Thee Black Box which cures drug addiction without withdrawal symptoms in 10 days relies on frequency and pulsation. Small electrodes are attached above thee Mastoid nerve centres behind thee ears. A tiny electrical charge passes through thee brain sub-liminally releasing Endorphine, thee body's own natural "heroin/morphine", which drenches thee body, keeping it high. Thee "JUNK" drug is redundant, passes from thee body. Thee Endorphine prevents any withdrawal symptoms as it regulates thee metabolism and hormones. Once thee junk has gone, thee natural Endorphine goes too, not creating any withdrawel, bar slight sickness for a couple of days, an occasional, mild headache. So, you switch from INTRODUCED unnatural junk, to internally produced natural junk, this latter being no problem to the body at all. The Doctor who discovered this travelled through Tibet, thee Far East. Thee Black Box can be tuned to other Frequencies and Pulses to cure other illnesses and metabolic imbalances, e.g. Migraine, Periods, Asthma. In Tibet, Singing Bowls, Singing Bells, Thigh Bone Trumpets, Drums are used in, to westerners, non-logical combinations to cure Migraines, Mental Illness, and other metabolic imbalances. Thee language used is different. Thee heads of Demons are split asunder, Demons are exorcised from those possessed (could describe a junky in cold-turkey). In other ethnic cultures, trance states, visionary states are achieved by Rhythms and Frequencies. In New Guinea large Sacred Flutes vibrate thee air against itself causing mental revelatory states and precognition. In Morocco, hee Joujouka players use high Frequency pipes and drums to reach ecstatic states and conjour up Pan and effect Magick. In thee Mayan civilisation, there were strange unexplained "oil-lamps" which for a long time were merely trinkets in Museums, misunderstood objects. Then one day a young archaeologist happened to idly blow through one, hit a pure, very high pulsating note that sent him on a "trip". Throughout thee world, in all cultures therefore, primitive and technological, man has instinctively known that Frequency and Pulse coumbined had amazing effects on mind and body. Until recently, there was no language to adequately describe this interrelationship, and even now, Research is only slowly collating precise data on which frequency/pulse does what. Everyone has observed Tribal warriors whipping themselves into a trance for war, to feel no pain (that is of course Endorphine) or for "Magick", to have visions, see Demons, etc. (that is its visionary, hallucinogenic capacity). Yet two and two were never fully put together. A Bill Haley concert would end in frenzied vandalism, Bill Haley thinking it was because his music was so fantastically good and exciting AS MUSIC. In fact it was a coumbination of mass hysteria, as in Tribal dancing, and an actual drug-induced, metabolic explosion, totally unconscious and uncontrolled, triggered by thee inherent rhythms and Frequencies of sound. Because he was unaware of thee triggers he was dabbling with, thee very results were unpredictable, coumfused and uncontrolled. Funny enough, those Right-Wing journalists who condemned this "jungle music" were far closer to thee truth than their tiny minds could ever have envisaged. So music does PHYSICALLY reconstruct, ENGINEER, thee brain, its hormones, thee body, its hormones; its entire metabolic regulator system is tuned. There is a great deal of pressure upon thee inventors of thee Black Box to cease their research; or hand it over to thee Governments of USA and Britain. There is incredible pressure from thee huge drug corporations to prevent its widespread publicity and application too. Obviously they have a vested interest in making millions from drug-dependent human beings whilst simultaneously suppressing their visionary capabilities. Thee old story Burroughs got so right. This also explains thee kidnap of Rock music in thee Sixties by thee Governments and Media, aided by corporations and coumglomerates to defuse its radical abilities to restate thee tribal unification and ecstasy of primitive ritual music. Drugs suppress, commercial "easy listening" music suppresses, they quite literally addict and destroy thee potency of each metabolism they affect. It is a war, no two ways about it, and only now do we have thee information and technology needed to fight our own guerilla war back. One has to begin to construct one's music to short-circuit thee implants we've been conditioned into with commercial music. One has to avoid and reject thee drugs of control we've been conditioned to rely on in moments of defeat and self-hate. We need to discover and research, as scientifically as possible, methods to reach drug states that are useful without thee use of drugs. Sound, Frequency, Dreamachines are thee keys to that. Boy guerilla in a police station, questioned, under threat, no worries about blackmail through needing a fix, no cold turkey. He can use trained voice pitch to flip out his custodians, send them blind, make them vomit and walk out a free man stamping his feet in coded rhythm of control paranoia. Information suppressed by authorities and monopolised by big business is usually dangerous to their supremacy and useful to us, making them both impotent and redundant. When power is dispensable it is no longer power, it is pathetic posturing. Burroughs and Gysin chanced upon cut-ups, they had thee vision to see thee IMPLICATIONS. And discovering thee code of true implications is thee mark of real genius, really radical thought. Gysin hallucinated constructively whilst travelling on a bus through France. Thee sunlight flickering through regularly spaced trees on his closed eyelids pulsing at slightly different phased intervals being thee key, coumbined with a particular frequency. He understood thee IMPLICATIONS, and with Ian Sommerville built thee DREAMACHINE, probably thee most important and thee most neglected anti- control, anti-drug device ever invented by mankind. Permanent visions and perceptual revelations for an occasionally replenished light-bulb. With T.G. we openly declared our primary interest was METABOLIC music, and thee application of cut-up techniques with tape and sound to non-entertainment motivated music directed at deconditioning social restraints on thought and body. In PSYCHIC TV we intend to apply our research and new information to building an even more precise and useful Individual structure that consciously takes into account thee real effects of Frequency and Pulse butter propagandises them in a very deceptive and subliminal way. A distorted mirror reflecting muzak back on itself. An innocuous parody of style, tactic and structure that in fact contains, in code, thee seeds of its own destruction, and hopefully, thee structure that nurtures it. To appear deflowered yet to be totally potent. REFERENCES Thee language used in mysticism, quite rightly has been debunked. It has becoum a crutch of not-understanding that allows dogma to flourish. Our enemy must always use dogma. To ask "WHY?", to "NEVER ACCEPT" are crucial. Thee most crucial and stimulating of human capacities. However, one can recognize an intuitive grasp of thee real function of sound when, for example, Paramhansa Yogananda says: "I understand the explosive vibratory power in human speech could be wisely directed to free one's life from difficulties and thus operate without scar or rebuke." "Any word spoken with clear realization and deep concentration has a materialising value. Loud or silent repetition of words has been found effective in psychotherapy. The secret lies in the stepping-up of the mind's vibratory rate." PTV suggested that musick is like teeth. You keep probing around until you find holes and then you fill them in until you have a coumplete set. Industrial Music was a term coined by Monte Cazazza for our early research. We openly declared we should eventually like to invent an anti-muzak that, instead of cushioning thee sounds of a factory environment, made use of those very sounds to create rhythmic patterns and structures that incorporated thee liberating effects of music by unexpected means. This approach is diametrically opposed to thee position of official MUZAK, as supplied by thee MUZAK CORPORATION of AMERICA. Their intention is to disguise stress, to control and direct human activity to generate maximum productivity and minimum discontent in order to give large corporations and industrial coumplexes thee highest possible profit with thee least responsibility. At this point E quote direct from a book published by thee MUZAK CORPORATION for its employees only and which E was able to read sections of by nefarious means: Upon entering thee Headquarters of Muzak Corp., there is a marble tablet set into thee wall which reads 'MUZAK-A CONCEPT IN HUMAN ENGINEERING.' "One problem we face today is noise. We are going to have to protect people against noise pollution." Dr. Bill Wokoun-Director of Human Engineering. "Even banks have a noise problem, a sonic overload of chairs scraping/coughing/machines/high heels on vinyl/talking. It is becoming very evident that you have got to protect people who are working. They will have to wear ear-plugs or ear-muffs. But people don't LIKE to do this because it makes them feel violated. So we're experimenting with a way of making it more COMFORTABLE to wear headsets (be violated! - Ed.) by piping in muzak." Dr. B. Wokoun. Muzak is a PROGRAMMED ENVIRONMENT. The raw material of muzak is music. Muzak serves 43 of the top 50 largest Industrial companies. In ice-bound radar stations, muzak stimulates the men who man the DEW-Line, the Distant Early Warning Cordon, to warn of nuclear attack. Over 80 million people a day hear muzak. Muzak isn't music to LISTEN to, it is music to HEAR. Muzak is functional music. There are three main Muzak programmes, for Heavy Industry, Light Industry and the Basic, or Office programme. In each of these 15 minutes of music, or "sound- inmotion" as we call it, is followed by 15 minutes of silence. "The ironical thing is, we have no trouble in TOTALITARIAN countries. Mood control and crowd control is part of the work of the HUMAN FACTORS DIVISION. "The IRREDUCIBLE MINORITY are people who don't want or like muzak. A muzak transmission studio is a dream of 1984 automation." (>From the Muzak Corp. Bulletin G.B.) "If muzak makes people happy and contented in their environment, like air-conditioning and a colour scheme, how can it NOT be good?" "MUZAK - SPECIALISTS IN THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND APPLICATIONS OF MUSIC." Muzak is based on the theory of the ASCENDING CURVE. The initial observation was that production is inclined to slump in mid- morning and afternoon. Wyatt and Langon established 4 work-curves from utter fatigue to a subtler decline that occurs when the work is distasteful and the operative is severely bored. Dan O'Neill decided this monotony and its effects would be relieved by FUNCTIONAL MUSIC, i.e., boring work is made less boring by boring music (Muzak quote). Some titles of Muzak Corp. Reports and Research documents: Effects of Muzak on Industrial Efficiency. Effects of Muzak on Office Personnel. Application of Functional Music to Worker Efficiency. The "Hawthorne Effect" is "A change in employee productivity caused by an awareness that reactions to environmental changes are being observed." Research findings on the physiological and psychological effects of music and muzak: It increases the metabolism. Speeds up breathing, typing, writing, driving. Increases (or sometimes decreases) muscular energy. Reduces suggestability, (not proven at all, recent use of coded messages in muzak to prevent theft in supermarkets suggest the opposite and that Muzak Corp are lying) delays fatigue, facilitates attention, and produces marked, if rather variable effects on blood pressure and pulse. My note: People often put on records whilst trying to seduce someone for sex, this is an unconscious use of muzak effects and admission of thee physical controls of music. Addiction to playing music is a commonplace example of instintive use of functional music. By 1956 Dan O'Neill finally achieved workable "Muzak Programming and Stimulus Charts". Patterns with upwards scoops of sonic stimulus which exactly compensate for those dark quarter-hours when employee's residual energy is lowest. Music should embody a constant progression of BRIGHTNESS. This is done by analysing the separate segments into: Tempo, Rhythm, Instrumentation, and Tonal Mass. The reason you always get 15 minutes of muzak followed by 15 minutes of silence is because the maximum you should play in any working area is 1/2 the time the employee is there. That way the employee is unaware of being physically and mentally manipulated. Two big variables in music are Melody and Rhythm. Muzak are now hypothesising from observations made of hospital patients that htese may be related to the electrical activity of the nervous system. So that rhythmic music may stimulate the sympathetic system and melodic music may stimulate the para-sympathetic system e.g., Cardiac cases seem to respond better to melodic music. Peptic ulcer patients seem to respond better to rhythmic music. Muzak Corp. are researching this theory to achieve: "A total programme. We are not so much interested in what music we use as with the sequence that will achieve results." MUZAK IS HEARD RATHER THAN LISTENED TO. Although you are not necessarily conscious of it, it will still AFFECT you. This process is called COMPLETE EAR APPEAL. In the event of failure of our Basic Programme we do not panic. Muzak has an automatic sensing unit which will trigger a standby M4R Machine into operation after 4 minutes of Basic Programme failure (i.e. no audio). The sensing unit will automatically turn on the button number 3 M4R Machine which is taped in a pre-set condition. In the advent of nuclear war, Muzak have our own power generators to ensure no failure of the Basic Programme to those facilities still functioning and able to recieve our transmissions. "We were in a slaughterhouse recently. Apparently they were having problems. The animals' blood would clot. They say the blood flows freely now. The muzak relaxes them as they die." Muzak is not on pre-packaged cassettes and tapes. The only records of muzak are NOT on sale to the public, they are for internal research only. Muzak is transmitted by telephone cable and radio. In that way a monopoly can be ensured and complete adherence to the selected programme maintained. Bear in mind therefore that the innocuous music heard in many elevators, and supermarkets, offices and fast food chains is not true MUZAK. It is but a pale, unscientific reflection of thee potent human engineering material. There is no doubt that thee body metabolism functions primarily via a combination of electrical frequency, pulse rates, biochemical hormones and rhythms. Thee brain, a vaguely understood mystery, is dependant on input. There is no doubt that thee conglomerate forces that seek to maintain control over us all FOR ITS OWN SAKE, and to preserve their own vacuous position, re far more aware of these aspects than they admit. There is no doubt that muzak, drugs, suppressants of metabolic stimulation are used as weapons to ensure stability of an oppressive status quo. Each breakthrough is kidnapped from thee youth/radical culture and is emasculated, mutated and rendered impotent. Only then is it returned to us packaged and harmless to them, as commercial music, token rebellion and obvious yet useless anti-social behaviour that not only ensures thee continued existence of their omnipotence butter also generates increased incoum for their coumfort, security and future research into control. Music now must be aware of thee subtleties of its effects, its structure must take into account thee metabolic and neurological effects and power of music and harness them for its own, deconditioning, anarchic ends. Thee empty carrot of success and respect must be seen for thee transparent confidence trick that it is, drugs of addiction must be bypassed, thee REAL WAR must begin. Thee decoding is possible, our own code becoums more sophisticated and effective. Everything E say is discussion, nothing is ever finished. ________________________________________________________________________________ 4- Metathought by coyote 76 Reality is the representation of the world that the mind creates. To some, this indicates that anything that is created in their minds is reality. There are two points to clarify. First, this does not mean that anything that one thinks is actually 're ality'. If one believes that they can levitate off of their chair and get a beer, in some sense, as long as they believe it, they are doing it. The problem here is that the brain is also receiving information that the body is stationary on the chair, he ld down by physical forces. A mind that ignores such pertinent information is a non-thinking mind. This is the ignoring of facts in the world, the avoidance of information. However, there is soumthing to be said for thee processing ov contradictory fac ts and arriving at a unique conclusion. One person's reality is not necessarily another person's reality, but there must be soumthing of a common ground for the two. If you look at an Individual functioning within thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth versus the pious son of a Fundamentalist Protestent preacher from Arkansas, these two will have vastly different belief systems (at least E assume so!) In this sense, the presentation of scenes like a person working on a sigil paper, or the litany of a 'man of god' will create vividly different impress ions within the two. If we examine many other things in the world, such as what time of the day it is, or what country Boston, Massachusetts is in should produce similar if not identical results. This analogy shows that we can break down reality into roughly two areas. The first is the 'facts' of the world, those bits of information which are essentially 'stable' or 'obvious', such as the approximation of one's age in years, or the make, model, and year of an automobile. While there are ways to falsify such information (such as scratching off a serial number or giving a false birthdate), let's assume that the probability of that occurring is infinitesmally small. The second reality is the (su bjective) perceived reality that we create in our minds. This reality usually involves those facts from the world which may or may not be true. The little 'dating games' that all of us played in high school are illustrative, or games of strategy such as poker, where one tries to plant a contrary view of reality in an opponent's mind. More often than not, these are based on emotion, allegiance, or some other modality where information presented can break down at any time u! nder a canonical, 'acid' test. The obvious problem here is how can our minds break up the difference between the facts and the old wives tales. Metathought has the potential of accessing and breaking up the patterns of thought, analyzing them, and arriving at a conclusion or a small, stable set of conclusions. This may seem far too analytick for many people; they do not want the whole sigil (ma gickal) process 'demystified'. However, every effective magickian will, at the end of a ritual or sigil, ask if it succeeded. The evaluation of success is an analytickal process. One might as well develop her 'analytick chops' if she wants to get the m ost out of her sigils. Metathought literally means reasoning about thought, or thinking about thinking. It is necessarily both a circular and recursive process, but not a redundant one. It is generally the heart of any pure philosophic theory, be it Kant or Hume or Berkley. The reason that this is important to my theories is that the heart of them involve neuromancy, or the study of the mind-brain interaction. I'm interested in the way the mind/brain relates to the world, and how those things in the real world affect it. A modern theory of magick that I embrace is a program of action on any level that checks the interactions of the mind as an input/output unit, and once those are established, how to change what's inside that black box. Once we begin to understand those i nteractions, then we can program, reprogram, metaprogram in a less haphazard, sloppy way. In this way, I already have more power than most people in controlling my own personal destiny. Magick One aspect ov magick is simply the recognition and instantiation of those powers which are internal and non-intuitive to each Individual. While some of us have powers which are different from others, and some of us inherently have an easier time underst anding our abilities, there are others who prefer to ignore what is going on around them, not to look at the the world in an ordered way. Part of this can be labelled under intuitive magick; how one goes about realizing goals of the will through what see m to be quite ordinary processes to themselves. For instance, the American psyche has always sort of jabbed at the thought of meditation, as if it were just a hippie thing that is used as a poor excuse for escape. However, we know that meditation is a v ery personal, intuitive method of self-examination and a viable method/ritual that we all understand and can use to obtain some will-goal! There are also powers which are not necessarily inherently obvious to each individual which require a lot of effort, will, dedication, and time to evolve. People who we call 'shamans' are possibly the best examples of this. They have some sort of indef inable powers that set them apart from us, but still are part of the human psyche, and are very much the same as a 'normal' Individual. There is no point in time where they could probably point at and say "That was the day E became a magickian.", but som e day did exist. They also have devoted many y-eras to some quest, perhaps not always without doubt, and it has left them piritually elevated from the rest of humanity. These facets of the human psyche may or may not be inherent in each Individual- E w ill not argue about that. What is painfully true is that very few people ever attain this level of performance. How does the question of metathought relate to human performance, and individual interactions? If we look at the mind as a coumputer, metathought is changing soum aspects of the coumputer by that coumputer itself. While this has been established by man y thinkers (e.g. R.A. Wilson, Leary, etc.), each Individual must fully coumprehend the implications of the logical 'problem' here. First, if a computer is reprogrammed, how can it compare itself against its former state? If memories are the only items t hat are changed, then the information in the recall process has been altered, and comparisons of change before and after are faulty. If the computer algorithms which cause the recall/reasoning are changed, then the way in which facts are recalled are als o changed, perhaps impeding the nature of the comparison itself. Finally, one can alter the machine itself, i.e. injury to the brain, or enhancement by 'growth drugs' (such as the (disappointing) NGF- nerve growth factor). ! The essence boils down to this; if the computer is programming itself, is there any way in which the change can be accurately measured? This problem becoums Heisenbergian; once a measurement is made of an object, the object itself is changed, be it subtly or extraordinary. Metathought must then either incorporate a way in which to minimize the processes which measure the difference betw een two points of change. However, this puts us in another tangle- the minimum point where we can be sure of no change is when no change occurs. Soum Individuals now think 'what about having an external reference point which does not change?' This migh t be part of a solution. The external reference must be a second Individual, one who will undergo no change during the metaprogramming, and be able to soumhow quantify and qualify the differences between the start and end states of the reprogrammed Indiv idual. This may all seem to be a moot point, but it is not. Anyone who has worked in any depth in computer science knows that this problem can be both common and vicious. The way we generally interact with todays' coumputer systems is through an interface cal led an operating system. This system is an interpreter of sorts. Most Individuals who use a single machine (or login alias) frequently metaprogram the specifics of the operating system they use. For instance, there are many different types of graphics programs, word processors, editors, etc., all of which generate the same output, but vary widely on the inputs they use. Individuals usually tend to stick with one type. Now, if you 'reprogram' the startup-shell (specific options on an operating system) and do something incorrectly, the result generally is not only does the change not work properly, but you cannot access ANYTHING within the coumputer- the 'mind' is cut loose, lost at sea. The only way to get it going agai! n it to 'bootstrap' it- use a generic disk which is external to the machine to get into the mind. The Star Trek analogy might be Mr. Spock 'jump starting' yer broken brain through a mind-meld. The point E'm trying to make is that metaprogramming is a delicate, intense operation which requires infinite skill and precision. This might be part of what "black magick"- people changing their minds in ways in which they cannot escape, half-executing programs which do not run, which stumble, and which cause numerous quirks and crashes. Think of Individuals who have taken LSD during a particularly stressful time (death of a close Individual or split with a lover, for instance). They might have indul ged to escape. However, psychoactive drugs have more magickal abilities implied than simple escape. E'm convinced that they also throw Individuals into certain metaprogramming modes. One instance E've noted is from those who have soumhow left their br ains and LTM (long-term memory) open to sensory and emotional input. The bottleneck that the mind uses to strip down the incouming information also seems to be broken down, or at least temporarily widened, and the result ca! n be devastating. Imagine holding up a garbage bag in front of a tsunami. More realistically, it's more akin to oferwriting data on a hard disk, and filling it up in the process with chains of fragmented, strung together thought. All does not have to be lost, like bits of flotsam and jetsam on the surf. If soumone put me out in the middle of soum wilderness without food and without water, I would not necessarily die of starvation immediately. If we could simulate this E-vent on a coumputer many times (say 100), and have the program be soumwhat stochastic, then we might get results like E die immediately five times, E flourish as E never have before in the city twice, E survive at a minimal level 60 times, and the rest E survive as soum nominally higher level. Where does that information coum from on how to feed, search, gather, plant, or whatever to survive? Putting this together...what's the damn point? THOUGHTCRIME is an meeting place for all of us to examine what's up in our heads without having the only recourse being the standard books on intro philosophy and psychology. As an Initiate in TOPY, I use a method of ritual and magick to create little p rograms that search through my mind, and signaling me of certain E-vents. This magickal process is certainly one of the options that will have to be explored if Homo sapiens, the naked ape, is to survive much beyond our present generations. Any magickal process- a ritual or a routine which is done in order to expedite or 'throw energy at' a goal- requires PKE (psychick energy) from you! If you go through a bunch of procedures, spend a lot of money or precious incenses, toad hairs, and raid ever botanica in thee nation but neglect to properly focus the energy within your mind towards the goal at hand, all is lost. You might as well leave everything up to destiny, and become the ultimate fatalist. Even if you as an Individual do throw PKE at a goal, how do you know that most of it isn't being dispersed in the atmosphere, perhaps creating the realm of 'chaos'? Let's think of the average American mind after 12 years of schooling- it's much like the gasoline engine. Did you know that upward of 90% of the energy created by our standard automobile engines is simply wasted in an inefficient conversion to heat energy? Imagine if we could make them only 10% more efficient- the best engines would be get ting at least 100 miles/gallon, and even the worst would be somewhere around 50 mpg! Metaprogramming is the same; if we can learn to tune up our minds and make them more efficient, the energy that we disperse towards a goal, focusing through a ritual tha t the mind creates will increase astronomically. One way that you will see this happen is that a lot of magickal questions you might have had are suddenly elucidated. Magickal processes become one level more intuitive. Perhaps even your magickal processes will generate positive results most of the time...and those which do not come to fruition can be analyzed and broken down as to the cause of their failure. I've read a lot of essays like this, and at this point, most of them end. All of the outline is for nothing- there is nothing practical in it. First of all, in order for rituals and sigils to work one must practice them, read about them, and look at th em from all levels. There are many places you can learn this information. TOPYSexT has an extensive catalog of books that show some of the more simple, intuitive types of magick. I recommend 'Intuitive Magick', Wizards Ov Ov', 'TOPY Is', and any of the A.O. Spare books now available. TOPYSoL is currently producing Sigilbook, an extensive documentation produced quarterly about practical sigil magick. The Peter Carroll books (Liber Null, Psychonaut, Psychonomicon among them) have a great deal of well-p resented information that not only serve as an introduction to a lot of information, but also as a 'reference'. Duncan's Book of Ritual Freemasonry is an excellent introduction to the levels of higher magick. In conjuncti! on, if you can get hold of the long-out-of-print Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. (S. Weiser Press, about 1974), The Golden Dawn (I. Regardie, Llewellyn Press), and (of course) Equinox by Crowley, you should be very buried for the time being. In addition to those books which present 'pure' magickal information, classical books by philosophers will help one to 'bone up' on the pure process of thought. Look at what these people are saying...pull out the allegories, find their faults in overext ending analogies, and what they were trying to get at. This stuff is a pure bitch to read, but perhaps the hours you spend reading it will at least clue you in on how critical you can be of your own process. It will also teach you to have a more open mi nd. Many of these individuals died whilst clinging onto tattered theories that were their misconceived brainchildren, and never had thee personal energy to release their minds from a tiny little cavern that was safe and dirty, and venture out beyond the shadows of their pasts.

"i was in a `junk shop' looking for brass horn...[i have been looking for a trumpet made out of horn and one made from brass, i have one made from a thighbone and a conch shell and wish these other two to do a ritual quartet piece, this dream took place after finally obtaining a conch shell] ...and to my surprise there were a couple of straight brass horns all beat up like CRASH WORSHIP's...i picked one up and let out a blast...it echoed infinately and filled this space with a low hum similar to a fog horn... it was then that i realized that `that room' [see above] was beyond behind ordinary reality...nor different from ordinary reality...that is `nirvana is samasara; samsara is nirvana'." always remember dreamtime is more real than realtime... ________________________________________________________________________________ END TRANSMISSION 2.09
