The word entheogenic means god-facilitating.
And it's this idea that tools and techniques of ecstasy
can act as conduits, as mediation
catalysts for encounters with the numinous.
They are essentially god-hacks, OK?
It's this notion that we are able to tweak
our subjective experience to catalyze
a shift in consciousness that leads us to kind of god-mode.
And as Mckenna says, "Do not give in to the astonishment."
The realization that reality is but a matrix of perception,
that we can pierce that veil, that we can raise the stage
It means we are ontological engineers.
We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams
We tumble down that rabbit hole.
We re-inscribe, redefine, re-edit
the nature of that rabbit hole.
The wonderland becomes our wonderland.
The hero's journey becomes the map
for our own ecstatic illumination.
You know, Mircia Eliade, the philosopher,
talked about techniques of ecstasy.
He described shamans as literally ecstatic technicians
This notion that we actually are able to create conditions,
to create spaces for all of us to become ecstatic technicians
That the passport to the numinous
lies within and that we can hack it.
Oof.
It's an entheogenic revolution.
Boundaries are being dissolved and we are being reborn.
