Again, thank you for sharing so deeply.

All of it resonates and excites me to keep pursuing the arts, especially the part about the serpent stirred something in me.

I have encountered many serpents, in dreams and visions, even long before I considered myself an artist. I've been swallowed and transported to other places, merged with their skin and taken to the underworld.

It is somewhat re-assuring to hear others story, as the terrain sometimes feels a bit slippery.

Sort:  

Sounds like you have had some experience with Ayahuasca. I’d love to hear more some time. I’ve had 4 journeys in Brazil. A long time ago but even so, I think about them several times a week. Was such a magical period. Things were very gnarly the first night. I thought a man was going to die. He was vomiting so much, paralyzed and blind, but we pulled him through. He took the potion again the next night like a champ.

It's been a major catalyst for my creativity. I wasn't painting or drawing much before, and i feel like it's helped me grow much faster. I'll do a writeup about it one day, it has really changed my life in an amazing way, and it still is.

Yeah I would be really interested to read your experiences. I love a bit of voyeurism into the psychedelic mindscape. It's most fascinating how the other dimension is alive itself and exists as an overarching, interpenetrating, experience-gifting organism.
