The Sixties - Part Two

September 15, 2021

The world is becoming increasingly psychedelic by the day. Whether you choose to imbibe any mind-altering elixirs, you’re still swimming in the same psychic soup as the rest of us, and that soup is fast approaching the boiling point.

In other words, it’s no longer necessary to go looking for some exotic brew to participate in the unprecedented transformation of consciousness that is unfolding. It has arrived on everyone’s doorstep, no matter your age, ethnicity, income, political persuasion, religious beliefs, or any other character details.

As the rampant pace of technology disrupts every industry and extreme weather events threaten our homes and families are torn apart over vaccines, people are having to make existential decisions about which reality tunnel they will inhabit—one that is more fear-based and controlling or one that is more loving and surrendered to the flow of cosmic energies.

In 2019, I wrote that “we’re in the beginning stages of a consciousness revival that will make the ’60’s look like a straight-laced, corporate meeting.” Maybe more people would agree with me now that we’re in 2021.

What in God’s name will the world look like in 2023? Or 2025? 2027? 2029? I submit that by the end of this vastly important decade, the “counterculture” will have prevailed—values that were once considered bohemian will overwhelmingly predominate in the collective psyche.

That’s because humanity is on its deathbed, facing the heavy philosophical implications of its own possible extinction. And when you’re on your deathbed, the universal response is to let go of the trappings of ego in favor of something larger. This is the essence of the psychedelic experience, the ancient Mystery School initiations, the mental health metamorphosis process I call Sacredphrenia, the “coming home to true Self” that is real gnosis.

It is on the other side of this experience that rebirth happens—the ecstatic realization that death does not actually exist. As the world deepens in its chaos, we are each invited to come to this realization in our own individual timing. When enough of us realize this, society will transform in fundamental ways.

Sixty years after the Sixties, we get to do it all over again. Only this time, we have the internet and a once-in-a-billion-years apocalypse to transform our consciousness like never before.
