McKenna: Search for the Original Tree

"You can call it ego, you can call it male dominance, you can call it the phonetic alphabet... Whatever it is it has to be stopped because the planet is imperiled by it. My analysis of it is the only way to do it is to dissolve the boundaries that culture and language and tradition have allowed us to create. They are largely boundaries that suppress women, not because men hate women, but because men hate the feminine. They want to control and hold it back. It's threatening... It's devouring... The fact that the French refer to orgasm as 'The Little Death' tells you what a weird kind of ambivalence haunts our relationship to anything which dissolves us out of the knot that we have tied ourselves into. So I'm a kind of non-feminist feminist. I mean I think most feminists are feminists because they think women have gotten a raw deal. I'm a feminists because I think mankind is headed for suicide if we don't return to a more intense expression of the feminine. So it's not a political agenda for me to liberate an oppressed group of people, it's a collectivist agenda to save everybody and everything on the planet."
