“Just look at the history of cinema. The most reproduced male character is probably the hero and the most reproduced female character is probably the sex object.

“But almost always, during the initial stage of the struggle, the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or sub oppressors. The very structure of their thought has been conditioned by the contradiction of the concrete, existential situation by which they were shaped.

“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
