Psychedelic Poetry by gregvanderlaan.com ceremony and ritual: a story...
OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN FUSED INTO ONE SHIMMERING COLONIAL ANIMAL... FLOWING IN THE
CURRENTS OF THE MUSIC...
adrenaline, seratonin,synapses on fire !
IN THE SHADOWS,TORCHES FLICKER IN THE BREEZE. THE ORACLE BEGINS TO SPEAK, FEEL THE HEAT...
adrenaline,serotonin,synapses on fire!
WE DANCE OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL REALM OF TIME AND SPACE. THE CROWD ERUPTS IN OUTBURSTS OF FREE-FORM MOTION AS THE INTENSITY OF THE JAM PEAKS
adrenaline,serotonin,synapses on fire!
MY BODY IS TRANSFORMED INTO A PINBALL AND I RICCOCHET AROUND THE SPECTRUM
ARENA BOUNCING OFF THE FLASHING LIGHTS. A CROWD OF DEADHEADS
SURROUND ME INTENT ON TELLING ME STUPID JOKES... THEY JUST...know... THAT I WILL LAUGH...
adrenaline,serotonin,synapses on fire!
GOD...THE 'BIG G' WALKS RIGHT UP TO ME AND SHAKES MY HAND. HE ANSWERS ALL THE REALLY BIG QUESTIONS... OF COURSE, BY THE NEXT MORNING I FORGOT THEM ALL! NO PROBLEM .... THEY WERE PROGRAMMED DIRECTLY INTO MY DNA AND I'LL KNOW THEM UNTIL
THE END OF TIME........
THANK YOU DR. ALBERT HOFFMAN
*************************************** This was written after attending a Grateful Dead concert in JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was sitting up above the crowd in the bleachers and could see the dancers move more enthusiastically during peaks of the music... less motion during gentle passages... as the dynamics of the improvization ebbed and flowed, the dancers moved accordingly... like sea anemones moving in the currents of the ocean... I also mention the Spectrum in Philadelphia... It has many blinking advertisements for Atlantic city casinos in the area where refreshments were being served... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Psychedelic Art by gregvanderlaan.com

It caused swirling colors to appear on the computer screen, then stop for a paragraph of words... designed to invoke a hypnotic trance... sadly, qbasic is history and delivering .exe files over the internet is restricted... ahh the good old days... however, here is a link to JAVA animations that are very similar...cosmic art... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ DO YOU SEE SOUNDS? HEAR
COLORS? WELL...YOU DO NOW! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
imagine that you are floating in a tub of warm water... every muscle in your body is completely relaxed... your mind drifts and contentment blooms like a time lapse film of a rose... you leave your body and rise up to the ceiling... you look back and see your body... it is resting with a cup of tea in it's hand... ahh...mint... as you watch your body,your mind seeps thru the ceiling and you see the
world. there is a forest... it is for...rest... on the shore of a lake a spiral of deadheads dance around a fire. the flickering light seems to be perfectly synchronized to the rhythm of the drums... alas...the reversal of entropy is mearly an illusion. one of the deadheads reaches into the shadows and lifts a
five gallon can of gasoline. it is tightly sealed.he places it on the fire... they all move back... it will take time for the gas to expand enough to burst the can... a slender woman with strawberry blond hair
raises a conch shell to her lips and draws a deep breath. she blows a long note signaling the
beginning of a new era of mankind. everything is dripping with meaning. significance saturates every
leaf of every tree ... then a tiny hole appears in the gas can and a cone of fire reaches for the sky...
you contemplate metalurgy,welding and strength of materials... then the gas can resigns itself to fate
and a ball of fire searches for oxygen and of course finds it. the spiral of deadheads emit a massive
yeah! and you drift on... ************************************** This tale is not a verified experience... it was just a story someone told me about at a Grateful Dead concert... None of my friends EVER put a 5 gallon can of gas on a fire just to have fun...
