Tom, my friend, When I first began to seriously study character development and sensory awareness my teachers told me simply that I had to learn to go to all of those places with discipline rather than drugs. I did one LSD experience under supervision with a therapist and my teacher told me the next week that I couldn't come back if I ever did it again because it was too easy.
I constantly work with people from Raves and other drug experiences and they do not have the ability to concentrate to do serious complex art. That is a problem that is severe when it comes to great music and art. The hippies couldn't and the conservatives are too anal retentive to do it as well. You just have to find more "in depth" activities to straighten the mind and develop the psycho-physical instrument. I agree with McLuhan but not about Raves and Hippies. They are to art what addition is to higher math. Best to you, Ray Evans Harrell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christoph Reuss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 4:51 PM Subject: RE: [Futurework] A much wider war is possible > May I suggest that conquest and occupation per se is bad ? > (and illegal under international law, but colonists could care less) > > The idea of "compassionate colonialism" makes about as much sense > as "compassionate rape" (maybe she liked it after all?!?
