this thread will document some interesting things i come across as im working on a project called PSIDAR, (psychological spiritual imagery demonic archetype research).

the images can be read on a phone but they load compressed on a computer so ill include links.
this thread isnt the reason im doing this but i figure as i come across interesting data i may as well share it.

in case its not clear each single image will always be one person talking unless clearly indicated.
001 - 004

001: person who has never done psychedelics sees baphomet while meditating spontaneously, doesnt know what it is.

002: person on dmt meets a demonic entity that seeks to control them

003, 004: non-religious guy on dmt "goes to hell"

imgur.com/gallery/NcTc8UA
004b (gonna use the system of one person will be 004, 004b, 004c etc from now on)

same guy from before who "went to hell", after hundreds of dmt and ayahusca experiences, is converted from disbelief to a conventional model of demons and stops using dmt

imgur.com/gallery/nehPIi3
005, 005b

guy does form of ayahusaca with a whore that has a mystical aura. shes silent then presses her head to his. he feels a "voodoo spirit" enter his head + sees baphomet. starts to believe "simpler ideas" about death + god. no trip posts after this

imgur.com/gallery/OIXC6cP
006

non-religious guy concludes the positive things about DMT world are a facade concealing something sinister + "satanic", experiences demonic possession, very dark visions, beings cutting into his body, stops using DMT and still feels off months later

imgur.com/gallery/9dXNXGG
007

popular shamanic teacher hangs himself in a peru apartment, obviously after extended ayahuasca use and searching for knowledge along similar shamanic paths. journalist close with him says he hung himself to intentionally cross over to the other side

imgur.com/gallery/TKOs8zH
008

after recently deciding that "nothing matters, theres no absolute", man smokes DMT and meets a dark evil jester shadow entity in a red realm of blood visions, the being torments him and tells him "if nothing matters, you should kill your friends".

lots of really weird hostile responses to this thread. not that i care but i will just address this one time. im not trying to "prove anything" here, just documenting interesting phenomena. as an artist + person into mystical things, naturally this type of thing would interest me
ill be documenting various archetypes in this thread, some that overlap, some that do not, for a variety of reasons. if you're drawing some odd macro conclusion based on this youre probably projecting your own feelings onto me.

we now return to regularly scheduled programming.
009: guy is possessed / assaulted by dark energy possibly left behind by a friend

010, 010b: guy meets mayan god and starts a relationship with these beings (+ a jester)

011: guy is tortured by beings that look "devilish" and look like an aztec being

imgur.com/gallery/7cq4O46
012,012b: guy transforms into "hindu demons" and becomes a dark "malevolent spirit"

013, 013b: many people report interacting with jesters and seeing jesters
forgot the link on that last one, for anyone on desktop:

imgur.com/gallery/JY5jaUd
014: guys girlfriend has entities repeatedly tell her to kill herself, man describes his negative experience with entities

015, 015b, 015c: experiences of "soul surgery", beings doing a medical procedure on individuals supraphysical body, are very common

imgur.com/gallery/2ey3v4E
016, 016b: john c lilly, famous psychonaut, eventually came to the conclusion that he had been ushered into a cosmic hierarchical order that had some role in orchestrating things on earth, also experiences "psychic surgery"

this ties into the next images

imgur.com/gallery/7Ht1gcj
018: across the spectrum of those experimenting with esoterica, the occult, amateur shamanism, and/or psychedelics, the idea of being inducted into a cosmic hierarchical order of higher beings is extremely common + has strange overlap across time + place

it looks like the AI conversation is going to cement around “are artists are coping or not” but id like to submit a second option: that its worthy of skepticism that my broke friends are beholden to copyright laws that apparently don’t apply to tech people making a lot of money
the AI question really should be: are we doing wild west on copyright laws or not. if we are, okay - then that should apply to everyone. if we’re not - okay, then that should apply to everyone. everyone is basically arguing that now tech companies get to be the exception to them.
if my friends can get cease and desist letters for making fanart about a movie or franchise when money gets involved but a guy can also make a billion dollars feeding that movie and franchise into his image maker and selling access to it, i dont think its out of line to ask: what

one key aspect of postmodernism is that art styles are self-consciously deployed as pastiche. this means theyre just used as surface, for what they represent: they become interchangeable. these almost meaningless academic concepts will increasingly characterize your everyday life
when an entire artistic milieu is used just for what it represents, not what it actually is (this already happened a long time ago), the blowback is that it becomes impossible to genuinely use and engage with those milieus. you can’t decide to not be self aware of this process.
this is, in my opinion, the actual origin of what is called “stuck culture”. to start a “nu-metal” band would be referencing what “nu-metal” is. you and the audience would both know that you’re aware of this. that awareness is the source of the “block” - everything is self aware.

the 'people not having kids' trend: fascinating. people can do whatever. but as a larger trend, clearly something is up. likewise, when i ask the older generation why they all had kids, they don't know. they "just did"

so i looked up why non-human animals might not breed

[...] Image
one fascination i have with this topic is that it seems to be instinctual, thus the turn to animals. in my parents friend group, they all had kids around the same time. i (probably too much) grilled them about why they all did this and they all gave some version of "we just did"
that's "just what you did". okay. as though compelled by something beyond them. not religious, running the spectrum of affluence, no clear answer. likewise, despite the internet obsession with this, there's no clear answer. internet? maybe. politics? maybe. nothing great, imo. Image

‘what does the fox sign?’
(meta-animals in children’s literature)

animals seem to have an inherent symbolic content: winged birds have always been related to the spirit, we call someone “a rat” or “a pig”, or as in the intuitive relationship between lions and being a king.

[…] Image
this is one level of symbolism: what does each animal mean? we can also climb up to a higher question: what do “animals” mean, as a class? how do we perceive and depict “animal”-ness? one case study of this is in an art and literature intersection often overlooked: kid’s books. Image
conveniently we have two artists we can compare whose careers begin almost exactly fifty years apart: beatrix potter, whose career starts right around 1900 (in art, this would be ‘modern’), and richard scarry, whose career starts right around 1950 (in art, this is ‘contemporary’) Image

here's a book called richard scarry's busy busy world. i find this book extremely interesting from a pedagogical perspective.

our culture has taken the position of having an extreme aversion to stereotypes. well, that's all this book is: the stereotypes of each country.

[...] Image
the story in france has people in fancy restaurants. the story in switzerland has goats climbing mountains. the story in mexico has a guy eating beans and buying clay pots. the story in india has a fortune teller. and so on. the entire content is just basic stereotypes. Image
Image
Image
Image
i don't think you could do this with a major publisher today. it would read as educationally irresponsible, in a sense.

but, this book has allowed me and owen jr. to discuss other countries. he has a conception of holland, and talks about it, because of this book. Image

what is the nature of the self in christian eschatology?

for those unfamiliar, eschatology is a branch of theology that just means, "how everything ends up". the final state of things. end of the story. how does this all play out? how the pieces land: that's eschatology.

[...] Image
in the eastern system i'm the most familiar with, buddhism, there's a concept called shunyata. usually translated as emptiness - it means things are empty of inherent existence. like a sweater: you can see the sweater, but if you keep pulling threads off, you never get "it". Image
the self in buddhism, in my experience, is like this. it's a momentary aggregate of interdependent factors. its like a ball of things that only has provisional existence. it's there, but it's not eternal, like a ball of twine that just happens to be stuck together right now. Image
