The Sun Will Shine In My Back

It's Pretty Clear Now That What Looked Like It Might Have Been Some Kind Of Counterculture Is, In Reality, Just The Plain Old Chaos Of Undifferentiated Weirdness.

If You Can Create A Reality That Is Entirely Fictitious, It Doesn't Owe Anything To This Stuff Out Here, But You Interact With It On Your Own Terms. I Mean, If You Took It To The Point Where Finally You Get, Say, Tactile Feedback, So You Were Wired In In Terms Of The Whole Nervous System. The Sensorium. You Would Have The Ultimate Art Form. I Mean, Any Painter Would Want It, Any Filmmaker Would Want Access To It You Know, Any Musician Would Want Access To It. It Would Eliminate The Need For The Divisions Between What We Describe As The Arts, Converting The Whole Thing To Experience.

I Think That The Revolution In Music Is Over, And What's Left Is A Mop-up Action. It's A Matter Of The News Getting Out To Everybody Else. I Think That The Important Changes Have Already Happened, Changes In Consciousness. It's Mostly A Matter Of Everything Else Catching Up To That. Everything Is Traditionally Slow - Much Faster Than It Ever Has Been On Earth But Still Far, Far Too Slow.

You Do Not Merely Want To Be Considered Just The Best Of The Best. You Want To Be Considered The Only One Who Does What You Do.

There Is No Dogma, There Isn't Anything About How The Universe Works.
