NOW SERVING Psychedelic Culture
Gnostic-pop musician Ben Lee has found God–or maybe the Goddess–and to the consternation of many cultural guardians, he’s found her at the bottom of a cup of ayahuasca.
Rural Georgia, no sidewalks and ambiguous speed limits, the cars that pass come quick and careless, and I have 2 miles left to go to get to the nearest store, a gas station at the end of the street.
We are being brought back down to earth by the zeitgeist that is upon us. As Jung says of neurosis, we can go where it’s taking us willingly and follow signs and dreams, or be dragged there unwillingly by symptoms and consequences.
The desire to find a higher purpose is the same desire that draws people to join cults. If an
individual is more inclined to lead than to follow, he can start his own

A quick walk has me in the middle of an intricate solar system stenciled into the grain at a prehistoric ritual site. All mysteries lend themselves to detective work, and this year's crop formations, seventy in this area alone, presents a cryptic metaphysical riddle.
It has been 40 years since the fabled Apollo moon landings. For as many years, there's also been a controversy between those who accept the landings as legitimate, and those who believe they were faked.
