Monolith Lyrics

First voice:
These symptoms suggested that our evolution, I suppose, from the animal kingdom
into the human kingdom itself was catalyzed, or triggered by our encounter with
these hallucenogenics, and

Second voice:
Yes, we are an ape with a symbiotic relationship to a mushroom, and that has
given us self reflection, language, religion and all the spectrum of effects
that flow from these things.

First voice again:
And one can only wonder how these hallucinogens might effect our future
evolution as well...

Second voice again:
They have brought us to this point, and as we make our relationship to them
concious, we may be able to take control of our furute evolutionary path.

The person you hear speaking is not Mr. Rogers, it is Terance McKenna, a famous hallucinogens researcher. He is talking about his theory of how apes evolved to humans by consuming hollucinogenic mushrooms, giving them a conciousness. For more info on him go here - http://www.deoxy.org/mckenna.htm . That being the point of the track is the same as the monolith's point on 2001, it reflects change and consequences which happen from changes.

  • Titled Monolith, after the "brooding alien artifact at the heart of Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey"

The monolith is from 2001, but the whole album is a consept album of diffrent theories, and human evalution, this track basicly sets the stage for the rest of the album.
