Rudy's Blog Today I’m posting the text of my story, “Laser Shades” for your holiday reading pleasure. The story was commissioned for The Superlative Light, a photo book by Robert Shults, but it has not been otherwise published as yet. Two news items before my story. The writer and columnist Damien Walter posted “Let the Strangeness In,” a good interview/discussion about transrealism between me and Monica Byrne, author of the excellent novel The Girl In The Road. And, on the same day, synchronistically enough, my film-maker friend Edgar Pêra posted Trans-Realist Maniphesto a video from Lisbon, 1994, with me and good old Terence McKenna. And now…on with the show.. If you want, you can listen to the story online while you read it. Podcast: Play in new window | Download “Laser Shades,” oil on canvas, February, 2014, 24” x 20”. Adrian was entranced by Carla. This was a nice club, on Austin’s merry Sixth Street, out towards the dark end of the spectrum. “Did you hear what Adrian said, Jack?” “Pocket stars?”
Philosophy Bro The Spirit Molecule | Rick Strassman MD Rick Strassman MD performed the first new human studies with psychedelic drugs in the US in over 20 years. His research involved the powerful naturally-occurring compound, DMT – N,N-dimethyltryptamine.

Nautil.us The astounding quantities of discarded plastic that end up in oceans each year tend to concentrate in ring-like swirls of currents called gyres, yet most of it can be hard to spot—not because it’s not there in great quantities, but because it often takes the form of fingernail-sized microplastics. “It looks like pristine ocean until you tow your net through the water,” researcher Erik Zettler at Sea Education Association (SEA) said about the North Atlantic Gyre. “That’s when you find the plastic.” The presence of so much plastic debris at sea poses dire threats to the marine life unlucky enough to ingest small bits of it or to become entangled in nets or plastic bags. But recent research has also revealed some of the surprising ways a few resourceful marine creatures use it to their own advantage. The open-ocean sea skater, Halobates sericeus, is one of five species of Halobates that spends its entire life on the ocean’s surface.

Your questions should be answered throughout this post. Marsofold tek can essentially be done in 2 days... and keep in mind that using the exact amounts of water + lye + vinegar for each step is essential... not so much for the naphtha since you can evap it down if needed before precipitation. That lye will work fine. After you extract in the slow-cooker, let the liquid sit overnight in a gallon container in the fridge. Now the rest of the extraction can be done in a day. Keep your pulls separate! The trick for purity is the freeze precipitation. Marsofold himself actually made an update to this tek... this update says not to use a jar for freeze precipitation, too much of a PITA to get stuck crystals out. The funnel is just one way, a friend prefers to get a 5 inch diameter metal screen kitchen strainer, and put a round coffee filter in it. Freezer precipitation can happen within an hour or two. Lemme know if you need any help
