Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
’cause they don’t get enough to eat

From god,
I can’t believe in you.

Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
’cause they can’t make opinions meet,
About god,
I can’t believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god,
Don’t know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain’t and so do you,
Dear god,
I can’t believe in,
I don’t believe in,

I won’t believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You’re always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it’s the same the whole world ’round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebody’s unholy hoax,
And if you’re up there you’ll perceive,
That my heart’s here upon my sleeve.
If there’s one thing I don’t believe in...

It’s you,
Dear god.

All Quests Lead to the Phylum PDF Print E-mail
Written by Delphi Carstens

Machinic phylumis a term coined by French post-structuralist philosophers Deleuze and Guattari to describe the universe’s reservoir of self-organising principles. They reason that whenever a crystal grows, a foetus begins to develop or someone stumbles across a novel idea something or someone has accessed this omnipresent reservoir and sampled a code.



According to Manual de Landa our task, like that of the shamen, is to become responsible probe-heads that explore the Phylum in a search for new modes of being. Expressing the dynamics of a new paradigm will entail a ceaseless and brave journey, climbing from one strange attractor to another as we track the Phylum in search of a better destiny for humanity.


* Essential reading on the subject of the Phylum include Manual De Landa’s A Thousand Years of Non-Linear History or Deleuze & Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Science-fictional explorations include Neal Stephenson’s Diamond-Age and Tricia Sullivan’s Dreamers in Smoke.

Description:
Psychedelic substances present in nature have been used by humans across hundreds of years to produce mind-altering changes in thought, mood, and perception--changes we do not experience otherwise except rarely in dreams, religious exaltation, or psychosis. U.S. scientists were studying the practical and therapeutic uses for hallucinogens, including LSD and mescaline, in the 1950s and 1960s supplied by large manufacturers including Sandoz. But the government took steps to ban all human consumption of hallucinogens, and thus the research.

World Psychedelic Forum this Spring, 2008

Psychedelics have been widely used for thousands of years nearly everywhere on the planet. Psychoactive plants have been central to most ancient sacred rituals and primitive medical treatments. They have been worshipped in all cultures as "Plants of the Gods" and considered as mediators between human beings and the universe, linking the physical to the spiritual dimensions of existence.
