Whenever You Feel Small and Insignificant…
Whenever you feel small and insignificant, remember the following:
1. That the human neocortex is the most densely complex thing discovered in the universe by man.
2. That it is a scientific fact that the iron in your blood was formed at the core of 1 or more stars that went supernovae long ago.
3. That YOU played an important part in earth’s most significant period of change in history.

Pink Light
In design, if I ever have to make something glow, I always add a touch of pink to the outer edge… a habit which actually started after I read Valis by Philip K Dick. It’s a reference to the phosphene activity he saw when Valis fired information into his brain.
Kindness
“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.” — Dalai Lama XIV
Terence McKenna’s Last Interview
My Hero… We all love and miss you, Terence.
This film is dedicated to the work and play of Terrence McKenna, on the fractal edge of time, 1946 – 2000.
Terence Kemp McKenna was an American author, public speaker, metaphysician, psychonaut, philosopher, ethnobotanist, art historian, and self-described anarchist, anti-materialist, environmentalist, feminist, Platonist and skeptic. During his lifetime he was noted for his knowledge of psychedelics, metaphysics, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, mysticism, Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, biology, geology, physics, phenomenology, and his concept of novelty theory.
This video is included as a bonus film on the DVD “Shamans of the Amazon” now available in a 3-DVD Box Set – 260 mins – Cat# U670. Loaded with Bonus Features and featuring Terence McKenna. Go to http://www.UFOTV.com.
“Shamans of the Amazon by Dean Jefferys is one of the best documentaries available on the use of ayahuasca in contemporary context, in traditional cultures that are being destabilized by the forces of globalization. As Jefferys’ documentary makes clear, the revival of traditional shamanic practices with ayahuasca is proving to be a potent political and propaganda tool for reaffirming and preserving cultural values and identity in indigenous societies that are buffeted by environmental, economic, and societal forces beyond their control.”
- Dennis McKenna PhD, co-author The Invisible Landscape

The Art of Letting Go
Definitely my favorite track off the new release. This one was a long time coming… several evolutions and revamps… and a few years off in between to grow and reflect…
