Produktbeschreibung

"It was 1966 and the Counterculture that spawned all forms of protest concerning Vietnam, race relations, sexual mores, women's rights and traditional authority was in full swing, with Timothy Leary forming the League for Spiritual Discovery, and proclaiming LSD a "holy sacrament" to protect its use as a legal practice under the guise of "freedom of religion." It was a time of experimental explorations into the mind and higher dimensions of space-time, when The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead was the psychoactive research standard for intellectual "tripmakers" who worshiped Aldous Huxley and carried his Doors of Perception as a church usher wields his Bible. It was a time when the intellectual youth of America turned away from the chaotic and confusing external world they knew and looked inward for the real answers." [Foreword by Ojo Blacke]

Mind and Reality is a step-by-step analysis of the limits of human comprehension of the external world in terms of three-dimensional space and linear time to fully establish the fact that space and time are not physical properties of the external world but merely "internal" categories of thought and perception that impose on the external world these conditions. The "real world" exists without space and time. This little book represents an actual philosophical system of thought designed to elevate one's thinking and, ultimately, result in a radically different way of "seeing" and "touching" the external world not merely with the five physical senses but with that mysterious Sixth Sense or Third Eye known as the Human Mind...

Autorenporträt

Over 57 years ago there was this weathered tin sign covered with a thick grainy coat of dull leaf-green paint. It was riveted onto two rusty wrought-iron beams that pierced the earth four feet apart and at a forty-five degree angle. It faced inward from the right-hand side of a lonely stretch of road. Kings Road at this western end was eerily darkened even in daylight by thick foliage, arched by twisted branches that reached across like elongated deformed fingers. They were entwined and intensely clutched at each other high above the middle of the road between two densely wooded flanks. This road once bled off old Route 22 near Lehigh County in northeastern Pennsylvania and today rolls down the western edge of the Tremont Public Housing Project. The sign, once rising to almost six feet, stood little more than five above ground by the mid-1940s. The relentless downward pull of gravity had gradually sucked its browned metal legs into the grimy rain-soaked mud of a hundred years of April torrents. It was embossed with thick reflector-white Highway Gothic lettersW E I R S K I Nspelling out the oddly discomfiting name of a rather tiny town this peculiar organic-tunnel road led into. The name on this sign was emblazoned with two more letters (not sanctioned by Weirskin City Planners, of course), a D and an S, smeared in crimson red paint to produce an even more curious word:

W i e r D s k i n S.

The sign and that particular section of road no longer exist. They were both washed away long ago by the Makittan River Flood of 1946.

Why W i e r D s k i n S ?

As for Weirskin's first official town-outskirts sign, its defacement back in 1934 was believed by some to be the handiwork of vandals crudely referencing the unusual story of Pete Donegan, a local trapper who was said to have caught several unknown species of creatures possessing a thick scaly skin. He discovered their lifeless bodies from time to time in traps he set in Hackers Woods on the eastern side of that long departed section of Kings Road, less than a quarter mile from where the sign once stood. By 1931 it was rumored that Pete had skinned at least fifteen of the creatures and sold nearly all of the hides to Oslo Bender of Oslo's Oddities, a travelling museum and the main attraction at Catz Carney's Carnival. None of the hides were ever recovered and Pete himself was found dead less than a year later inside the Woods Hollow, torn to pieces by some savage an...
