PROGRAM NOTES:

[The following quotations are by Nick Sand.]

“This process of sharing through language our inherited ability to manipulate first stone tools, then concepts and symbols through language and printing, and then moving into the networking of electronic and virtually instantaneous world wide communication, are three quantum leaps of exponential increase in consciousness.”

“The continuity of these constructs through which we perceive the world is what we call tradition.”

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotations below are by Robert Anton Wilson.]

“Every evaluation is an evaluation of the organism as a whole, because the nervous system interlocks with the immunological system, and the endocrine system, and the neuro-muscular system and so on. So every evaluation you make is an evaluation of your whole body, and separating it into mind and body is a fictitious dichotomy. It’s a synergistic process.”

“What the front brain knows does not control you at all. It just thinks it does.”

“The idea of reality as a singular noun doesn’t make any sense to me at all any more.”

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotations below are by Dr. Timothy Leary.]

“When I say think for yourself, I don’t mean think selfishly for yourself. I mean think independently.”

“If you’re going to think for yourself, you gotta learn to think clearly.”

“The person who thinks for herself or himself has to have a sense of humility, and of modesty, and of relativity because you have to realize that I’m thinking for myself, but hopefully you are too, and you’re bound to come out with something a little different from me. So there has to be an ability to listen, compassion, plus the modesty. No matter how smart we are there’s a lot we aren’t going to be able to figure out tonight.”

PROGRAM NOTES:

[NOTE: All quotations below are by Terence McKenna.]

“I think disease is (and I don’t want to be held to this entirely, but) largely more linguistic than people think.”

“The story you tell yourself is largely the story you’re living.”

“Nothing is unannounced. This is a psychedelic truth, I think, of some power. And it relates to disease, and it relates to shamanism. Nothing is unannounced. If you’re paying attention, stuff comes down the pike, first the little waves, then the medium-sized wave, and then the tsunami. But you have to be really not paying attention to be fully astonished by something unexpected.”

“What it is that’s coming at you, you can’t always say. But THAT something is coming at you is usually pretty clear, pretty clear.”
