Interesting article, although the music of your youth was more connected to the CIA than you'd probably be comfortable with. Only Dylan admitted his career is not his making. The boomer rebellious youth was satiated by the destruction of the dollar

According to the Buddha, even consciousness (vijñāna [Sanskrit], viññāṇa [Pali]) feeds human craving & clinging, which is at the root core of human suffering, pain, unsatisfactory-ness (duḥkha [Sanskrit]). Therefore, one ought to neither identify with nor attach to vijñāna, viññāṇa. Therefore (again), striving for (so-called) “higher consciousness” is wrong headed. Better to strive for a complete escape from the karmic cycle of samsaric rebirths from one form of consciousness to another.

I’m looking forward to the complete destruction of this present-day iteration of global civilization. The human family has gone through several cycles of civilizational creation and development and destruction. This one is ripe for destruction. It cannot happen soon enough. This destruction will culminate in a planetary catastrophic natural disaster. This disaster cycle is also cyclical, happening approximately every 12,000 years. The earth will be cleansed from the iniquity of this current terminally ill civilization.
