PROGRAM NOTES:
(Minutes : Seconds into program)
06:48 Ralph Abraham: Explains his bifurcation theory of the unconscious
08:01 Ralph:
"We can speak of the consciousness of animals, the consciousness of plants, the consciousness of Mother Earth."
11:57 Ralph:
"Chaos goes to the basement, and with this gesture created the bifurcation in consciousness, giving us the unconscious, which appears to be gaining ever since."
17:02 Ralph:
"I think we want Saint George and the Dragon getting it on together in a May Day celebration where Dionysian elements are accepted."
18.21 Terence McKenna: "The orgies driven by the psychedelic religion completely frustrated that desire to identify male paternity."
21:21 Terence:
"Basically the choice was between fun [through orgies] and full knowledge of the flow of your genes, and once it was decided that male paternity was an important issue, then the concept of ‘mine’ comes into existence. . . . And this was the whole thing which this orgiastic, psychedelic, boundry-disolving mushroom religion was holding at bay. It was literally a pharmacological intervention to keep that kind of a psychology [patriarchal] from getting going."
23:33 Terence:
"They went from an ecstatic goddess cult of orgy to a drunken reverie of warriors and whores."
30:16 Ralph:
"And in this sense, a restrictive society which narrows the choice of addictions is somehow anti-evolutionary in that it promotes the growth of unconsciousness, insensitivity, is a danger to the biosphere and so on."
31:11 Rupert Sheldrake: Explains his proposal to legalize psychedelics in an ‘age-related manner’.
33:55 Rupert:
"And the heart of all living systems is unconscious habit. However conscious we think we become we don’t become fully conscious of the unconscious embryonic habits that formed us."
40:03 Ralph:
"And so we would have to work at maintenance of consciousness as we work at maintenance of the garden."
46:47 Terence:
"It [coffee] is the only drug sanctioned by industrial capitalism in the form of the coffee break."
