Alex Grey - TEDx

#18056466 - 04/04/13 07:34 AM (13 years, 5 months ago)

I figured some of you would like to watch this. It would be cool to visit his property sometime.

It's nice to see people who have used hallucinogens go on to be successful and credit those experiences as a positive influence.

Alex grey is such a laid back dude, good hearted family man, and fellow psychonaut.

i throughly enjoyed when he was a guest on the joe rogan podcast.

good artist as well!

I'd say they will probably take it down soon, but I think they suffered a bit of a backlash for trying to censor Graham Hancock's lecture. I don't think they will make a fuss about it this time.

in OP's video he talks about both of these performances.

i'd give that vid a better watch, and visit his website if this changes your views at all.

Alex Grey is an artist. Hancock is a charlatan. I don't see how these situations are at all similar. :billnye:

I really, really liked this video.

"the light was love, and it connected us all"

I hadn't seen the galaxy painting at the end before either, that's one of my favorites. I want to see it as a print or something so I can study it more. I love that they are going to 3-D print Entheon as well, way cool. Really great video by a really great human and spiritual being. Thanks for posting.

I'm a big fan of Graham Hancock. I haven't read any of his books yet but I've seen some videos of his and attended a lecture of his about ayahuasca and spiritual experiences. It was damn good. I'm not sure if the charlatan combo was tongue in cheek or not. I've talked to him before and he seems like a really genuine guy. Plus if you watched his talk that got pulled off of Ted, you can see how much he believes in what he's talking about. But this is better suited for the Hancock Ted thread, not this one.

Because his whole career past Fingerprints of the Gods was to make shit up that sounds good to people as he went along, to keep the money and the fame, to a lighter degree, pouring in.

Ted Haggard sounded like he believed everything he said in church too, but was blowing male prostitutes for meth behind the scenes. That's what charlatans do, they sound confident, because they're con men.

It doesn't matter to Graham Hancock when shit he writes is thoroughly debunked, he does not go back and revise his theories. Now he's peddling ayahuasca mysticism because it's hot with his demographic and it's hard for him to go further than people coming from Mars.

TL;DR - He sells you what you want to believe.

Alright, well I'm not buying that. But that's cool. There's really no way for either of us to be proven right or wrong. All I know is I do believe that he believes in what he's saying. No need to clutter the Alex Grey thread with this though.
