As human kind embarks on its last leg of an incredible technological and cultural acceleration, there are those of us that feel what is happening, but are confused about what we can and should do about it. What does it mean? where are we going? No one has all the answers, but some ask the right questions.http://av4t-r.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (Av4t-R)Blogger9125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096557201712823989.post-2381218499494482532Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:17:00 +00002009-11-14T09:53:13.599ZApologies to all, the last year has been a very busy one for us - so many projects and so little time.Rather than let this page become yet another defunct blog in the forgotten google wastelands, we will start updating again soon (regularly, promise), starting with an article next week about patriarchal repression.

Albert Hofmann was the discoverer of the compound LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) and thus was one of those who were responsible for the failed cultural revolution of the 60's. The story of the discovery of LSD has been told many times, but never better than byhttp://av4t-r.blogspot.com/2008/05/albert-hofmann.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Av4t-R)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096557201712823989.post-8260051454619706518Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:00:00 +00002008-04-16T15:28:32.783+01:00economicspolitikubepoliticseconomyAmong the many aspects of our culture that we take for granted, the most ubiquitous is the current financial system. Few people realize that our fiscal system is not the sole method of economy, and though the present system is responsible for all of the economic problems and deficiencies that we now face, a substitute is never considered.

The truth of the matter is that none of us (read: very few) have a worldview that does not depart from reality somewhere along the way.Our egos demand that we make assumptions about the world - survival in the material world http://av4t-r.blogspot.com/2007/11/subjective-mind-and-how-to-avoid-it.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Av4t-R)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096557201712823989.post-4037104785128144611Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:41:00 +00002007-09-20T11:43:59.247+01:00 http://av4t-r.blogspot.com/2007/09/terence-mckenna-may-he-rest-in-peace.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Av4t-R)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096557201712823989.post-8947508375068910026Mon, 17 Sep 2007 23:22:00 +00002007-11-13T18:19:25.710ZMuch is made of the distinction between Good and Evil - It is often held to be the ultimate dualistic pairing, often seen as a kind of objective universal force. All the galaxies know, apparently, the difference between (or the existence of) Good and Evil - as if it were some kind of cosmological constant, like the speed of light or absolute zero...
