Collage Culture http://collageculture.com/

In an essay called "The Death of Subculture," Aaron Rose (director of Beautiful Losers and co-curator of MoCA's record-smashing exhibit Art in the Streets) makes an impassioned call to arms, urging the next generation of artists to end the collage era by adopting a philosophy of creative innovation. And in her essay "Living in the Mess," Mandy Kahn (columnist, Foam magazine) considers whether the collage of references that surrounds us might negatively affect the way we feel.

Lyrics:

Possessed by something in the wind. 

They watch me like I'm a threat to them. 

With implants deep below their skin.

They laugh 'cause some refuse a PIN.

[chorus]

Sounds like a riot choking the highway. 

With stun guns, smoke, and sirens on display.

[chorus]

Remember when no one danced the same. 

We all had a voice, we had a name. 

We're gold that's as bright as hell's own flame. 

Forgive me, for i have lost my way.

Dripping in blood, waiting for your return. 

In repetition hall of the nocturne. 

Where we're going to, you can't bring all your worth.
Oh raise me up, oh raise me from the dirt. 

Each second is a high point of concern. 

Where we're going to, you can't bring all your worth.

Great little video of McKenna.
It's long, but divided into sections so you needn't listen to it all or necessarily start at the beginning.
Enjoy!

The Monroe Institute & something called Hemi-Sync

Something I've been doing for some years now is called the Gateway Training Program, or the Gateway Experience. I will let it speak for itself.

The following is taken from the Gateway Experience.

Comments from Bob Monroe regarding the Gateway Experience

What can you expect from the Gateway Experience? As much or as little as you put into it. The exercises provide you with a set of tools - how you use them and what you do with them is your responsibility. Some discover themselves for the first time, and thus live more completely, more constructively. Others reach levels of awareness so profound that only one such experience is enough for a lifetime. Still others become seekers after truth and add ongoing adventure to their daily activity.

There is only one basis - that you seriously consider the Gateway Affirmation at the least a possibility: that you are more than your physical body, that you can and do exist in energy systems that are not limited to time-space, that you can and do communicate with intelligence beyond your physical consciousness - call it what you will.


What is Hemi-Sync?

Hemi-Sync is a patented, scientifically and clinically proven audio-guidance technology developed by The Monroe Institute and refined with over 40 years of research. Researchers learned that specific sound patterns could lead the brain to various states of consciousness ranging from deep relaxation or sleep to expanded awareness and other "extraordinary" states.

The audio-guidance process works by sending different sounds (tones) to each ear with stereo headphones. The two hemisphers of the brain then act in unison to "hear" a third signal - the difference between the two tones. This is not an actual sound, but an electrical signal that can only be perceived within the brain by both brain hemispheres working together. The result is a focused, whole-brain state known as hemispheric synchronization, or "Hemi-Sync." Different Hemi-Sync signals are used to facilitate deep relaxation, focused attention, or other desired states.

Music, verbal guidance, or subtle sound effects are combined with Hemi-Sync signals to strengthen their effectiveness. These recordings contain no subliminal messages. You are always in control.

Beautiful Colors - China

Serious thoughts come together fall backward and loop as we think to bring comedy into our conversations about genocide, inequity, or inequality and if it will loosen people up to accepting the topic as a viable point of departure for future thought-flight, like a blinding flash of light before we rocket through the stratosphere (what's a heliosphere?) to the sound of thousands of waterfalls, although, I wonder if the right ears will hear. If not, it'll be entertaining if it's funny.

Joe Rogan, Duncann Trussel, Brian Redban

Comedians are some of the most eloquently intelligent types to listen to. Funny too.

While I paint I often listen to lectures and things like this. You never know, maybe something will expand your mind a little further, and that's always a good thing.

Ice Cube - Everything's Corrupt

If you have to eat cat shit or dog shit for the next four years, which will you choose?

Real changes - and your ability to make them

"Quantum mechanics clearly shows that nothing can be predetermined, no matter how events may appear. Not only is ours a small world, it is a Zen world after all. You may object and claim that you can't change because people remember how you are, that you are powerless to change anything. But the indivisible quantum of shapable action proves you wrong.
/
Even our concept of memory needs revision. The unrelentless quantum shows that the past as well as the future, is created. There is no past. There is no future. We create both, continuously and in unpredictable ways. This is it. There are no hidden messages. If, for only an instant, you sense this overwhelming fact of your existence, it will alster your future now as you hold this book in your hands. You can't help but sense a feeling of power. No one knows you. You know no one."

I stole this book from a library as a teenager. Found I still love it.  :)
I have altered the past once, the future, zero times.

Alex Grey 'and I'm tellin all a yall it's a sabotage'

Always been a fan of his work, but didn't know that this painting was Beastie Boys cover for "Ill Communication" A fantastic album which has the song "Sabotage"

Great song which yells at us something like "[tellin all of yall it's a sabotage]"

The painting is but one of the collective consciousness's manifestation of consciousness events of the future within the past. Don't know what that is? You're leading a less than fulfilled life, read Carl Jung or listen to him talk on Youtube, it'll take about 3-30 minutes of your life.

Painting's title; Gaia. Did you notice the Twin Towers & two planes & or the guy looking like G. W. Bush? Notice anything else?

Can't stress the fascination with which I listened to him talk.
You can find a talk here: : http://vimeo.com/51183297
