 		So, what exactly is the point of the post by siliconpsychosis, other than the fact that the song includes the phrase "Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed"?

Yeah, it really hurts my head too.



*edit: just realized the William Blake thing was already said, I knew that.

 		Heh, the post confused me because in one of the other possible ARGs around they've found some NIN and Linkin Park lyrics (possibly, I've only been lurking) and I thought I was in that thread...

Oops

 		perhaps the lucky 333 will be getting invites to another Earthworks event (as mentioned in J. Randall Flynn's letter) as part of their packages in the mail?

I'm not sure we can read too much into lyrics from the same group that gave us "E's are good, e's are good, he's Ebeneezer Goode!" Wink

 		McKenna
I just thought someone might like to read what McKenna had to say actually. Pretty incredible stuff in my opinion.

Terrance McKenna wrote some heavy stuff. I enjoyed some of it quite a lot. When he compares human conciousness to that of mushrooms, well, that's where I start to freak out.

Not just because I am not a mushroom, but because one time in the 1970's channel 43 showed "Attack of the Mushroom People" (a.k.a.Matango) every Friday night for like a whole summer. Cheesy Japanese movie that's so good for its horrible production quality.

Undoubtedly a culture that is aware of ours, and has its own drug problems would be aware of Mr. McKenna. RIP.
