Thank you Rooster, I will go and enjoy it. And I am believing the same as you about origins and interactions. Far too many metaphoric coincidences that are hard to ignore. :)
I think DeLonge is a bit out of his league here—Terence McKenna’s discussion of such matters is much more compelling.
For starters:
—The two drugs are very different. It is like comparing apples to oranges.
—McKenna argued that these drugs have the “memory” of all humans who take them (a variation of Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic resonance).
—Because of the Amazonian native use of Ayahuasca for centuries (in group settings) it gives you visions of powerful animals of the jungle with incredible powers. It also gives you a feeling of “one” with the planet. There are no “aliens” to be found as we normally use the term.
—Psilocybin has no such history and presents itself to modern people as a high tech alien civilization—cold, mechanized, vast, closer to DeLonge’s description.
—We really don’t know what any of this means because our definitions of “reality” “dreams” “visions” are artifacts of our culture and may have very little to do with the way the universe works.
—McKenna’s “best guess” is that these drugs (and DMT) allow humans to tap into “the logos” or the “Akashic record”—some sort of library of everything that ever was or will be. Without context such “knowledge” is meaningless, confusing, crazy. It is most “effective” for primitive shamans who “keep it simple” with efforts to track game, figure out the weather, etc.
“Yes they’re called demons.”
And Angels...
Good comments—that deserve a response.
The aliens want to “save the planet” because they live here—at a minimum have a lot of bases here.
Nuclear war would definitely ruin their day—and bad pollution would not help them a whole lot either.
That makes their motives “selfish” and not based on ideology.
They do not seem to care either way about much of the rest of what we would view as leftist doctrine.
That is how I see it too. Other than hitting the last minute damage control stop button to prevent destruction of earth they really don’t care about much else at all. They may have at one time tried to share common sense in the past, but now we are not worth any further investment.
Following....
Free alien anal probes huh? That should keep the gays happy. They will all be volunteering to be abducted. May be a good way to get rid of them.
Seems if they really cared about lost souls the Leftist agenda would be the thing to warn us about.
Souls aren’t lost even when liberals die. It ties in with reincarnation.
