Democracy is... a movement of the people.

Democracy is one of the most difficult terms to explain, but it is also the easiest to expound.

Using a few words and in a short time I am interested in explaining it, democracy is empowering the individual, to make the individual powerful, to make the individual supreme, to make the individual content. To make the individual the focus of every thought is what I feel is democracy.

The only real way to describe democracy is basically a solid wall. And a solid wall is where everything is part of a solid but each one is able to maintain  their own identity. That's how they all have to be a minting part.

What New Nepal, what republic, what democracy?

 We need democracy, I support autocracy, we need a republic - I don't favor any of the more then advocating a system, it is the people running it that counts more, I think.

The public together. Democracy is just namesake.

For progress of the country there should be peace. Their work is not proper.

Without fear. This way we wither and die. That way we wither and die. No ideea.

Democracy is... a movement of the people.

Everybody's Free

Lady's and Gentlemen of the class "97: "Wear Sunscreen!" If I could offer you only one tip for the future... Sunscreen will be IT! A long term benefits of sunscreen have been prove by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis, more reliable, then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Well never mind... You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they faded. But trust me... in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you, and how fabulous you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future... or worry, but know worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind... the kind that blindsides you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you. Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this... tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives... some of the most interesting 40 years olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't... Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't... Maybe you'll divorce at 40... maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do... don't congratulate yourself to much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance... so are everybody else's.

Enjoy you body... Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in you own living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel UGLY.

Get to know your parents... you never know when they'll be gone for good... Be nice to your siblings... They are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but... for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York city once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you to will get old... and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse... but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess to much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85... Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more the it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen.

What's to be done?

Terence McKenna talks about how to navigate in a world with a thousand different forms of salvation an excerpt from Seeking The Stone.

We know we're unhappy, but what's to be done you know, I mean we have a million minor fixes and people peddling all of this things, but somehow salvation itself became an impediment to salvation. I mean want's you see five hundred form of salvation been solved at prices you can't afford the very notion of salvation becomes obscene. You know, it becomes one more layer in the obscene layering that takes meaning out of life, and dis-empowers us, and turn us in a subscription customer, that seems to be how we always are been forced to end up.

The only way out of this, I think, is to... it takes courage, because we have to turn your back on your culture, in the most profound sense there is because there are many ways to turn your back on your culture. I mean if everyone is wearing gray you can wear green, that's one way to turn you back, I mean culture. But another way is to brake it's laws, now that's a little more serious, and you know, bring is big philosophical issues, but in fact the culture is an enormous arrow pointing "GO THIS WAY!" and you know what lies that way? impoverishment, madness, degradation and death that's where the culture is pointing. YOU CAN SEE IT, you can see it just look where we're headed, If everyone on earth aspires to the kind of lifestyle that you people can enjoy by heaving payed the money to be at a scene like this, there isn't enough glass, metal, and plastic in the planet to make that many jaguars, and bluebirts, and snowbirts, and all the rest of this crap. So what is needed is an awakening.

What is really interesting about the psychedelic experiences, it show's you a mental universe that you not only never suspected existed but that you could not have suspected existed. I don't think there is another way to it. I mean I'm not ready to categorically say there's not another way to it, and occasionally and specially at gathering like this people grab me and assure me that there are other ways to it, that.. you know... I want you to meat "Papachi", he's as good as psylocibin. "OH REALLY? I want to meat this man!". Let me say a little bit more about this, I will like to believe that in principle you can get to this places on the natch, Only in principle, however, because if some people say: "You know, this thing you described on DMT and pcylocibin, I can show you how to do that naturally!" "NO THANK YOU! are you kidding? Tank God I have the drung as a kind of marker, so what I know when I'm getting close to that stuff. If I woke up one morning and in that place and I couldn't not tell myself I've taken mushrooms, I will define myself as seriously discombobulated and wait to see what happens, you know? And people say: "Don't you think you are to be able to do it by yourself?" and I love this question! Because the answer is: "You can't do it by yourself!" that's the entire message of the last 10.000 years of human history, that the self is insufficient, that the ego will not suffice. The only way you are going to get anywhere is you must humble your self, to the point where you admit that you can't do it, in less you have help from someone who's ideas of home is a cow-flap. If you are willing to humble yourself to that degree then maybe we can get somewhere...

Living Without Conflict

You see, we have made life in a hideous state, living. Life has become a battle. Which is a obvious fact, constant fight, fight, fight... and we have the walls we live in from death. We separate death as something horrible, something to be frighten about, and to as this living, which is misery is we accept. If we didn't accept this living as misery then life and death are the same movement, like love, death and living are one! One must totally die to find what love is. And to go in to this question of what is death, what lays beyond death, whether there is reincarnation, whether there is a resurrect... of all that, becomes rather meaningless... if you don't know how to live. If the human being knows how to live in the world without conflict then death has quite a different meaning.

Music and Life

In music, one doesn't make the end of a composition the point of a composition! If that was so, the best conductors will be those who played fastest. And there will be composers who wrote only finales. People go to concert only to here one crushing call because that's the end.

But we don't see that as something brought by our education in to our everyday conduct. We got a system of schooling that gives a completely different impression.

It's all graded. And what we do, we put the child in to the corridor of this grade system with a kind of "come on... kitty kitty kitty!" And they are going to the kindergartner, and that's a great thing because when you finish that you go in the first grade, and then come on: first grade leads to second grade and so on, and then you get out of the grade-school and you got high-school, and it's raving up the thing is coming, then you go to college, and by jovian you get in to graduate-school and when you are threw with that you go out and join the world! Then you go in to some racket you are selling insurance, and they got that quarter to make, and you're gone make that, and all the time the thing is coming, is coming, is coming, that great thing, the success you were working for. And then when you wake up one day about 40" years old you say: "My gad have arrived!", "I'm there!". And you don't feel very different from what you always felted. And it is a slide "let down" because you feel it was a hoax, and it was a hoax! a dreadful hoax! they made you miss everything!

We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end and the thing was to get to that end, success or what ever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But.. we miss the point the hole way along! It was a musical thing and you was supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.

Culture is not your friend

What civilization is... is 6 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each others shoulders and kicking each others teeth in. It's not a pleasant situation and yet you can stand back and look at this planet and see that WE HAVE the power, the money, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise. BUT we are lead by the least among us, the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary... we are lead by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons...

Culture is not your friend! Culture is for other peoples convenient and convenient of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes, what have you. It is not your friend, it insults you, it dis-empowers you, it uses and abuses you, none of us are well treated by culture. Yet we glorify the creating potential of the individual, the rights of the individual, we understand the fell-presence of experiences and what is most important: The Culture Is a Perversion! It fetishaises objects, creates consumers mania, it preachers endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of swirly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines, mean processes...
