The Beatles was, and still is one of the most influential musical groups of all time. From the very beginning, with the song I saw Her Standing There, they have been concealing insights and a duplicate context in most of their music. Some of you have browsed our entheogens section, and perhaps even made the pilgrimage to Huautla in Oaxaca, Mexico where the Beatles used to visit to take the sacred mushroom. If you have done this recently, then its likely you heard the forest beatles, and saw Her standing there yourself.

The Beatles' lyrics have always contained a hidden context, however as the band progressed through their career, they made it more obvious until they were singing about topics that uninitiated fans did not even understand, and their hidden context became more of an abstract art for those in the know. For instance, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, is likely an abbreviation for Lucid in the sky with diamonds. I asked someone's opinion about the Beatles as a group, she responded, "they were great until they got into the drugs". However, they were "into the drugs" (mushrooms) before they were into music. Entheogens inspired the entire collection.
