Q: What did the hippy at the Dead concert say when the drugs wore off?

Play for your life, and maybe -- just maybe -- they'll let you live!:
Mohr relates his experience with the Yezidi-chalk-circle-like* mental prison he encountered
when trying to escape an unexpectedly labyrinthine "maze":
* George Gurdjieff wrote about his encounters with the Yezidis (an ancient religious minority
in northern Iraq and the Caucasus) several times in his book Meetings with Remarkable Men
(London & NY: 1963), mentioning that they are considered to be "devil worshipers" by
other ethnicities in the region. Also, in P. D. Ouspensky's book In Search of the Miraculous
(London: 1947), he describes some strange customs that Gurdjieff observed in Yezidi boys:
"He told me, among other things, that when he was a child he had often observed how
Yezidi boys were unable to step out of a circle traced round them on the ground." (p. 36)
Berthold Brecht's 1948 play The Caucasian Chalk Circle alludes to this phenomenon.

It's so easy to get a little too personally invested in some group & their work, no?:
Here's a little sonic treat I indulge in when I need to snap out of whatever musical (or other) groove I'm stuck in.
Mary Halvorson's a gal after my own black heart -- her psychic-space-exploring tunes, which she plays using her own
mindmeltacious guitar stylings, always work like a charm in defragmenting the ol' mind-patterning & reorienting
the condition my condition is in.
