Greetings.

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space. This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

And if you've been with us here in the salon for a while, well, then you know that today's podcast has been a long time coming.

At last, we're about to hear Brother David Stendell Rast read the second chapter of the Rose of Paracelsus by Leonard Picard, followed by commentary

from Mark Schoeneman, and comments by the producers of this program, Alexa and Kat Lakey,

as well as some comments from Leonard Picard himself.

This is a long program today, and so I'm going to keep my comments to a minimum.

However, at the end of this podcast, I am adding a brief message about the current world situation

as we struggle with a global pandemic, an economic catastrophe, environmental destruction,

and widespread racism and police brutality here in the United States. If ever there

was a time to listen to some calm voices, I think it's probably now. So here are the Lakey

Sisters who will introduce today's podcast. Hello and welcome to the next installment of William Leonard Picard's The Rose of Paracelsus on Secrets and Sacraments.

My name is Alexa.

And my name's Kat.

This is the third episode of the series.

So if you are unfamiliar with this podcast, we recommend going back to listen to our introductory episode, explaining Leonard Picard's story,

as well as chapter one of the book titled Highlander, which is read from inside a maximum

security prison by Leonard himself. This episode is unique in that this chapter will be read

by the world-famous Benedictine monk, Brother David Steindle Ross.
