The Machine Elves here are critiquing the material world and the inventions that humans have created. They discuss whether everything has a soul – does a cake have a soul?...
The Machine Elves here are critiquing the material world and the inventions that humans have created. They discuss whether everything has a soul – does a cake have a soul? As it came from something living – Eggs, wheat, milk.
The Machine Elf a term coined by Terrence McKenna. It is an entity that shows itself when humans are under
a heroic dose of LSD. They are said to like to play with language, are boisterous and pushy and they are moving constantly and look like elves.
Here they are also sitting like they are in a A.A meeting, but instead they are speaking about their addiction to humans, so they are in a M.E.A meeting. Maybe they desire to be on this side of reality permanently, but aren’t allowed.
