Anyway Serious would be breaking his own code of ethics interfering in a study. He was an observer like the others. If I manipulated circumstance it was more or less unconscious, but was for the purpose primarily of influencing attitude, such as we all got along and learned something. But what was this unconscious I ? Must have been everybody, the Pleiades of the lighted city.
There was always talk in my circles in those days of higher consciousness. In fact that was the Holy Grail of the hippies. Higher conscious was to come, and in the not too distant future. Rock and roll stars went to India seeking higher consciousness. Some of the Beatniks had gone to Japan. In this higher consciousness all the travails of humankind would disappear. It was to be the Aquarian Age. There were gurus who claimed to have it, their limousines parked out of sight in the garage. My serious side decided - that consciousness was the way to go. It is really all about what you think. We would be thinking about thinking. And since it was a philosophy or way of thinking, someone would have to introduce it - and well you know - the consciousness is coming.
LSD was to bring higher consciousness. Most of the people I knew had something
of a higher consciousness, having taken LSD or otherwise. Many of them were very intelligent. Others had the higher education of special schools for refinement. Some were just plain open to new ideas and some were just going with the flow. However a true higher consciousness person would make no distinction. There was no higher consciousness. There was just different levels. On whatever level I am, that is what I am if I believe it.
