The VISIONS SERIES (2) - a new series of prophetic visions exploring potential evolutionary futures of humankind based on extraordinary visionary experiences.
I haven't read "Dark Night Early Dawn" but I did read "LSD and the Mind of the Universe" which the author (Bache) claims is a more comprehensive accounting of the excerpts included in Dark Night. "LSD" is recommended reading to put :Dark Night" in the proper context.
Bache freely admits that his interpretations of the LSD experiences are heavily biased by his strong background in Zen Buddhism and the bias should be taken into account. This is readily apparent in the book.
I read "LSD and the Mind of the Universe" twice and many parts several times in an attempt to drill down to what was being experienced as opposed to what was reported and a few things surfaced. The first reading left me enamored with the exoticness of what Bache reported. In the second I intentionally distanced myself from the exoticness.
First thing I noticed was that reality is multi dimensional; what we experience here in this universe is only a sliver of what can be experienced. Second, Bache's reports of his LSD experiments are very similar to reports of people who have been subjected to extreme brain washing. When I mentioned this to someone else who was reading the book he pondered for a moment and agreed.
Third, there appeared to be multiple groups of "beings" with opposing agendas working in Bache's experiences, the predominant one pushing him toward a Borg-like hivemind future of humanity, a supernatural version of transhumanism.
Do you think it's possible that the oneness concept is a long-term effort to enslave humanitys psyche?
Hi - thanks for your comments. It's true that Bache recommends people to refer to his later book 'LSD and the Mind of the Universe' which is a more recent retelling of his experiences. I've spoken & communication with Chris on several occasions (he kindly wrote an endorsement of one of my previous books), and he also kindly gave his permission to use these extracts. Like all experiences, there is a subjectivity we need to take into account. No doubt other people would recount different experiences & interpretation of those experiences (which is indeed the case). And I would also agree that what we know of as 'reality' is multi-dimensional, and you are right to point out that each person's exploration is only a slither of the full spectrum. However, this does not mean that we should dismiss the slither. Yet on this point, we also need to use our own discernment. And that's why I offer these 'visions' for each person to consider them through their own 'inner filters' and to see if there is something to take away from them. There are many varying degrees of brainwashing - normal life is generally lived in a post-hypnotic state, so we may pick up on correspondences here. Yet extreme brainwashing (MK-Ultra style) I did not personally find within the Bache material. Now, the 'oneness' concept is tricky, as I do feel that this concept has been hijacked along the way for nefarious ends, and also distorted. So we do need our discernment here.. and the only way to approach this is by developing our own experiences and understanding of the various facets of reality. Not easy. First, we need to be able to expand our perceptual horizons, and I hope some of the material I offer is able to stimulate these expansive considerations. Cheers.
I expected push back on my perception of brainwashing techniques. It was a slow dawning of awareness of the patterns. Once I had the perception I gave Bache' interpretation of "cleansings" the benefit of doubt and investigated what organizations would use such extreme cleansings. There were a handful of fringe buddist sects, same in judeo-christian, Muslim, Japanese and Chinese religions, and those weren't condoned or recognized by the parent organizations. The only organizations that consistently used such extreme cleansings were cults and covert government control structures. And true to the pattern, Bache experienced various levels of extreme cleansing followed by the revelation of nirvana like experiences, followed by teaching. Repeat. I honestly don't think that Bache had encounters with entity groups with humanity's best interest in mind.
On the other hand Biener's "The Bigger Picture",which I read at the same time, portrays much more benevolent encounters.
Thanks again, and I have to say that whilst I'm not converted to your viewpoint, I still think its valid and should be heard. The 'cleansing' aspect can indeed be ambiguous, and may relate to Bache's own subconscious conditionings regarding his Buddhist background. I agree that we do need to be careful when dealing with such non-ordinary encounters (as is shown by the array of 'channellings' out there). And I should express that I'm not a supporter of psychedelic-induced experiences, as I adhere to the 'organic approach' of years of inward work rather than the induced short-cut. Although, as you have recognized, I'm not against considering that these 'short-cuts' may be able to bring back some insights of value. And in Bache's work I have found insights of value. So my sense is that his encounters were not malicious, yet this does not mean we should take them uncritically, which is why I think your points are also valid. Cheers.
Reminds me of the first day of school and going into the assembly hall with the school cone, but unlike the author, everything went wrong afterwards, I probably had too many sweets in the school cone.
But seriously, what an experience! And what an effort to write this so vividly after a trip so that others can dive in it. The musical accompaniment draws you right into the middle of it! Thank you for that
What an extraordinary beautiful, turbulent, prehistory we humans are part of. I have to 'listen' to the video with eyes closed and observe that this is my mode for a much deeper experience. I am in awe Kinsley, many thanks for your guidance!
I'm glad you are 'experiencing' this journey ... yes, a good idea to listen with eyes closed. And when the series is finished, I will be posting the whole series as an audio album to listen to (as I did with VISIONS 1 - https://kingsleyldennis.bandcamp.com/album/approach-to-reality-visions-1
Hi Kingsley, not sure if you know Shunyamurti. He has an ashram/wisdom school in Costa Rica where I stayed for a couple of months (https://stage.satyoga.org/). He is quite the scholar and teaches from all different spiritual traditions. His main lineage though is Kashmiri Shavism which speaks about the coming reunion (re-marriage) of Para Shiva and Para Shakti - and it sounds exactly like described here. I wept profusely during that teaching. I know this is our future .. or shall we say our present moment?
Hi Daliah, I'm aware of Shunyamurti having watched some of his video talks and he seems to be a sensible person. I don't know his teachings deeply yet it's good to know there is some correspondence with the material here. There is a lot we are all going through... We need a balanced centre! 🙏
I agree. I love Shunyamurti´s approach, seeing where the essences of all different kinds of traditions meet, the Greek classics and Western thought (psychology and philosophy), the Asian spiritual traditions of Kashmiri Shaivism, Tibetan Dzogchen, the great Zen masters and Sufism. Its inspiring to me. YET, what I miss in his teachings is love. The teachings get lost in intellectual gymnastics. He speaks a lot about love, yet I ain´t feelin it. This videos series you have created is so inspiring and healing! Its not only a transcendental but a pure LOVE experience for me. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and weaving them together with stunning music is this profound way. So helpful to me, especially in this time, sandwiched between two eclipses, full of Pisces energy.
This vision seems to be to be very Homo sapiens centred. Admittedly there are numerous 'channelings' to be found, but there are also accounts of contacts with enlightened people not of our species. The almost universal conditioning of the human race prevents us from accepting that there might be truth in these accounts.
Yes, I would agree that most 'Intelligence' is not human at all .... both on this planet as well as off! Human intelligence is only a very small % of overall forms of intelligence. Saying that, it has often been the case that 'intelligences' beyond our reality construct take on that form which is most accessible to the human mind, which would of course seem very anthropocentric to us :-)

Most things have to be better than the first day of school! ;-) Glad to hear this experience is an improvement on that!

This whole area is a minefield. Our perceptions are coloured by Hollywood, psyops, disinformation etc.
