“Lo and behold, I had what I simply could not deny being an experience of cosmic consciousness, the sense of complete fundamental total unity forever-and-ever with the whole universe. And not only that, but that what this thing was fundamentally-despite every thing and every kind of appearance in ordinary life to the contrary-that the energy behind the world was ecstatic bliss and love.” - Alan Watts

Was addicted to heroin. Also suffered severe depression. Psilocybin mushrooms actually saved my life honestly. 7 years clean. Never had a bad trip.
I've been looking to try shrooms for depression, just very difficult to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need!
I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had. psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity
Hey! Yes very sure of Dr.benshrooms.. a single dose of shrooms saved me from Alcohol addiction. 6 years clean. no cravings. this doesn't sound weird to me in any way shape or form.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Saw people talk about..checked him out on insta and I must say, he's very good at what he does.
Alan has always been relevant on any subject at any time. Back in the 80's and in my 20's I rigged my stereo and wall timer to record his Sunday radio shows while at work and listened to them at home on my headphones to chill and absorb his wisdom. This was another great hour with Alan. ThanKS!
I don’t think anyone elses lectures or podcasts hold my attention as much as Alan’s
Just trying to learn more about who I truly am as a soul, merely existing on the planet
He calms one... and has a wonderful way

"When you receive the message, it's good to hang up the phone" did psychs for about 5 years, then last trip changed my life so much that my mind is in a permanent state of awareness. Never looked back. No desire to go again unless that desire appears. At which then, I will take it as a sign.
Same I used a few times over the course of about 12 months. I spend the last week smoking DMT until it quickly became more than enough experience for this lifetime. As you said perfectly they can be very useful tools but nothing more than that, and if you abuse them you aren't and haven't reached anything, it just shows you there's more going on than as previously thought existed. You can not reach states of peaceful joy with these Psychedelics, they disrupt your inner experience of peace wayyyy too much you know the Psychedelics will ensure tripping for 36 hours straight and today I couldn't think of anything less appealing to my inner experience.i haven't smoked or eaten Psychedelics since 2018 and I'm still good for this lifetime I only need.to think and I can recall those experiences more vividly than what I did yesterday
9:56 I had an experience when I was 17 (1979) which I call an enlightenment moment after a very deep dream. When I woke up, I heard a bird singing as though I had never heard a bird before, and colours were brighter and I thought "everything is exactly where it should be". Thanks for this
Drhenrytrips has amazing psychedelic products I suggest you chech him out..
I experienced one night of being fully conscious while being asleep. Every sound i heart that night was so precise. I was not lucid dreaming that night. I don't know if I should call this experience an enlightenment
Same with ne
Woke up to the sound of music while on vacation from a dream where I was swimming under water with my siamese cat. But the most intriguing part was the sound of beautiful music sounded like a whole orchester, sat up at 3am and listened to that beautiful mysterious music until it stopped. Next day my husband had some sad news, lady cat fell into the pool and died. And I realised it was around that same time I had that dream ❤
I had few mind blowing experiences with Ayahuasca and psilocybin. However, I kept chasing those experiences ever since. I got the message but didn't want to hang up the phone. Totay I see that hanging up the phone is another important lesson to learn.
“I got the message but didn’t hang up the phone” POWERFUL !!!
🙌
This man was and is absolutely a gift to all of us! Thank you for sharing this!!
@@doreekaplan2589 He had a heart problem and alcohol didn't help, but did not cause his death.
Yes indeed
I am so happy that Alan Watts is becoming so popular lately, that his wisdom is being uploaded by multiple podcasts. Hopefully the younger generation are listening too, since they are our next rulers, scientists educators, religious leaders etc. If not, what next !!!
And very scary drug addicted world. It is getting worse, not better, I believe we are all fucked tbh.
I am 32. I find Alan as an absolute inspiration. I'm not sure his depictions of Buddhism are exactly on point. But regardless for one man (Alan) to try and convey many different aspects of Eastern thought, it is incredible to consider what he did do!. So, I say this in his defence: he at least showed the idea that there is more to this world than a God who is external to us. And that Buddhism, dao, and Indian traditions are enlightening. I hope many more people of my generation do find Alan watts and at least take this viewpoint! ❤

Misuse of Any drug is dangerous. But the fact that the research was banned, and is only now resuming, was a great setback. Early results had show that long term smokers and life long alcoholics could be cured within just a few sessions with a trained guide. And later followup studies found that the cure was permanent in the majority of cases. Maybe the corporations that produced those other "products" had something to do with the ban, I don't know. But They had most to lose
I spoke pot for anxiety and have a little most of my life. I don't do things like smoking pot just to escape or get high I do all things to benefit the priorities needed to support positive outcome for all effected. Helping someone your also helping anyone they help or hurt so be careful who you help and never stop helping.
The moments when people laugh tell us so much about the mood at the time. Pretty relaxed actually
when I was a teenager. I tried LSD . Wow wow wow, this was a true enlightenment. I am 65 I cannot be persuaded to try again. I kind of fear prolonged insanity. My experience tells me it is not worth the risk. I had a meditation experience that had a very dark evil presence. It stopped me from meditating for many years. I now realize that the real message is that I needed to except, that part of me and that the good and the evil need each other. The middle way.
That's why I like shrooms. I can ease my way into it.
Good night and God bless
Dog's, swine and oyster's all play an important role for our understanding. Pure cosmic understanding.. doesn't disregard.
What about oysters? I’d like to know more about what you’re saying
I just Love Alan Watts and feel the World is empty without him. Wonderful speaking voice that I listen to every night to fall asleep.
I love to listen to Alan at night before bed. I find his voice incredibly comforting, don't you? Only trouble is, it often is so interesting that I forget I'm supposed to be sleeping 😂
❤
Ive been listening to Alan..your Dad for decades as I was in my late teens in the late 60's . I've never tired of his messages. Thank you for promoting them. ❤❤
Psychedelics are different from other drugs it helps to acknowledge that
Love your dad! Loved his very British voice!
Alan is the person who led me to Satori that happened under the influence of marijuana spontaneously without any purpose of doing it. I love you Alan❤. However, anyone reading my comment its a very dangerous road and one can end up in psych ward if he looses his ground. Be very cautious if you take that road. May the grace shall be upon each and everyone of you going the pathless path.❤
Elaborate?
Take psilocybin and listen to this man before it’s too late.
when he talks about nitrous oxide,I had an old memory pop up of a friend I was doing med grade nitrous oxide I got for my racecar when that whole fast and the furious thing tell me that when he came back from the nos high he seen thuniverse be created before his very eyes, that shit was amazing! now that I look back🤣I'm pretty new to Alan Watts teachings and I'm super impressed on what he's talking about🙏🌠legendary🍻🥸I thought a lot like this in my days of tampering with substances,it was all a learning experience🥸
They don’t want you to take psychadelics because hypothetically 1/100 people who take them will realize the game that’s being played with them as the pawns. They can’t manipulate the cards if you know what they’re doing. Even if only 1/100 it’s still enough to make a change. No matter what cards you were dealt you have the opportunity to play your hand, even if it’s a big bluff. Get the bag, help your brothers, and never forget you’re in a casino.
🙌🙏🙌 Your father, Alan Watts, helps lead many of my wilderness based men's wellness groups. Blessings to him, and you for perpetuating the way. "Methods towards enlightened being are meant to self destruct" 🤗🤗🤗
As which are the same methods to hypnotizing an entire species. Behavioural hoopla do you think you're Mary Poppins? No. I know you're just my thoughts going through a creative limbo there is no "destruction" such directives are for the cowards. Those who need to be led; aimlessly following without ever questioning why? You don't need to say what you're thinking, I can say it for you. You "Think" you're the "Almighty" therefore you find yourself believing everything around you. Forgetting the whole fundamental purpose behind being led, you surrender to control.. Than you find the funny folk clowns of sort honking their noses and squirting water from a flower throwing pies in people's faces forgetting you were the first to face that pie. Madness, you ask? How about insanity. Vs CrAzY wacko it does not matter it's just noise and motions. Creating notions. Ever think to question where the ideology of questioning came from? Was it the leader, or the one who finally saw they were being led somewhere by someone or something. You tell me, better yet. Do not in any means open your mouth to speak as you know nothing of the power of words. Or the Spelling they were cast from. Language? Do you know how to read the language of the Egyptians? Do you know anything of ancient time? I know this, they were weak and fragile so they did what any species would do when discovering itself. They allowed their mind to create creations creations. And so on. Now, here we are on the brink of extinction and you think it's hilarious because yougot to play your part big man funny bone you will find the solutions problem was the question and answers are only ideas. It's all in your head beyond that you are just Happening. You'll pluck flowers all day long until the day your flower is plucked. So do my self a favor and leave the Man's mind alone! You do not have it figured out, you only fooled yourself, cried, and built from those tears. It's utter nonsense and I personally am beyond fed up with witnessing the monopolized reality nobody told you to make the game real! Nobody! You told yourself because you realized all their is, is time. Beyond that; in the "End" you're left facing Only yourself! Hence fourth goes all of this caveman speech congratulations you discovered fire now quit forcing the others to believe you created it! 🎉
You tricked yourself into believing in something other than yourself. I will not follow any crowd yet I will not thwart myself toward leadership; you either get along or you get war. Parabellum. "If you want peace, prepare for war" war is a mad man's idea. A weak man. "Entities" seriously? Aliens? Leaders? God's? This should've never been sought after by anyone or any persons. Quit trying to find a God!!! Also; do not dare say you are God or "a God" agog... Adonai Apollo Osiris it means Nothing! "Sun of Man" giant gas ball got you spooked I seriously be you to stop inhaling its fumes before you spontaneously combust. Or have an aneurysm. Put down the phone and JUST BE!!! Otherwise I strongly suggest you listen to the disgusting music "war pigs" from which you will be led to being discovered of leaderships purpose. Everyone sure does love that stupid game.... Monopoly. Oh look!! in your wallet!!! You just lost the game. Clown 🤡

I smoke marijuana but I use it to create beauty. Out of what usually is looked at as a negative i create positivity by passing down ancient traditions of my culture thus inspiring others.
What's that like graffiti or something?
I wouldn't be worried about justifying your marijuana usage, it's a well-known fact that Alan Watts was a chain-smoker and a really bad alcoholic which is probably what led to his early death before the age of 60
@@frogger-5meo152 chain smoker?heaven forbid,,alcoholic?oh dear how terrible,,,your version of him is mean spirited,you didn't meet or know him,what do you know?nothing
I smoke pot everyday all day. Most of my life. Wasn't legal for most of it. When I was 18 or 19 I took a military azvab and scored in the 98th percentile outta a possible 99. I was hung over and most likely a little bit stoned. I was told I could pick whatever job I wanted in the navy. But once I got tested I was dishonorably discharged. I am smarter than most but I believe that the not so smart ones keep the smart down this way..
Just take notice of grower. His energy is important when taking care of the Erbs, as a child is provoked by their parents thay will be good or bad towards others🪶
Addiction is inevitable during our times right now...were all seeking an escape if we don't find the escape from enlightment.
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, this is purely my opinion based on reading/listening to Alan's works/words. I didn't know him personally, never met him, but I sure would have loved to. I believe that Alan did live his teachings and KNEW, absolutely without a doubt who/what exactly "he" was from the pinnacle of spiritual perceptions or as Tao. He was Tao, lived Tao, and was absolutely true to himself, yet never forgetting he was human or acting as if he wasn't human. And yes, he succumbed to the human desires/wants/needs/ human fallibility- yet I don't see that it was a mistake, rather he lived absolutely true to human nature...to his truest nature/Tao. He didn't live a lie, a pseudo "clean" life to "try" and be something he wasn't. He lived an unapologetic life as he was. He lived experiences, I believe his goal in life was to live as many true/real/authentic experiences he could, regardless of the risk, (no fear of death) and share those experience/insights with others. He was all in on what he chose to experience, in for a dime then in for a dollar..no regrets. I know some say he was a drunk, and perhaps he was...so what? He forgot more insights and wisdom than many people will have in 3 lifetimes! I believe he simply enjoyed the taste & feeling of drinking, and I believe that it fueled his creativity, his insights. I respect Alan beyond words for living true to himself, for being a true human being. His works have helped me immensely and I am forever grateful for him sharing them. And thank you Mark for continuing his works.
Completely truth, isn't to be about the things that you do it's about what you get from that experience.
I read somewhere that he fully acknowledged his drinking and quipped “but it is all okay because I drink in an enlightened way”. Seems to align with your thoughts.
Yes. He is a truly great human being who is expressing the wisdom and knowledge he has learned and helping others who also are in need of access to these ideas, he speaks straight to parts of my being that know Truth and Wisdom inherently in my nature. Alan never claimed to be a Saint, nor a Sinner. Because both Saint and Sinner are nothing at all to with our Reality.
We are wired to have these experiences. So infinitly interesting. .the molecules of psychedelics mimic our own and fit in the receptor...thats some divine design. Maybe so that we can expand our conciousness quicker. Sacred tools that must be respected.
Brain Child...nice to see a fellow sapiophille. Beautiful stuff.
Thank you, Mark, for sharing these great talks by your father. This still sounds so relevant and contemporary that it amazes me this was recorded 2 years before I was born!! I think Alan Watts was, and still is, one of the most astute and coherent speakers on the subject of higher consciousness, religion, and the various spiritual and psychotropic/chemical means for attaining these states..and much more. ✌❤🔥
Here, here!
I concur wholeheartedly!
What a brilliant mind!
I want to extend a thankyou for not adding distracting music.
Such a powerful book by RAM Dass deserves a channel
Alan watts audios should be mandatory from age 16
That would be the quickest way to destroy his message lol
EXCEPTIONAL THANK YOU! 👍🎯🙏
Good podcast... I feel like the effect of drugs is a matter of your intentions . Hence turn on or turn of your head...when you feel that your intentions aren't met just hang up!!!
Like DJ Squall's in Legit, just "leave the room" 😂😉
At the same time, Allen Watts was giving this lecture, in Lowery Air Force Base , I too was giving a lecture on LSD. My lecture started as thus. You are the generation of today, you must decide is LSD, good , or bad, (early 1966)
It's definitely good ☺️✨🕊️
His suggestion of the scientific exploration of psychedelics is basically what's happening now in the USA. It was conducted in unethical exploration with the CIA previously but the majority of the documentation has gone missing. They have been used for 10's of thousands of years by spiritual explorers and priests with sporadic occult documentation.
What a beautiful mind! 💖
All in watts And mark is to mark his father's legacy in the Era that the world needed to hear him. Your father was/is one of the greatest of all minds of recent time a true davinchi divine chi❤

I've used a wide variety of psychedelics over the past 20 years and i agree with a few points made here.. Lsd mushrooms & peyote are more visually esthetic rather than spiritual... DMT on the other hand is the most spiritual thing I've ever experienced. Also, once you got the message its best to hang up the phone.. You dont need to keep using psychedelics once youve reached a certain point
So what's the message?
The message can't be conveyed in words, only in pure experience and understanding
Excellent talk on psychedelics. I had a profound experience on lsd like Watts speaks of and had a clear message that it was great I had found this bliss-realm, yet I had cheated to get there and I should go about returning to it in a more natural way. This lead me to take up meditation and sent me on a path of broad spiritual study. I agree full heartedly with AW point of view on this matter.
I had a profound experience way back in 1971. I was coming down from the peak of an LSD trip. And these three words, the title of an Alan Watts' book, "This Is It" unexpectedly traipsed through my head three or four times. That was all it took to change me forever. When you write, "yet I had cheated," I've listened to Alan Watts' lectures where he'd say that in the West, we have this attitude that we have to work hard to achieve something worthwhile, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, boy!" (which as he said is an impossibility if you think of it). If a Zen master asks his student, "What is the sound of one-hand clapping?" and all of a sudden the monk gains enlightenment, that didn't take much effort. So don't sell yourself short if you gained a profound insight to quickly.
^ what he said. If you truly listen to Alan in his entirety, “cheating” is a concept instilled by our society, it’s simply one of many paths. It’s temporary, and relatively simple, but that doesn’t make it any less significant of an experience. It’s a helpful comforting glimpse at eternity.
This same thing happened to me I noticed the movies I was watching seemed to focus on polarity good vs bad or light vs dark. Life vs death. Then we watched fantasia with the 5th symphony scene and I knew I wasn’t just seeing things that’s there something Disney knows that we don’t. I googled black vs white light vs dark Alan watts videos popped up I listened and it just went off like a light bulb connection started getting made and everything all of the sudden made sense all I could do is laugh everything I ever struggled with or couldn’t make sense of came to light and I had closure because I know what this all is now and I’ve never felt so happy and loving in my 31 yrs of life. I don’t ask why anymore
@@Unfamous_Buddha I think the issue the OP was possibly referring to is the “cheating” only bringing transient states of heightened being, whereas sustained methods, such as meditation, elevate the being as a whole. It’s like there’s a bunch of garbage between us and infinity. Psychoactives give us a boost to see over the garbage, but when we are no longer high, we are back where we started. Albeit now knowing that infinity exists, which is incredibly valuable. These trips may also clear some of the garbage, but I’ve yet to have one permanently get me “there” (ofc we know the concept of it being “there” will make it forever out of reach). The message for me has been to take the lesson and then put in the work
@@Shmyrk- I think once "IT" is seen or experienced, nothing else is needed. One could try to maintain a permanent here-and-now mindset (Samadhi). If that were the goal, one would be better off in a monastery where thoughts of the past and future, self-and-other (i.e., survival) wouldn't matter.
Especially the last 20 minutes or so - some of the very best words I've ever heard. If only the squares would listen
What a wonderful talk to stumble upon…knew the name but hadn’t explored the work of your father before. His insights seem so prescient to today’s re-emerging discussions on the spiritual and healing qualities of psychedelics, not to mention the meeting of theoretical high physics and consciousness. Thank you for sharing! 🙏😍🙏
Thank you very much even listening is calming reassuring none threatening amusing a brilliant guide and very nice bloke i reckon
Thank you so much for sharing your father's incredible material of the truth. Blessings to you all 🙏🏽
Thank you for listening and writing about it. I've been dealing with this for a long time. Thought I was crazy. Still learning 😊
Drhenrytrips has amazing psychedelic products I suggest you chech him out..
I can't thank you enough for publishing these important lectures.
People forcing their third eye open before they are ready will pay the price dearly. If you are up for it, it could be good for a first experience. You will know what is it that you are looking for, and why is it that the harder you try to find it the further you get from it. 🙏
Man, isn't this truly the voice of common sense!
Alan Watts is the voice from the deepest inside of our being ❤
I bought the 1970 playboy where they interviewed Watts, Ram Dass, and a few others. Was an interesting discussion; especially for the time it was done and where we are now.
Yes,I bought Playboy for the literary content,lol
I have the one where Alan talks to Author C Clark. Amazing conversation. Funny the old playboy magazines have like 5 pics of girls and 99 percent of articles. Most people don’t realize that.
Rammed Ass , get's me every time.
Alan was definitely a bringer of wisdom like Prometheus with such an erudite and accessible way of awakening the western mind to the great realisations of the Eastern sages and ancient mystics of India which were very obscure to our way of thinking.A true AVATAR who deserves so much more recognition so thank you for furthering access to Alan's brilliant talks.

Acid weekly for 20yr. Done DMT first time 2 weeks ago on my 40th. I'm no longer an atheist. Enlightenment and back in 15 mins
Regarding psychedelics, specifically mushrooms, there are mostly agreed upon rules or concepts you upon which you don’t encroach. I’ve broken nearly every one in my experimentation with them this year, which I believe gave me something like a satori awakening. I followed starting small and listening and basically nothing else, it’s an extremely personal endeavor but that doesn’t mean you can be careless, far from it
Never took a dose that caused hallucinations or physical impairment
@@fungdark8270 I know you posted this 10 months ago but could you elaborate more on your experience?
This is an amazing lecture. I appreciate it more every time I hear it.
Thank you❤
You are awesome! Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you.
Consumption is key in using medicines or drugs.
I would love to give a second opinion on some of these studies in a safe environment for the benefit of healing certain areas
The more I listen to Alan Watts, he would be on point every once in awhile but then the majority of the time his speeches would be off, it made me wonder, was Alan Watts an alcoholic, because the more I listen to him or watch videos even more so, I would definitely get the feeling that he was an alcoholic. I Started to kind of feel weird listen to a man confidently talk about his knowledge of the Tao while he was simultaneously an alcoholic and chain-smoker, didn't really make sense. But every once in awhile I will say Alan Watts would give an amazing speech and would be really on point and very insightful. I Myself working at a psychedelic assisted treatment facility can definitely see how anyone with serious addictions that they find comfort in could dislike or fear those psychedelic medicines... Also saying that the LSD was not as good as in the Laboratories or something I think it's kind of a weak way to justify someone's disfavor with psychedelics. There are many many DEA reports from back then showing the pureness of the LSD-25 that was going around in the mid-sixties. But anyway, I have nothing but love and respect for the beautiful Alan Watts.

Hey Mark, it’s awesome to hear your voice, man! I wondered if Alan had any children. Do you ever host yoga retreats or anything like that? My future wife and I might be into attending something like that, and to meet you. Cheers much love
That’s a really beautiful picture.
Alan Watts is like a wind dag let loose in my mind...
It's amazing how wise this man was and also struggled with his own issues with alcohol.
One way to understand is to simply put your feet in his shoes. A mind that knows cosmic realization will struggle due to empathy. "Alcohol" will suppress.

Interesting take on panaceas.
I would not recommend psychedelics on young non traumatized students ;because there's hardly enough to process in life experiences. Blessed Grandmother ayahuasca saved my sanity for a few years💜 I used the tools she reminded me we all have. CPTSD does well Microdosing mushrooms every few months. TBH I've dropped Einstein recreationally, however it was LSD that gave me a giant breakthrough for CPTSD. 20 years actively fixing a TBI inflicted by hatred With psychedelic perception allowed me to Forgive . Consuming nature to facilitate my best outcome is my personal responsibility. Though Illegally consuming natural therapeutics adds to the complexity. Nature is our God Given Birthrights & Temperance on nature being banned , not so easy 💜
As said where tru love is no laws required
Experience, what is it worth if anything? My experience with alcoholism and Allen Watts... Alcoholic - I am one or am told it is good to admit so. After several therapy and relapses I had an experience(s) that brought a connection\acceptance of 'all things.' Since then I have been frustrated by trying to assist others (friends - anyone) in gaining separation from alcohol. I am not sure why it happened or how it happened for me and yet want to help others. There must be a 'Beautiful Kiss of Reunion' from an unseen lover. Like a mountain with clouds of mystery, a soothing aroma fills my nose, instinctively I breathed deeply wanting more... What was that smell? Peace. It was a gift to me that is not available to everyone. Some are kissed and remain 'here' while oths are kissed and passon. I would like to think Allen many small kisses (lucky guy) and then the welcome home Kiss.
You should be a writer...well said
Who has the authority to judge someone else's mystical experience I still agree with LEARY that the risks are far outweighed by the rewards if it wasn't for the counterculture of the 60's and the mass imbibing of entheogenic chemicals All experience is an electro chemical function of the brain Just as Alan's mystical experience connected him to everything in the universe it is not limited to those who have a great understanding of the so called religous experiences described in all of the esoteric doctrines of every religion and philosophy We are all one
A fish is a good analogy. When you see a fish out of water, you know it's dead or is about to die. We learn that a fish can only be a fish when it's part of a water source. Otherwise, it's just a bad smell. So the fish has 2 options. Live in the water or die outside the water. The fish needs the ocean to live. The ocean needs the fish to live. But of course, there is no "Ocean." The ocean is 1 word that describes millions of life forms competing for survival. This expresses itself as, the fish needs to survive until Wednesday next week, at which point, it will be eaten by a Shark. As the shark excretes the remains of the fish, the local algae can feed on the waste etc etc. Each organism is playing its part, and the weakness of one will determine the strength of another based on its symbiotic relationship with the ecosystem as a whole. When there are too many deer, the ecosystem must ensure it's predators can reduce its numbers. So the cat becomes a bit sharper, and the gazelle becomes a little indifferent to the presence of the Cat versus eating the juicy grass. Deer numbers are reduced, and the ecosystem falls back into balance. Only humans can form these type of thoughts, morals, ethics etc etc. From a biological point of view, this is the fat around the gazelles waste. Humans engage in non survival behaviour as a way of burning energy and staying mentally astute. If the gazelle keeps getting fatter, it can't run from the Lion. Once a human has met its survival needs, it will need things to do and things to think about because if it just sits round in these trees it's going to get eaten. Imagine asking a fish, "do you think you are linked to your ecosystem (the ocean)?" As usual Alan so on point. The Government using him to cover the truth. Let's get someone who hasn't taken mescaline to give a talk about mescaline because the truth emanating from the actual experience doesn't serve our purpose, so let's bring in the FBI as we simply can't have the slaves thinking for themselves.
