They also had individuals placed in booths around a central auditorium, miked their conversations, and replayed them simultaneously in an eighteen-channel remix. By 1965 this show had morphed into a program called \"We R All One,\" in which USCO deployed slide and film projections, oscilloscopes, music, strobes, and live dancers to create a sensory cacophony. At the end of the performance, the lights would go down, and for ten minutes the audience would hear multiple \"Om's\" from the speakers. According to Stern, the show was designed to lead viewers from \"overload to spiritual meditation.\"19 In the final moments, the audience was to experience the mystical unity that ostensibly bound together USCO's members.”",
