Synopsis

‘We have this Jewel Together’ ‘Psychedelic art is informed by the notion that altered states of consciousness produced by psychedelic drugs are a source of artistic inspiration. The psychedelic art movement is similar to the surrealist movement in that it prescribes a mechanism for obtaining inspiration. Whereas the mechanism for surrealism is the observance of dreams, a psychedelic artist turns to drug induced hallucinations. Both movements have strong ties to important developments in science. Whereas the surrealist was fascinated by Freud's theory of the unconscious, the psychedelic artist has been literally "turned on" by Albert Hofmann's discovery of LSD.’‘The Beatniks recognized the role of psychedelics as sacred inebriants in Native American religious ritual, and also had an understanding of the philosophy of the surrealist and symbolist poets who called for a "complete disorientation of the senses" (to paraphrase Arthur Rimbaud). They knew that altered states of consciousness played a role in Eastern Mysticism. They were hip to psychedelics as psychiatric medicine. LSD was the perfect catalyst to electrify the eclectic mix of ideas assembled by the Beats into a cathartic, mass-distributed panacea for the soul of the succeeding generation.’ ‘Computer art has allowed for an even greater and more profuse expression of psychedelic vision. Fractal generating software gives an accurate depiction of psychedelic hallucinatory patterns. The "digital revolution" was indeed heralded early on as the "New LSD" by none other than Timothy Leary.’‘Concurrent to the rave movement of the 1990’s and in key respects integral to it, are the development of new mind-altering drugs, most notably, MDMA (Ecstasy). Ecstasy, like LSD, has had a tangible influence on culture and aesthetics, particularly the aesthetics of rave culture. But MDMA is (arguably) not a real psychedelic, but is described by psychologists as an entactogen. Development of new psychedelics such as 2C-B and related compounds (developed primarily by chemist Alexander Shulgin) are truly psychedelic, and these novel psychedelics are fertile ground for artistic exploration since many of the new psychedelics possess their own unique properties that will affect the artist's vision accordingly.’ Wikipedia.*Sunny Jetsun invites you to share in this synchronistic, magical, integrated, natural world of energetic Space and to have an open mind, to accept intuitively the notion that all of our experiences, either Conscious or sub-conscious ultimately add new colours to our tapestry of life. This high-tech, DNA. Quantum, metaphysical, multi-dimensional, Planet Earth that we as humans are experiencing leads us on a journey to the stars. This expansion of perception allows the Universe to affect our consciousness and show us the inner kaleidoscopic, wonders of the omnipresent Spirit.
