The work of Terence McKenna, Robert Crumb and Alan Moore, among other artists, is here used to explain what the mexican shamans refer to as the topics of all topics: How we have been intentionally domesticated and cultivated to serve a more advanced beings purpose - as shared by Carlos Castaneda
Thanks for defining "gaslighting". Cholita won't do it for me. But she uses the term often.
She believes that when she's punching and slapping me for causing the bank to put an 8 day hold on a check drawn on a rare bank, and I explain she's a little confused by the schizophrenia, that's "gaslighting" her.
Is anyone else always disappointed when they hear Terence speak?

I was raised by a schizophrenic from birth, “gaslight” might have been one of my fist words actually as I didn’t speak until I was five. It could be a color on your shirt, a word you say, a smell on you, your favorite show, a new friend, or even a brand of milk you bought: it’s all a conspiracy. Schizophrenics are relentlessly ruthless and the pettiest of tyrants that enforce only the most impossible of standards. It’s the full package for us: stalking included of course. I grew up never really accepting my reality on any level, as I wasn’t allowed to have one. You’re both very lucky and cursed to have found one. McKenna only sounds profound to college freshmen I think.

McKenna sounds like one too many trips to me. And he certainly never learned to get silent.

So true! He actually criticised Castaneda for abandoning entheogens in favor of a more intellectual/cognitive approach.
He sure loved the drugs...and never got past them.

What did him in was becoming a super star.
Otherwise, maybe he would have taken Carlos seriously, and learned to get silent.
You can tell from his social/political concerns that he's got a very noisy, fussy mind.
I was a little surprised to see Krishnamurti ranting about computer intelligence.
Maybe it was out of context, but it seems like an odd concern for someone who accomplished what he claimed.

I was also surprised to see Krishnamurti speak about computers like that (in 1981). Your comment here made me think if it really happened or this is yet another deep fake video

Wow, if it's a deep fake that's really cool!
Let’s make some brand new Humpfrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall movies! Except, this time Lauren is R rated when she whistles.
You’re right, 1981 is a little early to be worrying about Skynet. So maybe it is a fake.
I didn't listen to the whole thing, but it's odd for someone who is silent, to be passing out worry.
And Terrance. Passing out worry. That’s not his job!
That's one beef I have with some former private class people, and ancillary associates of Carlos.
They're posting political rants! What the hell?????
Firing up hate isn't the kind of thing a person who can get silent does. The world is saturated with it.
And all political rants fire up hate, especially when they pretend to be fighting against it.
Speaking of hate, I ought to say this. At some point private class members were discussing the fliers, and the dark magicians, and similar topics.
Someone pointed out, it's common in cults to hate everyone outside the cult. Us against the world, and only we can save it.
That kind of thing.
And everyone denied it.
No.... We don't hate people who aren't practicing sorcery. Even Corey insisted that was impossible.
But after Carlos died and the whole thing blew up, people started to move away from the cultish thinking, and suddenly several people who were adamant before changed their mind.
Corey was the first to admit it. Yep, we hated everyone.
As don Juan explained, we live in a river if filth, pissing and pooping on each other all day long.

It more likely fear, disguised as hate. That's what it almost always is.
We fear the influence of the masses, when struggling to go "against the grain."

Yep. But then below fear, self-pity?
Or maybe fear below that. Who knows.
It's all got to go if you want to assemble another world.
You can keep it for dreaming however.

Thanks for that description of paranoid schizophrenic behavior. It's good to hear it repeated, when you're in the middle of it.
They can drag you down to their level of reasoning, thinking there's some way to solve their endless complaints.
But there isn't.
I suspect Cholita's only chance is for me to learn to move her assemblage point.
