ESTIMATED PROPHETS by Fresno Bob

Lyrics:

THE WORLD WILL ROLL IN ECSTASY AT YOUR FEET
“You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” (John Perry Barlow reading Kafka)
A CYNICAL POINT OF VIEW (FRANK ZAPPA)
“I take a very simple point of view, i think that being cynical is a positive value, i think that nobody should trust anybody else, I think that all people are asshole until proven different and I think that if you take that point of view you ‘ll be disappointed less in life. Don’t expect friends, don’t expect fun, don’t expect a good life, don’t expect anything and if you get something is a bonus.”—"I think that lot of what i’m doing is space time reporting, I see something and I report what I’ve seen based on my point of view. My point of view is not a normal point of view and I tell people about what I see, they can agree with it, they can say is bullshit, however, I don’t care.”
NOTHING EXISTS BUT THOUGHTS (PETER SJOSTEDT)
“Through psychedelics one frequently gains a match heightened appreciation of the worth of nature and the beauty and value of her creatures, even one such experience can make a person more conscious and concerned with the ecology of our planet. So I say psychedelics should once more be taken seriously and intellectual and aesthetic instruments that can help us understand not only what consciousness is but what we humans really are and what we can became in our relation to the wonder that is nature”—“My visible impressions were dazzling and apparently magnified, I heard distinticvly every sound in the room..I lost all connection with external things..I existed in a world of newly connected and newly modified ideas..With the most intense belief and prophetic manner, I exclaimed Nothing exists but thoughts!—the universe is composed of impressions, ideas, pleasures and pains!"
THE GREATES GIFTS (TIMOTHY LEARY)
“Five years ago in Mexico I took mexican mushrooms the so called magic mushrooms in Mexico and I learned more about my brain and its possibilities and learned more about psychology in the five hours after taking this mushrooms that I had in the preceding 15 years studying and doing research in psychology and since that day I’ve done practically nothing except to continue this exploration that was triggered off by this accidental experience”—“I finding out where the range limits of consciousness and attempting to devolop maps and lenguages for charting this incredible realms in our own skull it’s not just of what’s going on around you inside of you but also consciousness of where you came from and the long telephone wire of history which goes back 2 billions years which is varied somewhere inside your brain an mine. We are neurologically and volcanic in touch with thousands generations that came before us”
ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE HIGH (JOHN SINCLAIR)
“If you are really against drugs and people getting high, you better not watching anymore movies or listening anymore records because all those people are high”—“I don’t like to say this to swallow my head but i was one of the founders of the marijuana legalization movement, I came right after Allen Ginsberg and Edward Sanders back in 1965. I was attacked by the police mostly for being an advocate of marijuana legalization also I was the manager of a rock and roll band called the MC5, we were against the war and we were against the goverment”—“My basic principle is do what you want to and don't do what you don't want to. Find out how to do it and then do it. That' me, that's happiness to me”
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE (GRAHAM NASH)
“Pot put you on the other side of anything, meaning that if you were looking at a situation and you looked at it from this side and that was your mindset, after you smoke dope you had the ability to remain on this side of it but also travel to the other side of the situation and look at it from a totally different perspective. It opened up for me a vast areas of new thinking, it broke me free of a mindset that was nor healthy, of one-sided viewpoint that was unhealthy, it allowed me to see around things rather than just at it and it was a very valuable perspective to me.”
REJECT AUTHORITY, TRUST YOURSELF (TERENCE MCKENNA)
“Try a waterfall, a mushroom or a mountain wilderness or a storm-pounded seashore, this is where the action is, knowledge is provisional and we are yet to approach even the first moment of civilized understanding. The way it is to be done is by trusting yourself, trusting your intuition, reject authority is a lie and an abomination, authority will lead you into ruin”—“This whole effort to bring the psychedelic experince back into prominence is an effort to empower individuals and it’s not done through organizing, its not done though vanguard parties or cadres of intellectual elites, it’s done through just walking away from all of that, claiming your identity, your vision your being your intuition and then acting from that without regret”
FREEDOM OF THE INDIVIDUAL (DENNIS HOPPER)
“People talking about freedom not being free, but telling you they are free and everything is great, but they are really a herd , they are a group and they all dress alike and they talk alike, they look alike, they love alike, they hate alike, they are all alike. I’m talking about individual freedom, freedom of the individual. They are not free individuals they are a herd, who are constricted and hate anything, any kind of change.”—“Everybody in the world like you know deals pushes something and so when you sell something you become corrupt in some ways I mea nit doesn’t matter whether you cheat a little on your income or whatever when you are corrupt you are corrupt, and a man who becomes productive is corrupt, a man who is creative is like a child”
TIME SEEMS TO SLOW DOWN (HOWARD MARKS)
“My first recreational drug was marijuana, I fairly enjoyed it , I laught a lot, time seems to slow down so there is more of it, I just liked the entire experience, I knew that was illegal of course buti t didn’t bother me, I enjoyed it so much I ended up smoking pot all days and be stoned all day. Then acid came along while still legal when I took it everyday for a year in 1965 it’s not really, it wasn’t then, a recreational drug it’s almost some kind of celebral masturbation”—"Since that first joint, really felted the law prohibitive people from smoking marijuana was fondamentally wrong and sinister, I still believe that and I believed all my life”
