In Your Eyes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v5d3WHVQFY)

in your eyes
the light, the heat

in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches

Philip K. Dick's religious experience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick)

Quote from: Wikipedia
Dick recounted that as the sun glinted off the gold pendant, the reflection caused the generation of a "pink beam" that mesmerized him. Dick came to believe the beam imparted wisdom and clairvoyance; he also believed it to be intelligent.

Quote
the grand facade, so soon will burn

Quote from: Wikipedia
Dick came to the conclusion that, in a certain sense, the world is not entirely real and there is no way to confirm whether it is truly there.

Quote
without a noise, without my pride

Ego death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death)

Quote from: Wikipedia
Many users of psychedelics like psilocybin, DMT or LSD report experiences of ego death along with other mystical experiences common with psychedelic substances.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Throughout February and March 1974, Dick experienced a series of hallucinations, which he referred to as "2-3-74", shorthand for February–March 1974. Aside from the "pink beam", Dick described the initial hallucinations as geometric patterns

Fractal, self-transforming machine elves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_elves)

Quote from: Wikipedia
Machine elves (also known as fractal elves, self-transforming machine elves) is a term coined by the late ethnobotanist, writer and philosopher Terence McKenna to describe the apparent entities (described as "elves") that have been reported by some individuals using doses of the psychedelic tryptamine, DMT.[1] References to such encounters can be found in many cultures ranging from shamanic traditions of Native Americans to indigenous Australians and African tribes, as well as among Western users of these substances.[2]

Quote from: Wikipedia
We especially refer to the apparently autonomous and intelligent, chaotically mercurial and mischievous machine elves encountered in the trance state, strange teachers whose marvelous singing makes intricate toys out of the air and out of their own continually transforming body geometries.[3]

Why'd he pick elves?  More like spirits to me.  All the same, perhaps.

I'm going to see Peter Gabriel in concert soon. 

I'll ask him what it's all about.

Self-medicating is still medicating. ;)

And besides, nobody can beat this guy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25861) for title of "forum looney." The undisputed king of drive-by dispensation of insanity.
