Understanding The Psychedelic Dream "States of Beingness"

Well, now is the time to understand that dream... lots from my regular life there. I see my mother and step-dad being mentioned... I see the 'cartoon controversy' which I have been following. Most of all, I see me looking around for some sort of inspiration, found in each scene. I can see that I find it in-

Entertaining people (the chef- socialising)
Getting to know my family better (the references to my mother)
Looking at flowers (the flower that shed it's petals- appreciating beauty and lifeforms very different to me.)
Journeys to the East / encountering the future (the exotic trip to Hong Kong)

Yet the one I found most inspiring was the last- the need to adapt, the paradoxical feeling of comfort to be found in something so new, is vivifying. I am thereby moving, on my own adventures, which is something different from watching others or communicating with them- both things which I enjoy immensely but not things that 'wake me up' in the same way. For me the lands of the East are exotic, unexplored (I say this even living in Japan), as is the future. Yet I need to work on communicating these experiences and values to others, on making them accessible. This adventure is part of a life which is just as much dependant on the other elements. On a trip one sees new places and faces, but also likes to talk about it with someone from a similar perspective, and to see beauty along the way.

It is my hope that this Blog- written as it is 'to everyone and no-one' will help me to communicate. For I obviously can't just blurt all this out to the people around me- it would sound strange, maybe even threatening, and certainly would be indigestible.

For what I am intending is to turn all these experiences, these experiences of what are for me 'nether regions', into stories, stories which teach better values. Then I am 'doing my bit', as nurses and doctors do theirs... So must a storyteller do his or hers. We storyteller-shaman are neither gone, nor forgotten... As the success of the likes of Spielberg and Lucas attests...
