Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
WIZARD: The music of the spheres.
TRIP: I love listening to you chant, we'll have to do some more of
that chanting.
MUZ MURRAY: I haven't done that for a long time now, I have to
prepare for that one normally.
TRIP: You must have an elephantine memory; you're able to
remember this stuff perfectly. The Wizard and I talk about how
impossible it is to give worded description to THAT, to the “I amness”,
but I'll say in your description of your meltdown, you do a
pretty good job, and I wanted to read that, if you don't mind.
MUZ MURRAY: Okay, thank you.
TRIP: "It was January 1964: I was heart and head weary", now
this is after you'd been all over Africa, and you've been starving
and everything; "friendless and fundless and at a crossroads in my
life. Then it happened. On my third evening in Cyprus, near the
port of Limas sol, I was sitting gazing vacantly at the sea, when the
unbelievable turning point of my life occurred. The sun had gone
down. My mind was empty. Slowly a strange feeling crept upon
me, as if some ghostly hand was caressing the back of my neck and
tingling its way over the top of my head. My skin goose-pimpled
and the hairs stood up all over my arms. Then my body seemed to
dissolve. Suddenly my consciousness was no longer limited to the
body. It rapidly "expanded" beyond its confines, across the ocean
and the land and out into space in every direction.
Instantaneously I was aware of being everywhere in the universe
at the same time, not only viewing countless things occurring, as if
seen through the myriad lenses of a fly's eye, but I actually felt
myself simultaneously being all those experiences at one and the
same time."
WIZARD: Seamless sentience.
