Yet beyond the symbolic/perinatal level the researchers concur once again, with Masters and Houston calling the deepest level integral, and describing a number and variety of spiritual experiences that can happen at that level, and Grof terming the same level the transpersonal, and presenting in exquisite detail in his works a vast array of “spiritual” type experiences at that level.

With this in mind, I wish to point out that most of the Sixties Generation did not know of these levels and, for the most part, were totally unaware of the research that was coming up with these typographies or architectures of the psyche, or of at least of the drug experience. Nevertheless, those of us who lived through that period and either participated in LSD use or heard the stories of psychedelic experiencers can attest that transformative spiritual experiences were quite common, even when the drug was used just for the “fun” sensory part; and people also described experiences of curling up in fetal position and reliving their births, long before anyone even heard the term perinatal. As concerns the spiritual level, it was not uncommon to hear of people who met with someone who would be comparable to a Jesus, or who went to a place they could only describe as “heaven,” and this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the varieties of spiritual experiences that were had.

Not So “Happy Days”: The War-Born Generation — Fifties, Eisenhower Generation 

The media tends to focus on the big trends and to ignore or miss the lesser ones. The way our recent history was portrayed, you would think that just because there was a huge number of babies born in the decade  and a half after World-War-Two’s end — the much discussed Baby- Boomer Generation — that there were no babies born during the War ...  almost as if every man in America was overseas fighting or that, when home on leave or whatever, they simply would not or could not conceive!

Marinated in the Womb of War Fears

However, of course these ridiculous notions are not true, so there is a pre–Baby-boomer Generation who happened to be born during or in the decade leading up to WWII, that is to say, between about 1925 and 1942. And the Yuppies were predominantly the sons and daughters of this — let us call it — Fifties Generation. Marinated in the womb with Great Depression and war fears and born around the time of the war, the Yuppies’ parents then had their formative adolescence and young adulthood during the Fifties.

…to deeper, more transformative levels of the experience with little or no direction.

These deeper levels include, for example, what Stanislav Grof terms the third level of psychedelic experience the perinatal, meaning “surrounding birth.” It is equivalent to that which Masters and Houston termed the symbolic level — the difference being due to the fact that perinatal material is initially experienced in highly symbolic ways, and it is only in later sessions with the drug that the birth material becomes more apparent. Since Masters and Houston’s research method was to study the effects of one session of the drug on over two hundred subjects and Grof’s method included its use with some hundreds or thousands of individuals over a number of sessions, it is understandable why Masters and Houston did not recognize the birth material laced through the encounters with their “symbolic” level. On the other hand, Grof subjects experiencing multiple sessions would find — later, if not sooner — the birth-related aspects of their experiences too obvious to be able to ignore.

So it was that while Grof and other researchers like Masters and Houston were studying LSD’s effects in controlled settings and with sessions guided by researchers who had experience with accessing deeper levels of the experience — as, for example, Grof himself — there was some degree of access of the deeper levels of the experience even by people using it in uncontrolled situations and with no guidance. It is for this reason that there were some calamities that occurred under the influence of the drug. These rare instances were seized upon by counterculture opponents to spread falsities about the drug’s safety. This, in turn, led to LSD being outlawed.

These portrayals of LSD are clearly seen to be outlandish and paranoid, when you consider that the effect of LSD on DNA, which is one of the charges against it, are about as powerful on affecting DNA as an ordinary cup of tea would be. This was pointed out by Stanislav Grof in his book LSD Psychotherapy (1978). So we see how much lying and propaganda were brought to bear by the WWII Gen around this cultural phenomenon, LSD. Indeed, as it turns out, for every LSD experience gone wrong, there were hundreds or thousands other LSD experiences that were powerfully transformative. This, simply, is due to the fact that, even without a guide, the psyche’s normal tendency is toward growth and resolution. Hence, many people were able to flow with and be taken…

Hence all these MAGAts — save Boebert and Gaetz,— are members of Gen X. Gen X/ the 13th Generation and are those born 1961 to 1981. Of the ones mentioned, they include Ted Cruz, born 1970; Jim Jordan, born 1964; Sarah Palin, born 1964; Marjorie Taylor Greene, born 1974; and Josh Hawley, born 1979. Other major reactionaries past and present are numbered among the ranks of 13th Generation/ Gen X, including Rand Paul, born 1963; Paul Ryan, born 1970; Ron DeSantis, born 1978; and Chris Christie, born 1962.

Ron Paul, born 1935 and thus a member of the Fifties Generation, is a parent of Rand Paul, the Gen X Yuppie type, and this pairing demonstrates both the parentage of Gen X, as being the Fifties Gen, as well as the way that generation, Gen X, conformed to their Fifties Gen parents, not rebelling. Mostly, this pairing depicts the alliance we see predominantly on the Right — that between Fifties Gen and Gen Xers.

The Fifties Generation, Strauss and Howe’s Silent Generation, are those born 1925 to 1942. Keep in mind this alliance of Gen X and the Fifties Generation and that the Fifties Gen are predominantly the parents of and are those who inculcated values into the 13th Generation/ Gen-X, along with Gen X’s subcategory of Yuppies

Drug Effects — LSD

In Stanislav Grof’s many works (for example, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, and so on), he concurs with Masters and Houston’s earlier work (1967) that the initial phases of psychedelic experience are predominantly enhanced sensory awareness. It is this type of experience that is usually related to the use of LSD as when the experience is expressed in colorful and swirling images, which has been called psychedelic art. And for many people who used LSD, the experience remained on this level of surface, enhanced sensory awareness. Thus, they could use it for “recreational” purposes.

Yet more often with LSD than with pot, people accessed deeper levels of the mind, so that the recollective-analytic — Grof calls it the biographical or psychodynamic level — is reached, as well as levels of consciousness beyond it. These levels were experienced even when the drug was used “recreationally,” because of the relative potency of the drug as compared with marijuana.

Fifties Generation members values manifest today in the difference between traditional Republicans — those called RINOs (Republicans in name only) by MAGAts — and the MAGAts or Trumpers themselves. These RINOs are folks like the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Mitch McConnell, Ron Paul, and John McCain. They have been the ones behind the curtain — old-school Republicans, who have more of a World-War II Gen mindset.

Whereas nearly all the folks fighting them and wanting to be even more reactionary and fascistic are the MAGAts/Trumpers, the reckless “wacky wabbits” of the Gen X/Yuppie/13th Generation. These include Trumpian MAGAts like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, and Josh Hawley. These latter have more of a Yuppie/Gen X mindset in being irrational, reactionary, and sarcastically obstructionist.

Other major players in this drama are also Gen X/ 13th Gen, including Liz Cheney (born 1966) and Adam Kinzinger (born 1978). Lauren Boerbet, who is a Millennial, born 1986, and Matt Gaetz also a Millennial, barely, born 1982, are two, only, Millennials among the major Republican players. 

Hence all these MAGAts — save Boebert and Gaetz,— are members of Gen X. Gen X/ the 13th Generation and are those born 1961 to 1981.

[Chapter 7 text begins:] The preeminent researcher on the effects of LSD  on consciousness is, without question, Stanislav Grof. However, Robert  E. L. Masters and Jean Houston’s research with LSD led to their seminal  work, The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience. This book came out in 1967  and had a significant impact on the drug culture of the time.

Most influential on the counterculture at the time, however, was  Timothy Leary’s work, The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the  Tibetan Book of the Dead. It was a work that sought to be a guide for  journeyers in mind-expanding experiences, which was based on The  Tibetan Book of the Dead, as its title informs. That work came out in 1966  and was coauthored by two other notables in consciousness research,  Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzner. Richard Alpert is he who later  became Ram Dass. As Ram Dass, Alpert authored another influential  work in the Sixties consciousness culture, Be Here Now (1971).

“Gen X correspondingly would not be influenced to drugs of mind expansion but to ones of this-worldly practicality, especially ones that aided their WWII-Gen inculcated values of greed, acquisition, and power. To that, the 13th Generation’s more privileged upbringing would have them add indifference to the plights of others and reckless defiance of social niceties. These values would later be highlighted in the MAGA movement, whose greatest numbers are those of the 13th Generation/Gen X.”

“Rather than the Superman/Mighty-Mouse influences on the childhoods of the previous Boomer generation — which had Sixties youth thinking they could and should change the world for high ideals of peace, love, and utopian betterment — Gen X would ape being rascally Bugs-Bunny– like figures: Not giving a damn, laughing at the ‘kumbaya,’ spitting on the environment, and ridiculing the airy-fairy. Because of the propaganda put upon them to turn them away from Sixties values, Gen X would end up despising the actual revolutionaries of the cohort of Sixties youth preceding them.

So the Vietnam-era or Sixties Generation began being denigrated in the press with the accusation, “The ‘Me’ Generation,” and Sixties values were also denigrated — the scapegoating of the Sixties Generation continuing — despite the fact that it was a different age group in society, the younger Yuppies, who were actually the ones triggering the attack. 

Opposing Worlds

The hypocrisy of the charge of the Sixties Generation being Yuppies becomes even more blatant when considering their values. Sixties values included such selfless acts as risking, sometimes incurring, violence and personal harm, jail time, and a lower standard of living for the sake of their idealistic beliefs in peace, environmental restoration and preservation, and selfless communitarian living, among others. None of that has any overlap with Yuppie careerism, consumerism, materialism, or their individualistic greedy selfishness. But then truth was not their forte, the WWII and Fifties Generations. Later these same elderly generational types would tell us that an election in 2020 was stolen, and they would dare to say that some imaginary Antifa were who stormed the Capitol during the insurrection of January 6th, 2021. Daunting, these lies are, as they are indiscriminately piled, one upon the other down through the decades.

“Generation X would swallow whatever untruths they had been fed. For they had been led, by the WWII-Gen media, to scapegoat the Sixties Generation for any problems they saw around them. This use of fake news and misrepresentation beginning in the 1970s and 1980s to deflect attention away from the actual filthy-rich perpetrators is important. This tactic of the wealthy elite targeting a scapegoat to create a Culture War, which would keep their larceny in the shadows, is indeed the premise of this book.

“I need to make clear just how long has been going on this ploy of the wealthy using Culture War to hide their secretive and ongoing Class War. It makes it easier to see why it is so pervasive today, as we observe in the media’s use of Lefties as target practice for the irritations of  grumbly MAGAts.”

Yet aware of the criticism that their very own values, taken to the Yuppie extremes, was generating in the independent press, as well as the negative publicity there about the cocaine use of the Yuppies, the World-War-Two Generation saw an opportunity not only to defeat but also to “get back” at their opponents, the Sixties Generation, by ridiculing them. The Sixties Generation had of course incurred the wrath of the WWII Generation by opposing and confronting them on the Vietnam War in sometimes harsh and hostile ways.

As for the Yuppies who came on the scene after the Sixties Generation, in the predominant World-War-Two Generation fashion of scapegoating — which is the accompaniment of denial and ignoring the fact Yuppies expressed the values the WWII Gen had inculcated in them — the WWII Gen targeted their younger Yuppie clones from the outset. Especially the older generation directed their ire at the cocaine use of the  time. The Yuppies, with their cocaine use, were portrayed in the WWII- Generation-paid-for media as former Sixties hippies who had simply  grown older but — consistent with their alleged “narcissism” — were still selfish, only now, materially so. Thus the appellation, the “Me” Generation.

“Gen X were raised and educated to be a corrective to Sixties youth and their values. They would not be influenced to be critical thinkers, to be generalists — free thinking and open-minded, which would make them liberal  thinkers, politically. Rather, they were taught that open- heartedness and free thinking were silly and impractical in  a ‘real world’ of greed, gamesmanship, status climbing, and struggle. They would not be introduced to heroic or idealistic notions of possibilities for world renewal or evolution but would be shunted onto the traditional paths of job/career, family, competition, wealth acquisition, and  consumerism.”

Scapegoating an Entire Generation

Coinciding with and supporting the strategy just described, and because the World-War-Two Generation during the Eighties were still in their triumphant phase — a psychohistorical term meaning they were at the stage of their life in late adulthood in which they had pretty much gained control of the reins of society — they furthered their cause by managing to plant a fantasy in the collective consciousness of American culture concerning the origins of Yuppies which persists to this day.

Designer generation

The WWII Generation was in obvious denial ... again, it being their predominant defensive posture ... of the fact that they had helped to “create” the Yuppies. They blocked out of their minds the obvious similarities between their own values and those of the Yuppies, as  exemplified by the similarities between the World-War-Two-era Reagan- Bush political agenda and that of the Yuppies — who indeed helped  elect Reagan and Bush.

"By the time of Altamont -- another huge musical event held in California after Woodstock -- the change was apparent. AIcohol was now being used, with the other drugs, in abundance; there was no disdain for its use; and violence and death at the event coincided with this change."

And the propaganda against the Sixties Generation and its values, repeated endlessly over the decades, led to a media narrative that conservative ideas were winning and that, indeed, progressivism and idealism were silly impulses of a narcissistic generation. Whereas the opposite was what was actually true, such a narrative remains to this day, propped up by moneyed interests because it is convenient for their ends if the populace believes that. 

And even Democrats have come to subscribe to it over the years, with moderate supporters of Hillary Clinton justifying the slanted playing field against Bernie Sanders in 2016. With all these years convincing themselves that progressives cannot win — often using McGovern’s loss as the example — Clintonites ignored the polls showing Bernie Sanders as another transformational figure. Surveys done during the campaign showed such popular support for Sanders — perhaps even more so than for Barrack Obama earlier — that Sanders would have won in a head-to-head against Donald Trump and been even stronger than Hillary Clinton ended up being. And by the way, if progressives cannot win according to moderate Democrats, and the example of McGovern in 1972 is given, how is it that Barrack Obama won in the greatest Democratic landslide in half a century? Barrack Obama ... who campaigned as a fierce progressive, only eight years earlier, and won.
