I once climbed to the top of the highest pile of rocks I could find at
Joshua Tree and experienced a metaphysical roller coaster trip
(mushrooms) that lasted for hours, the catharsis of which was an
indescribable sunset; it was as if I was playing chicken with God.
That was years ago, long before I found the MoQ; it didn't occur to me
to record the experience in any fashion or seeking particular insight.
I hadn't started talking to myself yet, not consciously.
I'm different now and I've got some more mushrooms...
I just finished THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION and I'm almost done with LILA.
I'm tempted to give it a go, but with objectives this time. Perhaps a
list of questions to answer and/or goals to accomplish.
I have trustworthy, sober companions and a tape recorder with a mic.
I'm considering places. Beach? Mountains? Museum? City? Mall?
Studio? Home.
Suggestions, comments or input of any kind would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Chuck
