no thanks. i'll leave that whole business of being hypnotized/programmed by a black box up to the manaquins, zombies and other walking dead among us. i do enjoy optical stimuli, however, i prefer other methods such as mandalas, visualizers(milk drop for winamp and pretty much anything from lightsource). i also like artists such as mati klarwein, luke brown, alex grey, Storm Thorgerson, robert venosa, android jones, XAVI, mear-1, doze green, chris cunningham, michael gondry, paul lafolley, the arcturians, derek hess and pod collective type stuff.
i read them as often as i can. they force me to open my mind and shut my mouth. we could all use a little more of that.
i have been inspired by/admire the works of terrence mckenna, robert anton wilson, bill hicks, daniel quinn, castenada, lao tzu and many others.
