The First Church of David Bowie Phonomantic Rite Playlist


 Here's a Spotify playlist that has all the songs from the original FCDB phonomantic rite. It's divided into six sections:
  1. Invocation of the Divine Mother (starts with "Changes")
  2. Processional (starts with "White Light/White Heat")
  3. The StereoMyth (starts with "Spirit of the Radio")
  4. The Transcendental Disco (starts with "Thus Spake Zarathustra")
  5. The Anne Frank Working (starts with "Oh Comely")
  6. Recessional (starts with "Release")
Each song has an emotional target (i.e. devotion, uncanny dread, exultation, despair, salvation, etc.). The songs of the StereoMyth, the Transcendental Disco, and the Anne Frank Working have been sequenced to follow the narrative contours of the Hero's Journey.

A New Way to Use Psychedelics

I want to tell you about my approach to working with psychedelics, because I think I'm breaking new ground. If you or someone you know is working along similar lines, get in touch. I want to talk with you. For now, at least, I'm calling this approach "phonomancy," meaning "divination via sound." If you're a recreational user, it likely won't appeal to you. If you're someone who's dipping your toe in the psychedelic water via microdosing, or someone who is primarily interested in using psychedelics to treat trauma, depression, or addiction issues, you might find the practice I'm going to describe off-putting or even alarming. That's because phonomancy is not therapeutic--it's augmentative. It's a program for developing supra-normative emotional and spiritual capacities via psychological hormesis.

Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.”   And "...all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes - sayer ." That's some good
