Street Survey #37
Based on a true story ... not mine, somebody else's. A bright German woman called Maggie's story - whom i met randomly, non-sexually at a Nimbin campground in 2018.
Street-survey #37
Excuse me sir, my name’s Mike, i’m doing a survey on-
Fuck off dickhead
(crestfallen) Oohrrr …
(re-energized) Ah, excuse me madam how are you today?
Uhm, good. You?
I’m great, thanks! My name is Mike - if I could just get a minute of your time, I’m conducting a quick survey on-
Uhmmm, not really Mike. I’ve gotta ... What’s it about?
It’s about LSD
LSD?
If you’ve never taken it sorry for wasting your valuable time - just a few quick questions - actually only one
I see … so what was the question?
Some respondents report that from a pre-trip state of ah (leaf through interview notes) a nagging mess of details there came a revelation - changed my life is a common testament
Aha. What's the question?
The question is: Did- Can you remember how exactly you got from ahr (leaf through) conflicting influxes to the ah revelation bit? Was it a process? Did-
Hmm. Ok it happened … I don’t know … something happened that was already happening - i saw something that was already there - is that an option?
Fuck yeah, brilliant definition of a revelation! Was it a sudden thing?
Not really coz it comes with built-in familiarity. It’s ah not an arrow of time thing it’s an inkling inkled

That’s nice. Cut it could be said that’s like: everybody knows
Sure, that’s the point. Something opened-up that was already in full view
Ohr
But there’s vaguely knowing that while you’re busy doing other things ... then there’s plugging direct-into-the-conduit while high on LSD
Ok I see
Once you’re swimming in that pre-existence solution it’s like pick-a-problem - the dross flakes retrospectively off
A shape ripples through you into place
The ride - the vibe - from there is yeah … open sesame
