i just finished the book, and although it was interesting in its own way i really was not impressed with it that much. I think DP is a fake, a weasel, a selfish individual who has had his brain warped by so much use psychedelics in his life. DP cant stick to one thing.  any drug using society has the answers to the world, to him. he says how he wants the world to be and calls it a prophecy to serve his own selfish purpose. its like he's trying to start a cult, where he is god. he's an idiot.

Well, come on now. Don't you think your comment is a little bit out of balance? I can personally guarantee you DP doesn't think that he is god and he is certainly not trying to start a cult! Why are you so distraught and making personal attacks? Let's discuss the ideas. Besides, isn't it a tradition - especially during an election year - for people to express how they want the world to be? At least he's using a book and not guns to spread his ideas!

I think his book should speak what it has to say. and he should be able to say what he has to. A true philosopher should not have to read his own text to get the attention of the masses.

[tomsepe]

Well there is a difference between sharing and "trying to get the attention of the masses"... I see nothing wrong with an Author or Poet reading and sharing his work in a live setting - it is intimate and allows for dialog. And I don't see anything wrong with self-promotion... its necessary in our media saturated world!

[tomsepe]

he definitely not a fraud. he's a real person with real experiences and if you want to comment on the content of the video please do... but personal attacks, slander and insults I will delete.

To me, Daniel Pinchbeck serves as an "idea connector". He has intorduced me to so many different people and their works, as well as information pertaining to almost everything I'm interested in. He is nothing more than a man trying to make sense of this world. Reality is paradoxical by nature, so of course he contradicts himself. He never pretends to have all the answers, just ideas and speculation.

Yet the worse ones the whites encountered,and who were more demonic,were the blacks.

No,Questzacoatl is not the beast because he speaks of it and wants to kill it.

@tomsepe Lol, I dont think it is too out of balance, the drugs part maybe .... but come on, pinchbeck's claim to fame was on rolling stone where he was coined the next mckenna, hardly the case though, he lacks true wit like true psychedelic revolutionaries with his bland expose and uninteresting use of the language to depict his own rather bland ideologies ..... so no i dont think his comment was too out of balance ..... this is a 3year old comment though .. lol ..

[TheBlackholemessiah]

People!!! I strongly suspect Quetzacoatl is 'the dragon' the Great Beast!!! DUH!!! the mayans were demonic, they 'talked to devils'. if beast Europeans thought they were demonis, then,,,HOLY SHIT!!!!

Here we have a Trustfund reading in the Trustfund Capital of Capitalistic Delusion, san fransicko, speaking about the immortal Lineage of Great Artists, The Quetzalcoatl Lineage and proving that he is not an Artist, or in any way a creative writer or speaker. So how does he get published...Trustfund from the indulgent darkside.

[thepatient89]

he was dealt a good hand, playing it pretty well. could be much better though. we're running low on time.... except not. its an illusion

Do you want the preeminent Truth about 2012? watch my Profile vids..

[pzp886]

thats an interesting concept, that psychedelics warp a persons brain? i was always under the impression that they unwarp it from the percieved bondage of human existence

[chthonic19]

ugh! horrible audio and video. i would have been very interested in hearing pinchbeck read.

[Mangravyonherface]

I made a type it's beast not best.

[Mangravyonherface]

Pinchbeck said that the vehicle notes that his birthday falls in June 1966. 666, Count the number of the best for it is the number of a man. So let me get this straight, he thinks Quetzalcoatl used him as a vehicle and that he's the Antichrist. It sure as hell sounds like it. I think the drugs are making him delusional, no disrespect.
