Archaic Revival (Intro)

from Archaic Revival LP by Mike Dragon

lyrics

“Citizens don’t take psychedelics because it’s illegal.
Neither do marionettes, neither do robots.
None of these well-behaved and mechanistic/reductionist images of humanity take psychedelics.
Because it’s ‘misbehaven”.
‘Misbehaving’ is a great Sin, in fact it’s enshrined as the first sin,
when we regard the psychedelic issue was there in Eden
and somebody misbehaved
and then they got ‘tossed out forever and their children’s children
into the chaos of history,’
It’s interesting to read in Genesis why this was,
It was because ‘they will because become as We Are,’ says Yahweh
‘They will become as we are if they eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge’.

I suggest to you that this is precisely what we should seek to do.

We empower our experience by insisting on our authenticity,
It’s a wonderful thing to able to learn to be able to stand up and yell ‘Bullshit’.

So, this whole effort to being the psychedelic experience back into prominence is an effort to empower individuals and to get them to see that we are bled of our authenticity by ‘Vampire-ish Institutions’ that will never, of their own accord, leave us alone,
There must be a moment when the machinery,
and the working of the machinery become so odious that
people are willing to stride forward and throw sand on the track,
and force a re-evaluation of the situation…

What happens when you smoke DMT is there’s an initial kind of
‘hand-shaking confusion’
like when two computers meet and exchange protocol.
There’s a 30-second period where everything sort of gets “sorted out”
and this thing forms, like a Mandala,
I call it ‘the Chrysanthemum’
It’s like I’m sitting there and suddenly I realize

“Oh my God…it’s coming at me. It’s 100 miles wide, it’s 10 miles high
and it’s just rolling toward me, it looks…and I barely have time to lay down
That’s how fast it…and a voice said so:

‘Get prepared, the storm is about to hit the beach…”
