The Only Evil With Mushrooms Is Not Taking Enough - Terence McKenna

I'm uploading some of the more obscure Terence McKenna talks I have to my Youtube account after conversion from MP3 to video files. The one above is McKenna talking to a small group and is simply prophetic if you're plugged in to some of the macro changes that the edges are now in full chatter-mode about. 

By that I mean if you only soak in mainstream media including movies, news, press and radio, it's unlikely you'll grasp what is being said at all.

To overcome that it's crucial to consume information that makes you uncomfortable, that inverts your reality and tests your sanity. Either that or take sacred medicines like psilocybin mushrooms and don't dilly dally on the dose. It's five dried grammes or you're wasting your time.

The last alternative is 20 years of sweeping the ashram floor, or meditation and I'm afraid we don't have 20 years. Last train for that gig was back in the 90's. Nobody told me either.

Marathon Man & Nazi Saturnalia

Indulge me on this one. The dental drill-to-torture scene in Marathon is legendary and one I'd wanted to review as I once learned that clove oil really does fix tooth nerve pain. Gareth and I were having a friendly bicker on twitter some time back over best actors, and for my money Sean Penn (and one other I cant remember) totally outclass Olivier and Gielgud, though to be fair stage and screen aren't a level playing field.

So I rewatched the film earlier today and it's got a script that stinks to high heaven. It's riddled with credibility gaps even though I love U.S. films of the 70's with great New York city and neighbourhood photography. However, the suspense filled diamonds down the drain scene pitching evil Nazi against brutalised and innocent history student set my Saturnalia alarm off.

As you may recall, a hexagon is a 2D representation of a 3D cube which takes it into pure Saturnalia country. I doubt that's why Schlesinger filmed the scene here but it stuck out like a sore tooth so I thought I'd make a note of it. 

The water swirling around the hexagon is a Saturn-like ring too.
