    That last moment will be like the crack of dawn; filled with promise but also foreboding as no-one knows what will be happening.

    All I hope for is a gentle let down...

    And that me undies aren't on too tight; don't want no scrotum stick as I'm pondering eternity!

    Terence - he ain't nothin but a zombie-brained drug guzzlin hippy. He dern't know nothin 'bout nothin. I reckon if'n my name was "Terence" 'n a bunch of good 'ol boys is whompin the tar outa me makin me bleed through my eye-sockets 'n earholes fer having a queer-sissy name, I might turn to drugs like this here sad sack did.....................On a second ponder, nope, not drugs, JESUS!

    'ol Terence shoulda turned to God, and forsaken that Devil-Dust. But, Terence - he ain't strong. He's a weaklin. His paps shoulda kicked the tar out of 'em....well, dern't his paps run off with some whore 'er whatnot?

    Well death is definitely the BIg Sleep that no amount of caffeine will postpone. But don't be scared, we just return to the star dust that made us in the first place.

    Jesus, if for real, was nothing but hippy. Every second or third word Love or Peace.

    My brother was already living in Berkeley at the time, going to school, and I had my first LSD experience that summer. There were many drugs around and a lot of experimentation but the one that emerged as significant for us was DMT. It was rare even then, but for some reason it crossed our paths and we agreed it was the quintessential psychedelic. It only lasts maybe twenty minutes but it's a full-on psychedelic experience, very intense, and really like a completely different reality.

    When you take DMT in the smokable form you can hear something. It's very hard to characterize it. Some people say it's like tinkling bells, some people say it's like crumpling cellophane, some people say it's more of an electronic buzz inside your head; but you can definitely hear something. We found that if you listen, you can actually imitate the sound with your voice. At a certain stage you find you lock onto this tone and it starts pouring out of you. It's like you can't stop really, like your mouth goes wider than it should be able to and your tongue sticks out and this ululating howl comes out.

    Systems, scientific and philosophic, come and go. Each method of limited understanding is at length exhausted. In its prime each system is a triumphant success: in its decay it is an obstructive nuisance.

    Nonsense you hillbilly dim wit. There is no god, no jesus, no devil, no 'after life' We are here alone and doomed to die a miserable and painful death.

    So your praying and worshiping is just a complete waste of time my good man. In fact it is actively making you dumber than you are, and by golly that is dumb enough!

    I ain't dumb. I'm saved! Dern't know ware I go 'tware my bones git back ta God's earth, but it ain't ware you is goin. Nosiree - I'm gonna be in a peaceful place with the Lord. God Bless.
