"Psychedelics transform us through felt experience....The reason venture capitalists, Transhumanists and longevity obsessives are terrible stewards of these experiences is that they... see the world primarily through the lens of quantity." beiner.substack.com/p/bryan-johnso…

A made a concept piece based on Carl Jung’s Red Book More on his state of mind. The actual artwork in this book is so stunning. I feel like his take on the collective consciousness is what ai is today. A collective of all consciousness available to all. Lyrics by me and song made using Suno. #ai #aiart #aivideo

We've amputated the sacred dimension of reality and yet the wound still bleeds. But that realization (painful though it is) can become a turning point. It gestures toward a deeper mode of attunement: Religio The sacred binding that connects us to reality in all its depth and fullness. Religio not in the institutional sense but in its original meaning: The binding force, the connectedness between self and world. The enacted realization that meaning is not manufactured but disclosed when we are rightly related to reality. On the horizontal axis this includes your connection to others (family, friends, community) but also to the world itself. When you gaze at the night sky and feel awe, or when you enter deep dialogue with another person. The vertical axis relates to your inner structure, the relationship between your capacity to act (agency), your sense of ongoing identity (selfhood), and your unfolding depth as a moral and spiritual being (personhood). Religio is the name for the connective tissue that makes all of this coherent. It is what allows you to live in a world rather than merely occupy a space. It is afforded by an ecology of practices that lets you become a person rather than just a bundle of preferences.

At the root of the human predicament is the inversion of the hierarchy between abstraction/parts and embodiment/whole. That's the diagnosis of brilliant psychiatrist @dr_mcgilchrist, and the thesis of Leviathan — a powerful new documentary by @AlexanderBeiner. Specifically: ✨Embodiment/whole should be the master, and abstraction/parts should be the emissary✨ This is a potent place to land a diagnosis because: 1⃣ It puts humanity on the same team! Instead of us against them, it's humanity against a relatively recent propensity of ours. 2⃣ The relationship between abstraction and embodiment is something that manifests itself at all levels of organization. And something we all have agency around. For example: every week, I observe Shabbat. I spend 6 days a week abstracting and manipulating parts, and 1 holy day embodying and revering the whole. This diagnosis makes something as seemingly simple as observing a Shabbat a way to face the Leviathan. Watch the full documentary: beiner.substack.com/p/leviathan-fu…

YT algo suggested a channel called Kainos with some dudes named @dr_mcgilchrist @AlexanderBeiner talking about the state of "things." Never heard of either, but the conversation covered some truly relevant topics. Very interesting. Nice Work!!! Keep it up!!! ⭐️ { all <3 || no h8 }

@cube_flipper It might be worth connecting with some psychedelic neuroscientists - I know many if you DM me - possibly worth them trying Iboga as it has a positive effect on traumatic brain injury - I’m not a scientist so just a guess but seems like anything is worth exploring

also posting here in the small hope there's an OCD specialist or meditation teacher here on twitter who might be able to recommend something that could help.

We tend to think that if we just adopt the right beliefs—we’ll somehow reconnect with the sacred. But this arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of the condition we find ourselves in: The Enlightenment radically transformed the very grammar by which we once oriented ourselves to the sacred. Let me explain…

Disconnected Abstraction has overtaken 'Touching Grass' for millenia.. and it's slowly become catastrophic. My quick summary of Leviathan — a new, thought-provoking doco. How do we get back into Right Relation with the living world? How far back does this Wrong Story go?
Alexander Beiner@AlexanderBeiner

'Leviathan' is my first feature-length documentary, starring @yanisvaroufakis, @NoraBateson, @rushkoff, Minna Salami and John Vervaeke. Exploring our social, economic, and technological reality to reveal how we can transform systems. Premiering on the Kainos Substack on June 26.

@beefanddairy Well said. At the end of the day music is just air gravy, and you can’t have gravy without beef.
