I highly recommend this lecture given at Google, especially if you care about conservation or entheogens.





The psychedelic sacrament scene cut from Avatar

25 01 2010

The script pages for some scenes that didn’t make the final cut of Avatar have been uploaded and include an alien sex scene, an alien drunk scene and other back-story scenes as well as a Na’vi rite-of-passage in which Jake eats a sacred glow-worm then recieves an alien scorpion sting, the combination of which invokes a psychedelic mystical experience: definitely inspired by the ayahuasca DMT/MAOI combo.

Read the script for Jake’s trip here.

Other cut scenes here.

Maestro Juan Flores sings in Legislative Building

9 09 2009

Video description:

Maestro Juan Flores joins Frank Albo on his infamous esoteric tour of the Manitoba Legislative Building, or more appropriately a one of kind replica of King Solomon’s Temple. At the end of tour, Frank asks Juan to sing a song in the centre of the Pool of the Blackstar. When one stands in this point they can hear their voice amplified throughout the building. Maestro Flores was honoured to be able to send a song and its light out to the world from the altar of such a sacred temple.

Very good introductory video to ayahuasca by Australian healer, Dapran:





DMT, Sunken Ruins and the Prohibition.

6 08 2009

In this interview by George Noory, Graham Hancock discusses the most fundamental mysteries concerning humankind’s epic origins and forgotton domains of civiliaztion and consciousness.

The first 20 minutes discussing DMT, shamanic spirits,  elves, UFO’s and the drug-war might be familiar material to those who watch this blog but he also goes into his remarkable research into pre-delugian, pre-historical civilization.

The interview as a Youtube playlist:

Hadronic Mechanics & Entheogens

25 07 2009

This is a 3 1/2 hour presentation given by Ananda Bosman for the 2009 Ayahuasca Conference.  In it he covers his extensive research dealing with hyper-relativistic physics, endo-huasca, the pineal gland, ancient esoteric history, the 128 Soma plants of the Rig Veda, the entheogenic origins of language, time & the I Ching, and much much more.   I found a few falsehoods which are presented as fact in the presentation but I still have to say that I have hardly ever seen such significant aspects of the cosmic-human story woven together and revealed so thoroughly.   My mind is utterly blown after seeing this.   The work Ananda has been doing for the past 20 years is massively profound.  (He also helped design the visuals of the trip scenes in Blueberry aka Renegade!)

I was skeptical while watching the long introduction which sounded like a lot of psuedo-science and meta-physical hyperbole but once he begins using the images and animations during the main body of the talk I was flabergasted and extremely happy that I persited past the first few videos.

[If you like Nassim Haramein's work you will love this presentation.]
