There is a Cloud inside the Calligraphy

THE HAWTHORNDEN LECTURE

In 1948, the novelist and poet Jack Kerouac coined the name 'Beat Generation' for an underground, anti-conformist youth movement in New York. In the decade that followed, works such as Kerouac's On the Road, Allen Ginsberg's Howl and William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (the last two sparkling obscenity trials that ultimately revolutionised American publishing) formed a distinct 'Beat' literature. Iain Sinclair has been described by the Daily Telegraph as 'one of our most dazzling stylists', and American Smoke, published this month, completes the trilogy he began with Hackney: That Rose-Red Empire and continued with Ghost Milk. In a talk introduced by novelist and screenwriter Deborah Moggach, he conducts a memory interrogation, touching on the past meetings, lost archives, chance discoveries, volcano obsessions and fated decisions of the Beats.

We are grateful to the Hawthornden Charitable Trust for sponsoring this event.

Upcoming Online Retreat with Mooji — A Call to Awakening — 25-29 May, 2022
https://mooji.org/events/a-call-to-awakening-retreat-may-2022
Registration closes Monday, 23 May at 8:00am Lisbon time

In this insightful exchange, a student shares that he finds himself getting personally identified when interacting and speaking with others. He asks for Moojibaba’s guidance on how to remain as awareness in these moments.

“You must recognise that the one speaking is itself a movement inside the unchaining awareness. Awareness did not leave itself.

See that this is just a call to clarify your seeing: ‘Am I really what I am seeing?’ 
Whatever the scenario is, ask: ’Is this actually an authentic reading of my being?’”

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather."

One Consciousness by Bill Hicks

"Conspiracy theory is a kind of epistemological cartoon about reality. I mean isn't it so simple to believe that things are run by the Greys, or isn't it comforting to believe that the Jews are behind everything, or the communist party, or the Catholic Church or the masons. I believe that the truth of the matter is far more terrifying that the real Truth that dare not speak itself is that no one is in control. This stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos. Now there may be entities seeking control, the World Bank, the Communist Party, the rich, somebody others, but to seek control is to take enormous aggravations upon yourself, because this process that is under-way will take the control freaks by the short and curly and throw them against the wall."

Opening The Doors Of Creativity - Terence McKenna

http://www.iq2if.com In this talk, urban shaman Iain Sinclair argues that we live in the age of the Grand Project, when political and economic elites decide that big visions are required to improve districts and cities. The London 2012 Olympics encapsulate this trend towards "retro-futurism" and they will be extremely damaging to East London.

The inaugural If Conference, from debate forum Intelligence Squared, took place on November 25-26th November in London. More than 30 celebrated scientists, award winning architects, farsighted futurologists and other brilliant minds shed light on the excitements and the dangers of tomorrow's world. Visit http://www.iq2if.com for video and picture highlights and to sign up for information about If Conference 2012.

45 Timothy Leary and Ram Dass -  The Psychedelic Experience (excerpt)

A deep and timeless gem. When Moojibaba and a Sangha member sit down to look at what it means when consciousness goes into shape, this profound talk unfolds:

“What I’m speaking about has to be universal, it cannot be about a person. The person is a shape. If the shape of the person is not entered, then I remain in my shapelessness.”

Music:
"Let our Name be Amen" by Omkara & Martin Rixen (lyrics from The Mala of God by Mooji)
