Part 1: This is Your Situation(ism) Little Johnny understands the pounding rhythms of America Nourished with fattening dinners he is compelled to believe in God's fondness for his society His generation is full of kids who blame liberal administrators for crushing the dreams of today's families A sea of open mouths hungry for property wanting to grab, to feel, to rub up against, what should be recognized as the Cold Hell of Reason: This deadly slow malignant railroad of words - Canned literature smashing the human mind and even worse - shrinking the human spirit Disguised as logic Drops a bone for discussion then DEMANDS that the body abrogate SELF-SUPER-VISION This weird, ever-changing world is the doorway to confusion It's main export: THE DESTRUCTION OF BOREDOM THROUGH REMOVAL OF MENTAL ACTIVITY Part 2: HOW DID WE GET HERE? ACCURATE HISTORY: Industrial Reformists of the middle ages designed funny hats with the capacity to forecast complex international trends Early Man sensed the coming of the automobile and assembled pushbikes: irrational, slow moving things that took conventional power and conveyed it into DIRECTIONLESS WORK As a consequence of this early planning committed at the expense of much happy play today we wear suits and hats submerging passion in favor of averageness, objectivity and "democracy" Think of technological societies from a tourist's perspective: where machines creating material goods define labor These societies subordinate harmony and completeness by organizing large numbers of people into service units: Empty, obedient smiles outline a pale torturous experiment How to diplomatically inject some volume of respect and positivity into this picture of broken souls? Part 3: A Ritual of Consumption for the MacDonald Survivors: Here is the triumph of multifunction speedy humans Where packaging is 18 times greater than the actual portion Urban supermarkets respect the artistry of health food for dogs Pleasure seekers need new obsessions to confound the intellect: flowery statements to endow potato chips with the mystery of creation They buy shortcuts to jump from the mundane to the great beyond Any gift that will silence the Majestic Voice make hazy the perpetual viral craving for authority: a double side dish of sex drive data, simulated double mocha electric luxury, or maybe just a double whiskey? Part 3: The Pink Fruit Crystal, an account of living energy unwrapped from it's political business to become alien and astonishing: Searching through Egypt, through Alchemy Living a contemplative life cumbersome with festering despair and earthshaking fear until... The superficial appearance is surpassed and direct connection is made with... THE PINK FRUIT CRYSTAL THE SPONTANEOUS GORILLA-THING IS BORN - replaces the structure and gadgetry of distractive goal - directed performances with a seamless expression of realized being What is the value of mystical modes of consciousness? Those instants wash the brain of totalitarian patterns learned in fear The child playing with eternity leaves the complacent non-existence of complicated information cognitions He is given wings telescoped into RADIANT THUSNESS |
