On a quest for God.

Stumbling around,

taking drugs.

Kind of like a blind

girl in a Forest,

Let me hit that now.

Linda, I want you to come to

the Ranch with me this time.

Just for a few days.

Charlie acts from his soul.

Charlie is the man that

weve all been waiting for.

I was living in this

apartment, with my Dog,

and my life was

really routine.

Id just go to work,

go home, go shopping.

Go to work, go

home, go shopping.

And, it was really a drag.

And then Charlie blows in

and he just

changed everything.

And I dropped it all.

And I just took off.

He brought out all

these things in me

that I was just

sticking in slots.

When Charlie got out,

he was 33,

hed been locked

up since he was 13.

And he was lonely.

And this was the first time

he had a group of women

that cared about him,

that loved him.

And Charlie loved those girls.

He treated them

with plenty of respect.

Well, I was trying to get

close to Charlies girls.

Its astounding that

Charlie even knew Dennis,

and that we were

all living in this

rock stars mansion

in the first place.

But then Dennis wised up

and kicked us all out.

Theres a lot of

acid at the ranch.

Well of course I went

where the girls went.

I followed them

out to the ranch,

and tried to integrate

myself with Charlie.

I came to you with all

the love in my heart.

And you slaughtered me man.

You slaughtered me.

And now I gotta hide,

I gotta hide my soul

so you wont kill me.

And thats why the

kids have to hide,

They come out and

their parents say

shut up get back

inside of yourself.

You dont need

to be so bright,

cause then weve got

to judge ourselves.

They hate to

look at themselves.

They hate to look at the

truth in themselves man.

They persecute themselves.

Charlie,

this is Tex.

You can have anything I got.

Charlie wasnt

the leader at all.

He followed us around

and took care of us.

Are you ready to die?

Yes I am.

Then live forever!

Being accepted by

the Family and Charlie

was like an answer

an answer to an

unspoken prayer.

Before his

Helter Skelter trip,

everything was beautiful.

All we did was smoke grass,

and drop acid,

and make love,

as much as possible.

We were forced to

examine our souls,

not privately, or secretly,

but before Charlie

and the entire family.

I mean, really, everything

that everything was for,

was for f***ing.

Thats what everything

was for, Man.

To unify ourselves with LSD.

I mean, if we

werent f***ing,

we were leading up to it.

It was heavy.

And if we werent leading

up to it, we were f***ing.

I didnt have any

experience with group sex,

but I warmed up to it.

The girls kept telling me,

that it was my
