FAR OUT IN AMERICA by Wolf Dieter Storl
 

Wolf Dieter Storl was too busy living the life to be influenced by Rolling Stone or Newsweek where some of us got the inclination to travel this fascinating but dangerous road.  Media-definition was more avoidable back then, so the young anthropologist lived amid the changes and opportunities with some sense of naivete.  

The word-smithing in this fine book is amazing.  A narrative of conscious adventure that will pull you in even if you weren't there.  I was there and I tell you Storl has written the definitive autobiography.     

Cosmic books show us how to act in an appropriate way to the source of consciousness at the center and origination of it all.  When there is a book about the best and worst of the 1960s counterculture it is astonishing when it's this well written without dogma.  Wolf experienced the era directly without being propagandized by Rolling Stone or The Hog Farm publications that was a handbook for so many of us.  Direct experience as a participant and influencer is a rare and worthwhile position in those days.  The same pure experience not orchestrated by media would be a good idea today.  Then tell your narrative as a truth to your spirit.

The young man was too busy living the life to read Rolling Stone or Newsweek.  Media-defined existence was more avoidable then than now.  But the young anthropology graduate arrived at Kent State as a teacher's assistant.  

Kent Stare,  1970.

FEW - - - as we say on Twitter 

Kent State, Viet Nam,  Tens of Thousands dead.  A program.

Today, thousands dead.  Tens of thousands among the walking dead.  A program.  

When will they ever learn?

That was a Twitter Tweet in a medium that shows similarity to the accelerated 'rapping' that we did in the 1960s.  I'm at the halfway point of Wolf's book now and he is moving to Kent State to teach.  This book is so good that I'm doing a review before finishing.  

So far, we have met Mircea Eliade, Timothy Leary, Owsley, and a host of other shamanic and consciousness researchers.  The lore of these times reached across a few months as oral teachings that we instructed when tripping.  

Important book because it takes a clinical approach that is also informed by the real experiences of a real man.  I was there right along with him but I was a few years younger and not at this advanced intellectual and emotional level.  This book is as much about the times and culture as any individual.

 

An important aspect that I can vouch for is the shallow, materialistic, and political far Left agendas of the university professors and administrators.  There was a subversion against us in the air and you could sense it.  Fortunately, the raising of Consciousness also raised us to the level where we could see that Bolshevism and nihilism had never been good for humanity.
