The Unabomber, LSD and the Internet

January 15th, 2007

Ultimately stunning in its revelations, Lutz Dammbeck’s THE NET explores the incredibly complex back-story of Ted Kaczynski, the infamous Unabomber. This exquisitely crafted inquiry into the rationale of this mythic figure situates him within a late 20th Century web of technology – a system that he grew to oppose. A marvelously subversive approach to the history of the Internet, this insightful documentary combines speculative travelogue and investigative journalism to trace contrasting counter cultural responses to the cybernetic revolution. For those who resist these intrusive systems of technological control, the Unabomber has come to symbolize an ultimate figure of Refusal. For those that embrace it, as did and do the early champions of media art like Marshall McLuhan, Nam June Paik, and Stewart Brand, the promises of worldwide networking and instantaneous communication outweighed the perils. Dambeck’s conceptual quest links these multiple nodes of cultural and political thought like the Internet itself. Circling through themes of utopianism, anarchism, terrorism, CIA, LSD, MK-ULTRA, Tim Leary, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, THE NET exposes conspiracies and upheavals, secrets and cover-ups along the way.

THE PHARMACRATIC INQUISITION

December 23rd, 2006

Fly Agaric Amanita Muscaria mushroomI’ve been waiting for the right time to post this amazing monumental presentation regarding the occult and esoteric pagan history behind religious symbolism in relation to Jesus and Sun cycles, amanita muscaria mushroom (fly agaric) and the divine experiences of altered states of consciousness through entheogenic drugs. Happy Holidaze…

Thousands of years ago, in the pre monarchic era, psychedelic/entheogenic substances where publicly known world wide and were respected for their ability to bring forth the divine, Yahweh, God, The Great Spirit, etc., by the many cultures who used them. Often the entire tribe or community would partake in the entheogenic rites. These rites were often used in initiation into adulthood, for healing, to help guide the community in the decision process, and to bring the direct religious experience to anyone seeking it, that might take these psychedelic sacraments properly.

In the pre literate world, the knowledge of psychedelic plant sacraments, as well as fertility rites and astronomical knowledge surrounding the sun, stars, and zodiac, known as astrotheology, were anthropomorphized into human/god like beings so their stories and practices could be passed down for generations. Weather changes over millenniums caused environmental changes that altered the available foods and plant sacraments available in the local vicinity. If a tribe lost its shamanic El-der (El – God), all of the tribe’s knowledge of their plant sacraments as well as astronomical knowledge would be lost.

Terence Kemp McKenna ( November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was a writer and philosopher. He was notable for his many speculations on subjects ranging from the Voynich Manuscript, the origins of the human species to Novelty theory.
 
Novelty theory claims time to be a fractal wave of increasing novelty (or creativity,complexity).
 
This novelty wave, when synthesized using his mathematically based computer program culminates dramatically in 2012.The meaning of this culmination was once described by Terence, “Because of the speeding up of this wave of novelty we will discover infinitely higher amounts of novelty between now and 2012 in comparison with the big-bang up until now.”
 
His concept appeared to involve a combination of Entheogens, hallucinogenic chemical agents, Gaianism, and shamanism.

Alan Watts Explains Your Existance Under the Microscope
Alan Watts in reference to human consciencness says, “Look at a photograph under the microscope and you will find that it is an amalgamation of dots, some light, some dark. In other words the whole thing has been reduced to somewhat of a pointless amalgamation of bits. But the way we have, in our culture, have selected, has always left out space…and REJECTED THAT, REJECTED THE INTERVAL between things as something reletively insignificant.” – Alan Watts
