I had just inserted the Rodan trailer into Visionary Bull, which was originally written and sunk out of sight prior to the point at which the toilet flushing scene in (63b) was generated in the cloud cover. Well, there you have it. Mythic synchronism to signs of Higher Intelligence in the Universe, seemingly manifesting itself as synchronized to my own behavior and story. On this page, we seem to witness personal synchronism to processes on the time scale associated with cloud cover scene formation, whereas on the plane of the constellations, we seem to witness mystic synchronism of the stellar sideshow to a lifetime drama. The phenomenon of speeds of vision manifesting themselves at varying altitudes and levels was described by in Shouted from the Housetops by Joyce James in Psychedelic Review, Vol 1, Number 4, 1964, which I read in 1967 before my 1967-1973 psychedelic experiments, terminated by a psychedelic Savoy Truffle in 1973 in the form of a mushroom marinated in LSD solution that conveying rather more LSD than I cared for, souring my taste for this line of exploration. If psychedelic exploration should every come back into vogue, be sure to study the applicable manuals and always know how much you have taken, otherwise the experience can become too bewildering to be tolerable, although carefully applied it can be sublime.

Note that the state junction where the woodpecker shows heart is over "Chatanooga". Of course, the whole sequence on this page can be seen as a cartoon of the progress of the government administration, now that the administration is changing hands in a few days. After the flush, the President and other figures leaving the government can continue as woodpeckers, writing their memoirs and so forth, so that Still Life with Woodpecker applies as a new Presidential Library is assembled and the president and members of his staff write their autobiographical volumes, which may resemble Henry Kissenger's White House Years, or The Autobiography of Richard Nixon.
