So yes we are out here, dotted around the globe, training, polishing our minds, cultivating kindness and connecting to one another. Places such as this, erowid and deoxy.org are allowing us to interact. We're leaderless and I think that is essential, because each of us is our own sage and besides without centrality we can never be destroyed. Much like a mycelium network, the largest organism on the planet yet hidden, even mushrooms are hidden in plain sight.

Why are there no martyrs? Well I think there is but we no longer see them as such. Every time somebody is arrested and robbed of everything just because they choose to use certain substances or sell them or buy them then another of our number is grabbed. But also martyrdom is not for our kind and is not needed. It belongs to the archaic days of empire.

What we need are directed warriors; knowledgeable, adaptable, using stealth, secercy and surprise. In some ways disconnected from others so as not to endanger them. The anarchic network model is the best strategy for the psychedelic movement.

So if you want to enlist come walking in the mountains, sit by a campfire, tell stories, sing songs and at every turn know that you're doing something valuable. You are making a difference.

I'm thinking about practical ways people can affect radical change in their lives and in the world. Because in some ways people feel so powerless and I think it's because the system absorbs all direct attacks.

In the meantime build up your strength. Connect with the natural and perceive the preternatural. You are all heroes and heroines. You are part of the resistance if you know it or not.

There are many, many more just like you acting silently and with love.
