SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH A
'near-spiritual experience ... what defined the experience was not feeling smarter
or learning faster: the thing that made the earth drop from under my feet was that for the first time
in my life, everything in my head finally shut up ... My brain without self-doubt was a revelation! There
was suddenly this incredible silence in my head ... I hope you can sympathize with me when I tell you that
the thing I wanted most acutely for the weeks to following my experience was to go back & strap on those
same electrodes. I also started to have a lot of questions? Who was I apart from the angry bitter gnomes
that populate my mind & drive me to failure because I'm too scared to try? And where did those voices
come from?' Some of those voices repeat society's prejudices, some echo our personal history, & some
articulate our genetic legacy! All of them together, says Sally, create an invisible story that shapes our
conscious decisions in ways we seldom grasp? So what would happen ìf wé cóuld réwríte our inner mono-
logues, or even silence them completely on occasion? As of 2016 transcranial stimulators are still in their
infancy, & it is unclear if & when they really wìll becóme a mature technology! So far they provide en-
hanced capabilities for only short durations, & Sally Adee's 25-minute experience may be quite ex-
ceptional (or perhaps even the outcome of the notorious placebo, suggestion, hypnotic or 'drug'-effect)!?
[Why do chimps generally fight & bonobos 'sex'? Why some human tribes murder while others cooperate?
Do we let fear, power, money & terrorism rule lives or do we prefer love, tenderness, sharing & truth....!?]
Most published studies of transcranial stimulators are based on very small samples of people operating in
or under special circumstances, & the long-term effects & hazards are completely unknown?! However, ìf
a technology does matúre, or if other methods are found to manipulate the brain's electric patterns, what
wóuld ÌT dó to enough human societies & to other human beings? For Mòr 'the main borderlines probably'
were reached via 'interbellum years' of the early '20s & '40s, Erika & Vledder, Eilat & Elji, India & Japan?!
'Psychedelicatessen, hash, hops, hemp, lsd, sacred mushrooms, vast reading, strange meeting èn lots of
Flowerpower, Love, Understanding & Tenderness: Groevenbeek, Randhorst, Sonneheerdt, Sonnevanck &
