one of Shaman Strings friend just asked: "whats the name of the drug you were on when you made this, i want to try some?"

my comment to her:
clean... yet with years of mediation, some shaman chemical experimentations (in the younger years), always with continual mystical realizations ... oh with decades of poetry and paintings to fine tune the flows ... and a lot of freesytle dancing in my trance.

here, one on the spot words for YOU

sister starlight with your silks
sometimes hanging on braids
swinging like pendulum clocks
or the "thinker" sitting on a rock
ready to rise up or drop
wanting to reject compromise
but then again... friend to friend
feeble handshakes always slip
from our cultural fingers
letting their nails pull us in
this direction or that ...
then we're carrying the crosses
sometimes to etch the +
into our forehead and shout:

Yes the the third eye can guide.

om, baby, Scot Aaron

[btw typically indigenous shamans might use their their drugs from the jungle or peyote buttons form their plains, yet spiritaul awareness is the key ... compare those mediating on the YHVH Tetragramaton name of God, connecting 10 spherical rungs from their Kabbalah ladder.... OR for those from the 60s or otherwise having read "Be Here Now," Albert/Ram Dass compares his drug experiences with experiences from eastern mediation. Basically, he ends up saying mediation gets to the same place... yes awareness in each breath. ... letting go with the power from the consciousness of all dimensions  IS the WAY ... oh and Albert ends, waking up from his powerful God-like drug experiences and having to do his dishes. ]
