an audio travelogue of sorts

Once Adam, Ron, and Christopher settle into a camping routine, they head over to Ron's old campsite to search for tracks that could belong to the elusive Sasquatch. Things get a little intense when the guys investigate strange sounds outside the trailer. Is something out there, in the dark, stalking the camp? Christopher smokes Salvia divinorum, a hallucinagenic plant. Adam takes magic mushrooms and gets in touch with the universe.

Adam, Ron, Christopher head east of Chilliwack, BC on a two week camping trip. They make a unsuccessful attempt at crossing a washout in the dirt road which forces them to back the trailer down the mountain. Once safely turned around, the boys find the right location along the creek to land the trailer and set up camp. With a fire blazing, they finally enjoy some relaxation in the great outdoors.

"Whether you are interested in moksha, liberation, freedom, transformation, you name it, you are interested in happiness without one moment of unhappiness, pleasure without pain, it is the same thing. Whether one is here in India or Russia or in America or anywhere, what people want is to have one without the other. But there is no way you can have one without the other. This demand is not in the interest of the survival of this living organism."

"We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood."

"Nature is interested in only two things — to survive and to reproduce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that, all the cultural input, is responsible for the boredom of man."

"Society or culture or whatever you might want to call it, has created us all solely and wholly for the purpose of maintaining its continuity and status quo."

"I have assumed that the goal, enlightenment, exists. I have had to search and it is the search itself which has been choking me and keeping me out of my natural state. There is no such thing as spiritual or psychological enlightenment because there is no such thing as spirit or psyche. I have been a damn fool all my life, searching for something which does not exist. My search is at an end."

"I have no teaching. There is nothing to preserve. Teaching implies something that can be used to bring about change. Sorry, there is no teaching here, just disjointed, disconnected sentences. What is there is only your interpretation, nothing else. For this reason there is not now nor will there ever be any kind of copyright for whatever I am saying. I have no claims". -UG

"...rant/probe by iON from 1 October 2009, goes further than Lord Buckley or Lenny Bruce by satirizing not so much the foibles, vices, and hypocrisies of your daily fivebodied, quadrophrenic “citizen” as to present a raucous inventory, in the style of Marshall McLuhan, of the effects of the present environmental surround (let’s call it Web 2.0) that reveals causes—all four of Aristotle’s—the likes of which no other artist, comedian, sociologist, psychologist, novelist, composer, or videographer could even hope to present, let alone imagine—with the para-human rapidity required of our Americanized attention spans..." ~Bob Neveritt

"The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted. Everything is changing: you, your family, your education, your neighborhood, your job, your government, your relation to "the others. And they're changing dramatically." The Medium is The Massage, Marshall McLuhan

"...the future is contained within the present, as the plant within the seed...For he not only beholds intensely the present as it is, and discovers those laws according to which present things ought to be ordered, but he beholds the future in the present, and his thoughts are the germs of the flower and the fruit of latest time. Not that I assert poets to be prophets in the gross sense of the word, or that they can foretell the form as surely as they foreknow the spirit of events: such is the pretence of superstition, which would make poetry an attribute of prophecy, rather than prophecy an attribute of poetry. A poet participates in the eternal, the infinite, and the one; as far as relates to his conceptions, time and place and number are not." ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

also listen to Romanticism 11: Kant and the Sublime (nothingness)

Nothingness is really like the nothingness of space, which contains the whole universe. All the sun and the stars and mountains, and rivers, and goodmen and bad men, and the animals, and insects, and the whole bit. All are contained in void. So out of this void comes everything and you it. What else could you be?
