Why is the worldβs oldest artwork thought to be psychedelically inspired? What does sound look like on mescaline? What do blind people see on psychedelics? Is it possible in altered states to see the extra space-time dimensions proposed by physicists? How does it feel to have your asymmetry sung straight? People describe the weirdest experiences on psychedelics, β¦ even spiders make strange webs under the influence. What can be understood about art and perception from scientific research into psychedelics?
David Luke, PhD, is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Greenwich, UK, where he teaches an undergraduate course on the Psychology of Exceptional Human Experiences, focusing on his two main interests of psychedelics and the paranormal. He is also a guest lecturer at the University of Northampton, UK, for the MSc in Transpersonal Psychology and Consciousness Studies and is past president of the Parapsychological Association.

Sounds like this would have been fun. I suppose I will catch up with Dr. Luke some other time. Global, we tried blowing micro changa hits at a spider who was making a web. He stopped spinning and stayed perfectly still for a loooong time. We thought he was dead. Then he up and crawled away, never to be seen again. Abandoned his web and all. Guess he had that old "my life is meaningless" trip. Heheheheh "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha
