Yes -- that was the interview I was thinking of. Thanks for providing the transcript (more accurate than my hazy memory) !  ;o)

 

Anyone who had written poetry know this state : it is going from one level of consciouness to another ...

«Art is nature speed up and God slowed down » Malcom de Chazal

Our expression and our words never coincide, which is why the animals don’t understand us.

 
 What poetry communicate when " understood " or simply read,  induce a change of consciousness, better , the change in consciousness induced is a deeper understanding... A change in perspective is wisdom birthing ...
Animals awaken, first facially, then bodily. Men’s bodies wake before their faces do. The animal sleeps within its body, man sleeps with his body in his mind. Share this Quote Malcolm de Chazal

« Peace is a state of consciousness which seeds in us gave the fruits waiting for us out of history as the words of prose are already now the seeds of a higher meaning and higher consciousness in what we call poetry »-- Anonymus audiogon poster 😎

«The seeds value is more than the fruit»-- Anonymus gardener

 

«Words are seeds and the song is the fruit»-- Anonymus Dylan fan

«Children days of amazement dont make  history» -- Anonymus psychologist

Now take a gentle breath and listen to what this awaked gentleman in his last interview, before he died just before 9/11, spoke about and think about the way what he says about time and concsciousness accelerating is becoming truer by the minute nowadays ...

If sound is a mystery , time is also one...And one encounter the other in speech (communication as the highest evolutive rate of change ) ...

 

Now if you think that this Mckenna is in a delirium about his idea of a relation between time and the Chinese most important old book , think again...

Read this  book here the correspondance between Carl Gustav Jung the father of depth psychology and Wolfgang Pauli one of the father with Bohr and Heisemberg of the new quantum physics , discussing about time and synchonicities and another Keplerian and Newtonian deep interest : astrology ...

I also like that right after Dylan made that comment, Bradley asked him if he thinks he could write something like that again, and he said, “(mm mm)” 😆 (as in, the ‘mm mm’ sound of ‘no’). 
That lack of hubris, expressed so bluntly, is great.  
He’s not sitting there acting like he’s some kind of genius, but instead bluntly saying, essentially, “I experienced something special at one time, but it was a special moment (‘moment’ being the salad days of his creativity, not just that one song) that has passed.”  
He could have said, “Well, Ed, I’m tryin’” or, “I think my new stuff is just as good,” or, “an artist evolves…” etc.  

I just appreciate that he showed that humility, that kind of respect for this thing we’re talking about; the intangible, mysterious forces that seem to motivate these moments in history when artists produce incredible work.
