Drugs and the Alien
Influence on Musicians
I would love it if somebody
would put the energy into studying the mind and psychedelics to the extent
where we could start to talk about these things and somebody could even throw
forth a few suggestions as to what might be happening. There's no body of information
- we need more research. These are questions that we should be asking, this is
the important stuff. Grateful Dead Band Leader Jerry Garcia
One of the many songs that
have been identified as a song that may have been influenced by aliens is the 1970
Neil Young song “After the Gold Rush.”
The lyrics talk about a lying
in a burned out basement and having a dream where the sun bursts out during the
full moon. The lyrics indicate that the world has pillaged the environment and the
world is now in trouble – “Mother Nature on the run.” As the title implies the
world is at risk of becoming become like a gold rush town on a global scale. The
gold will run out and the world will become like a gold rush ghost town. In
Young song the silver saucers will then appear and take the chosen ones to
another planet – “a new home in the sun.” (There are a number of experiencers
who describe a similar rapture type event caused by environmental disaster.)
After the Gold
Rush
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.
Neil Young went on to
become a strong environmentalist. In a few days, in fact, he is now on a four
city concert tour of Canada to raise money for aboriginal groups fighting
against the Alberta oil sands development.
The message of the song is
similar to many messages brought back by experiencers who feel that the aliens
are telling us the ecology is in trouble. They report being shown scenes of
massive environmental disaster scenarios. To many experiencers the message is
very disturbing and many have become spokesperson for the environment.
Young has stated that he
did not know what After the Gold Rush message was. We know this because when
Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt recorded it in 1999 for their
collaboration trio, they got some unique insight into the song from the man who
wrote it. Parton said, "When we were doing the Trio album, I asked Linda
and Emmy what it meant, and they didn't know. So we called Neil Young, and he
didn't know. We asked him, flat out, what it meant, and he said, 'Hell, I don't
know. I just wrote it. It just depends on what I was taking at the time. I
guess every verse has something different I'd taken.'"
Young (as did many of the
top rock and roll stars) therefore admitted he was doing drugs when he wrote
the song and came up with the lyrics. The question therefore is where did the
alien and environmental messages come from?
He is not the only one.
Jerry Garcia, who like Young was a big environmentalist working to save the
rainforest talked about a DMT (known as the spirit drugs because people are
often greeted by alien of spirit type beings) experience in which he
encountered insect type humanoids. Garcia struggled with drugs his whole life,
and in fact died in a drug rehab unit. It was one of his DMT experiences that
he came up with the name “Grateful Dead” for the band during an DMT experience.
He described his alien DMT experience as follows,
I
had some very weird experiences. My main experience was one of furious activity
and tremendous struggle in a sort of futuristic, space-ship vehicle with insectoid
presences. After I came out of my coma, I had this image of myself as these
little hunks of protoplasm that were stuck together kind of like stamps with
perforations between them that you could snap off. (laughter)
They
were run through with neoprene tubing, and there were these insects that looked
like cockroaches which were like message-units that were kind of like my
bloodstream. That was my image of my physical self and this particular feeling
lasted a long time. It was really strange.[1]
Sting from the band Police tells almost the exact
experience. During an ayahausca experience in Brazil he recounts his hallucinogenic experience in
the Brazilian rainforest back in the 80's. He says he had an experience of
playing a frightening game of chess with a sensual beautiful insect like
"humanoid" being, who played very aggressively. Sting was beaten
badly and went on to form the rainforest foundation and has now saved an
estimated 28 million acres of rainforest from clear cut destruction.[2]
This experience matches research done by abduction
researcher John Mack who wrote a whole chapter in his book "Passport to
the Cosmos” about shaman Dr. Bernardo Peixoto who operates in the Brazilian
rainforest. Bernardo talks about his experiences in shamanism and how shamans
not only contact spirit beings and animal totems and the like, but also how
they contact "star people" or people from "outerspace".
They do this through their shaman experiences, which include taking hallucinogenic
(ayahausca) drugs. Bernardo. like Sting, calls called them "humanoid"
and the description matches Sting’s description. Like Sting Bernardo has an
interest and commitment to help save the rainforests of Brazil.
The fourth musician that could be added to these
examples is Bob Dylan who is described in Wikipedia as “American musician,
singer-songwriter, artist, writer, and an influential figure in popular music
and culture for more than five decades.” It was Dylan who became the figurehead
for the counterculture of the 1960s. His songs such as "Blowin' in the
Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin“ became anthems for the US
civil rights and anti-war movements in America.
Dylan had a UFO experiencer side as well. Often
quoted are the lines from "10,000 Men" from the "Under A Red
Sky" album "10,000 women in my room, Spilling my buttermilk, Sweeping
it up with a broom." The line can easily be interpreted as a sperm sample
being taken.
Then like Young, Sting, and Garcia, Dylan was
described as an “enthusiastic consumer of illegal substances. It may have been
their role as role models for a 1960s and 1970s counterculture where drugs were
seen as part of the glamorous life style of the rock and roll bands.
The last example I will refer to from what is a very
long list is John Lennon of the Beatles who did his share of drugs, had at
least one close encounter UFO experience that he spoke of in public, was an avid
consumer of UFO materials, and was a leader in the social activist counter
culture fighting against the war in Vietnam and providing an anthem for the
movement with his song ‘Give Peace a Chance.” He also was a strong supporter of
the feminist, the importance of love, and civil rights movements.
The Road to
a Conclusion
The influence of drugs has always seen as a drawback
to having a firm grip on reality. The drug experience is usually referred to as
an hallucination implying that it is devoid of reality.
The truth of the situation may be exactly the
opposite, especially with DMT which is called the spirit molecule because of
the Godlike near death experience qualities to the experience. Terrance McKenna
aptly called DMT the ultimate metaphysical reality pill.
The DMT experience (and other drugs used for
experience) may actually heighten the scope of reality, opening up levels or
realms not visible to the normal physical world as we understand it.
Terrance McKenna who was revered in the drug culture
of the last half of the 20th century, spelled out this theory about
opening up higher realities when he came up with a theory on how religions were
formed. Basically, McKenna stated that in the hunter/gathering days, people
would come across psychedelic elements in nature like magic mushrooms which
they consumed.
This led to them being exposed to higher levels of
reality such and the fact that the material world is an illusion and that there
are many apparently non-physical realms. The same awareness can be seen in
people who would fall into the “UFO experiencer” category.
In the same way that the four musical artists seemed
to have both drugs and an apparent UFO experience stories, they all shared
something else with the non-rock and roll experiencers.
Harvard psychiatrist John Mack and the man who set
the UFO experiencer movement on fire Whitely Strieber describe an awakening to
the environment, the importance of love, and an awakening to various social
issues that becomes a driving life force inside the person. They suddenly experience
a huge upsurge in subjects like nuclear proliferation, the environmental
decline of the world, saving the whales or the ocean, social injustices, and
the senselessness of war.
The world of 2014 is totally unlike the world in the
1960s before. The protection of the environment and the fact that each
individual’s actions affect the whole of society or the world are now far gone
conclusions. African Americans can now use the same washrooms as whites. The
nuclear arms race now seems like a stupid idea of our ancestors. Gays are no
longer considered individuals who should be converted or locked up, and it is
no longer seen as unpatriotic to oppose war.
Rock Star,
Environment, and Social Causes
This rise in social consciousness starting in the
1960s was all generated by the young and their musical idols. Looking back it
appears that many of those key musical icons had UFO and drug experiences.
The use of drugs by the musicians seemed to allow a
break through past the veil and allowed a download of information contained in
the universal hologram. (This assumes that the idea that the one of the main
elements of the universe is collection of information and that this
information, as first proposed by Rupert Sheldrake, is downloadable through
what he calls the morphogenetic field. Others might call this the universal
consciousness or the akashic record.)
One of the things that they appeared to bring back from
the hologram was an increased consciousness on social and environment issues
which are issues that are also near and dear to the alien experiencer message
as well.
In doing this article it became apparent that
musicians involved in the alien music thing are heavily either strong
environmentalists, involved with social issues, or both. Those pushing the
alien ideas are also working to end nuclear proliferation (Bono, Bob Dylan),
the environmental decline of the world such as the rain forest (Jerry Garcia,
Sting, Neil Young, Michael Jackson, Olivia Newton John, Peter Gabriel, Mike
Pinder from Moody Blues, Muse),or busy trying to save the whales (Jon Anderson
from Yes) the ocean (Anthony Kiedis from
Chili Peppers) or animals (Olivia Newton John, Nina Hagen), social injustices
(Young, Lennon, Dylan), the senselessness of war (Young, Lennon, Newton John,
Pinder), world poverty (Bono, Gabriel), children (David Bowie), disaster relief
(Sammy Hagar, Jon Anderson). Many did the drugs but were at the same time busy
saving the world – which leads to the question of whether or not we would have
had a rise in environmental and socials concerns consciousness without
psychedelic drugs.
Would we have developed increased social justice,
less tolerance for war, a world where protection of the environment is a
serious consideration in development decisions, and a world where at least in
theory love triumphs the need to hate without drugs and extraterrestrial
actions? Would the politicians have stepped up to the plate to change the law
without the protests of hundreds of thousands of newly enlightened youth on the
Washington Mall demanding action?
I think not. So where do we go from here?
I think two critical issues need further study, as
both have been grossly or totally ignored in the past. I sense that study in
these two critical areas may just provide us the insight into Mark Twain’s
quote about the two most important days in a person’s life – the day you are
born and the day you find out why.
1.
Controlled
research should be made legal into N-Dimethyltryptamine -DMT. This should be
done clinically in a strict but open manner, without starting with the premise
that the world will come to an end if such research is done. DMT is the key
component to test as there are repeated claims that this “spirit molecule” can
break through the veil or rip away the filters that separate us from our single
layered materialistic reality, giving as some have described 1,000 years of
experience in 15 minutes. DMT may provide the password to the internet of
ultimate reality.
If the claims are right
then this will provide a method of logging into the information and
interacting with other angels, entities, and beings that make up the holographic
universe. This knowledge can be used to man’s benefit. No study of conscious is
complete without a study and discussion of this substance. No full
understanding of the UFO phenomena can be complete without an understanding of
the universe that this molecule opens up. Here is a documentary describing DMT
and the research that has been done.
2.
A careful study
should be conducted related to people who claim to have had UFO abduction. At
the present moment there have been many regressions but the information is not
universally accessible, and it appears that the beliefs of the regressionists
are tainting the conclusions.
This new study
should center on only one key question that I believe should always be
asked in the regression. The question is “at and point in the past did you
agree to being part of this abduction experience?” The figures that have been
put out by Mary Rodwell and Dolores Cannon indicate that the answer to the
question will be 100% yes. This is significant because Rodwell and Cannon have done
many thousands of regressions indicating they are developing their conclusions
from a very large sampling of data.
I fully believe that
getting people to explain why they said yes will end up answering almost every
question as to what the UFO phenomena is all about.
PS
It should be noted that an answer to the reality of the
Universe and the UFO phenomena are not a necessity. It is the journey and the
lessons we learn along the road that are important. Keep in mind that if the
Universe would have considered it important for you to know everything, it
would have made those answers available. If the pilots of the UFOs wanted you
to know where they are from and what they are doing they would land on the
White House lawn and make a speech. As the UFO occupants also told Police
Officer Herbert Schirmer "We want
you to believe in us, but not too much..."
These mysteries have been withheld from us. It is part of the overall plan. We were forced to
cross Lethe, the river of forgetfulness. We have been cut off from the higher
realities, and left in dense physical world with a limited view. Our job is to experience.
learn, and earn our way back. We are as described in almost every spiritual
tradition in school to learn lessons. They are ours to learn, and as many
experiencers have been told by their alien encounters “It wouldn’t be much of a
lesson if we gave you the answers.”
The problem comes from the fact that we have been
schooled in the western mentality of reality. Because of this we have played
the game of consumerism. Now that we have the big house and the two cars we
seek more. We are from the materialist west that has severed itself from its
spiritual self. We want more and we want it yesterday.
We seek more so like the rich of the 19th
century who set up séances as part of their weekly social calendar, or as
entertainment to fill the void.
It is the lessons of the journey that matter. It
doesn’t matter if we get disclosure or an answer to the UFO phenomena. The
Universe and the aliens are preventing disclosure for good reason. What is
important is discovering why we were born, what lessons the aliens are here to
teach, and how we can use what we learn to make the world a better place for
ourselves and others.
I think the important message of the musicians who
seemed to experience the world of the UFO occupants and the world of drugs is
how they employed what they experienced in to the world. They used what they
learned to try and help others through the many causes they supported. Looking
at these causes we can learn what is important in life and what things in the
world need help from us.
The musicians also brought the message of love,
which seems to be the key message both of the Universe and the UFO occupants.
The message seems to be there is no time, space, gravity, good, or bad. There
is just fear and love and we should move towards love. That is a message that
seems to cross the worlds of UFO experience, DMT experience, intense spiritual
experiences, and near death experiences. UFO experiencer Troggs band lead
singer Reg Presley summed it up in the title of his 1967 “Love is All Around.”
