Nice of you to remember us. Wuz thinking about Paul the other day. We
were riding bicycles and we saw the Tall Ships off Long Island. 

I would blow your minds in July and August, but could only rattle my
jewelry after that. Would not want to repeat my poor showing at the end
of the Vineland read.

The Way Out (The Resurrection of the Body) 


The path of sublimation, which mankind has religiously followed since
the foundation of the first cities, is no way out ... Mankind is
reaching the end of the road in the dominion of death-in-life. 

-- Norman O. Brown 



    The new civilization will not be another civilization. It will be an
open stretch of
    realisation which all the past civilisations have pointed to. The
city, which was
    the birth-place of civilization as we know it to be, will exist no
more. The
    people of the earth will no longer be shut off from one another
within states but
    will flow freely over the surface of the earth and intermingle.
Government will
    give way to management, using the word in a broad sense. The
politician will
    become as super-annuated as the dodo bird. The machine will never be
    dominated as some imagine; it will be scrapped, eventually, but not
before men
    have understood the nature of the mystery which binds them to their
creation.
    The worship, investigation and subjugation of the machine will give
way to
    the lure of all that is truly occult. This problem is bound up with
the larger one
    of power - and of possession. Man will be forced to realise that
power must be
    kept open, fluid and free. His aim will be not to possess power but
to radiate it.

 War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.
