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  

The central point was simple   Nature is a pattern  we’re part of it.     Everything’s connected 

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
