Terence McKenna quote

..."I don’t think you could discover consciousness if you didn’t perturb it, because as Marshall McLuhan said, 'whoever discovered water, it certainly wasn’t a fish'. Well, we are fish swimming in consciousness; and yet we know it’s there. Well, the reason we know it’s there is because if you perturb it, then you see it; and you perturb it by perturbing the engine which generates it, which is the mind/brain system resting behind your eyebrows. If you swap out the ordinary chemicals that are running that system in an invisible fashion, then you see: it’s like dropping ink into a bowl of clear water – suddenly the convection currents operating in the clear water become visible, because you see the particles of ink tracing out the previously invisible dynamics of the standing water. The mind is precisely like that, and the psychedelic is like a dye-marker being dropped into this aqueous system. And then you say, 'Oh, I see – it works like this… and like this'." ~Terence McKenna, The Importance of Psychedelics...

NSFW music videos

To continue on with the NSFW theme in music videos (see the post on  Justin Timberlake's video).  Check out "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke (NSFW warning unless of course you work somewhere where naked ladies are safe for work):


What actually brought me to this video was in fact this rather cool parody of it by Mod Carousel, a Seattle based boylesque troupe...

...“The real message of psychedelics, I think, is to reclaim experience and to trust yourself. Your perceptions are primary. Your feelings are correct. Everything must constellate out and make sense and parse with what you know. If you don’t start from that assumption then you are off center to begin with. And the psychedelics will dissolve the cultural programming that has potentially made you a mark and restore your authenticity.” ~Terence McKenna...
