William S. Burroughs on Dreams (EKF)

[censusgray]

This is breathtaking. Thanks for the upload.

[mcrhythm2]

Wow!

[kklein25]

Burroughs counted racism as one of society's dangerous addictions. He did use politically incorrect words, though. Give him a break. He was born in 1914.

He also refused to ever change for anyone. He was an honest-to-god freak his whole life. The real deal, like an alien from another planet.

who would dislike this? Oh I know, someone who lacks the simple thought to understand the depth of their space time location... :)

Interesting note about Monroe's machines. There are machines that can cause 'externalization' -  astral projections. I know because I helped build one. They use arrays of crystals and magnets, and can be enhanced with electronics. With it, someone without much psychic ability can project like the pros. Trouble is it can attract some bad attention from people and entities who don't want the public - the livestock - to have access to these abilities

Respond to this video...

[geekfreaklover]

Actually you're all wrong - He says 'negra' - Burroughs was from St Louis.

[theoriginal72]

@geekfreaklover

I'm from St. Louis and I've never heard the word "negra".

[oldjizzy]

Some of you aren't kidding, whoever fucked this up with that dumbass music, needs to take it off this. Christ.

[oldjizzy]

@dontreadimpished "negro" but very quick, hard for most to tell.

[oldjizzy]

@ charm . Very nice posts. I also can command about half of my dream sequences. Trying to see my hands , I haven't thought of. Although in some of my more vivid recollections, I DO remember being able to see and work my hands on something. Whether human or inanimate. I slao have had many instances where I can almost awaken, yet order myself back to the last dream, to in some way continue. It's bizzare how and why one does this. Most people never say they do this. I guess there's an intellect?

[JoeyTHEArms]

He says negro... not ni**er

[kitsune2323]

@JoeyTHEArms Nope! He dropped the N-Bomb. He was old school and gave no more shits than a honey badger on meth.

[JoeyTHEArms]

@kitsune2323 I think your right

[mrcvxxi]

omg, did he say troubadour?!!!

[thecrimsonfloyd]

This is incredible, It's completely different from Burroughs' usual stuff, though I like his normal writings alot... did he ever write anything exclusively on the subject of dreams?

[torisdad99]

@thecrimsonfloyd The book "My Education" is almost entirely taken directly from his dream journals.

[clizzleable]

wind sounds ruin it

[AquarielCharm]

"For this reason, it is essential your sleep is undisturbed by intrusive noise or by nightmares resulting from harmful impressions received during the day. There's an old French saying: ‘Night brings counsel’. Your Astral body transfers to its Higher Self all the sensations that are experienced during a lifetime in a physical body. These sensations pass through the immense ‘filter’ of 9Higher-selves before arriving in the etheric ‘ocean’ that surrounds our Spirit." Read the book 4 the rest.

[gonefilming]

@AquarielCharm will do!

[AquarielCharm]

It isn’t only the cerebral canal which is able to conduct messages between the Higher Self and the Astral body. Another channel exists sometimes in dreams - or, I should even say, in sleep. At certain times during sleep, your Higher Self is able to call your Astral body to itself and, either communicate instructions or ideas, or to regenerate it in some way, replenishing its spiritual strength or enlightening it in regard to solutions to important problems.

[AquarielCharm]

It is capable of curing illness & even resuscitating the dead, & much more. We are in constant communication with our Higher Self by means of our cerebral canal. Acting as a transmitting & receiving post, it conducts special vibrations directly between our Astral body & your Higher Self. Our Higher Self monitors you continually, by day & by night & can intervene to save you from an accident if it's not your time to go. (Now here's the most fascinating part).

[AquarielCharm]

remains integral to the central entity. ‘Further, the Higher Self is a ninth part of a superior Higher Self which, in turn, is a ninth part of a more superior Higher Self. The process continues as far back as the source, & allows the enormous filtration of spiritual experience required by the Spirit. ‘You must not think that the Higher Self of the first category is insignificant in comparison with the others. It functions at a lower level, but is nevertheless extremely powerful & important.

[AquarielCharm]

I'd like to share en excerpt from this book: "Our bodies are comprised on what is called the Astral body, which forms one ninth of the essential human being and consists of one ninth of a ‘Higher self’, which is sometimes called ‘overself'. The Higher Self of man is, in other words, an entity that sends one ninth of itself into a human body, becoming the person’s Astral being. Other physical bodies are inhabited, similarly, by other ninths of the same Higher Self and yet each part - cont'd

[AquarielCharm]

I see my hands in dreams often, just last night in fact, I was going to look that up at the dreammoods website. I like Poa Alpina, tis so haunting. I became most curious at 7:01 the observers being observed to infinity. This reminds me of our astral body & higher selves I read this from a fascinating book called "The Thiaoouba Prophesy" and you can read it free online although they will ask why you can't buy the book. I did, it's like my bible now, just fascinating. cont'd...

[DiamondSuccubus]

Omfg! If you watched this and all you got out of it was the word, "Negro" then you seriously need a reality check. This man was not raised in our time so the "N" word he used was what was said during his childhood/adolescence & ya, it was, "Negro". But, who cares what slang terminology he used, when the whole subject of this particular lecture/topic is such a brilliant one as this?

[StaleenWeb]

Word Play. Get over the racial stuff. He's fucked more black guys than you've even met hahaha

[TheHumansight]

don't worry, kids. he actually said NIGGA. which makes it ok.

[vudu8ball]

Loved the visuals very appropriate to the material.  I believe Lineus Pauling dreamed the structure of the carbon molecule.

[Patricklucey5]

Thanks.

[dwidsid3d]

WHERE IS OLD BULL LEE RIGHT NOW?

[Hapworth1924]

@dwidsid3d uncle bill is somewhere in interzone, and i dont think he's coming back sadly

[globbo100]

Yes, I'm pretty sure he let slip the word, "nigger".Now, think what you want of that.

[SirZacheriah]

I think their is some ambiguity on that. He grew up when that word was used frequently. He's not a bigot.

[troublesaway]

@globbo100 he said Negro. it may sound like "nigrah" because of his accent, but thats what he said. and yes, i will think what i want, as im sure you will too.

[cakinosala]

pekne si sa vyhral s tym videom.)

[blacknight1331]

For anyone who is familiar with darren solomon's 'in bflat' project, try it out while playing this video. Syncs perfectly

DMT is indeed a biological necessity. The human brain produces it in small doses (including the moments of birth and death according to some doctors) and wouldn't be able to function without it.

[waltzingpeter]

@fivetonsofflax have you read the book by strassman? if not i think you'll like it

[Orgonebox4u]

THx Stringler fore finding this vid on your site and Thx Tentakler fore the upload

[stringlur]

cool video, thanks

also, I'm pretty sure he said negro, not nigger

and as far as DMT goes, it's not a biologic necessity, just a short cut. Like Burroughs said, "you gotta learn to make it without the chemical corn"

[aintpluggedin]

yes

[superfuzzymomma]

Very, Very well done!

Long live Mr. Burroughs!

[Lion117]

DMT IS a biological Necessity ! :|
