(In the hills above Santa Cruz?) or in Colorado? We lived in Santa Cruz for a time (in the 1980's) and were wondering how we missed such a delightful little spot.

Perhaps those experiences were truely ineffable and could not by definition be squeezed out upon the printed page. The best in my opinion were Huxley's "Doors of Perception", Alan Watts's "The Joyous Cosmology", Tom Wolf's "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" (Why did Ken Kesey fail to write much about his own scene?), Tim Leary's "High Priest" and Steve Gaskin's "Amazing Dope Tales". And William J Craddock's "Be Not Content" about the trip scene in San Jose, in Big Sur and in darkest deepest Boulder Creek (where Craddock meets Mescalito behind an old roadhouse). "Be Not Content"--an underappreciated gem of a book.

Per panpsychism of which you have written about in the recent past, I am reading a book of math-physics papers (of which of I can only look at the equations but do not understand them) called: "The Geometric Universe: Science, Geometry, and the Work of Roger Penrose". It has a paper by Stuart Hameroff, "Funda-mental Geometry: the Penrose-Hameroff 'Orch OR' Model of Consciousness", that speaks about panpsychism as a precursor to consciousness. I was just a little wowed to see the word 'panpsychism' and said, hey Rudy Rucker has talked about this! Hameroff's website is here: http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/ Cheers, Russ Hi Rudy.
