over 10 years ago i was having this casual conversation with a colleague while doing a manual labor type of project, and we were talking about remote places, historical peoples/cultures with knowledge out there to rediscover. not like “mayans had cell phones” type of shit, but like Traditional Ecological Knowledge, ethnobotanical wisdom, and conceptual cosmologies.

A lot of people don't know what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that layers on top of everything. Give you an example, I'll show you what I mean. Suppose you thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like plate or shrimp or plate of shrimp out of the blue no explanation. No point for looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

I'll give you another instance. You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now. Blogs on all the websites about Bermuda triangles, UFOs, how the Mayans invented television. That kind of thing. Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine. People get so hung up on specifics. They miss out on seeing the whole thing.

Take South America for example. In South America thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute. You realize something. There had tobe a time when there were no people. Right? Well where did all these people come from? Humh? I'll tell you where. The future. Where did all these people disappear to? Humh? The past! And how'd they get there?

That's right. Flying saucers. Which are actually? You guessed it, time machines.

I think a lot about this kind of stuff. I do my best thinking on the bus. That's how come I don't drive, see.
