Under this name, the Starfish Cabal known a drug that lets you see worlds beyond our own. Whether this substance really exists seems questionable. An important component of beetle juice is the radiation of a very special star. According to legend, this radiation is absorbed by the pineal gland, where it is converted into a chemical compound that is essential for beetle juice. But why am I writing about beetle juice here? Well, it's about opening a gateway. A gateway to the stars to immeasurable, cosmic wisdom and all-encompassing knowledge. This gate is open to us every night and it doesn't take much to pass through it. Just a little madness and a little delusion, a spark of courage and the power of imagination and you can enter worlds beyond our own, worlds that the cosmos creates together with you.

Every star you see in the sky produces or generated light and this light is a carrier of information. The information of the star. It sometimes travels for thousands of years through the vastness of space before it hits a small planet on a warm summer's night and there hits the pineal gland of a phoenix lying on its back in a meadow somewhere, gazing into the endless cosmos, dreaming and absorbing the energy of millions of suns. The secret is to get lost. Look into the sky and get lost in it. Get lost in the cosmos, in billions of stars and the infinite vastness. Absorb its energy and feel the power of light created by the nuclear fusion of millions and millions of tons of hydrogen. And that light, created by forces you cannot even remotely imagine and charged with the information of its star, now meets you after thousands of years and connects with you to form a cosmic network of all-encompassing information. Appreciate the cosmos little Phool.

And that's what the Starfish Gates are all about. Simply lying there, losing yourself, consciously absorbing the light of the stars and detaching yourself from your thoughts. To connect with the cosmos through the orbits of light and thereby attain gnosis.

… then both voices together with the grace of the most wonderful angel choirs - Look into the stars - and he looked into the stars. That is, he thought he was looking into a sea because he saw a dark blue ocean in which strangely shaped, partly burning, five-rayed starfish were lying, drifting slowly and leisurely through the endless dark blue of the ocean. This had a very calming effect on him. What particularly fascinated him was the fact that he could see more and more details the longer he looked and that these details revealed further details that could also be seen if you looked long enough at one spot. The burning starfish, for example, seemed to constantly spit out more small starfish like sparks from the flames of a bonfire, and if you followed the path of one such star, you could see them raining down on tiny planets that got bigger and bigger the longer you looked at them. On small barren worlds, with toxic atmospheres caused by the eternal spewing of oversized volcanoes, these tiny starfish rained down into dark blue oceans where they lay, gliding slowly and leisurely through the endless tides. They began to move and gradually, then faster and faster, formed small collectives, which ate each other and then disappeared at the same speed, after which both groups swam on again as if nothing had happened. One of these collectives of miniature starfish began to writhe and soon formed the shape of a five-rayed starfish, floating in the dark blue of the endless ocean … before hitting land. He crawled slowly forward but it seemed as if he was only granted a short life in this poisoned atmosphere because he rattled briefly before his strength gave out and he collapsed on the beach. But small spikes rose from the waves that crashed onto the beach and wide starfish began the march of their predecessor. Many failed but some survived and crawled on. He saw that one had one of its tips stuck in the sand and its remaining four arms now formed a flower from which more tiny starfish streamed out, falling into the sand and disappearing there, only to grow to a considerable size shortly afterwards in the same way as their creator and quickly dominating the picture in all possible variations. Tendrils of white glowing starfish plants with magnificent white glowing starfish flowers in the night sky from which a panic-stricken starfish burst, running on four arms and using the fifth arm for its head, pursued by another, faster starfish creature that devoured the first and just as quickly left again. Both ran away from each other and the one his gaze followed with fascination swung himself up on the branch of a starfish tree and landed on a black plain, no longer standing on four arms but on two. He walked until he met a second one who was also walking on two arms and the two embraced. When the embrace broke, he saw many small, white glowing starfish in the darkness of the revealed embrace. And the one he was watching was standing on a strange planet and pointing with one arm into the black sky in which thousands and thousands of small white starfish sparkled. He was totally gone. - Beetle Juicccceee Ha H a h a h a h a -
