You also realize all psychedelic artwork is only an imitation of an experience in another state of mind, amirite? Glad you enjoyed it, amigo, and I'm glad Hubski could give you some input before you took the leap.2. The importance of encountering a phenomenon you cannot put into language is the highest beauty, and forces you to confront your own worldview, which is after all, linguistically constructed.
Yes, definitely. It would be interesting to be standing in front of a canvas while on aya. Since researching about psychedelics I've developed a new appreciate for art in general.You also realize all psychedelic artwork is only an imitation of an experience in another state of mind, amirate?
Did you ever get around to reading The Doors of Perception? I remember Huxley comments a lot on his interpretations of art under the influence of psilocybin.
Yes I did! What a great book. One of my favourite quotes reflects an interesting phenomenon of space-time dimensionality becoming superseded by informational properties:Did you ever get around to reading The Doors of Perception?
I saw books, but was not at all concerned with their positions in space. What I noticed, what impressed itself upon my mind was the fact that all of them were glowing with living light and that in some the glory was more manifest than in others. In this context position and the three dimensions were beside the point. Not, of course, that the category of space had been abolished. When I got up and walked about, I could do so quite normally, without misjudging the whereabouts of objects. Space was still there; but it had lost its predominance. The mind was primarily concerned, not with measures and locations, but with being and meaning.
I have wanted to talk about this for a while. After experiencing psychedelics, a lot of artwork out there claiming to represent that state of existence seems to be invalid and some legitimate.
