Suddenly, I saw my
footprints in the sand… Here it is – my trace!
At that moment, I
realized my trace was a treasure.
If a coyote, which
footprints I also noticed in the sand, eats me, my body will be found by my
footprints in a month or two, and MAPS will have to deal with an international scandal.
MAPS
is Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies
No wonder, one of
the official MAPS volunteers, that is me, consumed prohibited substances, plunged
into the process, registered in their ZenDo, demanded a meeting with the person
in charge, but was rejected and left, then came into the wilderness and was eaten by coyotes. That’s what
“compassionate care” is…
Well, what can you
do…
Do I want to leave
behind that kind of trace?
Die here, so MAPS has
to deal with a scandal?
I clearly realized
that was not the kind of trace I wanted to leave behind. But which kind do I
want?
One night, while
at the festival, I realized that closing the door of my car I accidently broke
my glasses, which I had bought specially for Burning Man. It was very dark, so
picking up the pieces from under the car would be insane.
I picked up the largest
ones the next day, but didn’t touch the small ones. While doing so, I was
thinking that I wanted to leave a trace. Yes, I want to leave a trace on Earth,
everywhere where I have been.
The glasses are my
unconscious mind, resisting the idea to leave no trace.
On my way from
Pyramid Lake to the car, I didn’t really see where I was going. Afraid of being lost, I started looking around
to find my way. Suddenly, I saw my own footprints in the sand, and followed
them. It dawned on me, “Wow, that’s what my trace is here for – it’s for me! For
me to find my way back!”
The depth of this idea,
which at that moment seemed true for the whole world, was astonishing. As if I
left a trace in this world for myself, for me to find my way back to Clear
Light.
Leaving the lake,
I was thinking about what had happened to me and remembered about my father’s
book titled “Trace on Earth.” He finished it not long before his death. Probably,
he also realized he wanted to leave a trace and that’s why he started writing
books.
But I’m not him!
I don’t want to just
leave a trace!
I want more!!!
To create a
possibility for people to
be able to follow my trace.
I want to be
useful.
And I want my
trace to not only lead to me, but go beyond, into Infinity.
THE
TRACE
“How was it?” a lady who I offered some water asked me at the gas
station I stopped on my way back. She was going to Burning Man, which I had
just left.
She refused my
water, while I thought what answer I could give her.
How was it?
At that moment, I
was so overwhelmed with emotions that I didn’t know what to say, so I shrugged.
A few minutes later, after I took off, I found the right word to describe it –
outrageous. I felt disappointment about not being able to answer right away.
The question kept
playing with me in San Francisco, on the plane, in Russia….
To be honest, every
time people asked me, “How was it?” I was at a loss. What could I say? How
could I fit all those feelings, images, situations into words?
What exactly did I
have to include in my answer:
Pretentious installations?
Young men in tutu
skirts, walking around with a typical young-macho gait?
A ton of
information on the benefits of psychedelic drugs that was being melt by the
heat into separate sounds in my mind?
The stinging in my
feet after my first walking barefoot?
The heat that
could only be cooled by the wind, which also brought sand?
The deep
loneliness which was getting stronger in the hyper-bright-loud-colorful-foreign-speaking-jazzy
crowd of individuals on bicycles?
Or
maybe that feeling after my first
night there, when the never-ending dubstep rave, heat, jetlag and uncertainty
didn’t let me sleep and I woke up with headache thinking, “Now I’m a Burner!!!”
The day before I was not a Burner yet, when the dudes at the entrance made me
roll in the sand and scream “I am a Burner!!!” and then get in my clean car and
keep on driving.
No, I wasn’t a
Burner then, and the Playa dust was alien to me.
Yesterday, I didn’t
understand the true meaning of being a Burner…
And now after spending a night here and waking up at eight in the
morning to look at the rising sun that brings suffering, and go work in the
kitchen of my camp, Fractal Planet, now – I am a Burner!!!
or the Burner???
This question is
often asked by Russians: “a” or “the”?
Which one is correct?
So, am I just one of the 68,000 Burners or I am the only
one, the unique Burner? The Human Being?
May be this story
will help you understand:
“Do you know
Misha?” a non-Russian girl asked me, as I was standing by my car, about to
leave.
“Agranovsky or
Arshavsky?” I started going over the Mishas that I had met throughout my life….
“…hmm…” the girl
thought and asked again, “Are you Russian?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know
Misha?” she repeated the question, as if she was convinced that since I was
Russian, there at the festival, I surely knew Misha and he was the only Misha
in that crowd of 60,000 people and all Russians knew him, as if he was the
Misha.
To explain to her
that Misha was a popular Russian name, and I knew a lot of Mishas, I said,
“Ok, do you know
Jane?”
“No,” she said,
not realizing what I meant.
“Ok, do you know
John, then?” I asked, trying to use another popular American name…
She thought for a
second and understood that there were a lot of different men whose name was John…
and Misha.
She grinned and raised
her thumb up,
“Well done.”
Later I learned
that the key figure of that year’s Burning Man was John Frum, a white guy from
Cargo Cult.
Cargo Cult
is a kind of Melanesian millenarian
movement that worships plane effigy. Adherents of the cult
believe that the goods that fall off the planes are sent by the sprits to the
people of Melanesia.
In most famous cargo cults, “copies” of airports, landing
strips and radio towers are built from coco palms and thatch. It is believed by
the followers of the cult that the effigies will attract cargo planes (that are
believed to be sent by the spirits). Drills and military marshes are held
regularly, with the followers using sticks instead of guns and drawing “USA”
signs and orders on their body.
John Frum
is the key figure of Cargo Cult on the island of Tanna (Vanuatu). He is depicted
as an American military man of the WWII era, who is believed to bring wealth
and prosperity to the followers.
It is believed that the name John Frum comes from “John
from America.” Frum is a rare last name in English-speaking countries.
Amazingly, I
scored a hit when I used the name John.
The key figure of that
year’s Burning Man was John.
The John, aka a
John, because he’s from the US, just like Misha is from Russia…
It turns out you can
be unique, the only one…
Well, who am I?
I am a Burner, that’s for sure now!
But have I become the Burner?
The one that burns, Danko, the burning man?
After my sleepless
night and shift at the ZenDo tent with bad-trippers, I took 2cb, and headed to
the other side of the Playa.
ZenDo
is a volunteer project by MAPS, held at different festivals, to aid people who
have had a “bad trip.”
I was blown away
by the wind. It was so strong that I couldn’t even see my own nose, but I kept
walking. As it turned out, I was walking in the right direction.
While walking, I
experienced the fear of death. It was inevitable, it was near, but I didn’t
know how to avoid it, I didn’t want to die...
I didn’t know how
to get rid of that fear. “Maybe, someone can help me?” I thought and began asking
people...
“Are you afraid of
death?”
A young girl in a
bright dress said, “No.”
I didn’t believe
her, but I didn’t want to bother her anymore.
Then I came up to
a car. There were two people in it, an
elderly man and his wife. I asked the
same question. “No”, they replied... and
then the woman said, “It’s his birthday today, he’s turned 80...”
I said, “Even more
so.”
One of them continued,
“Let's make fun here! Anyway, nothing can be done about it, everyone dies
eventually...”
I said, “Maybe,
something can be done?”
They: “Maybe.”
I: “Let’s do
something!”
The man honked.
“Oh! That’s
something,” I thought... and left, free of the fear of death… at least for a
while…
But shortly after
that, I was overwhelmed with a new wave of thoughts, “What if Gena dies?”
And I couldn’t overcome
it again. I drove back to the couple and asked, “And what about the death of
your partner? Are you afraid of it or not?”
“Not today and not
tomorrow...” said the woman... and the two left...
I kept walking to
the Red Lightening Camp, to meet Ralph White, founder of the New York Open
Center, to talk to him about Global Enlightenment.
The New York Open
Center is a large holistic center in Manhattan.
Global
Enlightenment is a new ambitious project by Tatyana
Ginzburg and GenShi, designed to unite people, organizations, systems of human
development around the idea of achieving Enlightenment.
That’s when a
lecture by Daniel Pinthbeck was to be held at the Red Lightening Camp. According
to Ralph, Pinthbeck is the new Timothy Leary of the new millennium.
Timothy Leary
is a prophet of psychedelic culture.
Ralph told me
sadly that the lector failed to come, so the lecture was delivered by some
young man. Meanwhile, I was fighting the urge to go and grab the microphone and
share with all those present what was really important to me at that moment,
namely my fear of death and desire to overcome it.
But my fear took
over me, and the only thing I forced myself to do was raising my hand and asking
that guy with the microphone if he was afraid of death. Of course, the answer
was no. After that I passed out and the only person who was able to move me was
the owner of the mat I was lying on. She was asking me to move away, “This is
my mat… I need it!”
“So what?” I replied. “It’s communism here, isn’t it?” I thought to
myself. “Is the mat more important than a human?” She wouldn’t stop yelling.
Perhaps, the mat was really important for her. So I suggested physically pushing
me off and taking the mat… which she did shortly.
I got up, and saw
Ralph waiving at me. The first thing he told me with regret was that the lector
failed to come. “Don’t be sad, Ralph,” I told him. “I’m Timothy Leary! Really! I,
with my rebellious manners, demand for domination over the world and new ideas,
spiritually fit to be the Timothy Leary of the new millennium.
“Ask me what you
would want to ask Timothy.”
Ralph stood
silent, smiling at me politely, and I realized he didn’t believe me. That man,
Daniel Pinthbeck, must have been more convincing than me. And, besides, he was
a man.
However, if a man
does not believe in something, he can assume that (as by Descartes), form a
hypothesis, and prove it.
I am not John
Frum, I don’t want people to believe me requiring no proof. Cargo Cult reflects
nicely the ability of the human mind, in this particular case the mind of
aborigine natives, to have faith that if you march along the road, that is built
to look like a landing strip, than gods will arrive from a different world. But
you can be waiting for their arrival forever. That is not something which may
lure me.
Christianity, just
like any traditional religion, is in essence a Cargo Cult, too. It is blind
faith that a ritual can be followed by some kind of extraordinary results.
Cargo Cult is just a lovely example of the absurdity of this faith.
I’m Timothy, I’m
not Jesus, I’m not John. I’m for questioning stuff!
Including questioning
the fact that I’m Timothy.
Doubting means
assuming that this is possible, and then trying to figure out the Truth.
To assume that the
Timothy Leary of the new millennium is someone new, unexpected, daring, someone
who might be a woman, a woman from Russia, and not necessarily an English-speaking
man. And then to find out whether it’s true.
Gradually, we
switched to discussing Enlightenment, which was my plan. Ralph insisted it was
impossible for him in this lifetime – maybe after a few lives. Inspired by my
idea that Cartesian doubt could be used on anything, I suggested that he assumed
that for him, Enlightenment was possible at that very moment! To accept this as
a hypothesis and to either confirm or refute it. It seemed more reasonable to
me than the blind faith that Enlightenment was impossible.
Pondering over it,
I suddenly realized that it’s impossible to confirm the thesis “Enlightenment
is impossible.” Since it seems
impossible now, it doesn’t mean it will remain impossible tomorrow or the day
after tomorrow. One can only argue – it didn’t work out again, and again… but
it doesn’t mean it will never work out at all.
However, the thesis
that it’s possible can be proven. It can be proven now and again, at any
moment. If one plunges into this state
of probability and search, then maybe it will be it? Enlightenment?
The completion of the endless cycle of proving the
impossible.
Realization, understanding, after all, choice of a
possibility!
Having shared it
with Ralph, I found out that it was too hot to follow my train of thoughts. Maybe
later, when it cools down, he’ll think about it.
So I walked
further, further into my mind and further across the Playa.
As I was walking,
a horrid urge ripened inside my head. It began to overwhelm me, and I didn’t
know what to do.
I wanted to pee on
the Man standing in the center, or better poop.
It seemed so
beautiful!
It tied together
my previous life, where I came to realize that urinating, besides being secret
and bad, can also be a process of blessing something if that’s your intention
while doing so. At the same time, taking into consideration the insolence of the
things around, peeing on the Man seemed pretty normal, it corresponded to the
place and masterpieces of contemporary art. Besides, it’s not about just some
simple process of peeing. It’s about peeing as an artist, to create a work of
art by displaying your freedom and, on the other hand, showing to the Man that
he is nothing, and is no better than my individual trace.
However, I was
often told that it was prohibited. I was threatened that police might arrest me
and the guys from Fractal Planet told me, “You, Fractal Planet, behave
yourself. Otherwise you’ll compromise the entire psychedelic movement.” I may
get arrested, which would be another international scandal. I imagined being
questioned by a police officer, and then escorted back to MAPS; I’d tell them I
was a volunteer at the ZenDo project; I completed my shift, took some psychedelic
drugs, and came to poop on the Man. ZenDo would be ruined.
“Sorry, Rick, but
you see, what to be sorry for?”
Thinking it over,
I come up to the Man.
As I’m approaching
him, I get overwhelmed with the urge again and ask a naked man walking towards
me, “Help me please, let’s do it together, lets pee on the Man…”
He says “Good
idea,” but hesitates…
I persuade him to
at least try. He agrees.
I manage to pee a little
bit on the ground, he doesn’t.
I keep walking and
reach the Man. Horrified, I go inside, look at the people around…. imagining sitting
in the center and peeing, while the rest are staring at me with understanding.
Suddenly, I notice
a water faucet and reach out to wash my face. That’s when I realize I’m peeing…
that the water which is pouring out of the Man on me and me are the same process.
I remembered the New
Year seminar at Shiram in Russia. We squatted to pee when water started
dropping on us from the roof… That’s when we realized the world was responding,
it was peeing on us…
That’s when I
realized that I and the Man were the one whole. It was the same process.
After that I left…
and I continued walking across the Playa, barefoot, back to Fractal Planet…
Rick. This is who
I wanted to talk to. And tell him all the truth about his ZenDo project.
Rick Doblin
is the creator and mastermind of MAPS.
Who else but me
can tell him the Truth?
That it’s boolshit
… if he wants a real psychedelic experience, why locate ZenDo in such a loud
place?
Why am I left
alone?
Why did none of
the two volunteers join me?
What’s the fuck
with the signing in?
Why do they make
me register people instead of letting me help them?
Where is the team
spirit?
Where is the alliance
between the volunteers?
And so on…
I could unfold it. After all,
I’m a therapist with a huge experience…
Of such therapy,
like existential things…
If I’m asking for
a transformational trip for myself, what’s to think about? Why not answer right
away. Or not… or… yes, of course, great, perfect! Isn’t the transformational
trip of most value to him? And the rest – like “legalize it” and so on – is
secondary?
But… What if he’s
not ready for that yet?
Not ready for my Truth?
Then what?
Then I won’t say
anything, I’ll just leave, and that will be a small sign on my part.
What else can I do
here?
Then I should
think of something to understand whether he’s ready or not. Whether I should bug him with my Truth or not?
Oh! I’m a Game
Master!
It means playing
with the world in a way a possibility which is the most harmonious will be
realized.
How to play?
I could go look
for Rick, all the more so given that I think I
know where he lives. Find him and make myself heard.
But I want to find
a more harmonious way.
It might be
possible if I go through the system.
Through official
ZenDo entrance. They’ve registered me there already, as a psyche, or a bad
psych, or a trip-psych.
Ideally, if in our
system someone, after diving into the process, demanded Gena, Gena’d respond.
In my opinion, such a system needs receptivity.
For some people,
volunteers are enough. Some need me if the volunteers can’t handle it. And for
some, for certain processes, it’s important to have an opportunity to contact a
superior, get help from a superior, up to God, who in this case is Rick… May be
it’s here?
That’s why I
decided that I’d come and see my sitter, Mommy, and ask her to help me find Rick.
Sitter is
a ZenDo volunteer helping people with bad-trips who came to the ZenDo tent.
Even better! I’ll
ask her to choose between option 1 and 2.
If she picks 1, I’ll
leave.
If she picks 2, I’ll
tell her that I want to talk to Rick, and ask her to find him for me.
However, as usual,
the world turned to be more complicated than my thoughts.
Before I reached
the tent, I realized Mommy’s shift had ended. “What if Mommy’s shift has ended
and no one is waiting for me?” it dawned on me…
“But how so?” one
more time I was thinking about the psych processes support at MAPS. How can you
leave someone in the process?
I was right, there
were some strangers in the tent. They didn’t know I was having a process. It seemed
terrible to try to explain everything to them from the beginning… as well as
the fact that my Mommy’s shift had ended.
I started asking a
guy sitting at the entrance to go find Rick for me. He was hiding behind the
registration papers I hated after my night shift…
I insisted.
“It is not my job,”
he became more persistent. “It’s not my duty.”
I thought about it
and said, “It’s your duty!”
I knew the point
of him sitting there was helping people through their psychic processes and
that’s what I came there for.
“Who are you to
give me duty?” he asked.
“I’m Tatiana
Ginzburg,” I calmly answered.
Strangely, I didn’t
even think of becoming Timothy Leary or someone else at that moment. I clearly
understood that I was Tatiana Ginzburg, and that I did have a right to demand
from him for my wish to be fulfilled.
Suddenly, the
world changed. After hearing my name, the young man jumped up and started looking
for a solution.
I sat down in his
chair, watching him.
After a while, he ran
into Linnae, a blonde in charge of the whole ZenDo project. She said Rick was
asleep and she was not going to wake him up.
“In this case, I’m
leaving.”
“Leaving where?”
she asked me, as if ZenDo was the center of the universe.
“To the people who
are ready to wake up to talk to me,” I replied.
Later, I thought a
lot about that phrase of mine and my departure. I worried it was a weak move on
my part and I should’ve stayed. Maybe, I was driven by exhaustion, my ability
to make
distinctions was reduced by the psychedelics. I couldn’t find a place to
rest, while the goals I set while with a clear mind, such as interviewing Annie
and Ralph, seemed unimportant. To sign in to work at ZenDo again no longer
seemed exciting either…
While preparing to leave, wandering in search of
my camp and answering questions of those around, I became overwhelmed with an
insight that I could approach any person with any request, no matter how
ridiculous they looked or my request was, and they would most likely try to help
me. I’d had this miraculous feeling until I reached the civilization.
Leaving Black Rock
City wearing a wet, dirty pair of socks and dusty clothes, I got out of the car
and came up to some random people asking, “Am I dirty enough for you to let me
leave?”
“We are new here,
but sure you may leave,” they said with a smile.
I was driving
relaxed, not afraid of the heat, with my windows down. Then I stopped in the
middle of the exit corridor, got out of the car, like a true Burner took my
clothes off and poured a canister of water over my head and then put on somewhat
clean clothes. The shoes I put on were different because I failed to find a
matching pair, and continued my way.
Driving down
(Black Rock City is located 2,000 km above sea level)… for miles... I was
thinking about my life, who I was, what my mission and my current goal were and
how I was going to achieve it, as well as what the Game and Game Master’s
School were. And what scale was adequate for the realization of my goals.
It dawned on me
that I was Tatiana Ginzburg. I’ve achieved fame, since some young man whom I
didn’t know, sitting in the ZenDo tent, jumped up upon hearing my name and did
his best to fulfill my request.
Also, it dawned on
me that my name differed from Mashiah in just one letter.
My Playa name
Playa name
is a nickname a Burner uses at Burning Man.
was written down
by ear by a male-sitter – Mashial. I
started asking him to change it into Mashel. But now I understand it was
awesome – Mashial! It’s me!
It’s just one
letter from Mashiah.
Mashiah… Messiah…
A person with the Mission…
Maybe, I’m close
to the Mission?
Perhaps, the Truth
is somewhere close? It’s in just one letter? Just one letter needs to be
changed?
A lot of
situations from Burning Man resurfaced in my mid like clues, and some of them
were very vivid:
At dawn, as I was
stumbling towards my car, tired but overwhelmed with the beauty and calmness of
the early morning, a young man appeared in my way, “Where’s my camp? And why am
I supposed to walk that way and not this way?”
I took him by the
hand, turned him in the right way, and walked a few blocks with him, until I
realized that he didn’t have a clear picture about the city. Moreover, what he
thought he knew was incorrect.
I made sure he
understood “the world map,” which in that particular case was “the city map,”
as well as where his camp on that map was… and let him go on his own.
At six in the
morning, as a was stomping across the desert back to my camp wearing a pair of valenki
(felt boots) (which I brought from Russia specially for the event), I realized
the importance of the map, even in the physical world, not mentioning the
metaphysical world, the map that could be applied in life, at every crossroad I
happened to be.
The map that would
show me clearly which way to follow in
this world?
While at an Indian
restaurant in San Francisco with Lakshmi, I was answering her questions:
How was it?
I told her about
Annie Oak’s lecture, and Annie telling me that a friend of hers often had
orgasms while under psychedelics, and she also wanted it and saw it as her next
step. Listening to her, I remembered being under a similar delusion for many
years. I’ve heard a bunch of stories from my friends about having an orgasm while
breathing, after practicing “orgasm reflex” and reading Reich and Lowen. I
thought that orgasm was something important and if I kept practicing it,
eventually I’d have it.
However I kept
failing… The best thing I achieved was a state of mad laughter during my orgasm
reflex practice as I was straining my back. Laughing at myself for trying to have
an orgasm in such a strange way, in such an unnatural position… I thought the
orgasm was what I had – a burst of joy and happiness. That’s when I stopped
waiting for an orgasm as some satisfactory energy experience, like the one
during a sexual intercourse, when the tension from the genitals is released.
What Annie was talking about was exactly that – pleasure.
That’s why after her
lecture I asked her, “Why do you think orgasm is ahead of you? Why don’t you
think that it’s behind you?” I was hoping Annie would show me a map and point where
the orgasm was, where she was and why it was ahead of her… But instead she
talked about how an orgasm was a pleasure and therefore it was good.
I told Lakshmi
about it.
“Do you have a
map?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“Can you email it
to me?”
“But… it’s in
Russian…”
“Oh, come on!”
“Ok, I owe you for
the article… I’ll send you the map…”
Here is the map,
Lakshmi:
7 vertical chakras
1 - Muldahara -
physical body (form, shape, matter)
2 - Swadhisthana -
energy (passion, emotions)
3 - Manipura -
mind (intellect, distinctions)
4 - Anahata - love
(acceptance)
5 - Vishuddha -
creativity
6 - Ajna -
awareness (meaning)
7 - Sahasrara-
freedom
Each person
usually has one dominating chakra.
A path of
ascending is shifting the dominant up. For the more detailed examination of the
map every chakra can be unfolded in horizontal as well. That will enable it to
trace the development of every chakra (each quality) more precise, and
transition of the dominant from one chakra to another.

For example,
1x1- form = physical
body
1x2 - energy form =
alive body, biological object
1x3 - intellect
form = homo sapiens, awakening of the mind, speech
(in other words,
the form (body) is developing in our description horizontally )
2nd chakra -
energy, pleasure, passion
2x1 - pleasure
from the physical sensations, forms, possession of matter
2x2 - pure
quality, pure energy, orgasm
2x3 - pleasure
from intellectual activity, reading, conversation
2x4 - pleasure
from acceptance
2x5 - pleasure
from creativity
3x1 - distinction
of form
3x2 - distinction
of energy, emotion, sensations
3x3 - distinction
of thoughts, ideas (like I am aware of my thoughts in this field
(quality)
If my dominant
hasn’t reached the second chakra and I’m largely in the first one, meaning mostly
being concerned about the material aspect, my body, survival, fitting on the material
level, then yes, orgasm (pure pleasure) is ahead of me, that is my goal.
If my dominant is mostly
in the mind chakra, then ideas are more important for me than feelings, and my ultimate
experience will be enlightenment, understanding my life, which is ahead (above
level three)
If my dominant is
in the fourth chakra, then my goal is not some temporary physical pleasure but experiencing
the resonance with the world and its life.
And so on…
Here is the map.
But it’s one thing
to see the map of Black Rock City while you are sitting in front of your
computer at home, and another thing to be in Black Rock City and to be able to
find your way. Understand where things are located…

use the map on the spot, how to use it for yourself to find the right way every
time you need, and find the solution to each particular situation to move the
dominant higher and higher.
I’m learning that
now. Burning Man has become my polygon. I want to keep learning, including with
the help of such events as Burning Man. That’s why I invite everyone to join me
and learn together.
To learn how to
find your way in the labyrinths of your mind towards the exit.
Towards the peak
of the Human Spirit.
Towards becoming
THE BURNER.
Our trace will
surely be left after us!
