McKenna (11)

Hello, Sundaze in Springshine , we near the end of McKenna's True Hallucinations with another two great chapters. There's an embedded video that shows McKenna taking us on a journey into the alchemical renaissance of King Frederick V and his wife Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. Playing the role of John Dee, court magician for Queen Elizabeth of England, Terence McKenna shows us how the promise of a return to the tradition of alchemy was almost instituted in Europe. There's on obscure video from the good old days, before NWO started it's power grab after the JFK assasination, and mindexpansion became a danger to them. After all you can distort and control the truth on this plane, so keeping people away from the other sides is essential. Not that they understand much of it, most are as brainwashed as the rest of us, but these people have a control obsession, so the least they can do is to make anything they can't control illegal. Anyway it's a charming (naive) episode of the One Step Beyond series, The Sacred Mushroom, i'm sure it inspired Carlos Casteneda..1961 TV...The music component today is provided by Tetsu Inoue's and Pete Namlook in the guise of Shades Of Orion, a rarity that turned out something of a ambient classic..

Terence McKenna - The Alchemical Dream Rebirth of the Great Work

In the mid-1990's Terence McKenna and Mystic Fire's Sheldon Rocklin teamed up to make this rich and exciting film. Little did they know that this would be their last film. Filmed in Prague with Terence portraying his usual erudite rendition of the Irish Bard, this filmed classic takes us on a journey into the alchemical renaissance of King Frederick V and his wife Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. Playing the role of John Dee, court magician for Queen Elizabeth of England, Terence McKenna shows us how the promise of a return to the tradition of alchemy was almost instituted in Europe. He also shows us that this early attempt at the creation of an alchemical kingdom actually lead to the European Renaissance and the institution of Cartesian science and the beginnings of rationalism within the western mindset. This incredible film is not only beautifully filmed but is Terence McKenna s finest performance and a worthy eulogy to his genius.

Shades Of Orion - Shades Of Orion (93 ^ 136mb)

This had been released in a limited edition of 500 back in 1993. It is sold out since a long time and is one very rare collectors item. Meanwhile there are collectors who pay $ 100 and more for an original. This second collaboration of Pete Namlook and Tetsu Inoue is more moving than their deep chill work -2350 Broadway-. Its full of Ambient - sequences and deep basses as well as -space- and environmental sounds. Muted bleeps and beats with beds of subtle vocal textures, lovely airy atmospheres and synth melodies that gently spin in and out of your consciousness. If there's such a thing as softcore techno, this is it. Environmental sounds are also woven into the tapestry in a most subtle way, some processed and treated to the point where their source is rendered almost unrecognisable. Limited to 500 copies.
