This talk is great and Terence is in a particularly good mood. Enjoy.
I also wanna point you to this resource of eye-opening videos mainly based on Alan Watts and Terence Mckenna’s ideas, lectures and books:
Omega Point
Terence McKenna
On Cyber Culture
McKenna’s offers far-sighted perspectives on the cyber punk culture and virtual reality. I miss this kind of utopian thinking these days. Where are we heading for with our technology? What could be a positive ultimate goal of it?
Renzo Martens
Enjoy Poverty
Renzo Martens’ Enjoy Poverty is one of the most provocative films that have been circulating the art world since its release in 2009.
Enchanted Embodiment
and Ashtanga Yoga
Or what being present means to me. And why I practice Ashtanga Yoga.
Breath of the Gods
The origins of modern Yoga
The documentary investigates the origins of modern yoga and presents especially Krishnamacharya’s life and teachings.
Tuco Amalfi
The Source of Light is Within
I wanted to make a post about the Brazilian visionary artist Tuco Amalfi for some time already. Now I saw…
Jodorowsky’s Dune
Finally, the story of the greatest science fiction epic never made has finally been told. Jodorowsky’s Dune is a new documentary about that beautiful, crazy-ambitious, disaster of an adaptation.
DMT
The Spirit Molecule
I featured this documentary before but I feel it deserves to stand alone.
Terence McKenna
An Ocean of Ideas
In this lecture Terence unfolds an ocean of ideas, a metaphor for the psychedelic dimension you are sailing out onto to cast the net of the human imagination to retrieve novel ideas out of the chaos.
Hamzeh Carr
The Light of Asia
The Light of Asia is a famous narrative poem that tells the life and time of Prince Gautama Siddhartha, who after attaining enlightenment, became the Buddha.
Carl Gustav Jung
The Wisdom of the Dream
I’m reading the autobiography of Carl Gustav Jung. It was a name I’ve come across constantly and I knew there’s…
DMT Visions
Chronicles from Beyond
Language and all forms of image making are very insufficient means of representation. But the urge to try is strong.
Ernesto Neto
The body that carries me
I would describe the work of Ernesto Neto as ‘body art’. It’s a supreme example of art that communicates by bodily sensations.
Esther Teichmann
The dark viscosity of paradise
The synchronicity of discovering Esther Teichmann at this moment in my life is striking. I am surrounded by lush nature and the promise of the unknown speaks to me beyond language.
Eyvind Earle
Master of the trees
Eyvind Earle is a master of contemplative landscape paintings. To me these dream-like sceneries are highly hypnotising.
Aldous Huxley
The Gravity of Light
This film from 1997 pays homage to Aldous Huxley, the seer who was nearly blind. His cultural criticism and social prophecy still remind us of great dangers and infinite potentials.
The Ayahuasca Diaries
A Trip Inside
In April this year, I went to Peru for a month. The reason for this trip was my recent felt…
Marcelo Pinel
Cyber Mystic Garden
A laboratory in constant change, a small museum of desires and dreams that amuse the inner child.
Primitive Technology
The Satisfaction of Simplicity
Primitive Technology is a hobby where you make things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. This is the strict rule.
Richard Evans Schultes
The Father of Modern Ethnobotany
Richard Evans Schultes is the father of modern ethnobotany and some of his scholars carry on his heritage.
The Overview Effect
& Satellite imagery
Most probably I will never look down at mother ship earth from space. But some astronauts did when they set out to explore the final frontier.
