Speaking in Tongues
And what they meant was use your voice to make an object. And
as I understood, I felt a bubble kind of grow inside of me. And
I watched these little elf tykes jumping in and out of my chest;
they like to do that to reassure you. And they said, 'Do it.'
And I felt language rise up in me that was unhooked from english,
and I began to speak..like this, 'Ehh yo ca dem wa, etc...or
words to that effect. And I wondered then what it all meant and
why it felt so good if it didn't mean anything. And I thought
about it, a few years actually, and I decided that meaning and
language are two different things. And that what the alien
voice in the psychedelic experience wants to reveal is the
syntactical nature of reality. That the real secret of magic is
that the world is made of words, and that if you know the words
that the world is made of you can make of it whatever you wish.
(More unintelligible tongue here..) And one of the things that I
learned about DMT was that if you've ever had it, even just once,
then you can have a dream, and in this dream somebody will pull
out a little glass pipe, and then it will happen! It will happen
just like the real thing. Because there's a button somewhere
inside each and every one of us that gives you a look into the
other side. And that's the button that resets the compass that
tells you where you want to sail. Good luck...
