00:00So, uh, tell me about yourself, Lonnie, and your, uh, people.
00:09My people.
00:12I like the sound of that.
00:15You know, it reminds me of the words of Jesus.
00:20To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation?
00:24What are they like?
00:27I was up in San Francisco for a long time, living in Haight-Ashbury, on the streets, all over.
00:34And we did everything, and everyone.
00:39But that was the point.
00:41You see, the drugs, it's a quest.
00:49For what?
00:51For God.
00:54How can you not see that?
00:57There is an entire generation right now, searching for God.
01:03Everyone is accepted here.
01:07We love each other freely, and without discrimination.
01:15There are no facades.
01:18No lies.
01:21No masks.
01:23Just a relentless pursuit of the truth by those who have expanded their consciousness.
01:32Man, we thought acid was going to save the world.
01:35Thank you.
01:36Thanks, Mom.
01:38But that was a lie.
01:40As much of a lie as what we were rebelling against.
01:44And what brought you to that realization?
01:48I kept searching and searching, and I just finally got to the end of it.
01:54And there was still a void.
01:56And my people, well, they're a desperate bunch.
02:04And desperation.
02:07Man, there's power in that word.
02:12What would it take for you, Chuck Smith, to be desperate?
02:17The psychedelic experience is a confrontation with the divine.
02:24It's a spiritual awakening.
02:27You come back, and you define God the best you can.
02:36So turn on.
02:38Tune in.
02:40And drop out.
02:43Start a new sequence of behavior that matches your vision.
02:53Be reborn.
03:14Jeanette tells me you're a pastor.
03:18Yes.
03:20Currently.
03:23I know we must seem pretty strange.
03:28But if you look a little deeper.
03:30If you look with love.
03:33You'll see a bunch of kids that are searching for all the right things.
03:38Just in all the wrong places.
03:44So to answer your question.
03:47How do I describe my people?
03:55And the trouble is, your people reject them.
04:04So I ask you, pastor, how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?
04:13We can only walk through doors open to us.
04:18And your church?
04:23Well, that's a door that's shut.
04:25Because it's very cheap.
04:31I don't think in the wrong places.
04:33I don't know.
04:47You might be a little over there.
