Evolver has died. Long live Reality Sandwich (www.realitysandwich.com)!

My new web magazine has just launched, after Herculean contributions of donated time and energy from many parties. I would love to hear comments from BOTHers. We are also still looking for contributors of various sorts. Plus sponsors, investors, etc.

You can email me at daniel@realitysandwich.com.

Hope you enjoy it!

Great website, very informative on a wide range of topics/subjects and I will be helping to spread the word about it. Hmm... try asking Alex Grey for a donation or sponsorship. I'm sure he has a good amount of money that could be donated to your project. Also, I dont want to sound like an expert or anything but I just had a couple suggestions about the online web mag. Perhaps in the "arts" section you could have lists of: shamanic/spiritual/psychadellic/electronica/triphop music or artists. I think that would be great for people who are looking for that sound. Although, I know you did briefly mention a couple. It would be really nice to also see some articles about poets/writers who are trying to influence the youth or society with their visionary words. What minimum amount of contributions would allow ones name/title to be mentioned in the "contributors" section?

Yea, Daniel! Looks great! So glad to see David Rothenberg's blog as an addition. He deserves more attention. Congrats! Nice color scheme, too.

God’s Bathroom Mirrors
By Adam Elenbaas

Parallel universes are now a mathematical probability, and concepts like quantum overlap, digital delay, and dejavu are becoming, more and more, the curious object of our attention.

While concrescense and novelty are knitting the global flow of digital information tighter and tighter, we often experiece personal moments of digital delay or overlap. We typically call these experiences synchronicities, head trips, or dejavus. Regardless of what we call them, these experiences are unmistakeable. It feels, suddenly, like we're standing in a double mirrored bathroom, sharing in one unified space and time, in one very particular ontology, one that has always been happening and always will be happening--like an absurd reverb of truer identity.

A Revolution without Enemies
By Anu Bonobo

Since Tim Leary still steals most of the headlines—and many of them bad—for psychedelic proselytizing in the ‘60s, I thought Allen Ginsberg deserved his due as one of Leary’s most articulate defenders, colleagues, and fellow-travelers. Ginsberg’s shameless integrity and sultry innocence offer charismatic counterpoint to Leary’s more superficial and self-serving crusades for psychedelic freedom.

Reviewing the new Leary biography in a recent issue of the Nation, Neal Pollack portends that today “it’s harder than ever to swallow the idea that mind-altering drug use could transform our staggering society.” My thesis pursues another possibility—at the same time I realize that Pollack has a point and that many of the younger psychonauts I encounter at festivals fail to focus on the revolutionary force flavoring their recreational mindfood.

Ginsberg’s old words give new juice to the eternal debate about the social implications of the cultural rituals shared by those who imbibe power plants and pills—reminding us that LSD “teaches one not to cling to anything, including LSD.” For Ginsberg as for me, insights gained in the Gaian mind of great visions have the inherent but often unrealized potential to renovate daily life forever—and this notion is inextricably linked to poetry and spirituality. While the psychedelic warrior’s mission to change consciousness engages in combat on an internal battlefield, Ginsberg never avoided more public confrontations with what he called “a vast conspiracy to impose one level of mechanical consciousness on mankind and exterminate all manifestations of that unique part of human sentience.”

Cyanobacteria to the Rescue
By Melinda Wenner

Could this weird-looking microbe save the world? A biologist at the University of Hawai'i has harnessed the power of cyanobacteria to develop a technology that could turn harmful atmospheric carbon dioxide into ethanol for fuel.
