I highly recommend the British TV series of 'magician' Derren Brown. It is not magic or even hypnotism - though these are combined in the performance. It is more to do with interfering in people's mental realities temporarily. Kind of mental conjuring. It is a commercial series with all the presentational aids and gloss of post-millennial TV - but underneath are some very interesting ideas.

You might also check out the new movie 'The Prestige'.

Years ago I fell into a deep stoned slumber. but had a dream about the Secret of Life. I had found out what it was. I woke up and wrote it down on a piece of paper. In the morning I woke up and remembered the nocturnal discovery, but assumed that my documentation of it was part of the dream. I was shocked to see the pen and paper by the bed. With trembling hands I opened up the paper. On it was written "The Key is the key"

So much for substance abuse ;-)

How many times have I wished I had written down my dreams, or "Ta-DAH!/Aha!" ideas or "insights"!

On it was written "The Key is the key"

Could make for a good koan.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
