Hello and Metageum
Hi folks,
My teaching work has almost finished so I’ll have much more free time soon and can contribute more again.
I did however manage to find time to attend part of the Metageum Megalith conference as Treadwell’s, which really should have been called the Psychedelic Stoner’s conference, particularly afterwards. Gyrus gave an excellent talk on the history of consciousness there, but I also found a dowser called Tom Graves very interesting, who’d combined Ramsey Duke’s fourfold scheme with his own experience of dowsing and magic, which while strangely presented like a corporate seminar (his earning mode it seems) was packed with very useful insights. I particularly like his ethos of ‘quality’ over ‘newage’ (meant to rhyme with sewage), which put my own rants on ‘elite practise’ into a better context, as well as his emphasis on the wyrd and anarchic chaos. His site is packed with info, but I found his labyrinth model of mastery/initiation the most interesting (though have yet to critically examine it more) http://www.tomgraves.org/wyrdskil
