“An entirely new factor has appeared in the social development of the country, and this factor is the Irish-American, and his influence. To mature its powers, to concentrate its action, to learn the secret of its own strength and of England's weakness, the Celtic intellect has had to cross the Atlantic. At home it had but learned the pathetic weakness of nationality; in a strange land it realised what indomitable forces nationality possesses. What captivity was to the Jews, exile has been to the Irish: America and American influence have educated them.” Has BeensCountryHomeActionAmericaForceSocialSecretInfluenceLandStrangeDevelopmentWeaknessCrossesEnglandJewIntellectFactorsEducatedMatureExilePatheticNationalityRealisedSocial DevelopmentCaptivityCelticIndomitable Author:Oscar Wilde

“Sometime in the last 50,000 years, before 12,000 years ago, a kind of paradise came into existence. A situation in which men and women, parents and children, people and animals, human institutions and the land all were in dynamic balance and not in any primitive sense at all. Language was fully developed, poetry may have been at its climax, dance, magic, poetics, altruism, philosophy. There's no reason to think that these things were not practiced as adroitly as we practice them today and it was under the boundary dissolving influence of psilocybin.” PeopleThinkingMenYearsHumansKindMayChildrenHas BeensReasonPhilosophyTodayLastsLanguageParentAnimalExistenceSituationPracticeMagicInfluenceLandBalanceMen And WomenYears AgoInstitutionsBoundariesParadiseNo ReasonPrimitiveAltruismChildren And ParentsClimaxDissolvingPsilocybin Author:Terence McKenna
