“…we should be mindful of the significant distorting effect created by #Prohibition: in most jurisdictions from which our current understanding of the #politicsofpsychedelics is drawn, these are largely still banned substances. That many of the political expressions of #psychedelicexperience under these conditions may seem ‘#extreme’ is to be expected, since the majority of the population does not wilfully defy the law or cavort in cavalier fashion with what doctors still mainly tell them are drugs fraught with danger: drug use under Prohibition has always been the pursuit of a small minority, whose defiance of the law is inimical to the consensual centre-ground and whose #radicalism (part of their “set”) we should expect to be amplified by the use of #psychedelics.

However, this tells us little about the likely political ramifications of a future mainstreaming of psychedelics, with the easing of Prohibition.”

“This article liberates discussion of the #politicsofPsychedelics from its present impasse. Across ten theses, it asserts that #psychedelics are interruptive #deautomating political technologies, which makes them conducive to democratic politics, in the radical sense: rather than consolidating liberal-democratic systems of representative or managed democracy, #psychedelicexperience tends to open such regimes up to the ferment of radical #democracy. To conceptualise the political ramifications of psychedelics requires that #psychedelicmysticism and the phenomenology of psychedelic experience be reconceived in ways which give due recognition to their embodied, agential and politically potentiating dimensions, which involves correcting restrictively neuro-centric conceptions of psychedelic mysticism and expanding incomplete phenomenologies. It further requires that the “deautomating” dimensions of psychedelic experience be conceptualised alongside an analysis of the prevailing anti-democratic forces of automation, administrative reason and computationalist abstraction.”

"Purple Haze" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and released as the second single by #theJimiHendrixExperience on March 17, 1967, in the United Kingdom. The song features his inventive guitar playing, which uses the signature #HendrixChord and a mix of blues and Eastern modalities, shaped by novel sound processing techniques. Because of ambiguities in the lyrics, listeners often interpret the song as referring to a #psychedelicExperience.

Description

A mystical, surreal abstract film recreating a psychedelic experience produced under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, accompanied by a voodoo score.

“Patricia Marx was born in Queensland, Australia, and was a landscape painter and model there before moving to San Francisco. However, when she arrived, she found herself in the midst of fascinating non-objective painting and filmmaking activity. She was greatly influenced by the work of Harry Smith and Jordan Belson, and changed her own style to non-objective, receiving graphic inspiration from Jungian brain drawings, symbols in the occult sciences, and the design used by Eastern cultures, all of which being important elements in the San Francisco school mystical school of non-objective art”. (Robert Pike, “A Critical Study of the West Coast Experimental Film Movement”.
Presented at 1953 Art in Cinema Festival, IX International Design Conference in Aspen, 1961 Montreal and Melbourne Film Festivals).

Note: In addition to this being an excellent example of the San Francisco style of surreal, mystical abstract animations, this films is also the closest available comparison to the films of Jordan Belson produced during the same period: MAMBO and CARAVAN. These films have have been removed from distribution by Belson.

"Now that Republicans control the Senate and Congress some are hopeful that the #GOP can exercise its governing power to revive a #psychedelic movement that has shown signs of losing steam. Yet others warn that right-wing leadership could fast-track #psychedelics and prioritize the business side of the industry without ensuring equal priority to the “#integration” part of the #psychedelicexperience that comes with additional #mentalhealth and societal supports."

"Eight central attributes of secular spirituality can be identified: eclecticism, self-growth, relevance to life, self-direction, openness to wonder, authenticity beyond churches, metaphysical explanations, and communal and ecological morality. The persistence of both traditional and nontraditional forms of religiosity and spirituality should adjust the current popular views of secularism.
