"Set in Amsterdam, a heroic dose of magic mushrooms sets the hero's journey of a young artist in motion, as he undergoes a perceptual apocalypse that dismantles the known world from the inside out."

Self Portraits As Other People

The Trip Before The Fall (Solo Pod)

(((Headphones recommended for optimal enjoyment))) Anthony Peake is the author of 11 books. Their names should clue you in to the kind of subject matter that saturates his research. His titles include Is There Life After Death: The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When We Die,The Daemon: A Guide To Your Extraordinary Secret Self, The Hidden Universe,The Out Of Body Experience, The Infinite Mindfield, Philip K. Dick: The Man Who Remembered The Future, Opening The Doors of Perception, The Labyrinth of Time, & others. He is currently working on his 12th volume, which bears the title of the investigative theory he’s been outlining in the aforementioned labyrinth of tomes: Cheating The Ferryman: Welcome to the Youniverse. We get the chance to dig deep & excavate the philosophical/practical applications of this theory, which proposes that death is a scientific impossibility, & that we relive & rewrite the same life over & over in a fully immersive, brain-generated, virtual-reality life review. Each cycle is, in effect, Your Life: the Daemonic Director’s Cut. Before we delve into the conversation I relay a detailed, soundscaped entheogenic experience, in which I experienced profound insights that exemplify many facets of what Anthony’s vision proposes.

Jasun Horsley is a sharp but subtle thinker who describes himself as "an existential detective in chronic confession mode". A prolific writer, he has published countless books, blog posts, & articles. He also hosts The Liminalist podcast, where we did a follow-up conversation. Initially reluctant, a series of uncanny coincidences lured me deeper into his realm, where I discovered a treasure trove of parallel processes, insights, & reflections. In this episode we cast a sobering glance at the potentially dissociative perils of visionary experiences & the integrative appeal of trauma as the gateway to becoming fully incarnated.

Jasun Horsley - Crucial Fictions & Lucid Trauma

Stuart Davis is a multimedia artist w/ a brilliant madcap mind. 10 years ago, while meditating during a fever, he was visited by an 8ft tall mantis entity, opening up a sync-holy vortex & setting a series of synchronicities in motion. These uncanny occurances inspired a forthcoming film called "Mant1s". He's also the creator of a meditative language called IS, published the essay "ET Presence & The Forfeiture of Human Sovereignty", & just launched his podcast Aliens & Artists. We talk about the multiplicity of identity, the influence of non-human intelligences on art (& vice versa), & more. Loga, the oneironaut from ep1--the one w/ the pineal tumor & a choir of selves presided over by a tumultuous trickster--makes a brief cameo appearance.

Stuart Davis - The Mantic Antics of a Twisted Mystic

(Headphone recommended for optimal immersion in the intro) Morgan Sorne is a multi-dimensional storyteller, visual artist, and composer. We talk about self-mythologization, embodying archetypal charisma, and how taking fictional liberties invites critical thinking and imagination. We gab about the influence of dream, deep listening, and giving voice to forces both earthly and otherworldly. We riff on modular storytelling, world-building, song-drawings, and the "DIY-VR" quality of composing with picture perfect pitch. Oh, and the Florida Man archetype.

Morgan Sorne - Resourceful Sorcery

(Headphones recommended) I'm taking this opportunity to go solo to share some musings, perspectives, & reflections on the current situation by sending a trippy lil broadcast from my cozy little quarantine to yours. I hope it puts a smile on your face & thoughts in your mind, & that this blend of cosmic, comedic, & contemplative content is a welcome distraction into the heartland. At any rate, you’ll learn a few (bad) words in Dutch. Originally, I just wanted to share a short, sound-scaped story called “The Man in the Jungle” with you (previously only available on my Patreon page) in order to cross-reference my recent appearances on the Third Eye Drops podcast and The Cosmic Nod podcast—both of which were heavily Ayahuasca themed—just like the story. But then the apocalypse started, so I thought why not ponder & pander to the pandemic theme for a few bars, & tie it in to the tale by riffing on the shipibo-placebo model of healing through the imagination. So here’s all of that, & more. You'd be missing out, but if you wanna skip straight to the story—it starts about 21 minutes in. I’ll be back soon with episode 5, featuring multi-dimensional artist & musician Morgan Sorne. I suggest you start familiarizing yourself with his work before the next episode drops, starting here. Until then, stay safe & stay the hell away from each other! ;-) ways to support the show: -Share it! -give us a five star rating -share your pretty words in a review -patreonize us (www.patreon.com/voiddenizen) -donate via Venmo (@voiddenizen) or paypal (snailconvention@gmail.com) Links mentioned in this episode: -3rd Eye Drops, episode 193 -Cosmic Nod (episode drops Friday 4/3.

The Pandemic as Societal Tuning Fork in the Road

This episode is an exploration of song (aka "space-craft") as a tool with which to navigate landscapes and mindscapes, and as a means through which to gain entranced entrance into the mystic/mythic dimensions of the psyche. Travis is a true troubador, and together we explore the world of songcrafting, lyricism, the realms of fae, and the graceful race of ugly goblins that dance around in his mind.

Travis Puntarelli - Current Channels & Rivers of Song

I present you with a bonus feature to celebrate the launch of my brand new Patreon page and to tide you over while I finish up Episode 4 (coming sooooon). This little storytime transmission is only about twenty minutes long for a change! And though there's no guest, it is a self portrait as another person, because it's not my neutral voice narrating here, but an "altered ego", whose babble sounds like "the ranted banter you might overhear at a mixer of tricksters". His telling touches onto some of the recurring themes of the show--the limits of language, the fringes of reality, psychedelics, shamanism, literature as a metaphor for immortality, death and resurrection, etc-- as well as foreshadowing some of themes we'll discuss on the next episode, which will be titled "Current Channels and Rivers of Song". Aaaaaand there's an extra bonus segment that starts around the ten minute mark, a tale of enchantment laid to rest on a bed of sound. This segment reflects specifically on the sound and sorcery of an "adept witchdoctor", his soft whistling, and the manner in which his masterfully regulated breath effects the minds and bodies of the patients over whom he presides with this form of subtle, psychic surgery. (Oh, and there's a field recording that functions as an outro theme, sung by shipibo shaman Don Cesar aka Sui Metza) If you'd like to support me, steep deeper into the psychedelic storytelling stew, and get exposed to more exclusive material like this, please visit http://www.patreon.com/voiddenizen The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo IG: @void_denizen For writings, art, films, music, and shop visit: www.voidandimagination.com for questions, comments, concerns, or comissions: snailconvention@gmail.com This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

The World Is My Stage, But I Perform On The Page

Desperation. Isolation. Desolation. Autonomy. Individuation. Imagination. These are some of the themes we cover in our conversation as we wade through both shadow and sunshine, casting our shades upon the Source and shielding our brow in salute of saucer and Self! Craig Deininger is a desert dwelling poet, a scholar of depth psychology and comparative mythology, a teacher, and a long time Transcendental Meditator. Join us as we talk the walk up to the precipice, beyond which you can only venture if you let your language off the leash and watch the words behave in wild and wily ways.

Craig Deininger - Rejected By Aliens

In this diffi-cultish episode we navigate the orchard of twisted beauty in which a shade-grown tree named Trius grew up, contorting his way into the light to produce the strange fruit we call art. Trius is a painter who was born into the infamous Moonie cult, and who has spent a great deal of his life trying to rid himself from the stains left by their indoctrinated worldview. We explore how the traumatic distortions of this origin story continue to play out in his psyche, and the role that art plays in the reclamation of freedom and mind. Also, he recently escaped from a Czech hospital that may or may not have been run by the mafia. I have prepared a page full of shownotes and related artworks by Trius that you can dive into here: https://medium.com/@voiddenizen/self-portraits-as-other-people-ep-2-198a3c911a36 Learn more about Trius' art at www.triusart.blogspot.com The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo IG: @void_denizen For writings, art, films, music, and shop visit: www.voidandimagination.com for questions, comments, concerns, or comissions: snailconvention@gmail.com if you wish to help support the podcast Venmo: @voiddenizen or PayPal (cabweasel@hotmail.com)
