Gysin had broader ambitions for it and tried to distance himself from their enthusiasm, says John Geiger, the author of “Chapel of Extreme Experience: a Short History of Stroboscopic Light a nd the Dream Machine” (Soft Skull Press, 2004). “He was focused on its commercial potential,” Mr. Geiger said. “He imagined a Dreamachine in eve ry suburban home, in the spot formerly occupied by the television set, bu t broadcasting inner programming. He really saw this idea as his ticket o ut of bohemia town.” Mr. Gysin’s attempts to commercialize the Dreamachin e during the 60’s and 70’s never got very far. He met with corporations l ike Philips, Columbia Records and Random House, but they did not share hi s vision of the Dreamachine as the successor to TV. They were also worrie d about lawsuits resulting from seizures caused by the machine. Sotheb y’s (top); John Aes-Nihil ALPHA-STATE MALES William F. Burroughs, right, e xamines a Dreamachine with its maker, David Woodard, in 1997. Two years l ater Mr. Woodard made a version covered in ermine fur, top, for Burroughs’ memorial service. “For the high majority of people this is a complete ly safe device,” Mr. Geiger said. But Dr. Robert Fisher, the director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Stanford, said that 1 in 10,000 peop le is likely to have a seizure in reaction to the its stroboscopic light, and that children are about twice as susceptible. David Woodard, who n ow makes Dreamachines to order at his studio in Los Angeles, learned abou t the device from a friend of Mr. Gysin’s a few years after his death in 1986. Mr. Woodard was able to borrow the original Dreamachine templates f rom the friend, and built his first one in 1989; within a few years word of mouth and modest advertising led to a full-fledged business. He made tw o for William Burroughs and has made others for celebrities including Iggy Pop, Beck and Kurt Cobain. ( Rumors circulated that Cobain had been usin g the device heavily in the days leading up to his suicide, although late r reports contradicted this.) Mr. Woodard charges $500 for a basic mode l with a cylinder of acid-free matting board. (The cylinder surrounds a 1 50-watt bulb, which is mounted in the center of a wood base holding a mot or that spins the cylinder at 80 r.p.m.) Custom models, with cylinders ma de from steel, copper or cocobolo wood – or even covered in ermine fur – can cost as much as $3,000. After the mixed success of my first experime nt with the Dreamachine, my hostess urged me to try again. Ms. Chapman, 3 0, is a former neuroscience researcher for the Multidisciplinary Associat ion for Psychedelic Studies, a nonprofit organization that sponsors “scie ntific research designed to develop psychedelics and marijuana into F.D.A .-approved prescription medicines,” according to its Web site. “I’m ju st an artist now,” she said. Ms. Chapman thought it might be helpful if m y body were more relaxed, so I lay down on a sofa, and she put on soothin g music. She flicked the machine back on as I shut my eyes. A moment late r there they were, the same flashing patterns as before. After a while I became bored and my mind began to drift. That’s when it happened. I didn’ t “see” as much as I strongly imagined a campfire in a clearing in a dens e forest at night. My boyfriend Jim was sitting to my left, laughing. Lat er I seemed to find myself in a large empty auditorium, walking toward so me chairs arranged in the middle of the room. In one creepy moment I was in a basement hallway, following closely behind someone walking ahead of me, whose face I couldn’t see. I was imagining these scenes so vividly t hat it was almost as if I were seeing them. The thoughts had a kind of sl ow-motion jump-cut feel, just like dreams, but because I was fully consci ous, I was able to contemplate all of this as it was happening. With m y eyes still shut and my mind now very relaxed and slightly adrift, I sta rted to notice that the wall of flashing patterns was receding backward and developing a dark border around its edges. It was at that moment that I sensed someone to my left, sitting beside me, watching what I was watchin g. This figure was not in the room with me, but in my head, which had now turned into a little theater. I felt that if I turned my head, I would b e able to look over at this person. I opened my eyes, and reality rushe d back in, to my relief. That last vision hadn’t really been frightening, but it wasn’t exactly heartwarming either. But I was impressed. As I tal ked to Ms. Chapman about my experience, I became aware of an unusual sere nity and mental clarity, as if I had just waked from a refreshing nap. Days after my experience with Ms. Chapman I found myself craving the Dre amachine and the vivid imagery and sense of calm it had produced. I’m not sure I would part with $500 to bring one into my life. But having lived th rough the experience, it was hard not to think about Mr. Gysin’s vision o f an alternate-universe America in which every home would tune into inter nal landscapes instead of commercial programming.

They are currently casting a tv show for V, entitled “Can’t Get A Date”. Don’t let the title fool you, our show isn’t a dating show. We don’t set people up with you. Nobody gets voted off. This is for that person who should have no problem, ’cause they really are a catch, but still has problems meeting people in this big city. It’s about interesting people hanging out and discussing life and love, and it’s unlike anything else on television. We are looking for honest, intelligent New Yorkers between the ages of 26-35, who have very interesting dating stories ranging from the fun and casual to the tragic and traumatic. Strong personalities and unusual points of view are a definite plus. Nobody is going to try to change you. Smart graphics and production value give our documentary style show a more indie-film feel than a “reality show” feel – a smart and innovative take on what it takes to be more date-able in New York City. Be sure to mention Me if you go in. For more information, please email cgadtv at yahoo.

Greetings All, Below is copy of the latest article I’ ve written, Its about seeing Humanity from the Divines perspective with re gards to sacred Fungi. The Journal it will be published in is called “TEONANACATL” and is put out by the Florida Mycology Research Center. Ste phen Peele is the Curator and is one of the few people that the GOV. ever granted a Schedule 1 license to so that he could study Psilocybin. I enco uraged you to order it. To look at a free sample of Teonanacatl click on the following link web Fungifmrc/teojournal (web Fungifmrc/teojournal ) Hope this article sheds some lig ht on the subject of God, Creation and the road home, as I know these are complicate times. Peace & Love, Matthew N. Wyman Walking in GodE280 99s Shoes Psilocybin & Jacobs “CLadder”D As I am sure, many of you have noticed there are some serious signs in the air lat ely. Speaking more clearly, the recent Tsunami caused by a massive under- ocean earthquake flooded as many as 10 countries. Some of theses countrie s had as much as 10 miles of land swept over by the sea waves! Nothing of that size, to my knowledge, has happened in recorded history. Now let us p lay a game called suppose… Suppose as I am sure some of you have, that the bad condition of the world right now is not a mere coincidence. S uppose that there is a Grand Master and a plan, a God if you will who desi res all of Humanity to know Him. However, He is faced with the obstacle o f a Humanity whose hearts and minds are full of the thousand fold paths of knowledge. Some say God is this direction, others say he is that way, some say He isnt a He at all, while other say He doesnt really exist. Now as God, you have foreseen this dilemma- and fortunately for us, you place a “C”Cladder”D”D directly fro m Earth into the Heavenly Realms where you dwell. Having made the problem of how to find you obsolete, so that “Cface to face”D conve rsations can now take place ironing out any misconceptions Humanity has ab out your nature, you feel assured. After all, humans need food, they are all attracted to beauty and if nothing else, they are very curious. Th e “Cladder”D you have placed on Earth is both attractive and edible; you made 184 different varieties of it so that every continent an d many islands have at least one type of “Cladder”D availabl e to them. In addition, you have designed the “Cladders”D to turn blue when handled so as to distinguish them from anything else and t o spark Humanities curiosity. Even a child could understand these concept s, so you relax. However, as you watch you see that Humanity does not as whole come to the beautiful feast youve set before them via your “Cladders.”D In fact, many of them outlawed the “Cl adder”D while others used it only to elevate themselves to the stat us of Magician. For a moment you lose hope, then as you are about to wipe away the whole race and start again you realize that if Humanity knew wha t a treasure you have in store for them they would gladly turn to you. Bu t how to tell them? You decide that sending messengers might do the tric k. To do this you select the trade group of the Shepards (most of the prophets came from this group), after all their duty is to see that the flock is safely brought to green pastures. With this in mind you place your “Cladders”D in dense thickets around the She pards so that at least some of them will inquire of the strange b lue staining fruit they find at their feet. Time passes and you find an e xcellent Shepard, his name is Abram. Abram is the son of an idol maker wh o sold the “Cladders”D as a means to animate his clay statue s. Because Abram is diligent with regard to your nature as God of the uni verse, you decide to make a whole race out of him. The Hebrew is born. As God, you are all wise and you know that just because they are biologic ally related to the man you renamed Abraham, that doesnt mean the y will step up to youre “Cladder”D or enter into yo ur domain. For Humanity as a whole has avoided it since the Fall, and th ough it had been the light of humankind, on that fateful day when the red fruit with white spots meshed its genetic material with humanitys Logic won out over Love. So what do you do? You know that a contract m ust be made between Abrahams decedents and you. This is the cove nant of the flesh, in which you have Abraham cut the shaft of his maleness remaking it into the likeness of your “Cladders.”D Becaus e the operation is painful and has no medical value you are sure that the meaning behind this ritual will not be lost. Now, surely no one will forg et the way to the Divine, for you commanded Abraham specifically that all of his descendents should circumcise- that it was to be a sign between the m and you for all ages. Not only that, but because you are all knowing, y ou can see how short sighted Humanity really is. They do not see that the y need you, and though they are very fond of eating, they believe in their hearts that this food is won by their own ingenuity. Realizing their sh ort sightedness, you discover that the only way to become important to the se creatures is to create a circumstance where they need you. So You sen d the one of Jacobs sons whom you love the most into slavery. Th is man is Joseph, and through him, you are able to set an example of how y ou can free anyone from any situation. The concept works so well that you take the better part of the Hebrew people and put them through the trial of slavery, for as it turned out the ritual of carving their maleness into your likeness did not keep them focused on you. Naturally, they hated sl avery, but over time, they become aware of the need for your higher power. As they unify from twelve tribes into a single people all crying out for help you seize your opportunity. You send one man, not a whole army, but just one man to free them. If an army had been sent they would see the a rmy but not you, the God behind their current and future salvation. There fore, you send Moses, whose name means drawn from the water. Knowing hu mans, you know that above all else they need water to survive. Thus, the “Cladder”D you created was also designed to satisfy this driv e for water, as you made it to be 92% water. For that matter, the E2 809Cladders”D were also designed to look you like the Palm tree, b ecause the palm signifies both food and the water of an oasis. Now, you could just have the man Moses bring in a massive Hurricane or Meteor showe r in by having him speak openly this prediction and then doing the work yo ur self to make it happen. But then the Humans would soon go back to livi ng life solely for themselves and you would be forgotten again. It takes a lot to impress Humans for all generations to come. Therefore, you send M oses with ten signs that only a God could perform to testify to them about you and youre “Cladder”D. Still you know that th ey will want to objectify you, to make you part of their collectable knowl edge so as to contain you and store you on a shelf somewhere. That is why when Moses asked for your Name to give to the Hebrews you gave him none. Saying instead, who ever asks you what God sent you, tell them: “CI am that I am sent you.”D If Moses at this time showed t he Hebrews the physical “Cladder”D of God, perhaps they too would ascend into heaven and come to know you. So by this manner you sav ed a People who youve called your own. These people you hope wil l fall further and further in love with you and thereby shed the light of understanding on you and your “Cladders”D for all generations to come. However, over time the Hebrews lose track of your holy name, the “Cladder”D which you sent down to them to help them in th eir times of need and bring everlasting beauty to their innermost breast. Again you shower down the rain of salvation that righteousness may spring up with it and again it is to the Shepards th at you send the “Cladders”D of heaven. From the class of S hepards is born one who from a youth learned about you. His skin was made ruddy by the consumption of your sacred name, and in you he stay ed awake through the long watches of the night to drive away the lion and the bear. One day while in your Divine name this young Shepard named Dav id came to the frontline of the armies of Israel where the Philistines sta nd mocking your people. Because David is in you and you are in him he is filled with your glory and wrath. You encourage him and he overtakes the giant Goliath with a symbol for your name “3 the Rock. Later you decide to make David your king because he is willing to act as a Shepard f or all of Israel, guiding them in word and deed toward “Cyour holy things”D (2 Chronicles 31:6-8). David had many trials to overcom e, but because he never ceased to call on your Divine Name that “Cl adder”D which brought him to you, you said of David that he was a m an after your own heart. David in turn so loved you that the Psalms you inspired in him to write are full of references to you & to his Lord Chris t the “Cladder”D between God and Man. From the loin of David sprang forth Solomon, of whom you had it said that he was the wisest of a ll men. For Solomon sought the light in your kingdom through that most a ncient of “Cdoors”D the holy “Cgate”D of heaven . He did this more fervently and frequently than anyone before him. Co nsequently, Solomons nervous system was grown out like a healthy b ed of mycelium in a Petri dish of auger. He could see the connections bet ween everything under the sun and he knew their beginnings and their endi ngs. Unfortunately, he love many women and in order to keep them happy he gave them everything they wanted including gods which they could fit neat ly into their hands and which they could place on shelves, alters, and hig h places where all of Israel saw them… Furious with Solomon for the de linquent act of placing short term pleasure over the long term welfare of your people Israel you take eleven of the tribes away from his descendents as a discipline to show your displeasure. Unfortunately, it does not solv e the fact that the Israelites are dissolving back into the world around t hem, and worse they are teaching others to profane your holy name by maki ng it into a tool simply for sexual gratification which they employ at the ir maypole gatherings. So you send more messengers to guide Israel back into your eternal sanctuary. But many of these are stone to death while t he others are silenced or drive away. It is clear to you that the tribe o f Hebrews has become rebellious and will not return to your kingdom. Ther efore, after exiling them several times with mixed results and seeing that their current Shepards have hidden the keys of your wisdom E2 8093 your ladders, you decide now is the time to send your Son to set th ings straight. Of whom your servants; the prophets foretold the arrival of. Born of a woman, Jesus was raised from a youth on the “Choney from the Rock”D that sweet water of life. As it is written E280 9Cas soon as the child can distinguish right from wrong he was fed curds and honey.”D As Jesus grew the radiance of life-force you poured i nto him increased, so that at times your spirit was an overflowing spring in him, while his human side was merely the glass containing you. Jesus, youre son, because his love for you exceeded Solomons a nd he ascended into heaven via your “Cladder”D more frequent ly than anyone before him, did what no prophet, Shepard or servant had bee n able to do before. He showed the world that following you matters not on ly in this life but in the next as well. For this is what is meant by the resurrection, that even death could not consume those who follow you, the Eternal One whose gift is eternal life- for their path continues upward b eyond the grave. Thousands of years pass, your “Cladder”D is more or less forgotten except in the remote mountains of Mexico and other distant locations. For it is humans separation from “Ccivilizatio n”D that has in the past so often force them to look outside of the mselves for answers. Then just as you have planned in your book Revelat ions, the woman gives birth to the Christ child, that Almighty Name and ph ysical form that is the “Cladder”D into heaven. Their in the desert just as your good servants prophesied she brought forth the Christ from herself, by your “Cladder”D of coarse (Revelations 12-) . With this Christ, she healed many and the woman whose name in Spanish m eans Mary became famous because of you and your medicine “Cladder.However, your enemy the Dragon has been watching, now that this has happened he knows his time is short and he has set off to “Cma ke war against her descendants”D (Rev.). The American Jihad is bor n, the war on ds rages and is continuing to spread as irrational fear d isguised as “Cresponsible citizenship.”D However, the stone that the builders rejected is becoming more widely known and this your en emy cannot stop. For the reputation of the “Cladder,”D the “Csaint child”D has been swept up into heaven in the hearts o f the people. Still today, as was written of old, those who climb its hei ghts find it marvelous in their eyes. You still have one more fig leaf to unfold. The “Ctwo lamp stands”D which stand to the right a nd to the left of the alter of God, that one and only “CladderE2 809D into heaven for those who blink and breath. These two lamp stands will be witnesses to Humanity about your role in our spiritual evolution t hroughout the ages, it is through this knowledge that you will re-establis h your “Cladders”D the Eucharist with your holy people and t he Rock spoken of by Danial will fill the earth.. Therefore, you pick up t he pace; you must simultaneously get Humanity to see that the physical wor ld is passing and cannot save them while illuminating the “Cladderswhich many have come to believe are themselves illusions. Instea d of seeing the imperishable realm you govern, they see a hallucination an d childish behavior. The tough thing about it is as with the Hebrews, it takes great suffrage on their part before they will seek you. It is in-li ght of this, you discover that nothing short of natural disaster can shake Humanity out of the rut of the ten thousand paths of knowledge. In fact, they are so entangled in their own creations that they hardly go out to a ppreciate the natural world where your “Cladders”D stand at all. Herein is your reasoning for sending the Witnesses, for they will s hed light on the nature of youre reality and do so in a compellin g way so that everyone who listens to their message and is willing to hea r it will be healed inwardly. These Witnesses are coming into the world n ow. -Matthew Wyman Minister of the Church for Enlightenment Rave On, an d Out: Going High Into That Good Night NYT January 16, 2005 By BENEDICT CA REY IF there’s a d for social phobia, maybe there could be one to help us relax in the company of death. Last month, the Food and d Administ ration gave the go-ahead to a Harvard University plan to study the recreat ional d “ecstasy” as a treatment for anxiety in terminal cancer patient s. Elsewhere, researchers in California are studying the effect of psilocy bin – the active ingredient in hallucinogenic Fungi – in similar patie nts. Both teams hope to learn whether the ds, which can induce effusive ness and heightened awareness, will help people express and manage their f ears in a therapeutic setting. Although these illegal ds are controver sial, their use is a natural outgrowth of the medicalization of all emotio nal difficulty, from childhood shyness to adult phobias and depression. Do ctors already prescribe antidepressants widely to dying patients, as well as anti-anxiety medications, like Valium, which can be emotionally numbin g. The possibility of using potent consciousness-altering agents raises a question: At what point do the theological, cultural and personal signifi cance of mortality become altered, or lost? Does going high into that good night risk mocking end-of-life customs – prompting rave flashbacks rather than life review, rude jokes rather than amends? “I see death not only a s an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of your own existence, but to o ffer your life as a gift to others,” said the Rev. Donald Moore, a profess or of theology at Fordham University. The end presents us with a time to p onder – and discuss, if possible – what life has meant and might continue to mean for others. Any d that interferes with that experience comes at a steep cost, he said. “If I never ponder these things,” Father Moore sa id, “if I never face up to these questions intellectually, if I’m so space d out it doesn’t make any difference, then I think the experience is prett y empty and meaningless. In death we can become more a part of others’ liv es, and if I have decided simply to escape, I may have missed that opportu nity.” From the sixth-century politician Boethius, who turned to philoso phy for consolation at the end, to Mozart, who plunged into his requiem Ma ss, history is filled with examples of those who faced the unknown unaided and apparently shared in some universal reckoning with their purpose. B ut there is no philosophical or psychological reason why existential quest ions should wait to the end of life. Death itself hardly respects concerns about meaning or timing. It strikes friends and loved ones often without warning. Moreover, it casts a deepening psychological shadow starting in m iddle age, which gives most people ample opportunity to contemplate the pu rpose and content of their lives simply by virtue of living to adulthood, psychologists say. If a d taken at the end can help them simply reflec t on the pleasure of having lived, that in itself might provide comfort an d meaning to those left behind, said Dr. Simon Blackburn, professor of phi losophy at the University of Cambridge. “If you look at what people envy as opposed to what they say they like, I think we envy people who go out o n a high,” he said. “An old don in my college, he had a stroke at the end of college dinner, and died on the spot, sitting in his suspenders, in can dlelight, holding a wine glass. It was the perfect end for him, just incre dible, and I think it struck people as very admirable.” The insistence on making amends, on finding or declaring meaning, stems as much from cultur al expectations of a good death as it does from the needs or the psycholog ical state of a dying person, psychiatrists say. Some people have an angui shed need to talk with loved ones, but cannot bring themselves to do so; o thers simply want to say goodbye and laugh their way out. And the effect o f even a strong d may not alter those desires much. Researchers tested l in terminal patients in the 1960’s, and heroin in the 1980, and neith er d made much difference in the emotional or family experience at the end of life, said Dr. David F. Musto, a professor of psychiatry and medica l history at Yale University School of Medicine. “The larger danger is th at we try to manage a death along the lines of what we consider the right way of doing it,” Dr. Musto said. “Some want to leave peacefully, and othe rs are anxious to find some meaning and get things taken care of,” and new d treatments may help both. Not to mention those who want simply to l augh, and trust their maker to understand their choice. “There was some o ne thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our ear th,” wrote the Catholic philosopher and commentator G. K. Chesterton, in h is classic “Orthodoxy,” “and I have sometimes fancied it was His mirth.” AD &nb s 1,309 laid ce Community Weekly Newsletter spread the psytranc e virus ath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but ha ving his eyes open” issueJacob’s Ladder, and Fungi NT and Out (New York nbs ene News / Rabbit Slim’s on Thursday the place closed Glow sticks legal again! /2001/08/2709.cfmweb chartattack/damn/2001/08/2709.cfm/DI V Trance humor dex web psyreviews/comedy/index &nbs Please see this trailer for a new movie entitled Entheogen wh ich is opening at a Sundance festival this week in Utah.

Mind-machine Control web wired/wired/archive/13.03/brain (web wired/wired/archive/13.03/brain ) From James Kent at Tripzine Friends, As many of you know, since I’ve wrapped Trip Magazine I have been working towards completing a book which compiles everything I have learned in my fifteen year exploration of the psychedelic experience. Some of this material appeared on tripzine last year in an article entitled “The Case Against d Elves,” but now this project has expanded into comprehensive text entitled “Psychedelic Information Theory: Shamanism in the Age of Reason.” Psychedelic Information Theory is an exhaustive work which analyzes and deconstructs the psychedelic state from a neurochemical, cognitive, and mystical perspective simultaneously. That may seem like a Herculean task, but years of research and hard work are finally paying off as this massive text now nears completion. The bulk of the chapters are still undergoing revision and editorial review, but a preview of the introduction and first six chapters are now available online: web tripzine/pit (web tripzine/pit) It is a big chunk to take in all at once, but if you take a quick look at the index you’ll see that this promises to be a monumental work. I hope to have the full text ready for publication before the end of the year, but for those of you who would like to see results sooner I am offering a full online preview of chapters as they become available for everyone who donates $5.00 or more to the Psychedelic Information Theory Publishing Fund. Donations of $50.00 or more will receive a numbered copy of the limited first edition of this landmark text signed by the author (me), and sure to be a collector’s item. The publication date for this limited first edition is still unknown, but this offer will be extended to the first 100 respondents only, so act now to reserve your copy today! web tripzine/pit.asp?iddonate (web tripzine/pit.asp?iddonate) Since this is a work in process on a very complex and controversial subject, there will no doubt be many questions, discussions, comments, and corrections to follow. In order to manage reader feedback I have set up a discussion board where readers can post comments or start follow-up discussions related to the text. I will also be posting announcements, addendums, and updates to the text here from time to time. web tripzine.net/pit/viewforum.php?f2 (web tripzine.net/pit/viewforum.php?f2) That is all for now. If you are interested in the text and wish to be notified when new chapters become available online, please make a small donation today.

What’s missing from News in the United States is the news.” In Need of Thompson’s Savage Take By Frank Rich The International Herald Tribune Saturday 05 March 2005 New York – Two weeks ago Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide. This week Dan Rather commits ritual suicide, leaving the anchor chair at CBS prematurely as penance for his toxic National Guard story. The two journalists shared little but an abiding distaste – make that hatred in Thompson’s case – for the Great Satan of 20th-century American politics, Richard Nixon. The best work of both was long behind them. Yet memories of that best work – not to mention the coincidental timing of their departures – only accentuate the vacuum in that cultural category we stubbornly insist on calling News. What’s missing from News in the United States is the news. On ABC, Peter Jennings devotes two hours of prime time to playing peek-a-boo with UFO fanatics, a whorish stunt crafted to deliver ratings, not information. On NBC, Brian Williams is busy as all get-out, as every promo reminds us, “Reporting America’s Story.” That story just happens to be the relentless branding of Brian Williams as America’s anchorman – a guy just too in love with Folks Like Us to waste his time looking closely at, say, anything happening in Washington. Hunter Thompson did not do investigative reporting, but he would have had a savage take on our news-free world – not least because it resembles his own during the Nixon era, before he had calcified into the self-parodistic pop culture cartoon immortalized by Garry Trudeau, Bill Murray, Johnny Depp and most of his eulogists. Read “Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail ’72” – the chronicle of his Rolling Stone election coverage – and you find that his diagnosis of journalistic dysfunction hasn’t aged a day: “The most consistent and ultimately damaging failure of political journalism in America has its roots in the clubby/cocktail personal relationships that inevitably develop between politicians and journalists.” He cites as a classic example the breathless but belated revelations of the mental history of George McGovern’s putative running mate, the Missouri Senator Thomas Eagleton – a story that had long been known by “half of the political journalists in St. Louis and at least a dozen in the Washington press corps.” This same clubby pack would be even tardier on Watergate, a distasteful assignment left to a pair of lowly police-beat hacks at The Washington Post. Thompson was out to break the mainstream media’s rules. His unruly mix of fact, opinion and masturbatory self-regard may have made him a blogger before there was an Internet, but he was a blogger who had the zeal to leave home and report firsthand and who could write great sentences that made you want to savor what he found out rather than just scroll quickly through screen after screen of minutiae and rant. When almost all “the Wizards, Gurus and Gentlemen Journalists in Washington” were predicting an unimpeded victory march for Edmund Muskie to the Democratic presidential nomination, it was Thompson who sniffed out the Muskie campaign’s “smell of death” and made it stick. The purported front-runner, he wrote, “talked like a farmer with terminal cancer trying to borrow money on next year’s crop.” But even Thompson might have been shocked by what’s going on now. “The death of Thompson represents the passing from the Age of Gonzo to the Age of Gannon,” wrote Russell Cobb in a column in The Daily Texan at the University of Texas. As he argues, today’s White House press corps is less likely to be invaded by maverick talents like a d-addled reporter from a renegade start-up magazine than by a paid propagandist like Jeff Gannon, a fake reporter for a fake news organization (Talon News) run by a bona fide Texas Republican operative. Though a few remain on the case – Eric Boehlert of Salon, mediamatters.org, Joe Strupp of Editor and Publisher – the Gannon story is fast receding. In some major news venues, including ABC and CBS, it never surfaced at all. Yet even as Gannon has quit his “job” as a reporter and his “news organization” has closed up shop, the plot thickens. His own Web site – which only recently shut down with the self-martyring message “The voice goes silent” – has now restarted as a blog with Gonzo pretensions. The title alone of his first entry, “Fear and Loathing in the Press Room,” would send Thompson spinning in his grave had he not asked that his remains be shot out of a cannon. As a blogger, Gannon’s new tactic is to encourage fellow rightist bloggers to portray him as the victim of a homophobic leftist witch hunt that destroyed his privacy. Given that it was Gannon himself who voluntarily exhibited his own private life by appearing on Web sites advertising his services as a $200-an-hour escort, that’s a hard case to make. But it is a clever way to deflect attention from an actual sexual witch hunt conducted by his own fake news organization in early 2004. It was none other than Talon News that advanced the fictional story that a young woman “taped an interview with one of the major television networks” substantiating a rumor on the Drudge Report that John Kerry had had an extramarital affair with an intern. (Kerry had to publicly deny the story.) This is the kind of dirty trick only G. Gordon Liddy of Watergate fame could dream up. Or maybe did. Gannon’s Texan boss, Bobby Eberle, posted effusive thanks (for “their assistance, guidance and friendship”) to both Liddy and Karl Rove on Talon News’s sister site, GOPUSA, in December. Gannon may well be a pawn of larger forces as the vainglorious Liddy once was. But to what end? A close reading of the transcripts of televised White House press conferences reveals that at uncannily crucial moments he was called on by the White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, to stanch tough questioning on such topics as Abu Ghraib and Rove’s possible involvement in the outing of the CIA agent Valerie Plame. We still don’t know how this Zelig, using a false name, was given a daily White House pass every day for two years. Last weekend, Jim Pinkerton, a former official in the Reagan and Bush I White Houses, said on “Fox News Watch,” no less, that such a feat “takes an incredible amount of intervention from somebody high up in the White House” and that “some investigation should proceed and they should find that out.” Given an all-Republican government, the only investigation possible will have to come from the press. Which takes us back to 1972, the year of Thompson’s fear and loathing on the campaign trail. That was no golden age for news either. As Thompson’s Rolling Stone colleague, Timothy Crouse, wrote in his own chronicle of that year, “The Boys on the Bus,” months of stories by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein failed to “sink in” and only 48 percent of those polled by Gallup had heard of Watergate by Election Day. Some news organizations had simply ignored The Post’s scoops “out of petty rivalry,” Crouse wrote. Others did so because they “feared the administration or favored Nixon in the presidential race.” Others didn’t initially recognize the story’s importance. (The New York Times played the Watergate break-in on page 30.) According to a superb new history of the Washington press corps, “Reporting from Washington,” by Donald Ritchie, even Rather, then CBS’s combative man in the Nixon White House, “left the Watergate story alone at first, sure that it would fade like ‘a puff of talcum powder.”‘ For similar if not identical reasons, journalistic investigations into the current administration rarely “sink in” either. Early stories in The Boston Globe and Washington Post on what Jeff Gannon himself (on his blog) now calls “Gannongate” faded like that puff of powder. But we’ve now entered a new twilight zone: In 1972, at least, the press may have been stacked with jokers but not with counterfeit newsmen. “Reporting America’s Story,” NBC’s slogan, is what Thompson actually did before the phrase was downsized into a vacuous marketing strategy. As for Rather, he gave a valedictory interview to Ken Auletta of The New Yorker in which he said, “The one thing I hope, and I believe, is that even my enemies think that I am authentic.” The bar is so low these days that authenticity may well constitute a major journalistic accomplishment in itself. your Outer Space ew York Circ.1,329 ee NYC Trance Community Weekly Newsletter inmachines/links MORE LINKS h eard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw t he vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open ” News eft American soldie rs on E!! usa/story/0,12271,1416073,00 web guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12 271,1416073,00 Koxbox/Eat Sta tic was exhilarating – never saw Exit in Greenpoint that packed – saw a lo t of old faces – and former naysayer Brian was there and I gave him a lot of grief.

If so I know I will Wake up to Our tomorrow./D IV / s in the United States is the news.” In Need of Thompson’s Savage Take By Frank Rich The International Herald Tribune Saturday 05 March 2005 New York – Two weeks ago Hunter S. Thompson com mitted suicide. This week Dan Rather commits ritual suicide, leaving the a nchor chair at CBS prematurely as penance for his toxic National Guard sto ry. The two journalists shared little but an abiding distaste – make that hatred in Thompson’s case – for the Great Satan of 20th-century American p olitics, Richard Nixon. The best work of both was long behind them. Yet me mories of that best work – not to mention the coincidental timing of their departures – only accentuate the vacuum in that cultural category we stub bornly insist on calling News. What’s missing from News in the United S tates is the news. On ABC, Peter Jennings devotes two hours of prime time to playing peek-a-boo with UFO fanatics, a whorish stunt crafted to delive r ratings, not information. On NBC, Brian Williams is busy as all get-out, as every promo reminds us, “Reporting America’s Story.” That story just h appens to be the relentless branding of Brian Williams as America’s anchor man – a guy just too in love with Folks Like Us to waste his time looking closely at, say, anything happening in Washington. Hunter Thompson did not do investigative reporting, but he would have had a savage take on our news-free world – not least because it resembles his own during the N ixon era, before he had calcified into the self-parodistic pop culture car toon immortalized by Garry Trudeau, Bill Murray, Johnny Depp and most of h is eulogists. Read “Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail ’72” – the chronicle of his Rolling Stone election coverage – and you find that his diagnosis of journalistic dysfunction hasn’t aged a day: “The most con sistent and ultimately damaging failure of political journalism in America has its roots in the clubby/cocktail personal relationships that inevitab ly develop between politicians and journalists.” He cites as a classic exa mple the breathless but belated revelations of the mental history of Georg e McGovern’s putative running mate, the Missouri Senator Thomas Eagleton – a story that had long been known by “half of the political journalists in St. Louis and at least a dozen in the Washington press corps.” This same clubby pack would be even tardier on Watergate, a distasteful assignment l eft to a pair of lowly police-beat hacks at The Washington Post. T hompson was out to break the mainstream media’s rules. His unruly mix of f act, opinion and masturbatory self-regard may have made him a blogger befor e there was an Internet, but he was a blogger who had the zeal to leave ho me and report firsthand and who could write great sentences that made you want to savor what he found out rather than just scroll quickly through sc reen after screen of minutiae and rant. When almost all “the Wizards, Guru s and Gentlemen Journalists in Washington” were predicting an unimpeded vi ctory march for Edmund Muskie to the Democratic presidential nomination, i t was Thompson who sniffed out the Muskie campaign’s “smell of death” and made it stick. The purported front-runner, he wrote, “talked like a farmer with terminal cancer trying to borrow money on next year’s crop.” But eve n Thompson might have been shocked by what’s going on now. “The de ath of Thompson represents the passing from the Age of Gonzo to the Age of Gannon,” wrote Russell Cobb in a column in The Daily Texan at the Univers ity of Texas. As he argues, today’s White House press corps is less likely to be invaded by maverick talents like a d-addled reporter from a rene gade start-up magazine than by a paid propagandist like Jeff Gannon, a fake reporter for a fake news organization (Talon News) run by a bona fide Tex as Republican operative. Though a few remain on the case – Eric Bo ehlert of Salon, mediamatters.org, Joe Strupp of Editor and Publisher – th e Gannon story is fast receding. In some major news venues, including ABC and CBS, it never surfaced at all. Yet even as Gannon has quit his “job” a s a reporter and his “news organization” has closed up shop, the plot thic kens. His own Web site – which only recently shut down with the self-marty ring message “The voice goes silent” – has now restarted as a blog with Go nzo pretensions. The title alone of his first entry, “Fear and Loathing in the Press Room,” would send Thompson spinning in his grave had he not ask ed that his remains be shot out of a cannon. As a blogger, Gannon’s new tactic is to encourage fellow rightist bloggers to portray him as the victim of a homophobic leftist witch hunt that destroyed his privacy. Giv en that it was Gannon himself who voluntarily exhibited his own private li fe by appearing on Web sites advertising his services as a $200-an-hour es cort, that’s a hard case to make. But it is a clever way to deflect attent ion from an actual sexual witch hunt conducted by his own fake news organi zation in early 2004. It was none other than Talon News that advanc ed the fictional story that a young woman “taped an interview with one of the major television networks” substantiating a rumor on the Drudge Report that John Kerry had had an extramarital affair with an intern. (Kerry had to publicly deny the story.) This is the kind of dirty trick only G. Gord on Liddy of Watergate fame could dream up. Or maybe did. Gannon’s Texan bo ss, Bobby Eberle, posted effusive thanks (for “their assistance, guidance and friendship”) to both Liddy and Karl Rove on Talon News’s sister site, GOPUSA, in December. Gannon may well be a pawn of larger forces as the vainglorious Liddy once was. But to what end? A close reading of the t ranscripts of televised White House press conferences reveals that at unca nnily crucial moments he was called on by the White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, to stanch tough questioning on such topics as Abu Ghraib and Rove’s possible involvement in the outing of the CIA agent Valerie Pl ame. We still don’t know how this Zelig, using a false name, was gi ven a daily White House pass every day for two years. Last weekend, Jim Pi nkerton, a former official in the Reagan and Bush I White Houses, said on “Fox News Watch,” no less, that such a feat “takes an incredible amount of intervention from somebody high up in the White House” and that “some inv estigation should proceed and they should find that out.” Given an all-Republican government, the only investigation possible will have to c ome from the press. Which takes us back to 1972, the year of Thompson’s fea r and loathing on the campaign trail. That was no golden age for news eith er. As Thompson’s Rolling Stone colleague, Timothy Crouse, wrote in his ow n chronicle of that year, “The Boys on the Bus,” months of stories by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein failed to “sink in” and only 48 percent of tho se polled by Gallup had heard of Watergate by Election Day. Some n ews organizations had simply ignored The Post’s scoops “out of petty rival ry,” Crouse wrote. Others did so because they “feared the administration or favored Nixon in the presidential race.” Others didn’t initially recogniz e the story’s importance. (The New York Times played the Watergate break-i n on page 30.) According to a superb new history of the Washington press c orps, “Reporting from Washington,” by Donald Ritchie, even Rather, then CB S’s combative man in the Nixon White House, “left the Watergate story alon e at first, sure that it would fade like ‘a puff of talcum powder.”‘ For similar if not identical reasons, journalistic investigations into t he current administration rarely “sink in” either. Early stories in The Bo ston Globe and Washington Post on what Jeff Gannon himself (on his blog) n ow calls “Gannongate” faded like that puff of powder. But we’ve now entere d a new twilight zone: In 1972, at least, the press may have been stacked with jokers but not with counterfeit newsmen. “Reporting America’s Story,” NBC’s slogan, is what Thompson actually did before the phrase was downsized into a vacuous marketing strategy. As for Rather, he gave a val edictory interview to Ken Auletta of The New Yorker in which he said, “The one thing I hope, and I believe, is that even my enemies think that I am authentic.” The bar is so low these days that authenticity may well constitute a major journalistic accomplishment in itself. /

Having been a musician all his life and then doing intense Yogic pra ctices with Gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite the two forces, Musi c and Yoga, into one spirit befitting this Age. The result is his focus to use the trance party environment as a medium to uplift the consciousn ess of the participants through the Sacred Trance Dance Experience. He m et Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been together constantly ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West African Trad itional Dance has also had a big influence on the development and directi on of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts. Gil & Ariane’s current musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychedelic Trance wit h West African Traditional Drumming in the True Spirit of the Ancients.We will begin with an opening drum invocation at sunset, followed by Ariane ‘s ethno-tribal rhythms. Then Gil will guide us on an 18 hour trip thro ugh futuristic sounds for primal movements, “Redefining Ancient Tribal Ri tual for the 21st Century.” “Since the beginning of time humankind has us ed Music and Dance to commune with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe.

Having been a musician all his life and then doing intense Yogic practic es with Gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite the two forces, Music an d Yoga, into one spirit befitting this Age. The result is his fo cus to use the trance party environment as a medium to uplift the consciou sness of the participants through the Sacred Trance Dance Experience. He met Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been together constantly ever si nce. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West Afri can Traditional Dance has also had a big influence on the development and direction of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts.

#3547 Thu, 17 Mar 2005 05:14:31 Thu, 17 Mar 2005 05:14:30 Cc: nyc604, omnitribe Good news re: Wednesdays, starting next week Stefan found a very great location for Wednesday night parties called Carthage. It’s close to Karma, Ave B vetween 3rd and 4th, across the street from the infamous late night Le Souk (which is where Cathage’s manager was hred from). The decor and vibe is basically high end Moroccan hookah emporium. There are so many very nice details, the place is brand new and opulent. And you can smoke in there. The 10-4 hours are the same, the sound is roughly equivalent, the cdjs and mixer are better. The front is chillout, the back is the dance area… We’ll have four times as many drink tickets for the djs and artists. There will be plenty of extra foot traffic because it’s right across the street from Le Souk. This is a whiff of deja vu of Morocco 2001 and Opium Den, but taken to the next level. This will be a nice lead in to the Rhythms of Peace moroccan festival later this summer. Grand opening with many many artists and DJs from omnitribe, dreamcatcher and Bryan Ladd from Western Mass is next week! Please come out and start the weekly off with a bang. Oh yeah, we are calling this event Inshallah… the idea is to explore the Sufi ideal as an Islamic entree into psy-trance and a metaphor for bringing the tribes together rather than continuing to wallow in Indian trash… for those of you not up on your Arabic: Inshallah Translates roughly as… ‘If Allah wills it’. A marvellously useful term of complete fatalism and one which has no direct English equivalent. The nearest thing would be ‘…but on the other hand I might get hit by a number 73 bus tomorrow’ – uttered in tones of sodden dejection by a clinical depressive with a strong Solihull accent. Also, in the current climate, a term almost guaranteed to increase web traffic if only from US government sniffers. On Carthage Carthage before Hannibal Carthage, one of the most famous cities of antiquity, was founded on the north coast of Africa by the Phoenicians of Tyre (sur) in 814 B.C. The foundation of Carthage was closely followed by the establishment of other Phoenician cities in the west Mediterranean over which Carthage gradually gained control. From then on, Carthaginian power expanded into Spain, Sicily and numerous other places in the northern Mediterranean. This brought them into direct conflict with the empires in Rome and Greece. At the start of the 3rd century B.C.. Carthage was supreme in the western Mediterranean, enjoying the security of sea power and trading with her stations in Sicily, Sardinia, and Spain as well as with the shores of Africa. Rome was painfully struggling to obtain the mastery of central and southern Italy, where she had absorbed the power and culture of the Etruscans and gradually forged a federation of small states. It must have already become clear that there was not going to be room in the Mediterranean for both Rome and Carthage. The clash came over Sicily in the First Punic War (264-241 B.C), at the end of which Carthage lost Sicily, sea-power, and security. The Roman victory in Sicily induced Rome to cross the narrow straits to Africa and attack Carthage directly. Fortunately for Carthage, a strong and honest man appeared in the person of Hamilcar Barca, a commander who had evacuated his forces undefeated from Sicily in the best tradition of Dunkirk. Hamilcar was able to put down a mutiny in the Carthagian army and restore order to it. The political situation at that time had a strangely modern flavour. Rome pursued a policy of cold war during which it annexed Sardinia and Corsica, increased the reparations which Carthage was obliged to pay, and declared the Roman sphere of interest in Spain to extend from the North down to the river Ebro. In Carthage, a peace treaty was in power, commercially minded, ready to play the quisling. Hamilcar Barca, on the other hand, had popular support and the command of the armed forces. With these he proceeded to develop the Carthaginian hold on Spain, ostensibly to enable Carthage to pay repatriation to Rome, but in fact, because he saw in Spain a source of manpower and supplies and a base from which to attack Rome. With his son-in-law Hasdrubal and his four sons Hannibal, Hasdrubal, Hanno, and Mago, the ‘lion’s brood’ as he called them. Hamilcar barca soon succeeded in turning southern Spain into a sort of empire where new Carthage or Carthagena was founded. In 228 B.C. he fell in battle and was succeeded by hasdrubal his son-in- law, who was murdered seven years later. The Rise of Hannibal The army thereupon unanimously chose Hannibal to be their general in spite of his youth, “because of the shrewdness and courage which he had shown in their service.” Hannibal was then 26 years old. This strange man, whose name means “Joy of Baal”, had accompanied his father on his campaign in Spain at the age of nine. Hamilcar Barca had agreed to take him on his campaign on one condition, that before the sacrifice which he was then making to the gods, Hannibal should swear eternal enmity to Rome. No man ever kept a promise more faithfully. Hannibal’s first military success was in Saguntum, which precipitated the Second Punic War. It is quite clear that Hannibal carried out a carefully prepared plan which he had inherited from his father. His object was nothing less than the destruction of the power of Rome before Rome destroyed Carthage, and Rome’s most vulnerable spot was in Italy itself where the Roman federation of states was still loose and the Celtic tribes of Gauls in the North were in revolt. But since Carthage had lost command of the sea to Rome, how was Hannibal to get to Italy with his troops? The Romans never imagined for one moment that he could or would make the journey of 1500 miles overland from Spain, across the Pyrenees, the south of France, and the Alps; but that was exactly what Hannibal had decided to do. Having decided on his strategy and selected his theatre of operations Hannibal followed two principles which have grown no less important since his day: the seizure of the initiative, and the maintenance of the element of surprise. Hannibal first secured his bases at Carthage and Carthagena. Next he collected detailed information about the countries and peoples through which he proposed to pass. For this purpose he sent for messengers from the Gaulish tribes and asked for detailed accounts of the terrain and the fertility of the country at the foot of the Alps, in the midst of the Alps, and in the plain of the river Po. He also wanted to know the number of the inhabitants of the various populations, their capacity for war, and particularly whether their enmity against the Romans was maintained. He was particularly anxious to win over the Gauls on both sides of the Alps as he would only be able to operate in Italy against the Romans if the Gauls cooperated with him. He therefore planned a campaign of psychological warfare, to raise and maintain the morale of his supporters and to undermine the enemy’s will and power to resist. The operations began in great secrecy in the spring of 218 B.C. after Hannibal delivered a morale boosting speech to his troops. Moved by the emotions of indignation and lust for conquest, his men then leapt to their feet and shouted their readiness to follow Hannibal. From Carthagena Hannibal marched his army to the Ebro and then to Ampurias, through the Pyrenees and along the shore of the Mediterranean through the South of France, fighting much of the way. Crossing of the Alps Hannibal left Spain for Italy in the spring of 218 B.C. with about 35,000 seasoned troops. His force included a squadron of Elephants. The Romans planned to intercept him near Massilia (Marseille) and, after dealing with him, to invade Spain. Publius Cornelius Scipio was in charge of this operation, while Tiberius Sempronius led another army in Sicily, destined for Africa. However, Scipio had to sent his legions to deal with a Gallic revolt, and by the time he reached Massilia by sea, he learned that he had missed Hannibal by only a few days. Thereupon, Scipio returned to northern Italy and awaited Hannibal’s arrival. In the meantime, Scipio had sent his brother Gnaue to Spain with an army to cut Hannibal off from his brother Hasdrubal. It appears that Hannibal crossed the Alps somewhere between the Little St Bernard and Montgenevre passes. He did not begin to cross until early fall, which meant that he encountered winterlike conditions in the Alpine region. His force suffered greatly from the elements and the hostility of local tribesmen. He lost most of his elephants, and by the time he reached northern Italy, his army was reduced to about 26,000 men, 6,000 of whom were Cavalry. However, the number was quickly raised to about 40,000 by the addition of Gauls. Invasion of Italy In the first engagement with Roman troops, Hannibal’s cavalry won a minor victory over Scipio’s forces near the Ticinus River. This was followed by a decisive victory at the Trebia River in December 218 B.C. over Roman legions led by Scipio and Sempronius, who was recalled from Sicily when Hannibal invaded Italy. Hannibal’s superior numbers in cavalry and his skill in the combined use of cavalry and infantry were key factors in his success at the Trebia, as in later victories. Hannibal had an advantage in northern Italy, where the Gauls were friendly to his cause and where his cavalry could operate in the broad plains. The Romans therefore decided to withdraw to central Italy and await Hannibal who began to cross the Apennines in the spring of 217. The mountains again proved costly both to his army and personally to Hannibal, who lost the sight of one eye from an infection. The Roman consuls for 217, Gaius Flaminius and Servilius Geminus, had stationed themselves at Arretium and Ariminum to guard both possible routs, west and east, by which Hannibal might cross the Apennines. Hannibal selected Flaminius’ western routs, but the consul refused to give battle alone. Allowing Hannibal to pass, Flaminius followed, harassing the Carthaginian army and hoping to meet Geminus farther south, where they would jointly give battle. However, Hannibal ambushed Flaminius in a narrow pass near Lake Trasimene and destroyed almost his entire army of 25.000. At Rome, Quintius Fabius Maximus was elected dictator by the centuriate assembly. Rather than join battle with Hannibal, who had marched south into Apulia, he decided on a policy of caution and harassment that would keep Hannibal moving and gradually wear him down. Hannibal moved from Apulia into Campania, followed and watched by Fabius, who finally bottled him up in an area unfavourable to cavalry and decided to give battle. At night, however, Hannibal sent oxen toward Fabius’ army with burning sticks tied to their horns; while the Romans investigated what they considered an attack, he escaped with his army to Adulia, where he wintered. The Battle of Cannae When Fabuis’ tenure as dictator expired, the consuls for 216, Lueius Paullus and Gaius Varro, took charge of the war against Hannibal. On learning that Hannibal had captured the Roman depot at Cannae, in Apulia, the consuls decided to go into battle, and Hannibal now faced two formidable armies. However, at Cannae he again selected ground favourable to his tactics and strong cavalry. While the Romans relied on their superior numbers and their fighting skill. Hannibal’s plan called for his cavalry, positioned on the flanks of a crescent-shaped line, to defeat the Roman horsemen quickly and to attack from the rear at the crucial moment as the Roman infantry pressed upon a weakened centre of Spaniards and Gauls. His superior African troops were to press from the flanks and complete the encirclement. The plan succccded and the Romans suf-fered 25.000 dead and l0,000 captured. Hannibal’s Political Strategy Hannibal’s main objective was not the total destruction of Rome but a settlement that would free Cartllage from Roman intervention. Hannibal had hoped that his victories would bring about the wholesale defection of Italian cities from the Roman confederacy. However, the only major defection from Rome was Capua. When it was obvious to Hannibal that he could not effectively surround Rome with a ring of hostile ltalian states, he broadened the conflict to draw off Roman’s manpower and to spread its resources thin. In 215 he made an alliance with Philip V of Macedon; doubtless he did not want Philip to invade Italy but merely to drain Roman strength by waging war in Greece. The alliance came to naught because Hannibal could not supply Philip with a navy and because Rome checked Philip with its own navy and Aetolian allies (first Macedonian War, 214-205). Hannibal also brought Syracuse into the war against Rome. Hiero, ruler of Syracuse and long an ally of Rome, died in 215. His grandson Hieronymous took control of the city and made an alliance with Hannibal. Hieronymous was soon killed in a revolt, but Punic agents gained control of Syracuse. However, Roman control of Sicily was generally restored by 211, when Syracuse fell. First reverses following the defeat at Cannae, the Romans resorted back to Fabius’ tactics of harassing Hannibal while avoiding formal engagements. This seemed to have rendered Hannibal’s tactical skill and superior cavalry ineffective. Consequently, the Romans were able to retake Capua although their resources were heavily stretched by Hannibal ‘s international diplomacy. However, the real blow to Hannibal came from without. In 209, the Romans took Carthagena and forced Hasdrubal out of Spain. This cut his main supply route off. When Romans discovered that Hasdrubal had crossed the Alps to link up with Hannibal they left a small force to watch Hannibal and marched quickly with their main force to the Metaurus River, where they defeated Hasdrubal. Hannibal learned of the defeat when Hasdrubal’s head was thrown into his camp. Hannibal knew that he was without hope of reinforcement. For the rest of the Italian campaign he was generally restricted to Bruttium. Hannibal had no supporting navy and appeared indifferent to that Roman naval supremacy which in the first place was able to cut off reinforcements and in the second to bring about unimpeded the invasion of Carthage. Although his tactics in the field, as attested even by Scipio, were brilliants, and he himself by his personal appearances and quick marches up and down Italy dazzled the Romans and complicated their strategy, he was at a decided disadvantage as regards reinforcements and provisions. In 204, the Italian general Scipio landed in Carthage and was so successful that the following year Carthage sued for peace, terms were agreed upon, and Hannibal was recalled. The sight of Hannibal reinforced the Carthaginian will to resist, however, and hostilities were renewed. The two armies met at Zama in 202, in a battle that decided the outcome of the war. This time Hannibal met his match; he was outnumbered by a superior cavalry and was let down by the commercially-minded rulers of Carthage. Hannibal, his army destroyed, escaped. Peace was made the next year. Rome severely restricted the Carthaginian navy and demanded a heavy indemnity. Carthage was forbidden to make war outside its African domain, and could fight within Africa only with Roman permission. Since failure to accept the peace terms would have meant the destruction of Carthage, Hannibal worked for their acceptance and retired to private life in 200. In 196 Hannibal attacked the position, power, and corruption of the aristocrats so vigorously that they told the Romans he was scheming with Antiochus III of Syria and planning another war with Rome. A Roman investigation commission was sent to Carthage on a pretext, but Hannibal knew it was aimed at him, and he eventually made his way to Antiochus. The charge that Hannibal had plotted with Antiochus is unsupported, but after he became a member of the Syrian court he certainly advised the King to attack the Romans. After Antiochus defeat, Hannibal fled in 183 B.C., the Romans demanded his surrender. Unable this time to escape arrest, Hannibal took his own life rather than suffer further humiliation.

Consequently, the Romans were ab le to retake Capua although their resources were heavily stretched by Hann ibal ‘s international diplomacy. However, the real blow to Hannibal came f rom without. In 209, the Romans took Carthagena and forced Hasdrubal out o f Spain. This cut his main supply route off. When Romans discovered that H asdrubal had crossed the Alps to link up with Hannibal they left a small f orce to watch Hannibal and marched quickly with their main force to the Me taurus River, where they defeated Hasdrubal. Hannibal learned of the defea t when Hasdrubal’s head was thrown into his camp. Hannibal knew that he wa s without hope of reinforcement. For the rest of the Italian campaign he w as generally restricted to Bruttium. Hannibal had no supporting navy and a ppeared indifferent to that Roman naval supremacy which in the first place was able to cut off reinforcements and in the second to bring about unimp eded the invasion of Carthage. Although his tactics in the field, as attes ted even by Scipio, were brilliants, and he himself by his personal appear ances and quick marches up and down Italy dazzled the Romans and complicat ed their strategy, he was at a decided disadvantage as regards reinforceme nts and provisions. In 204, the Italian general Scipio landed in Carthage and was so successful that the following year Carthage sued for peace, ter ms were agreed upon, and Hannibal was recalled. The sight of Hannibal rein forced the Carthaginian will to resist, however, and hostilities were rene wed. The two armies met at Zama in 202, in a battle that decided the outcom e of the war. This time Hannibal met his match; he was outnumbered by a su perior cavalry and was let down by the commercially-minded rulers of Carth age. Hannibal, his army destroyed, escaped. Peace was made the next year. Rome severely restricted the Carthaginian navy and demanded a heavy indemn ity. Carthage was forbidden to make war outside its African domain, and co uld fight within Africa only with Roman permission. Since failure to accep t the peace terms would have meant the destruction of Carthage, Hannibal w orked for their acceptance and retired to private life in 200. In 196 Hann ibal attacked the position, power, and corruption of the aristocrats so vi gorously that they told the Romans he was scheming with Antiochus III of S yria and planning another war with Rome. A Roman investigation commission was sent to Carthage on a pretext, but Hannibal knew it was aimed at him, and he eventually made his way to Antiochus. The charge that Hannibal had plotted with Antiochus is unsupported, but after he became a member of the Syrian court he certainly advised the King to attack the Romans. After An tiochus defeat, Hannibal fled in 183 B.C., the Romans demanded his surrend er. Unable this time to escape arrest, Hannibal took his own life rather t han suffer further humiliation.

I do not recommend. Still, if you want a big budget cattle pen and have money to burn, check it out but I have no more details. I am only posting this because Astrix is a famous psy-trance DJ. Hopefully, emails will become more common as psy-trance enters the nightclub mainstream. OTOH hand if they comp me and give me drink tickets I would doubtlessly sing its praises :-/ On a side note, the truly “underground” parties (whatever “underground means – DIY? financially impossible and hopelessly point and cliqued out?) suffer financially; I think it’s a dilemma endemic to the U.S. where somthing is valued only if it is not free. That really sucks because there is a sizable group of individuals who have suffered financial hardship not because the djs are not good or don’t mix well or the sound is crap. This happened to Synthetic Sadhus all the way down to people who donated blood sweat and tears to get free food at a bridge party. I think most on this list anyway would agree with me when I say vibe is more important than how much money you spend, how many watts the system is, or how famous the performers are. I apologize for the elitist attitude, I heard many horror stories of women getting groped, inane security, and a general ugly dog eat dog attitude at every trance party I’ve been to at Avalon. Ify ou go, fine, just don’t harasss any of the free gathering people for a party on demand on an idle weekend this summer if you avoid the donation hat at events.

Having been a musician all his life and then doing intense Yogic practices with Gurus in the Hi malayas, he tried to unite the two forces, Music and Yoga, into one spiri t befitting this Age. The result is his focus to use the trance party e nvironment as a medium to uplift the consciousness of the participants thr ough the Sacred Trance Dance Experience. He met Ariane in Goa in 1985. T hey have been together constantly ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West African Traditional Dance has also had a big influence on the development and direction of Gil’s musical tastes a nd concepts. Gil & Ariane’s current musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychedelic Trance with West African Traditional Drumming in the True Spirit of the Ancients.We will begin with an opening drum invocation at sunset, followed by Ariane’s ethno-tribal rhythms. T hen Gil will guide us on an 18 hour trip through futuristic sounds for p rimal movements, “Redefining Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century.” “Since the beginning of time humankind has used Music and Dance to commun e with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe. When I come to the Party and set up my altar, sprinkle the Holy Water, recite the Hol y Mantra, and make the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit, and then start the Music… the Music and the whole Party becomes the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit.” Come early on Saturday to set up camp, explore the land, have a swim, share a potluck meal (bring a dish/utensils and prepare for the am azing journey that awaits us all!

Having been a musician all his life and then doing intense Yogic practices with Gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite th e two forces, Music and Yoga, into one spirit befitting this Age. The result is his focus to use the trance party environment as a medium to uplift the consciousness of the participants through the Sacred Trance Dance Experience. He met Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been toget her constantly ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West African Traditional Dance has also had a big influenon the development and direction of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts.& nbsGil & Ariane’s current musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychedelic Trance with West African Traditional Drummi ng in the True Spirit of the Ancients.We will begin with an opening drum i nvocation at sunset, followed by Ariane’s ethno-tribal rhythms. Then Gil will guide us on an 18 hour trip through futuristic sounds for p rimal movements, “Redefining Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century.” “Since the beginning of time humankind has used Music and Dance to comm une with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe. When I come to the Party and set up my altar, sprinkle the Holy Water, recite th e Holy Mantra, and make the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit, and then start the Music… the Music and the whole Party becomes the Offering to the Cos mic Spirit.” Come early on Saturday to set up camp, explore the land, have a swim, share a potluck meal (bring a dish/utensils and prepare for t he amazing journey that awaits us all!

The result is his focus to use the trance party environment as a medium to uplift the consc iousness of the participants through the Sacred Trance Dance Experience.&n bsHe met Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been together constantly ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West A frican Traditional Dance has also had a big influence on the developme nt and direction of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts. Gil & Ari ane’s current musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychedelic Trance with West African Traditional Drumming in the True Spir it of the Ancients.We will begin with an opening drum invocation at sunset followed by Ariane’s ethno-tribal rhythms. Then Gil will guide us on an 18 hour trip through futuristic sounds for primal movements, ” Redefining Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century.” “Since the begi nning of time humankind has used Music and Dance to commune with the Spiri t of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe. When I come to the Party and set up my altar, sprinkle the Holy Water, recite the Holy Mantra, and make the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit, and then start the Music… the Mu sic and the whole Party becomes the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit.” Come e arly on Saturday to set up camp, explore the land, have a swim, share a potluck meal (bring a dish/utensils and prepare for the amazing journey that awaits us all!

We surfed the waves of Chaos as the dancefloor on the dock rode the crests of the Hudson. I really hope people start doing afterparties after major events like this one. Free Open Air Psy-Trance in New York for 2005… If anyone misses the free open air bridge parties with DJs from all over the country with the frequency and incredible production values of last year, get involved and join the d. As of this writing we still need money to get the sound system restored to its full 7000 watt glory, and make it so that a few members (Dan de Maria… Joanne) don’t lose their shirts so that everyone else can play. Email joining. Gathering dates, location, and vital info is sent only to members. The suggested donation is $25. The more who join, the more you’ll see of us. And this time we are not going to do an event and then hope to recover funds from passing around a hat. That usually doesn’t work because people tend to do things like grab the hat and say “thanks” and put it on or somthing like that. This weekend No NYC parties as of this writing except for the well spoken of party in Brooklyn on Sundays that got a glowing review on NYC604 by Dan de Maria. Beings that these are the only people stepping up to the plate and doing somthing this weekend, I’m going to reprint his review here: What a kick-ass awesome party this was!!!! The bartender was making some serious drinks, and the DJs were dropping some serious beats! For me, this party had a little bit of everything that I like. As many of you know, I’m not a strictly psy-trance listener. This started off with some nice nice squeeking and bleeping techno, then moved to the trancier stuff-not quite full-on trance, somthing like a psychadellic techno, then full-on psy-trance from about 1-1:30AM. I had no idea what time it was until looking out the window seeing that it was getting light out!!! The bartender was still serving, the music by this time had moved from full-on to a chillout vibe. One of the owners of the bar came down. I was talking with her for a little while. Seems that she used to hit the clubs in NYC back in the 90’s and is looking to keep some of that vibe going. She had no problem keeping the place opened, just as long as some common sense was applied, no crowds, once you go out, no coming back in, etc. She was really cool about it! Also, big plus here, is that the owners bought the building, so in essence they don’t have to worry about the sound waking the people upstairs, there really aren’t any. And they do have a nice sound setup. Enough sound and in the right places to get the job done properly. I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I didn’t see anyone getting hassled about cigarettes, I wouldn’t push it though. Excellent way to finish the weekend off. Wish I was able to get some sleep… have to get ready for work now! Highly recommend this spot. Nice vibe, half block from the train. Music was great! Alcohol was great! Def. going back next weekend.

Free, ID21+. 9pm-4am. Insha’allah translates roughly to “If God Wills.” This is the weekly meeting of the Christian Muslim Jewish Drinking Society, promoting tolerance, understanding, camaraderie and maybe even friendship amongst those from various creeds through mutual alcohol consumption, apple flavored tobacco smoked through hookahs, and psychedelic trance. The venue is gorgeous and the potential is vast. It’s a combination of all the best qualities of all the venues used in the past few years, with the hookah decor of Karma with the class of Boom. A perfect marriage. Many take their shoes off. Great owners, long hours, good kitchen, free. Occasional free food. No thugs. And no security, the Moroccan guys take care of that.

Flyer at .co Sept 23-25 North Carolina – Powwow festival – touchsamadhi (touchsamadhi/) Goa Gil in Oregon Spirituality & Health – The SoulConnection January/February 2004 This is You r Brain Praying Louise Danielle Palmer When Andrew Newbergs boo k on the brain science behind religious and mystical experience turned up on the cover of Newsweek, it sparked a lively debate about God, evolutio n, and the meaning of life. This “CneurotheologistsE280 9D work is moving fast, so we caught up on his personal quest to underst and the mysterious workings of mind and spirit, his latest research, and its profound implications for our daily lives. When Andrew Newberg, M.D., was a little kid, he had questions so pressing that they would wake him in the middle of the night, get him out of bed, and lead him into his fat hers den. How do we know God exists? he would ask. Why is there good and evil? How do I know whats real? “CIts em barrassing to admit, but I was five years old when I started asking these questions,”D says Newberg, co-author of the acclaimed book Why God Won t Go Away. Not the musings of an average youngster. Then agai n, there is nothing average about Newberg, who at 36 is a professor of nu clear medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, a radiol ogist at the university hospital, and the leading light in the field of n eurotheology, the brain science behind spiritual and religious experience . Newbergs exploration of neurotheology is based on a decade of i ntellectual partnership with Eugene DAquili, M.D., a psychiatris t at the University of Pennsylvania with a doctorate in anthropology, who m Newberg describes as “Cthe most brilliant man Ive ever met.”D DAquili, who died three years ago, was also a scho lar of religion and medieval history who spoke five languages and had eve ry bit of the obsession to get to the root of reality as does Newberg. The y were a perfect match: Newberg had the brain science background and a sp iritual and philosophical bent, whereas DAquili, an Italian Catho lic, had a wealth of insight into psychology, history, and theology. With in the first year of their collaboration, they had developed a theoretica l model for somthing never before illustrated: the spiritual circuitry o f the brain. By building a bridge between science and spirituality, Newber g believes we can achieve what many doctors, physicists, and theologians consider impossible: to pinpoint the origin of consciousness. Newberg ins ists that if we elevate our understanding of mind, body, and spirit, we w ill one day penetrate the mystery of the source of life itself. When that happens, he says, we will discover the true nature of reality, rather th an our subjective experience of it, which we cannot verify. “CJus t because it hasnt been done doesnt mean that it canE2 8099t be done,”D he says with a laugh. “CSomebody has to do it.”D Given his search for answers to the big questions, his sp iritual bent, and his mastery of high-tech medical wizardry, Andrew Newbe rg may well be that somebody. “CAndys work is really cutti ng-edge,”D says David J. Hufford, Ph.D., director of the Doctors K ienle Center for Humanistic Medicine and interim chair of medical humanit ies at Pennsylvania State University. “CIts one thing to ge t respect as a technical first-class performer in radiology, but combinin g that with a breadth of understanding and openness “4 thatE280 99s where you go from being a first-class technical researcher to being in a league of your own. Thats where Andy is “4 in a leag ue of his own.”D Newberg is thin, intense, and a fast walker. I try to keep up as he races down the corridor of the hospitals nucle ar medicine wing, talking excitedly about the SPECT machine, short for si ngle photon emission computed tomography. He leads me into a dimly lit be ige room housing an enormous humming contraption that looks fit for space travel. The SPECT has a metal plate upon which the subjects hea d is placed, surrounded by a three-pronged camera that generates 3-D pict ures of the brain. This is the machine that allowed Newberg and D Aquili to test their theoretical model and capture the now-famous snapshot of the brain in the moment of spiritual transcendence, a state variously known in its highest form as samadhi, nirvana, God consciousness, or abs olute unitary being, a term they coined. Newberg and DAquili be gan their study with a group of devout practitioners of Tibetan Buddhist meditation. Each man was taken into a room, wired with an IV, and given a length of twine to pull once he reached a peak meditative state. Each sa t before a single flickering candle, inhaling the gentle aroma of jasmine incense, quieting his mind as he journeyed inward. Newberg waited next do or for a tug on the twine. When he felt the tug, Newberg entered the room injected the man with a radioactive liquid that travels through the blo odstream into the brain, and whisked him into the SPECT room for a scan. The images he captured showed that the brains prefrontal cortex, c alled the seat of attention, lit up in a brilliant vermilion, indicating an increase in blood flow, or neural activity, due to the meditatorE280 99s state of deep concentration. However, the upper rear area of the bra in, known as the orientation association area, had gone dark, turning a d eep shade of blue. This is where we get our ability to orient ourselves i n space and time, which gives our bodies a sense of physical limits. It i s also where the brain “Cmakes”D our sense of an individual “Cself”D existing in “4 and apart from “4 the physical universe. The darkness in this area told Newberg that when a me ditator took a metaphorical dive inside, the outside world receded, effec tively blocking the sensory input that ordinarily streams into our brains . With no information flowing into that area, the brain cannot create a b oundary between self and outside world, or locate itself in physical real ity. As a result, Newberg explains, it has no choice but to perceive that self as endless, interwoven with everyone and everything. This perceptio n is utterly real to the subject, as real as apple pie (more on that late r). “CI experience E280A6 the emptiness of conditioned existence”D explained one of the Buddhists in the study. “CSometime s I have a feeling of energy centered in my heart. At the same time, I vi sualize this energy going out into infinite space.”D The chromati c changes on the scans were key to understanding the euphoric, otherworld ly states described by so many mystics across time, geography, and cultur e. Christian monks, Jewish Kabbalists, Himalayan yogis, Sufi whirling der vishes, and Buddhist meditators all speak of an altered state where the sel f is absorbed into some larger force or being, described as the spiritual All or the mystical Nothing, depending on ones perspective. Ne wberg later replicated his findings with a study of Franciscan nuns who w ere scanned during moments of profound contemplative prayer. The brain ac tivity, or lack thereof, was remarkably similar to the monks, alth ough the nuns brains showed increased activity in the region tha t creates language. And whereas the Buddhists described their transcenden t moment of meditation as contact with the universal consciousness where the self no longer exists, the sisters tended to describe this moment of prayer as a merging with a tangible God, “Ca greater connectedness with all of creation E280A6 a sense of union with a Presence.E280 9D Both describe a place of boundless peace, unity, infinity. The results also revealed somthing remarkable: The thalamus in both Buddhists and F ranciscans was asymmetrical, suggesting that the brain structure of serio us spiritual practitioners differs from most peoples. Whether thei r brains are different as a result of sustained spiritual practice, or wh ether they were attracted to the practice because their brains were diffe rent to begin with, is still an open question. Newberg began his researc h hoping the scans would illuminate the mysterious connection between E2 809Chuman consciousness and the persistent and peculiarly human longing to connect with somthing larger than ourselves.”D What he learned was that this longing is grounded in our biology and manifested in the v ery wiring of the brain. Whatever skeptics say, mystical religious states can no longer be written off as the result of wishful thinking or emotio nal confusion. Newbergs scans have rendered them visible and obse rvable. “CWhen you show someone a scan and they see changes in the brain, they are seeing somthing happening they cant argue with,Newberg says. For centuries, shamans, mystics, and monks have b een variously labeled as neurotic, deluded, epileptic, and even insane. “CAndy brings a fresh way of looking at spiritual experiences that d oesnt make pathological assumptions about them, but rather sees them as adaptive and valuable,”D says Hufford. “CHe is corr ecting a fundamentally wrong approach toward what it means to be human. I t is in the medical disciplines which have a great deal of prestige as th e scientific gold standard where you are now finding the most productive research on spirituality. Seminaries around the world are trying to catch up with what Andys doing. Its amazing to see this work happening in the belly of the beast.”D Although spirituality is fi nding a footing in the Western medical world, skeptics continue to cast d oubt on Newbergs work, saying it proves that a spiritual state i s nothing more than a neurological event. They claim that spirituality is conjured by the mind and has no basis in reality, citing studies of peop le with brain disorders who commonly experience religious or spiritual re velations, as well as experiments in which electrical storms stimulated in certain parts of the brain gave rise to religious or spiritual visions. “CI put on glasses to see better,”D says Newberg, who does, i n fact, wear lenses, “Cso if God is an infinite and highly energet ic being, then maybe when you have a seizure, your brain is amplifying yo ur vision in a way that allows you to see God. Because a person uses a dr ug or has a brain abnormality that allows their mind to be more open to s piritual experiences doesnt make that experience any less real. A shift has taken place.”D Newberg likes to refer skeptics to the a pple pie analogy. If you ate a freshly baked, piping-hot slice of apple p ie and took a SPECT scan at the moment of your first bite, the parts of y our brain that register shape and form, smell, taste, memory, and associa tion would all light up, while other areas of the brain not involved in t he task would go dark. This experience leaves its footprint on the brain in much the same way as does a peak meditative moment. But does that mean the apple pie isnt “Creal”D? Of course, NewbergE2 8099s research circles back to the question he asked as a five-year-old : How do I know whats real? If reality is entirely constructed by our brains, how can Newberg find an answer to his question? Does that ans wer lie in an ultimate reality beyond this one that transcends “4 and gives birth to “4 our subjective experience of our world? Are the brain scans giving us a glimpse of that place Newberg calls Absolute Unitary Being (AUB) that mystics have long claimed is far more real than our daily “Creality”D? “CInformed speculation tells u s that AUB is a primary reality from which all objective and subjective p erspectives are derived,”D Newberg writes in Why God Wont Go Away. “CWhether or not it is real, it provides us with a common source of all spiritual urges and a universal goal that has been interpre ted in myriad ways by all the great religions of the past and present.E2 809D Spiritual seekers are in good company. Some of the best scientific minds of the twentieth century “4 Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenhei mer (the theoretical physicist who helped create the atom bomb), and Edwi n Schroedinger (the physicist who helped create quantum theory) “4 believed the universe had unity and purpose that went beyond the materia l world. They maintained the possibility of a deeper self beyond what we think of as the self “4 a part of us that sees beyond the duality of subject (me) and object (everything else). Einstein, for instance, spo ke of a “Ccosmic religious feeling”D during which one feels t he “Cnothingness of human desires,”D only “Cthe desi re to experience the universe as a single significant whole.”D Sch roedinger wrote that “Cyou “4 and all other conscious being s as such “4 are all in all.”D With continued research in qu antum physics, spirituality, and neurotheology, Newberg hopes that the my stical state, or AUB, could become the spiritual foundation for a E280 9Cmegatheology.”D For now, though, the question of whether this r eality actually exists is beyond the reach of Newbergs SPECT machi ne “4 and beyond science itself. The only answer is the one rooted in your own experience. “CIt comes down to how we feel and sense reality in the moment, so I view these brain scans as leveling the field”D says Newberg, munching a butterscotch Tastycake Krimpet. E2 809CWhat we are saying is that, from a neurological perspective, hearin g God is as real as eating an apple pie, and eating an apple pie is as re al as talking to the spirit of a mountain or walking down the street. Som ething is happening in the brain so it is quote unquote real.E2 8099 Whether or not it corresponds to true external reality, my brain s cans cant tell you. What they prove is E280A6 you canE280 99t prove it.”D Does Newberg believe in God? “CIm trying to figure it out,”D he says hesitantly. “CIts a hard question to answer, being in my position. If I say yes or no, peo ple will say Im trying to prove or disprove the existence of God . I hate to sound so middle-of-the-roadish, but Im open to both. At the very least, Newberg says he is certain that humans have e volved the capacity to perceive an absolute, universal reality in which w e are all fundamentally connected as one, and this in and of itself requi res us to reconsider our basic assumptions. “CIt puts our everyda y reality in a different light, especially if you believe that our human consciousness or pure awareness is the fundamental stuff of the universe, and that consciousness is abounding everywhere rather than residing in t he brain itself,”D he explains. “COur brains are very good at bringing consciousness in and coalescing it into a person, but the brain is not responsible for consciousness per se. It is just the vehicle by w hich consciousness can be manifested. Consciousness cant just be a phenomenon of the brain because there is no reason that the more neuro ns and connections you pile on, somthing that says, Oh, IE280 99m me is created. On the other hand, we cant yet expl ain how our physical world came out of consciousness.”D Newberg poi nts out that either a strictly spiritual or strictly scientific approach limits our understanding. We cant get out of our brains to know wh at is actually out there because we are trapped in our own consciousness. We create the questions “4 and the answers. We create science. Ev en if you go into meditation and you transcend your mind, which offers yo u the opportunity to do what science cant, the problem of being outside your brain still exists. How do you return so that you can report back? Newberg chuckles at this question, leaving it hanging in the cool a ir as he pops the last of his butterscotch Krimpit into his mouth and wip es the crumbs off his face. What does this mean for our daily lives? If we have evolved with the potential for the mystical, can anyone transcend the mind and reach infinity and unity? Perhaps not. Some of us are barely able to balance our checkbooks, while others can do calculus in the ninth grade. In the same way, Newberg believes some people are born with a gre ater capacity for spiritual expansion than others. On the other hand, Ne wberg says, a person may not have not found the appropriate technique E2 8094 prayer, meditation, creative expression “4 to transport him or her to that place. Newbergs current research is focused on des igning experiments to track the effect of a variety of techniques on the brain in order to help people discover what best suits their nature. Wha t is important, he says, is that all human beings have the longing E280 94 and the capacity “4 for connection and that connection is avai lable everywhere: in church, in music, in art. In fact, many of the relig ious rituals we engage in, such as chanting, drumming, dancing, or moving in a rhythmic fashion, mimic the complex response of our brains to mysti cal experiences. For example, when we focus on one source of sensory input “4 whether it is the sound of a drum or the image of a cross E2 8094 we deprive the brain of other kinds of information. This helps shu t down the orientation association area, which gives us our sense of wher e we begin and the world ends, just as it did when the Franciscans and th e Buddhists entered a deep meditative state. In other words, focus and co ntemplation make us more likely to feel “Cone with everything.E2 809D They also intensify our nervous systems “Cquiescentstate, which is linked to spiritual feelings. In fact, the aut onomic nervous system, which is connected to higher brain structures and regulates basic functions such as heart rate and blood pressure as well a s emotions, is key to understanding why spiritual and religious activitie s affect us. The autonomic nervous system is made up of the sympathetic s ystem, which prepares the body for action and activates our flight-or-fligh t response when we are in danger by increasing heart rate and muscle tone and the parasympathetic system, which is responsible for keeping the bo dy in balance by regulating sleep, inducing relaxation, and governing cel l growth. Many ritualistic practices “4 from tantric yoga to medit ation “4 are associated with changes in the heart rate, blood pres sure and breathing, all of which are controlled by these systems. Usuall y, increased activity in one system results in decreased activity of the other. Newberg and DAquili, however, discovered that when both sym pathetic and parasympathetic systems are pushed to extraordinary levels b y intense physical or mental activity such as prolonged concentration or repetitive motion, altered states of consciousness are triggered. Maximum stimulation of both systems results in “Can ecstatic rush of orga smic-like energy,”D sensations of oceanic tranquility and bliss, t otal absorption, and extraordinary relaxation “4 all at the same t ime. These descriptions mirror high mystical experiences, as well as mild er versions of them, across spiritual and religious traditions. Given how good spiritual and religious practices make us feel “4 and the gr owing body of medical evidence showing that they cut down on stress, improv e the immune system, lower blood pressure, and actually add years to our lives “4 it is no coincidence that we have evolved to be hard-wire d for God, so to speak. What is surprising, however, is that this wiring is rooted in our sexuality. Newberg believes it is no coincidence that th e same feelings associated with mystical experience “4 transcenden ce, a feeling of union, ecstatic bliss “4 are also associated with sex. When Newberg and DAquili mapped the biology of mystical ex perience, they found that the autonomic nervous system has a particular p attern of arousal and quiescence. This same pattern is found in sexual ar ousal and orgasm. It is also activated by repetitive, rhythmic stimulation associated with trance-inducing chanting, dancing, meditation “4 a nd, of course, sex. Newberg isnt saying sexual and spiritual exp eriences are the same thing, but rather that they depend on the same neur al pathways. Since the publication of his book, however, Newberg is less i nterested in peak sexual or mystical experiences than he is in figuring o ut how to apply what he has learned to the daily stuff of our lives. To that end, he has developed a model of how spiritual and religious experie nces condition our moods, focusing on how the brain releases a cascade of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, and hormones when engaged in these experiences. (Prozac and other antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors affect moods in a similar way, by slowing the brain s reuptake of serotonin and leaving more of it available.) A stu dy published this year already has proved Newbergs model accurat e: Meditators achieved higher levels of a similar neurotransmitter called dopamine, associated with motor function, the euphoria created by ingest ing cocaine, and our basic level of happiness. Newberg is waiting for fun ding to test meditators weeks, months, and even years after practicing, t o determine whether it has lasting impact on the physical and emotional b ody. “CThis has tremendous implications for clinical research and p sychotherapy,”D says Newberg. “CIts not about sayi ng stop the Prozac, which might be necessary for some, but rather saying that therapy might include spiritual practices. For milder cases of depre ssion, it is possible people could do things like meditation and prayer t o avoid medication.”D Newberg also has developed a model for the co mplex neurological process of simple spiritual feelings such as forgivene ss. “DSomthing happens in your brain when you forgive someone, or express love and gratitude,”D says Newberg. “CHumility and altruism all have a philosophical basis, an emotional basis, and a neurol ogical basis. We are just starting to develop techniques to look at these things. The scans have opened a window to a huge variety of experiences and ways of thinking.”D Forgiveness, for example, requires a sense of self and of the rest of the world, which comes mainly from the brain s frontal and parietal lobes. We need an emotional memory, which is tied to the hippocampus and the temporal lobes, to recognize when som eone has hurt us. Forgiveness also involves a cognitive process of changi ng our minds, to see a person or problem in a different light. Depending on your nature, this might happen in the limbic system, which is responsi ble for emotion. If you rely on reason, forgiveness might involve your te mporal lobe, the site of analytic and mathematical abilities. If you have a holistic bent, it might involve the right parietal lobe, which creates the feeling of connection. How you forgive depends on how you access E2 809Cthe system”D to reestablish a sense of yourself and create a good feeling, which is relayed to the region that controls behavior. “CThis is what psychotherapy is all about; its what going t o church is all about: how to modify your thoughts and behaviors to feel better and have more success in your relationships. It might help people understand the different ways they are capable of forgiving. Its not a magic bullet, but a way for people to identify how their minds wor k. If we can figure out whats going on when people stop forgivin g or stop loving, maybe we can help them.”D This might seem soft an d fuzzy stuff coming from a hard-core specialist in nuclear medicine, but at the end of the day, Newberg is a spiritual guy who just happens to ha ve a big brain, a radical optimist who wants to change the world. E280 9CThere is a universal quality about the mind,”D he says. “C If you slice everyones head open, which I dont recommen d, you would find pretty much the same thing. Likewise, there is a lot to be said about the universality of religion and spirituality. We all have the same deep questions and we all reach for explanations. Maybe this re search can help us get closer together and make the world a better place. Louise Danielle Palmer is deputy editor of Spirituality & Health magazine.

Having been a musician all his life and then doing intense Yogic practices with Gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite the two forces, Music and Yoga, into one spirit befitting thi s Age. The result is his focus to use the trance party environment a s a medium to uplift the consciousness of the participants through the Sac red Trance Dance Experience. He met Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been together constantly ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in Afri can Djembe drumming and West African Traditional Dance has also had a big influence on the development and direction of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts. Gil & Ariane’s current musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychedelic Trance with West African Traditio nal Drumming in the True Spirit of the Ancients.We will begin with an open ing drum invocation at sunset, followed by Ariane’s ethno-tribal rhythms.& nbsThen Gil will guide us on an 18 hour trip through futuristic s ounds for primal movements, “Redefining Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century.” “Since the beginning of time humankind has used Music and Da nce to commune with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe.&n bsWhen I come to the Party and set up my altar, sprinkle the Holy Water recite the Holy Mantra, and make the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit, and then start the Music… the Music and the whole Party becomes the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit.” Come early on Saturday to set up camp, explore the land, have a swim, share a potluck meal (bring a dish/utensils and pr epare for the amazing journey that awaits us all!

He will discuss the notion of an imminent “dimensional shift,” a mov ement into a new form of consciousness, developed in the works of Terence McKenna, and elaborated in recent studies of the Mayan Calendar, which p resents a different model of temporality, linking vast cycles of time to the evolution of consciousness. According to his hypothesis, the transiti on will conclude with the movement to a harmonic planetary civilization. Open discussion for questions and answers will follow.

Having been a musician all his life and then doing inte nse Yogic practices with Gurus in the Himalayas, he tried to unite the tw o forces, Music and Yoga, into one spirit befitting this Age. The resul t is his focus to use the trance party environment as a medium to uplift the consciousness of the participants through the Sacred Trance Dance Exp erience. He met Ariane in Goa in 1985. They have been together constantl y ever since. Ariane’s keen interest in African Djembe drumming and West African Traditional Dance has also had a big influence on the developmen t and direction of Gil’s musical tastes and concepts. Gil & Ariane’s cur rent musical project is The Nommos, and their goal is to combine Psychede lic Trance with West African Traditional Drumming in the True Spirit of t he Ancients.We will begin with an opening drum invocation at sunset, foll owed by Ariane’s ethno-tribal rhythms. Then Gil will guide us on an 18 h our trip through futuristic sounds for primal movements, “Redefining Anc ient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century.” “Since the beginning of time hu mankind has used Music and Dance to commune with the Spirit of Nature and the Spirit of the Universe. When I come to the Party and set up my alta r, sprinkle the Holy Water, recite the Holy Mantra, and make the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit, and then start the Music… the Music and the whol e Party becomes the Offering to the Cosmic Spirit.” Come early on Saturday to set up camp, explore the land, have a swim, share a potluck meal (bri ng a dish/utensils and prepare for the amazing journey that awaits us all !

Based in Auckland New Zealand, Barton and Hayden Strom are the producers behind the project ANTIX. The Strom brothers dedication to pushing their style in new directions in the ever evolving Progressive Trance genre has made th em one of the emerging acts to watch their scene. Both Barton and Hayden were introduced to music at a young age listening, to music from their parents vast record collections. They quickly became addi cted to the hypnotic sounds of Trance in ’95 when a friend handed them a tape urging them to check it out. Barton instantly purchased a mixer and started DJ’ing at small parties in the growing Auckland scene. Six mont hs later he had moved to Japan to buy studio equipment and teach himself the art of production, and Hayden later joined him. Together they returne d to New Zealand, setting up various studios around Auckland and refining a sound, which really came together once they moved to the West Coast of the North Island and set up Slow Burning Studios in ’99. The sound that seemed to evolve was a kind of minimal organic groove influenced by the E uropean sound being played by DJ PHILIPP from Plastik Park and ANTI from Spiral Trax. It wasn’t long before a connection was made when Philipp to ured Australia and New Zealand in 2000, and ANTIX were signed for their f irst 12”, “Rainstick,” on Plastik Park. Over the years the two have mana ged to put a few of the “big ones” under their belts, playing the U-Site Fusion Festival in Germany, The Boom in Portugal, and The Rainbow Serpent in Australia. And now three years down the line, ANTIX completed their long awaited debut album “Lull” released on the Danish label Iboga Records . The duo are currently touring the globe for the third year, they are o nly half way to completing this tour, but so far its been a huge success, playing parties in Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Japan, the Voov Festival 20 03 in Germany and then in London, where they played alongside other respe cted kiwi artists for the annual New Zealand music night at club Fabric. And now to continue the tour ANTIX will play in Portugal, Switzerland, Sw eden, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Austria and then to finish in France. On top of this theyve also been involved in Auckland label Manta. The label has just released its second 12″ and third compilation “Subduc tion” featuring a excellent selection of New Zealand and international, P rogressive/Psy-Trance which are all available from Cyberculture Records at (web cyberculture.co.nz (web cyberculture.co.nz/) ). So at las t… Here comes the second full length album from ANTIX – “Twin Cost Dis covery.” Since their first album – “Lull” – released on Iboga Records in June 2003, ANTIX had major success with their very groovy and unique sty le. They have been playing their live set at a great number of events an d have made a very good name for themselves in the scene. Now two years later, Iboga Records is proud to be releasing another well produced album. From start to end the Strom brothers take you on a journey deep into the ir soundscapes. You can truly tell that ANTIX has spent many hours makin g this album come true, and once again they surprise with their style, go ing in a new direction. web iboga-records.dk (web iboga-re cords.dk/) DEVIANT SPECIES (Ambivalent Records “3 London) LIVE! DE VIANT SPECIES are the England based electronic duo who are currently tour ing Japan consisting of Santos De Castro and Paul Wright. Consistently r eleasing their unique take on the London Techno sound for the past five y ears, they are now preparing to release their third album, “In the Hands of the Randomiser,” later this year on Ambivalent Records. From the Warl ock Studios comes the long-awaited album by DEVIANT SPECIES. No need for introductions, once more you will be treated to nine quality-consistent cuts of dark and minimal psychedelia for the blackest hours of the night. In this third album installment by DEVIANT SPECIES the band is now only made up of Santos De Castro with collaborations with ex-DEVIANT SPECIES member Paul Konrad Wright (now of N.R.S. fame) and ground-breaking produc er Ady Connor from SCORB. The atmosphere prevailing here is hard, with t inges of Industrial and Ambient intros and outros that cross-over giving the album a continuous flow. It all kicks off with “Voice of Thard,” a ch ugging and spatial number that builds up to a ripping chorus. “Pincushio n Man” continues with galloping intensity where “…Thard” left off movin g relentlessly to a climatic final before “Shellless” ebbs in soothingly with an overture of peerless Gothic beauty. The tight pulse is quickly r estored leading to a frantic groove that allows you to breathe with its i nterspersed waves of noise. On a slightly softer tip “Thermal Boundaries ” follows with an infectious beat that gradually gathers momentum to tran cing-out effect. In a similar rolling yet relaxed vein enters “The Retina l Circus,” which has been doing the bootleg rounds in an earlier unfinish ed version titled “The Abyss.” To follow, “In the Hands of the Randomise r” is the first collaboration between DEVIANT SPECIES and SCORB, a powerf ul track that starts with an Industrial soundscape and steamrolls forward into a roaring pay-off. For the darkest hour “A Night to Dismember” brin gs the proceedings to total mayhem before the forces of light emerge. “P ortal to Balojax” is a 3-minute-plus unwinding ambient piece and serves as a prologue to “The Entrapment of John Dory,” the only morning track in t he album and the second DEVIANT SPECIES vs. SCORB outing, a delicate cut destined to be a classic. web deviantspecies.co.uk (web deviantspecies.co.uk/) web ambivalentrecords (web ambi valentrecords/) DJ EDOARDO (Neurobiotic Records/Sonica 2005 – Italy) EDOARDO is the main man behind Neurobiotic Records.

Why? because Thieves Destroy Scenes. Physi cal thieves, that is. I admit I appropriate almost every idea i can find . None of the logos and nor even the names of every group I am with are original. I can’t really think of anything original maybe, unless it was a weird costume ars back but even all that was store bought. But stealing a bag is anoth er thing entirely, and bag thieving is brilliant in its simplicity to fuck things up for tranceheads. The low number of thieves per capita is one of several reasons why psy-trance has survived the rave implosion. The i dea for us to survive is to keep things too weird and too psychedelic for a (low level) monkey mind to tolerate.

The act JAIA is the project of the French produce r Yannis Kamarinos, formed in 1995 with Jean-Michel Blanchet and first or iented Psy-Trance and Downtempo. Since 2000 Yannis is working alone und er JAIA name, and today JAIAs music is more orientated to Progr essive House and Progressive Trance (and still Downtempo too). JAIA has already released an album “CBlue Energy”D in 1998 (Cross/Eas tWest/Nova Tekk), which has been re-released in 2000 on the Japanese labe l Dakini. JAIA released several 12” singles too, as well as numerous tra cks on various label compilations, such as Island, Iboga, Wagram, Milan, Flying Rhino, T.I.P. World, and many others. The new album “Fiction” wil l be released in May 2005 on Digital Structures. Yannis has collaborated with other producers-DJs such as DADO, WIZY NOISE, and SILICON SOUND.

Based in Auckland New Zeal and, Barton and Hayden Strom are the producers behind the project ANTIX. The Strom brothers dedication to pushing their style in new dir ections in the ever evolving Progressive Trance genre has made them one o f the emerging acts to watch their scene. Both Barton and Hayden were introduced to music at a young age listening, to music from their pa rents vast record collections. They quickly became addicted to the hypnotic sounds of Trance in ’95 when a friend handed them a tape urg ing them to check it out. Barton instantly purchased a mixer and started DJ’ing at small parties in the growing Auckland scene. Six months later he had moved to Japan to buy studio equipment and teach himself the art of production, and Hayden later joined him. Together they returned to Ne w Zealand, setting up various studios around Auckland and refining a sound which really came together once they moved to the West Coast of the Nor th Island and set up Slow Burning Studios in ’99. The sound that seemed t o evolve was a kind of minimal organic groove influenced by the European sound being played by DJ PHILIPP from Plastik Park and ANTI from Spiral T rax. It wasn’t long before a connection was made when Philipp toured Aus tralia and New Zealand in 2000, and ANTIX were signed for their first 12” “Rainstick,” on Plastik Park. Over the years the two have managed to p ut a few of the “big ones” under their belts, playing the U-Site Fusion F estival in Germany, The Boom in Portugal, and The Rainbow Serpent in Aust ralia. And now three years down the line, ANTIX completed their long awa ited debut album “Lull” released on the Danish label Iboga Records. The duo are currently touring the globe for the third year, they are only hal f way to completing this tour, but so far its been a huge success, playing parties in Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Japan, the Voov Festival 2003 in Ge rmany and then in London, where they played alongside other respected kiw i artists for the annual New Zealand music night at club Fabric. And now to continue the tour ANTIX will play in Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Ge rmany, Greece, Hungary, Austria and then to finish in France. On top of this theyve also been involved in Auckland label Manta. The lab el has just released its second 12″ and third compilation “Subduction” fe aturing a excellent selection of New Zealand and international, Progressi ve/Psy-Trance which are all available from Cyberculture Records at (web c yberculture.co.nz (web cyberculture.co.nz/) ). So at last… He re comes the second full length album from ANTIX – “Twin Cost Discovery.” Since their first album – “Lull” – released on Iboga Records in June 20 03, ANTIX had major success with their very groovy and unique style. The y have been playing their live set at a great number of events and have m ade a very good name for themselves in the scene. Now two years later, I boga Records is proud to be releasing another well produced album. From start to end the Strom brothers take you on a journey deep into their soun dscapes. You can truly tell that ANTIX has spent many hours making this album come true, and once again they surprise with their style, going in a new direction. web iboga-records.dk (web iboga-records.dk /) DEVIANT SPECIES (Ambivalent Records “3 London) LIVE! DEVIANT SP ECIES are the England based electronic duo who are currently touring Japa n consisting of Santos De Castro and Paul Wright. Consistently releasing their unique take on the London Techno sound for the past five years, th ey are now preparing to release their third album, “In the Hands of the R andomiser,” later this year on Ambivalent Records. From the Warlock Stud ios comes the long-awaited album by DEVIANT SPECIES. No need for introdu ctions, once more you will be treated to nine quality-consistent cuts of dark and minimal psychedelia for the blackest hours of the night. In thi s third album installment by DEVIANT SPECIES the band is now only made up of Santos De Castro with collaborations with ex-DEVIANT SPECIES member P aul Konrad Wright (now of N.R.S. fame) and ground-breaking producer Ady C onnor from SCORB. The atmosphere prevailing here is hard, with tinges of Industrial and Ambient intros and outros that cross-over giving the albu m a continuous flow. It all kicks off with “Voice of Thard,” a chugging a nd spatial number that builds up to a ripping chorus. “Pincushion Man” c ontinues with galloping intensity where “…Thard” left off moving relent lessly to a climatic final before “Shellless” ebbs in soothingly with an overture of peerless Gothic beauty. The tight pulse is quickly restored leading to a frantic groove that allows you to breathe with its intersper sed waves of noise. On a slightly softer tip “Thermal Boundaries” follow s with an infectious beat that gradually gathers momentum to trancing-out effect. In a similar rolling yet relaxed vein enters “The Retinal Circu s,” which has been doing the bootleg rounds in an earlier unfinished vers ion titled “The Abyss.” To follow, “In the Hands of the Randomiser” is th e first collaboration between DEVIANT SPECIES and SCORB, a powerful track that starts with an Industrial soundscape and steamrolls forward into a roaring pay-off. For the darkest hour “A Night to Dismember” brings the proceedings to total mayhem before the forces of light emerge. “Portal to Balojax” is a 3-minute-plus unwinding ambient piece and serves as a prol ogue to “The Entrapment of John Dory,” the only morning track in the album and the second DEVIANT SPECIES vs. SCORB outing, a delicate cut destined to be a classic. web deviantspecies.co.uk (web deviants pecies.co.uk/) web ambivalentrecords (web ambivalentre cords/) DJ EDOARDO (Neurobiotic Records/Sonica 2005 – Italy) EDOARDO is the main man behind Neurobiotic Records.

Flyer at web tranceam.org/moroccoparty.j pg Sept 23-25 North Carolina – Powwow festival – touchsamadhi (touch samadhi/) Goa Gil in Oregon Supreme Court to Hear Case of Dis pute Over Religious Group’s Use of Banned d By LINDA GREENHOUSE (ht per) Published: April 19, 2005 WASHINGTON, April 18 – The Supreme Cou rt added an important new religion case to its docket on Monday, agreeing to decide whether the government can ban the importation of a hallucinog enic tea that is central to the religious rituals of a small Brazil-based church. The case raises the broader question of how the court will inter pret, in the context of an illegal d, a law that ordinarily requires th e federal government to refrain to the maximum extent possible from inter fering with religious practices. The tea, known as hoasca, is made from plants that grow in the Amazon region and that produce a chemical listed by both the federal government and an international narcotics traffickin g treaty as a controlled substance. The chemical, dimthyltryptamine, usu ally known as d, can also be produced in a laboratory, but followers of the Uniao Do Vegetal religion use only the naturally occurring version, which does not grow in the United States. The case is an appeal by the Bu sh administration of a federal court injunction won by the 130 members of the church’s American branch, who brought a lawsuit five years ago to pr ohibit the government from invoking the Controlled Substances Act to bloc k the importation of their tea and from seizing the sacred drink. The chu rch, which combines elements of Christianity and indigenous Brazilian rel igion, opened its American branch in Santa Fe, N.M., in 1993. The Federal District Court in Albuquerque, ruling before trial, issued a preliminary injunction against the government. The order was subsequently affirmed b y a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, in Denver, and last November was affirmed again by the full appea ls court by a vote of 8 to 5. A trial has still not taken place, a fact t hat would ordinarily pose an obstacle to Supreme Court review. In fact, o n Dec. 10 of last year, the justices denied the administration’s request for a stay of the Court of Appeals order until the solicitor general’s of fice could prepare a formal petition for Supreme Court review. The denial of a request for a stay in those circumstances is usually a strong signa l that the Supreme Court will not consider the eventual appeal to be wort hy of its attention. But in this case, Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Bene ficiente Uniao Do Vegetal, No. 04-1084, the justices might have been pers uaded, at least to let the administration have its say, by the strongly w orded appeal filed by Paul D. Clement, the acting solicitor general. Deno uncing the lower courts’ handling of the case as “contrary to all precede nt,” Mr. Clement said that “no court has ever ordered the United States to permit a religious exemption to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.” Schedule I, on which d is listed, along with marijuana and other illicit ds, is reserved for substances that the government considers t o be particularly unsafe and to have no valid medical use. Both the exec utive branch and Congress, however, have granted a religious exemption fo r another Schedule I d, peyote, which is used in religious ceremonies by the Native American Church. In an opinion concurring in the 10th Circui t’s decision to uphold the injunction, Judge Michael W. McConnell cited t he peyote exemption as evidence that the government was free to exercise discretion in such matters. Rejecting the argument that the district cour t should have deferred to the other two branches, Judge McConnell said: ” If Congress or the executive branch had investigated the religious use of hoasca and had come to an informed conclusion that the health risks or p ossibility of diversion are sufficient to outweigh the free exercise conc erns in this case, that conclusion would be entitled to great weight. But neither branch has done that.” Instead, he said, the government had simpl y invoked the general principle that controlled substances are dangerous. Judge McConnell, a leading scholar on questions concerning the free exer cise of religion before he became a judge, is widely seen as a possible B ush administration choice for a future Supreme Court vacancy.

But s tealing a bag is another thing entirely, and bag thieving is brilliant in its simplicity to fuck things up for tranceheads. The low number of thieves per capita is one of several reasons why psy-trance has survived t he rave implosion. The idea for us to survive is to keep things too weird and too psychedelic for a (low level) monkey mind to tolerate.

Based in Auckland New Zealand, Barton and Hayden Stro m are the producers behind the project ANTIX. The Strom brothers dedication to pushing their style in new directions in the ever evolving Progressive Trance genre has made them one of the emerging acts to watch their scene. Both Barton and Hayden were introduced to music at a young age listening, to music from their parents vast record co llections. They quickly became addicted to the hypnotic sounds of Trance in ’95 when a friend handed them a tape urging them to check it out. Ba rton instantly purchased a mixer and started DJ’ing at small parties in t he growing Auckland scene. Six months later he had moved to Japan to buy studio equipment and teach himself the art of production, and Hayden lat er joined him. Together they returned to New Zealand, setting up various studios around Auckland and refining a sound, which really came together once they moved to the West Coast of the North Island and set up Slow Bu rning Studios in ’99. The sound that seemed to evolve was a kind of minim al organic groove influenced by the European sound being played by DJ PHI LIPP from Plastik Park and ANTI from Spiral Trax. It wasn’t long before a connection was made when Philipp toured Australia and New Zealand in 20 00, and ANTIX were signed for their first 12”, “Rainstick,” on Plastik Pa rk. Over the years the two have managed to put a few of the “big ones” u nder their belts, playing the U-Site Fusion Festival in Germany, The Boom in Portugal, and The Rainbow Serpent in Australia. And now three years down the line, ANTIX completed their long awaited debut album “Lull” relea sed on the Danish label Iboga Records. The duo are currently touring the globe for the third year, they are only half way to completing this tour but so far its been a huge success, playing parties in Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Japan, the Voov Festival 2003 in Germany and then in London, wh ere they played alongside other respected kiwi artists for the annual New Zealand music night at club Fabric. And now to continue the tour ANTIX w ill play in Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Aust ria and then to finish in France. On top of this theyve also be en involved in Auckland label Manta. The label has just released its sec ond 12″ and third compilation “Subduction” featuring a excellent selectio n of New Zealand and international, Progressive/Psy-Trance which are all available from Cyberculture Records at (web cyberculture.co.nz (w ww.cyberculture.co.nz/) ). So at last… Here comes the second full leng th album from ANTIX – “Twin Cost Discovery.” Since their first album – ” Lull” – released on Iboga Records in June 2003, ANTIX had major success w ith their very groovy and unique style. They have been playing their liv e set at a great number of events and have made a very good name for them selves in the scene. Now two years later, Iboga Records is proud to be r eleasing another well produced album. From start to end the Strom brothe rs take you on a journey deep into their soundscapes. You can truly tell that ANTIX has spent many hours making this album come true, and once ag ain they surprise with their style, going in a new direction. web iboga-records.dk (web iboga-records.dk/) DEVIANT SPECIES (Ambival ent Records “3 London) LIVE! DEVIANT SPECIES are the England based electronic duo who are currently touring Japan consisting of Santos De C astro and Paul Wright. Consistently releasing their unique take on the L ondon Techno sound for the past five years, they are now preparing to rele ase their third album, “In the Hands of the Randomiser,” later this year o n Ambivalent Records. From the Warlock Studios comes the long-awaited al bum by DEVIANT SPECIES. No need for introductions, once more you will be treated to nine quality-consistent cuts of dark and minimal psychedelia for the blackest hours of the night. In this third album installment by DEVIANT SPECIES the band is now only made up of Santos De Castro with col laborations with ex-DEVIANT SPECIES member Paul Konrad Wright (now of N.R .S. fame) and ground-breaking producer Ady Connor from SCORB. The atmosp here prevailing here is hard, with tinges of Industrial and Ambient intro s and outros that cross-over giving the album a continuous flow. It all kicks off with “Voice of Thard,” a chugging and spatial number that builds up to a ripping chorus. “Pincushion Man” continues with galloping inten sity where “…Thard” left off moving relentlessly to a climatic final be fore “Shellless” ebbs in soothingly with an overture of peerless Gothic b eauty. The tight pulse is quickly restored leading to a frantic groove t hat allows you to breathe with its interspersed waves of noise. On a sli ghtly softer tip “Thermal Boundaries” follows with an infectious beat tha t gradually gathers momentum to trancing-out effect. In a similar rollin g yet relaxed vein enters “The Retinal Circus,” which has been doing the bootleg rounds in an earlier unfinished version titled “The Abyss.” To f ollow, “In the Hands of the Randomiser” is the first collaboration betwee n DEVIANT SPECIES and SCORB, a powerful track that starts with an Industr ial soundscape and steamrolls forward into a roaring pay-off. For the da rkest hour “A Night to Dismember” brings the proceedings to total mayhem b efore the forces of light emerge. “Portal to Balojax” is a 3-minute-plus unwinding ambient piece and serves as a prologue to “The Entrapment of J ohn Dory,” the only morning track in the album and the second DEVIANT SPE CIES vs. SCORB outing, a delicate cut destined to be a classic. web deviantspecies.co.uk (web deviantspecies.co.uk/) web a mbivalentrecords (web ambivalentrecords/) DJ EDOARDO (Neu robiotic Records/Sonica 2005 – Italy) EDOARDO is the main man behind Neuro biotic Records.

Based in Auckland New Zealand, Barton and H ayden Strom are the producers behind the project ANTIX. The Strom brothe rs dedication to pushing their style in new directions in the eve r evolving Progressive Trance genre has made them one of the emerging act s to watch their scene. Both Barton and Hayden were introduced to music at a young age listening, to music from their parents vas t record collections. They quickly became addicted to the hypnotic sound s of Trance in ’95 when a friend handed them a tape urging them to check it out. Barton instantly purchased a mixer and started DJ’ing at small p arties in the growing Auckland scene. Six months later he had moved to J apan to buy studio equipment and teach himself the art of production, and Hayden later joined him. Together they returned to New Zealand, setting up various studios around Auckland and refining a sound, which really ca me together once they moved to the West Coast of the North Island and set up Slow Burning Studios in ’99. The sound that seemed to evolve was a ki nd of minimal organic groove influenced by the European sound being playe d by DJ PHILIPP from Plastik Park and ANTI from Spiral Trax. It wasn’t l ong before a connection was made when Philipp toured Australia and New Ze aland in 2000, and ANTIX were signed for their first 12”, “Rainstick,” on Plastik Park. Over the years the two have managed to put a few of the “b ig ones” under their belts, playing the U-Site Fusion Festival in Germany The Boom in Portugal, and The Rainbow Serpent in Australia. And now th ree years down the line, ANTIX completed their long awaited debut album ” Lull” released on the Danish label Iboga Records. The duo are currently touring the globe for the third year, they are only half way to completin g this tour, but so far its been a huge success, playing parties in Denma rk, Sweden, Croatia, Japan, the Voov Festival 2003 in Germany and then in London, where they played alongside other respected kiwi artists for the annual New Zealand music night at club Fabric. And now to continue the t our ANTIX will play in Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Greece, Hu ngary, Austria and then to finish in France. On top of this they ve also been involved in Auckland label Manta. The label has just releas ed its second 12″ and third compilation “Subduction” featuring a excellen t selection of New Zealand and international, Progressive/Psy-Trance whic h are all available from Cyberculture Records at (web cyberculture.co.nz (web cyberculture.co.nz/) ). So at last… Here comes the secon d full length album from ANTIX – “Twin Cost Discovery.” Since their firs t album – “Lull” – released on Iboga Records in June 2003, ANTIX had majo r success with their very groovy and unique style. They have been playin g their live set at a great number of events and have made a very good na me for themselves in the scene. Now two years later, Iboga Records is pr oud to be releasing another well produced album. From start to end the S trom brothers take you on a journey deep into their soundscapes. You can truly tell that ANTIX has spent many hours making this album come true, a nd once again they surprise with their style, going in a new direction. web iboga-records.dk (web iboga-records.dk/) DEVIANT SPECI ES (Ambivalent Records “3 London) LIVE! DEVIANT SPECIES are the Eng land based electronic duo who are currently touring Japan consisting of S antos De Castro and Paul Wright. Consistently releasing their unique take on the London Techno sound for the past five years, they are now prepari ng to release their third album, “In the Hands of the Randomiser,” later this year on Ambivalent Records. From the Warlock Studios comes the long -awaited album by DEVIANT SPECIES. No need for introductions, once more you will be treated to nine quality-consistent cuts of dark and minimal p sychedelia for the blackest hours of the night. In this third album inst allment by DEVIANT SPECIES the band is now only made up of Santos De Cast ro with collaborations with ex-DEVIANT SPECIES member Paul Konrad Wright (now of N.R.S. fame) and ground-breaking producer Ady Connor from SCORB. The atmosphere prevailing here is hard, with tinges of Industrial and Am bient intros and outros that cross-over giving the album a continuous flo w. It all kicks off with “Voice of Thard,” a chugging and spatial number that builds up to a ripping chorus. “Pincushion Man” continues with gall oping intensity where “…Thard” left off moving relentlessly to a climat ic final before “Shellless” ebbs in soothingly with an overture of peerle ss Gothic beauty. The tight pulse is quickly restored leading to a frant ic groove that allows you to breathe with its interspersed waves of noise . On a slightly softer tip “Thermal Boundaries” follows with an infectio us beat that gradually gathers momentum to trancing-out effect. In a sim ilar rolling yet relaxed vein enters “The Retinal Circus,” which has been doing the bootleg rounds in an earlier unfinished version titled “The Ab yss.” To follow, “In the Hands of the Randomiser” is the first collabora tion between DEVIANT SPECIES and SCORB, a powerful track that starts with an Industrial soundscape and steamrolls forward into a roaring pay-off. For the darkest hour “A Night to Dismember” brings the proceedings to tot al mayhem before the forces of light emerge. “Portal to Balojax” is a 3- minute-plus unwinding ambient piece and serves as a prologue to “The Entr apment of John Dory,” the only morning track in the album and the second DEVIANT SPECIES vs. SCORB outing, a delicate cut destined to be a classic. web deviantspecies.co.uk (web deviantspecies.co.uk/) web ambivalentrecords (web ambivalentrecords/) DJ E DOARDO (Neurobiotic Records/Sonica 2005 – Italy) EDOARDO is the main man b ehind Neurobiotic Records.

AP file Former pitcher Bill Le e wrote about players smoking d in his 1984 book ‘The Orange Stuff.’ Now, acid, Fungi, and other concoctions promising multicolors are all the rage, lining glass-doored fridges and locker shelves, most packin g no more wallop and presenting no more danger than a shot glass of yage. Yet few among dozens of major league ballplayers interviewed by The Ass ociated Press say that d or its chemical cousins in other colors really have been relegated to the past. Discretion, in this age of congressional hearings and calls for cleaning up the game, demands less visibility and less discussion. Hallucinogens are not banned by the major leagues, tho ugh commissioner Bud Selig last month called for testing for the psychede lics. The players’ union has said it would discuss the issue. Seattle’s B ret Boone, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Jason Phillips, the Angels’ Darin Ers tad, Detroit’s Ivan Rodriguez and Giants manager Felipe Alo u were among many who wouldn’t touch the subject of psychedelics. Said Al ou: “We’ve been through a lot with this ballclub” – true enough, with Barr y Bonds’ personal trainer still embroiled in the BALCO steroids investiga tion. At the mention of d, Washington Nationals manager Frank Robinson, a Hall of Fame player who is among the most astute observers of the game tightened his lips in a half-smile and drew his thumb and forefinger to gether across them as if to keep his lips zipped. Among more than 50 play ers willing to speak on the record, guesses about how widely tryptamines are still used – and guesses are all anyone could offer in the absence of tests – ranged from less than 10 percent to more than 75 percent of all major leaguers. “You hear stories about guys smoking it as soon as they w ake up in the morning and all through the day,” said Seattle Mariners pitc her Jeff Nelson, among those who believe the higher figure is most accura te and that all the “colorful” ds should be banned. “It just gets to b e a habit. They need to smoke more of it to get them more spiritual.” Da llas McPherson, the Los Angeles Angels rookie third baseman, estimated th at half to 75 percent of players use psychedelics of some sort, but he did n’t favor banning any ds, prescribed or not. Athletes and Dr ugs Post a Message (boards.aol/aol/artlist.mbl (aol://2719:3-6880-The%20Stadium%20Club/) Top Sports Discussions (aol://1722:sportstalk/) “Most cases, they’re out too late and taking somthing to become more spiritually awar e, give them a little extra zen,” he said. “If you take a hit of acid to give you more energy, how does that help you hit a baseball? I don’t take it. I don’t need it. I’m 24 years old. Maybe when I’m 30 I’ll have a dif ferent opinion.” Obviously, Machinelf retorts, McPherson v-never heard of Steve Howe. “All these baseball fat fucks are in denial. A funny thing happened to former Giant and Cardinal outfield great Orlando (“Baby Bull” ) Cepeda on his way to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rounding first, he trip ped over a two-kilo package of marijuana on the basepath and was called ” out.” Sent back to the bench, he languished there for 25 years before the veterans on the committee relented and gave him the nod, and the one-tim e “d outlaw” took his rightful place among the game’s elite in Coopers town earlier this summer. ds are a time honored part of American cult ure. But star baseball players are hardly strangers to illegal ds. In fact, these two American pastimes have often gone hand in hand (or powder to nose, joint to lips, paper to tongue), providing juicy scandal materi al for writers on the sports beat and their readers. The l No-Hitter When the subject of baseball and ds comes up, the story of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis and his celebrated “l No-Hitter” stands out above all others. On June 12, 1970, the 25-year-old pitcher was between sta rts, so he stayed back in his Los Angeles hotel while his team flew on to San Diego to play the Padres. Ellis invited his girlfriend over, and the y dropped hits of acid around noon. As he tells it in his autobiography, In the Country of Baseball: “I had taken l … I thought it was an off day. That’s how come I had it in me. I took the l at 12 noon. At one, m y girlfriend looked in the paper and said ‘Dock, you’re pitching today’.” The original starting pitcher for the Pirates was a last-minute scratch d ue to an injury. Dock’s girlfriend drove him to the airport for a 3 p.m. flight. With great difficulty, he managed to get to the ballpark on time. He was on the mound throwing the first pitch at 6 p.m. It was the first game of a two-night doubleheader against the Padres. “I can only remembe r bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched, I had a feeling of euphoria . I was zeroed in on the catcher’s glove.” “The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes; sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I di dn’t.” He saw comet-tails on every pitch. He was wild that evening, walkin g eight batters, but pitched that rarity a no-hitter. For advocates of the mind-expanding properties of psychedelic ds, this was the stuff o f legend. Ellis waited until 1984 to reveal that he was on acid the night he achieved baseball immortality. Back in 1970, it would have been damag ing to his career to make that admission publicly. By 1984 he was out of baseball, working as a d rehabilitation counselor, and he decided to s et the record straight. l wasn’t his only d. Ellis sometimes swallowe d 10-15 amphetamines before a game. “I was going out there on the average of 75 milligrams,” he says. “Some guys I pitched against, we would try t o guess which one of us was higher.” The “Spaceman” Probably the most c olorful and outspoken baseball player who is associated with ds is Bil l “Spaceman” Lee. Lee pitched for the Red Sox and the Expos from the late ’60s to the early ’80s. Toward the end of his career, he told reporters he smoked marijuana, which earned him both a strong admonition from the c ommissioner of baseball and a spot on the cover of High Times. A few year s after he left the game, he wrote a memoir of his years in baseball (The Wrong Stuff, 1984) in which he blew the lid off d use in the major lea gues: Reporter: “I was wondering if the Red Sox club had a problem with marijuana.” Lee: “Hell, no …. I’ve been using that stuff since 1968 and I’ve never had a problem with it.” The next day, the headlines across No rth America read: “LEE ADMITS TO SMOKING MARIJUANA.” Lee noted that get ting high can bring the players and fans together: “ds also serve as t okens of appreciation. While coming off the field in Montreal after throw ing a good game, I would often find my path littered with small packets o f hash.” He also wrote about doing mescaline and Fungi, insisting tha t these substances did not harm a player’s performance as long as the d use was balanced out with a good training regimen. Acid and Nose Candy Spaceman Lee on tripping: “Psychedelics weren’t being used for kicks, they were being used to sober up. A player did not gulp down ‘Mollies’ with th e expectation that it would enhance his performance. He did it to get his pulse going on the morning after the night before.” As with the rest of America, the 1980s was the Decade of Cocaine for baseball, with headline -grabbing arrests of a number of superstars. The most famous of these wer e Steve Howe (ace closer for the Dodgers and Yankees), strikeout king Dwi ght Gooden, and slugger Darryl Strawberry (both of whom started their car eers with the Mets and went on to play for the Yankees, with stops elsewh ere). A few more famous players with a penchant for nose candy were Lamar Hoyt, a repeat 20-game winner with the Chicago White Sox, and speedster L onnie Smith of the Atlanta Braves. Each of these players and a number of others were either caught with a small amount of cocaine in their p ossession or failed a d test. Most were repeat offenders Howe was a n 8-time loser, while Strawberry was re-arrested just last spring. Unques tionably, their fame and importance as athletes counted greatly; all were sent to expensive rehab centers, and none of them did jail time, unlike hundreds of thousands who committed the same sort of (victimless) “crime. ” There is no evidence that these players on-field performances suffered f rom their cocaine use. But they did have to cope with legal problems and the hits their reputations took from baseball writers and fans who toed t he national anti-d line. It was, after all, the era of Nancy Reagan, a nd ’80s anti-d zealotry ensured that those who battled publicly with a ddiction earned instant pariah status. In earlier eras baseball players, including some of its shining stars, were serious alcoholics. Babe Ruth was a prodigious drinker, and greats like Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio l ent themselves to cigarette s that appeared in popular magaz ines like Life and Look during the ’40s and ’50s. As Dock Ellis wrote: “I f parents need athletes as role models, they’re in trouble.” Washington’ s Jeff Hammonds laughed when he said “zero percent” of the players use DM T. “Can’t go wrong with that,” he said. “I’ve seen all sorts of d aroun d – even the shit you snort and is blowed into your nose like a cannon by a tribesman. . But I’ve never been offered any. You don’t know where the y’re made and you don’t know what they are.” The consensus among players and trainers willing to speak out was that: d is still used in baseball the only question being how widely. “Scare tactics aren’t going to work with ballplayers,” said Tim Maxey of the Cleveland Indians, president of the Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society. “You have to have sound p rinciples, and alternatives to using performance-enhancing ds. Any psy chedelic is going to put you at risk, especially in extreme hot, humid co nditions like that of Burning Man. “We have players coming up all the time saying, ‘Can you do a Dancesafe analysis for us for this for us? What’s in it? What does this mean? It could be Tang or soe other fake hippy shit .” Maxey used the information Tygart provided from USADA to put together a pamphlet for the Indians in English and Spanish. Other teams are lookin g at that as a model to educate their own players in the majors and minor s. “Travel schedules and game times make it difficult to adhere to a comp lete nutrition program, but you’ve got to fuel yourself appropriately,” M axey said. “Psychedelics are only a perceived performance boost, and they ‘re too dangerous to fool with. If you do them just once, you’re legally insane.
