The Great Zen Master. That is what is written (certainly in jest) on the back of the photo. That was me in those days. I had certainly done Acid by the time this photo was taken, and Marijuana. I was 'a stranger in a strange world,' working for Honeywell Information Systems.

I was a human being who had been astonished.

I found myself incapable of expressing to my fellow man the glorious information which I had discovered while doing Acid. I would later find that such information was essentially untransferable; that is to say that the information was of such esoteric nature that it needed to be experienced: it could not be transferred.

I would like to take this opportunity to bring your attention to this idea: there is important information which can not be transferred. This important information must be experienced. Indeed, this information is ineffable.

Furthermore this information is very important. Very important.
