“Why are we uncomfortable with the sensation of falling? We have done nothing but fall lately. So why does falling bother us now? Let us use our critical and creative capacities to build colourful parachutes. Let us think about space not as a confined place, but as the cosmos into which we can fall with colourful parachutes.” Ailton Krenak
Diana Joels concepDUAL What
Enjoy a psychedelic experience.
Where
Somewhere you feel safe. The setting is extremely important! Mind the lights, the sounds, the smells, the space and the people around you.
How
You will basically need stimulus. I’ve had an extremely powerful psychedelic experience ignited by visual and sound stimuli in the perceptual cell “Bindu Shards” by James Turrell. On the opposite, a very silent and dark (real zero light pollution!) natural environment has enabled me to see so many stars and feel so close to the sky, that it triggered a deep spiritual connection to nature and the cosmos. It is also possible to find stimulus in psychoactive natural substances such as ayahuasca, certain fungi or seeds, that will guide you in accessing new perspectives of yourself and the world around you.
When
Whenever you feel positive about it. Anytime a safe opportunity appears - like a James Turrell exhibition featuring his perceptual cells - don’t hesitate! But, don’t wait for opportunities to appear. Go after them - a trip to the wilderness in good company surely needs to be planned!
Why
I believe we must deeply feel our connection to the planet and the cosmos to be able to truly develop a conscious existence as individuals and society. Psychedelic experiences are enlightening opportunities to straighten that connection with nature, as we experience the perception of our own lives in revealing ways, visible partly through patterns of light and colour in our minds. www.concepdual.com.br
