EMK also draws influence
\nfrom the counter-culture of the 1960s, particularly the psychedelic movement. Timothy
\nLeary, Aldus Huxley, Ken Kesey\u2019s Merry Pranksters and the Electric Kool-Aid
\nAcid Test, and the culture surrounding the Grateful Dead, all espoused the use
\nof psychedelics in the creation of neo-tribal societies based on community and
\nindividual freedom. This philosophy is perhaps best summarized in the works of
\nTerence McKenna, and his \u201cstoned ape\u201d hypothesis. McKenna suggested that great
\nadvances in human evolution took place due to our species\u2019 use of psychedelic mushrooms,
\nand that a return to their use, along with tribal spiritual values, are key to
\nus returning to Earth-based principles and avoiding the catastrophes of global
\nwar and environmental destruction. In our view, the great social experiment of
\nthe 1960s led to massive advances in rights for women and minorities, and
\nuniversal enfranchisement. The reaction of the totalitarian right ended that
\nprogress abruptly. EMK seeks to refine the methods used by those earlier
\ncounter-culture heroes and lead that experiment to its fruition. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
