Ayahuasca VR 2

Posting this here because it is an attempt to take a philosophical interpretation of art. Here is a sort of a virtual reality video game trying to explain the Ayahuasca experience. It can never hope to capture the full scope of such an experience...too much of a head trip to capture with just video. About 20 years back I had some very intense Aya experiences. Some of the effects were previously unknown to me...like hearing the world talk to me in words I could telepathically understand...hugely increased sense of hearing . I never had the jungle/anaconda imagery many report, but truly my "jungle" has always been mostly urban America. I don't think this bears any resemblance to my experiences, but I appreciate the approach and the attempt to inject philosophy into some truly beautiful artwork. Video of the game

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Cool post IMO
I think that as technology advances there is going to be an opportunity to inject different experiences in new and unique ways. There is a reason that dialogue about art being shaped by the medium upon which it is created has legs. In what ways does art become shaped as computer-brain interfaces become more commonplace? Or more generally as we find new and novel ways to link technology to our senses.
I think pleasure will dominate the marketplace myself but there seems to always be minority usages for certain types of seekers. Just some thoughts.

Wish I could try this at home, I've got a VR setup and would love it if they'd release this publicly.

I usually (70% of the time) get those mandalas forming overtop of the Open Eye scenery if using some lysergic, and adding a toke or 2 of cannabis. They have exquisite filigree golden radiant symmetries and they wrap or plaster over skins and surfaces. usually it happens when the lights are quite low.
The Vines and vertigo 3d spaces etc. come to me on salvia as CEV but also on psyches sometimes.
The separation from an underlying scene (the video depicts just the mandala at the end alone with no scene) is unusual for me, usually the scene is what becomes enhanced, but I am a low dose user.

It's interesting that people think they're transcending their brain... Meanwhile missing the great mystery and infinitude therein.
