Re:Evolution (Live At The Warfield)

I'd like to invite on our guest vocalist

for tonight, a very special guest,

he's been an unconsiderable influence on the

band, the voice of the apocalypse himself,

Mr. Terence McKenna, let's hear a big hand.

Yes

If the truth can be told so as to be understood

then it will be believed. And what is the truth

that we need to believe?It's that history

failed, and so history is about to end, and

we're going to fast forward a hundred thousand

years into the past.

For a hundred thousand years before history,

people lived in harmony, in love and community,

united in the worship of a psychedelic goddess

that ruled the planet before the

dominators. For ten thousand years they

promised us utopia, and they deliver a toxic,

polluted, overpopulated planet. Enough is enough.

From the beginning, shamans guided society,

before the fall into history, and now at the

end of time, the shamans emerge again to show

the way into a psychedelic dimension of love,

sex and intelligence. If these things are not

part of the future, what kind of future will it be?

We have to return to the paeliolithic world of

natural magic through psychedelic plants,

through silicebem, which dissolves boundaries,

promotes community and ends the differences

between people. It's community that has been

stolen from us by the dominators. It is hope

that has been taken from us by the materialists.

It is anxiety which has been the gift of history,

not liberation; and so now we say, back to the

magical past,let's make the future an archaic

revival of shamanism, magic,love, sex and

intelligence. Rave culture is the real new world

order and it's going to carry all of us into a

world of completion and caring that we have not

known since the pyramids were raised.

We are the final generation. We are the people

who must save the planet and depart from it into

hyperspace, and the shamans show the way. The

shamans show the way to hyperspace. All

culture, all the dreams of all our ancestors

have built to this moment, a moment when

through the use of percussive music, community,

sexuality and psychedelics, we can discover who

we really are. We can tear the white winged dwarf

off our back and drop kick him into the abyss;

because we are the people who have seen the

future. This is what shamanism is. A shaman is

someone who has been to the end, and returns

to the rest of us to show the way to a real

community, a real apothiosys, worthy of

all the shamans, all the people who suffered

and struggled over the centuries to bring us to

this moment. It is our planet, it belongs to

the future, and it is for us to reclaim and

make real, through love, sex and intelligence.

And intelligence means the psychedelic

experience. It means boundary dissolution.

It means sharing with each other the

depths of the imagination. Because this is

where we're heading folks. The future is in the

imagination. The psychedelic shamans have

dreamed of this around their campfires for

half a million years and it's our privelege

to make it happen, to build on it, to create it,

to call it forth, to redeem history.

And not a moment too soon. Not a moment too soon.

If consciousness expansion is not part of the

human future, what kind of future will it be?

If community is not part of the human future,

what kind of future will it be? If love and

sexuality and sensuality are not part of the human

future, what kind of future will it be? We didn't

cross the ice sheets for this. We crossed the ice

sheets to go to the stars, to go to the heart,

to raise ourselves to the glory that we know is

in us. And we have help. The planetary mind of the

Goddess is reaching out to us in our dreams, in

our psychedelic experiences, in our orgasms.

The Goddess is calling us home.

Hear the call, join the march, look into

hyperspace. What I tell you is true. What I tell

you is true. Go check for yourself. Experiencing the

primacy of experience is the centrepiece of being.

Don't sell out to the media, to the

newspapers, you are centre of the only universe

you will ever really know. It's the truth and if

it's told so as to be understood it will be

believed. The new rave culture is the cutting edge

of the last best hope for suffering humanity.

Spread the word. Shamanise, psychedelise,

orgasmacise your life. Take back the planet -

it's yours, it's yours.

These are the last minutes of human history folks.

The countdown is on.

This is not a test.

We're leaving this world behind,

for a brighter, better world that has always existed;

in our imagination.
