Latin. You ever heard the joke
of the coin inscribed '500 Before Christ' ?" -- George W. Lagus, San Antonio, Texas,

"NEWS ON the psychedelic progress has been mainly documentary these weeks, since
the pharmacology is bogged for
want of a single indispensable
ingredient -- cash. One favorable and very enthusiastic report from a small group of wide
influence *** Correspondence
remains ponderous; while most
exchanges are peyotegenic, half
the exchanges stray from that
topic later. Occupational, esthetic, literary, marriage,
family, educational, and nameit - and - I've- got -it-aroundhere-some-place counseling by
me, of course, locally.
"Have been somewhat bugged
recently by letters from fellow subscriber (?) Alfred Pulyan, who alleges himself a Zen
Master and insists on enlightening me no matter what I say
about it. I've written him I've
probably already been enlightened and now I 'm doing something else, but the idea doesn't seem to transmit well. Mr.
P. is in the minority. He wants
to do it for nothing.
"I dig the Auditorial this
time. Now my trouble is just
the opposite of Hubbard's. I'm
so crowded with people trying
to do me good, be nice, act
friendly, protect me, express
good-will, etc., that I hardly
have room to get things done
and often get fatigued coping
with it all. I've been reading
Hugh Hefner's 'Playing Philosophy' series. I recommend it.
He agrees with you 250%.
"R. E. Davis's article on
paraphenomenology especially
good, I thought. J. R. Zubris
also good, but marred by his
over-super-hyper-ultra-caution
about mentioning anything that
obscures what he refers to,
and also by a residue of midHubbardian influence including
L.Ron's inadequate libido construct (entheta). Maybe some
future PhD candidate will balance Hubbard's bale and beneficence in the mental health
scene. I haven't been able to.
"Letters -- Especially Carl
Harr on Felts and modern culture. Definitely my view, and
he puts it better than I would
have. Joyce and Brubeck and
Schoenberg are among the lights
of our time. Experimentation
in the Graphic Arts also -- even
some of the 'Found Art' and
'Pop Art' -- are fresh viewpoints. Felts may want and admit only the usual and familiar. Nothing to stretch the
senses or twang the perceptions. Back to the T-V set
with him then ! Morris Katzen
adds something new. His God,
who dwells in the viscera, is
now revealed as dishonest. But
if the Supreme Intelligence is
deceptive, how may we trust
Katzen, hi s prophet? Phil
Friedman. Ah Oh! If Mother
Goose is meaningless and shows
the meaninglessness of creation, then Mother Goose does
not refer to creation because
a meaningless statement refers
to nothing at all. But Mother
Goose is part of what exists
and has meaning, which creation
does not. So what exists is
not created, so God is against
Nature. Isn't this a Manichean
philosophy?" -- Frederic Nand,
Houston, Texas.

"VARIOUS phases of New Age
religious groups continue
their activity in the area but
the E.S.P. group is not flourishing like it did when the
meetings were held in the Ontario City Library. You had a
note about these meetings being
discontinued on order of the
Library Board.
"Last fall a small group of
women met on Wednesday mornings
at my home for meditation and
study. We never had more than
four. The purpose of the meetings seemed to be accomplished
early this year and were discontinued.
"In February my husband and
I were asked to allow a group
to meet in our home on Wednesday evenings and we welcomed
them with Dan Buckley of Montclair acting as a channel. He
and his wife Evelyn are regular attendants...
"Usually a message is channeled thru from a member of
the Essene group. We are told
to discuss the lesson which we
do during refreshments and we
then have further comments by
the unseen teacher.
"Yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Buckley called and asked if
she and Dan could come over in
the evening... We had one lesson for the evening which was
a follow-up of matters we had
been discussing, but before
this we received the following
message (None of us had menREPRINTED
