I did dmt for the first time last night. took a few months to decide to finally do it, im so glad i did. i never thought i would of experienced what i did. I woke up and almost cried of pure happiness and love, its so hard to explain, to anyone that is thinking of doing it, it is an experience of a life time, i feel like i tapped into something amazing..wether what i saw was real or not, my mind instantly went to another world that wasn't this one.simply amazing
A lot of these comments are so narrow minded and uneducated. Think before you speak. These are the answers to the universes. It's beautiful and real. No one's trying to sell you on anything. They're just trying to spread enlightenment and good throughout the world instead of producing harmful drugs and alcohol to suppress all of your minds. I'm glad he was willing to share this amazing information. Open minds are key.
These ARE the answers to the universe! One sees all kinds of stuff on DMT, but it's more the feelings than the visuals that are shining a light on the path. People seem to get too hung up on the visuals. It's the continuim of being that's important. This man is getting "it".
hello . the answer is what we do with the experience . alex grey decided to build a temple with someone elses money . sound familiar . the impersonal conscious gives things away , quiet naturally , whereas the nurtured genius , isn`t that clever . with regards
The experience has taught me that the mind is capable of exploring the different realms of reality without fear. This is calming, and reassuring to my psyche, and soul. i could see using DMT on my deathbed to prepare me for the ultimate journey.
Peter Jones You said it Peter, what i got from DMT felt more like a distant memory...one I had forgotten long ago. Thats the best way i can describe it. The feelings of joy and wonder and caring or longing that i felt. I will never forget it.
DMT will shatter your entire world, like Terence said our point of view is culturally bound. This stuff melts away the filter as I like to call it. There is no more you or yourself, but this essence traveling through some sort of reality that almost cannot be described. I had multiple epiphany's during my journey, it felt as if I had the answers to everything when I thought of a question. Sometimes the answers would be visually presented to you as well. When I witnessed a purple geometric circle like web with pulsating lights....I realized that everything is interconnected. Regardless of what one my see or experience during a trip the end result is generally the same. You come back refreshed and renewed. All my previous "problems" washed away as if they hadn't even existed. It felt as if I was a blank slate but this time I was holding the pen.
I wouldn't recommend DMT for that man. DMT is one of the hardest, if not the hardest hallucinogen on the planet. I would recommend starting with 2 grams of good mushroomos and then if you like it try two hits of acid. Those two drugs are healing. DMT is not. DMT, is extreme. Idk about microdosing, but I can personally tell you, breaking through, is not healing.
I'm very grateful to have been given the chance to try DMT. The visuals were indeed similar to what Alex paints. I remember exhaling the 3rd big hit i took and then blasting off through yellow geometric honeycomb shapes in a sort of upward tunnel which then opened up into an open landscape, a vast grid of vibrant greens and blues with towering spires raising from the ground, spinning and contorting as I observed them. That's really all i remember. The come up on DMT truly is a blast off as they say. It was like my consciousness was being yanked out of my head and out into space. Also, It's incredible how universal (no pun intended) the themes and visuals experienced in psychedelic trips are. The majority of people all recall feeling and seeing very similar things. It's like they give us a window into some inherent constant that's consistent throughout the fabric of reality. I think more physicists needs to be seeking out psychedelic experiences because clearly there is a lot to be ascertained there.
@Oh its Mike I think The Afterman might secretly be based on Claudio’s DMT trip. All the entities, and the reference in Gravity’s Union, he mentions: we are only the meat.
@Oh its Mike He he mentions trying acid when he was younger on a Rolling Stone interview, but I’m sure to avoid the stigma for dmt he wouldn’t reference it.
. . . *This man is absolutely one of the most profound painters of all time* . . . *. . .* What an outstanding Trip Report *. . .* I hope to get on this man's level one of these day *. . .*
I had the vision but only of the eye across from me when I was on salvia. Going to take ayuahasca to see if I can experience the light he shows at the top of the tunnel.
A little after MINUTE 4:00, Alex describes his ayahuasca experience of "The Net of Being", later rendered as one of his most famous paintings. When I first saw this painting, I remembered this space too. What's strange is that I remember this space from the context of very early childhood-dream states. The sense of wonder and security comes back everytime I contemplate this painting. For me, no other painting compares.
The most reassuring thing I have ever experienced was the unconditional love and patience that was the most prominent feeling on my DMT trip. Just being wrapped in the purest form of love and experiencing the most beautiful things that you will never be able to concieve of without visiting; made me feel like the struggle to learn here is so worth it.
A heroic dose of mushrooms caused me to become translucent, and a flaming eye was in the center of my skull, which was talking to me telepathically. Years later I saw the translucence and flaming eye in Alex Greys painting and it still amazes me that it was the same thing that I had seen. The eye was also pointed vertically rather than horizontally, which was also true in the painting.
Literally anyone who has something negative to say or is skeptical about the power of this substance. Has never did it. One breakthrough and you will realize how ignorant you are being. You can't experience this normally and it isnt just another drug. It isnt fun, it is scary, but at the same time peaceful and beautiful. If you never experienced anything but what you see in front of you are what u can get from the 5 senses. I think the ones that are saying its just another drug experience and nothing more. I dare you to find the courage to watch your ego fade away.
I've had 60+ breakthroughs. It is fun, and it isn't scary. I've always had hesitation because it is overwhelming, but when I take it, that all goes away. I've never felt safer or more at peace, happy, or filled with a nostalgic I'm home feeling than on DMT. I've had one situation where I almost had a scary trip but all I had to do was watch it unfold and it turned around as soon as i accepted that. I interpret DMT trips as one would dreams because I don't believe in the collective consciousness or the existence of the entities outside of facets of my consciousness. It makes more sense to assume they're just delusional states and DMT hits a part of us so fundamental that we experience many similar motifs govered by our shared blueprint and we all live in the same reality that exposes us to the same histories etc. I know the intense experience of being in hyperspace and coming back to think, "This is my existence? NO NO NO NO!" or interacting with beings that from the perspective seemed as if they must be real and even my dead family. I've had to resolve those thoughts and beliefs and it all rationally makes sense within a scientific theory of mind. Ever trip with someone and say, "did you see that?" Did they? Probably, but betcha it wasn't the same thing and if it was somewhat similar I'd look for environmental cues. Nobody ever analyzes those situations to prove it, hallucinogens are the easiest thing to believe what you want to on. We already do it well sober. Anyways, I know people have had varied DMT experiences but I'm certain that my trips are good because I look at it logically and do not let the overwhelming emotional hallucinations sway me without analysis. I'vehad trips of rebirth, living another life and forgetting this one, meeting cosmic entites that control the hyperspace etc...And whenever I come down I have to fight the experience to analyze it. However whenever I try, I always come up with many more alternate explanations that meet occam's razor better and are relatively testable and repeatable. Also with meditation and practice, I've been able to have DMT-like hallucinations when entering the hypnagogic state/lucid dreams. The same meditation you use to control hallucinations of other psychedelics works even better on DMT. I've been able to control some subbreakthrough hallucinations where before I thought DMT was limited to observe-only scenarios. This story from Gray is interesting to me because I believe more artistic/imaginative people can have visuals that your average or even highly logical thinkers do, comparing to psychedelic effects. I believe that because of that difference and the ability of psychedelics to induce these states in the brain...That is, the brain is variably tuned and there seems to be a conscious aspect when we look at people with more carefree believe systems, that we can learn to induce full blown sober trips. It's my belief in this vein of thought that the bhuddhist meditations and trances are simply practice guiding yourself into a psychedelic state. With this theory, I've made quite a lot of progress in the sober tripping front. It was how I learned to control my trips. IDK sorry for the wall of unrelated text.
Right after my first time I called my sister to tell her about how beautiful it was, and how amazing everything looked and felt. It's a beautiful gift.
which was: never before seen criminalization of amazing plants and molecules which have been catalyzing our human civilization for tens of thousands of years
I never did DMT, but what I learned from other experience is not to judge others for what I never experienced. But to take in the knowledge they have went through. For non of us are greater than the other.
my DMT experience was not visual at all. Everything went black and I had went through a death/rebirth experience. Afterwards it felt as if I had just had my soul washed. I was hoping to have an intense visual experience, but I believe that what I experienced was not without purpose. It was much deeper than just another psychedelic experience.
oh my, I couldn't imagine a life without being aware of the deeper connections and perspectives of this world due to responsible psychedelic use with knowledge seeking purposes... You would appreciate this beautiful world we lived in so much more, on so many different levels. even taken just once.. Psychedelics aren't harmful at all, don't abuse, respect their insightful effects, and live your life to the fullest. It's not a recreational thing like many perceive. Only for people willing to learn
4:18 I had a very intense LSD trip where I saw this exact thing. The word brahma arose into mind from God knows where. After researching this word and experiencing this collective consciousness, the nature of reality began unfolding itself to me.
That is actually very interesting. Brahma is depicted as a being with four faces. Just like the columns in the Net of being. There's different schools of thought about Brahma. Some consider it the ultimate god while others see it more like he's the creator of our universe but not the ultimate reality. I believe the latter to be the case. The Shiva is the ultimate counsciousness or canvas where all the phenomena and beings come from. It is the ultimate unchanging factor. Many people have reported seeing the God while having a psychedelic experience but they need to understand their extremely limited understanding. God is a human word. Every powerful being you could encounter would be god to you and you'd know no difference. Adult as a human form is still an infant in the cosmos. Sorry for rambling :)
@@TheyRWatchingU Well pls tell me what's the spotted giant lion and what is the white eye on black. Because saying a mantra might be speaking to anyone I realize. Also another time I saw an ancient finger with a long nail. On a breathing exercise I've seen the green face in space. It's like a snake or .. I call it million mother. Lots to discuss really...
I really like this channel very honest and transparent not biased to being pro dmt or against dmt. And shows all perspectives and perceptions from real people who have undergone these experiences!
Wow every time I would search dmt art on google a lot of his paintings popped up but I didn't know it was him. Good to know the face behind the great beautiful art
SirCronusofficial its so interesting.. i mean.. why everyone who try it, sees those patterns?.. could be a lenguage we forgot?.. im sure it means something!
@@Tiziano182 in fact mathematics and specifically geometry is a language , for early mathematicians one sacred language, Im mathematician and the patterns are typically multidimensional that's why everybody can't describe them , we are in one tridimentional space , our language is inteinsically connected with this physical realm .
I love you Alex Grey, thank you for laying the path ♡ I met this man in 2018, such a down to earth, kind, caring humble man. God bless him, his family and his work ♡
from years of experience with psychedelics, obe's, and tibetan/buddhist inspired meditation practices ive become more humble by knowing there is always more pleasurable, and relaxing adventures awaiting...psychedelics are wonderful to learn from when taken with a clear and relaxed mind and body within tranquil surroundings... I've not only gained some integrity but have realized that being more conscious,graceful and compassionate in present momen. allows life to feel more like a wonderful trip!
Psychedelic cartography. This man is very fortunate to have the memory 'firmness' and retention to make visual use of this. I (as a musician) tend to think of my similar association as simply creating a cohesive 'vehicle' for this- as many of my influences have done before. Sculpting 'Internal art' is one thing...Actually retaining visual information of this magnitude, and reproducing it is a whole different ballgame! Alex and his wife seem to have a knack for it, and bless the vehicle that allows them to do so!
I'm a muslim, and I just came along a narration of the Prophet Muhmmad peace be upon him describing the throne of Allah and he said it has four great angles carrying it called "حملة العرش" and what I remember from their description is that they are four and each one of them has four faces "a man, an eagle, a lion and a bull".. etc
After about 20 years of experimenting with various substances, I had such a profound connection with the universe with DMT, that I feel like I now understand my place in this universe. I feel like there's no need for me to go any further with chemicals. Now I can feel and remember what it was that I learned with that trip and I can just BE WHERE I AM, and that's where I need to be. Words are too blunt to describe it in detail.
it's impossible to traduce in words this experience... it's also very subjective and your interpretation is always personal! props to Alex Grey, awesome visionary artist!!
Dmt, showed me god. Period. He came to me as a golden glowing light body. It broke me down to a child in seconds. I was crying because I knew who was w me I had always wanted to meet him. It was sooo beautiful. He touched my neck and face. When this happens your inner being speaks to you and says this is God. I knew in my soul it was him. The floodgate opened up and I was like a child in his hands. I wouldnt trade that experience for the world.
He? ... "God" is not a man, nor a woman. "It" is not even a being of any kind. . . Too many souls in this frequency are easily tricked. We are so far away from understanding something so incomprehensible.
The real miracle is that he has the ability to bring back anything from the DMT experience and translate it into his paintings! Most people’s brains simply cannot retain the glory of that experience.
People experiencing events such as these and telling their personal story should work with animators to create accompanying visuals. I recommend Felix Colgrave with Alex Grey :)
This fellow is much more articulate, more relevant in his points and his memories of specific experiences that MATTER than the mathemetician on the other site. And I'd rather have a beer (or whatever he suggested) with him than the guy trying to fit the experience into his stacatto, digital, math world. So kudos to Mr. Grey.
i'm so glad I took psychedelics many times between the ages of 17 and 31, and that cannabis opened my cannabinoid receptors and pineal/third eye years before that. It's why I am so out of the box disbelieving of the cultural and religious lies, and instead am open to what to most mortals is probably the realm of insanity and fear. To we the true thinkers and seers, it IS Heaven, the Godhead, Nirvana. Thank you, Alex Grey for articulating the DMT (mind-ecstatic) experience so awesomely!
I wish I had painting skills because one of my DMT experiences was so vivid and clear and beautiful, I remember what it looked like and it was just amazing whitenessing the phenomena right infringement of me. It was like Aztec/Mayan artwork looking rows with a yellow infinity symbol slowly moving in place and that had the Aztec/Mayan figures and things on it. Just amazingness
some parts of mine was like this too. there was cooper tubes rolling over each other like snakes and a strange language on them. some shapes of microchips to. some plant patters in movement, animals, atoms, planets in formation and this was only a part of that 8 hours
You never truly forget any trip. the experience has become apart of you. I am so blessed to have had dmt it changes your being. we are all connected and we all contain energy. and throught that energy we are.we are living a the 21st century we are here. we are in the mists of what so many wrote about in the past. Peace love and weed. if you ever get to try dmt don't pass it up but be prepared to become a bit wiser. Pon Paul 2012
I dont understand how someone can be like well its 9am I think ill do some DMT and become one with the universe I got like 8hours till I have to goto work it should be fine
Brian Well I can’t make you understand and I get that from the start of writing this comment. What I can say though is, through personal experience (tripped on dmt freebase inhaled/smoked) if you trip in a positive mindset you’ll come out of the trip with enhanced positive feelings. It only really lasts about 5-6mins anyways lol also through tripping lighting actually seems to affect it as well, I normally trip on other psychedelic substances in the dark which has a meditative/reconstructive property rather than being preoccupied with visuals. Conversely with DMT its been positive with natural ambient light through a window at home or outside. Anyways, depends on person and mindset, some people are blown away from simple magic tricks and some need to own the world to feel some amazement.
Ive been trying to find his excerpt since I heard it in “A series of heads” and my god.. his full talk is amazing. Already became of fan of him. So insightful and his art is amazing. Now this wasn’t in the documentary right? I watch it quite often and do not remember this length beautiful piece. KUDOS MR GREY. Love your explanation.
If you look up videos of his history, his fascination with death in his earlier ages put him pretty close lol. He worked at a morgue for years to learn more about human anatomy...he ended up defiling a corpse by pouring molten aluminum into a woman’s ear to get the spiral shape...and later had a pretty dark vision-trip of being in spiritual court, put on probation for the rest of his life unless he pulled his work more toward the light. Quite crazy.
The painting he describes from 4 mins in could also describe the Shpongle symbol/mask. Just put the Shiva crescent moon on top. I know he and Simon Posford are friends so maybe his work also inspired that iconic design.
I was in your same place when I first learned about DMT about 4 years ago and it took me about 2 years to find. I had to go to some very scary places to find it the first time but once I found it, it has never left, of course it is not a drug dont seek a high with it and when it is meant to happen it will just dont give up.
After reading all of these comments and hearing this video, it makes me think that before all of our crops were damaged by pollution, radiation and other contaminants, it was most likely organic and so good for us. That being said, since there is something to the effect that DMT is or an organic nature, maybe God intended for us to be more aware of our surroundings so that we could live a more peaceful lives.
marie chianca not sure how you connected these dots from this video, but if that’s how you wanna take it sure. Point is that you’re more open and receptive to the world around you, your explanation for it matters not, we all have our own take on why it is, but HOW it is seems to me more objective. In other words, trip on, sister!
year ago I had experienced DMT, it was a very powerful event that I have ever experienced for life, it happened just a few minutes but there like millions of years there, the feeling that I experienced there is very difficult to express in words, no one can explain with surely what kind of feelings experienced there except by feeling it myself, even until this moment I am still traumatized
I haven't read the Bible, do you know what scripture it is? Alex did a painting of this and when I first saw it I was blown away cause I had seen the exact same thing on mushrooms.
The part that gets me is that I have no doubt DMT brings about higher states of consciousness but what ever happened to disciplined meditation without the use of external substance? Alex is well read and now I've heard him through various interviews quote Don Juan and Joseph Campbell on higher states of consciousness. Not once has he said what they had to say concerning external substances. Don Juan said the drug was to be used as an aid for those who do not have the awareness. Once the neural network was created or acknowledged then the drug was to be discounted and it is the responsibility of the awaken individual to continue in this deeper larger consciousness without the use of external substance. Joseph Campbell said the schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.
Very interesting, but what would one say is having the schizophrenic drown in those waters that's different from the mystic that swims in them with delight? The educated would say ego I suppose.
***** Possibly but I don't think so, at that level of consciousness there is no ego there is only the whole that is best described by infinity and probability through which all is a reflection of. The difference that I have noticed comes down to willing ones self. Under an external substance (Schizophrenic) it's as if your a passenger going along on the ride, the experiences can be wonderful and there can be some level of understanding brought back from the experience but you're not the driver you're simply the passenger experiencing the experience. By way of disciplined meditation (Mystic) you are both the driver and the passenger. You have the ability to use your Will to will yourself in the experience. DMT is a gift that's given to us, it’s in our bodies. If we already have it then why does anyone need to purchase it? - We simply need to learn to exercise it. It has nothing to do with an ego but rather with manifesting a beloved gift we have all been given.
Seth Parr Not so sure about that, as schizophrenics are severely mentally ill which results in much distortion and contortion of Reality and a dark and twisted perception of life. All distortion and negativity is of the ego, this is acknowledged by all valuable spiritual pathways. Seeing as how the ego is illusory and isn't ultimately real, it produces illusions upon illusions. The schizophrenic is just more severely deluded than most. That quote seems to me to insinuate that both the schizophrenic and the mystic are swimming in the waters of the great ocean of consciousness, but just to different degrees of buoyancy i.e. frequency, resulting in the "drowning" of the negativity and suffering of the schizophrenic, and the "delight" of the mystic breathing fresh and pure air i.e. pure and divine consciousness/christ consciousness.
in alex grey's portfolio book, he talks about this exactly. meditators achieving the same results, more permanently, and naturally i feel we are so young as a species... so unaware... these things take time. In my life, i know that psychedelics can never replace 'lifestyle' : diet, meditation, exercise... and can often get in the way what's interesting, is psychedelics, in particular, mushrooms, 'told me' to stop using cannabis regularly, cut back on the tripping (not often by any means but more than my spiritual practice at the time), and begin the authentic inner work. i won't discontinue consciousness-altering substances for good though. i love them. without them, i would have never found 'this' love that campbell quote
Seth Parr dude.. really ..??? surely you aren't quoting Carlos Castenada who even admitted don juan wasn't real... not of those books were real my friend.. they were castenada's complete fantasy .. and they made him a pretty penny... but its a well known fact they were just stories... this came out in the 90's i do believe .....
I’m a little bit envious of this guy. I think he’s great, I spoke to him a couple of times on social media…but, I wish I could have an experience like that, and his life seems so laid back and just fun, living in a nice place in upstate New York and having parties and having visions and making truly incredible art. I’m an artist and I hope one day I can be as great as this guy.
It's just too much I experienced the plain between life and death I was everyone and everything at every point of time simultaneously the best word I could use to describe it is white the rest of my trip was a delusional anxiety attack and I won't go into the details of what happened during that. I had seen "the face of God" and it had broke my mind, I was fine 2 days later but then a month later I experienced a flash back when I was smoking weed in a car but I think this may have been just me having a bad reaction to my new medicine GABApenten I was having delusions and hallucinations for about 6 days and since I've stopped taking it monday I've been fine my only words of advice are this, Ignorance is bliss and make sure if you do this you are ready to give that up.
+Ashton Lewis Agreed. Some things should not be seen, or experienced until it is naturally time to do so. Forcing the experiences can break the mind. We have filters in our minds for good reason.
You know that this is a beautiful experience when you are aware that his paintings are beautiful and inspired from things he has seen on DMT, yet he is explaining what he sees on DMT as "utterly gorgeous" ...I've never done it but I cannot imagine how amazing it must be...maybe one day I will find out
What's amazing in humanity, is portrayed in these comments. Someone who has no influence or impact by the creative mind like Alex Grey can demonize his art and act childish to bring him down. When you are known around the world as a creative artist then speak. Until then do not criticize.
DJ Saint-Hubert His art is produced as a direct result of his dmt experiences. So what if he is advertising his art? All companies advertise. Most lie about what their products will do or lie about why they sell the product. Art is totally subjective. It will appeal to some and not to others. So what's your problem? Did watching this MAKE you go out and buy a piece of his art that you didn't want? If not may I suggest you stop whining? Thanks on behalf of all rational people everywhere.
I once made time, including the sound associated with the event go backwards my merely thinking it while I was lucid dreaming. it was the most amazing experience of my life. it felt as real as being in waking state, simply amazing. there's been numerous other things happen also such as levitating a $10 bill with my mind while lucid dreaming. all i can say is the processing power of the mind is amazing, i only willed the events and the mind did all the background processing
DMT is a gateway to perfect expression of what's truly inside the human mind. It's amazing, these thoughts aren't created from some magical place, they're simply unlocked from deep within our nearly infinite mind. Really makes you wonder why we would be designed to suppress such fascinating concepts and ideas.
I went to the same ayahuasca retreat Alex went to, owned by professor shaman Luis Eduardo Luna. The name is Wasiwaska. Alex is part of the board of directors and is a friend of Luis. Check out Wasiwaska dot org if interested. The participation at the retreat was the most significant event to have happened to my life, and my visions completely changed my worldview and shattered my fear of death. I got to meet Graham Hancock, a wonderful man and beautiful mind. The setting was awe-inspiring and I cannot wait to return in the future.
@TonyBrooks-hg3qw I was in this carnival with this Jester and he was breaking apart reality and putting it back together again. What seemed like over and again but in a different way. I still can't fathom the sheer magnitude of it all.
I did dmt for the first time last night. took a few months to decide to finally do it, im so glad i did. i never thought i would of experienced what i did. I woke up and almost cried of pure happiness and love, its so hard to explain, to anyone that is thinking of doing it, it is an experience of a life time, i feel like i tapped into something amazing..wether what i saw was real or not, my mind instantly went to another world that wasn't this one.simply amazing
That’s what it feels like to be dead
You went to your own world that you alone created.
Same here - I too felt so much love for everyone and even said that . I just kept saying, “I love everyone so much.”
Anyone with a dmt realm experience have some advice for an earthling?

Back in the early 2000’s, I called Alex Grey’s studio to order a T-shirt, and got to talk with him for a bit... coooool.
What did you guys talk about?
Yes, and tell us which shirt did you get?! Excited and inquiring minds want to know! :D

Basically they talked about how to jerk off on dmt
This is probably the single most literate explanation of a DMT trip I've ever heard. Most people people don't have that kind of vocabulary

For me, there is no vocabulary that I could come up with to describe any of my DMT trips
DMT will shatter your entire world, like Terence said our point of view is culturally bound. This stuff melts away the filter as I like to call it. There is no more you or yourself, but this essence traveling through some sort of reality that almost cannot be described.

I wouldn't recommend DMT for that man. DMT is one of the hardest, if not the hardest hallucinogen on the planet. I would recommend starting with 2 grams of good mushroomos and then if you like it try two hits of acid. Those two drugs are healing. DMT is not. DMT, is extreme. Idk about microdosing, but I can personally tell you, breaking through, is not healing.
I'm very grateful to have been given the chance to try DMT. The visuals were indeed similar to what Alex paints. I remember exhaling the 3rd big hit i took and then blasting off through yellow geometric honeycomb shapes in a sort of upward tunnel which then opened up into an open landscape, a vast grid of vibrant greens and blues with towering spires raising from the ground, spinning and contorting as I observed them. That's really all i remember. The come up on DMT truly is a blast off as they say. It was like my consciousness was being yanked out of my head and out into space. Also, It's incredible how universal (no pun intended) the themes and visuals experienced in psychedelic trips are. The majority of people all recall feeling and seeing very similar things. It's like they give us a window into some inherent constant that's consistent throughout the fabric of reality. I think more physicists needs to be seeking out psychedelic experiences because clearly there is a lot to be ascertained there.
Couldn't agree more!

alex you are not alone in this collective vision experience
I had the vision but only of the eye across from me when I was on salvia. Going to take ayuahasca to see if I can experience the light he shows at the top of the tunnel.
*€=*
A little after MINUTE 4:00, Alex describes his ayahuasca experience of "The Net of Being", later rendered as one of his most famous paintings. When I first saw this painting, I remembered this space too. What's strange is that I remember this space from the context of very early childhood-dream states.
The sense of wonder and security comes back everytime I contemplate this painting. For me, no other painting compares.
The most reassuring thing I have ever experienced was the unconditional love and patience that was the most prominent feeling on my DMT trip. Just being wrapped in the purest form of love and experiencing the most beautiful things that you will never be able to concieve of without visiting; made me feel like the struggle to learn here is so worth it.
A heroic dose of mushrooms caused me to become translucent, and a flaming eye was in the center of my skull, which was talking to me telepathically. Years later I saw the translucence and flaming eye in Alex Greys painting and it still amazes me that it was the same thing that I had seen. The eye was also pointed vertically rather than horizontally, which was also true in the painting.
His eyes, he's seen things.
well duh he has done dr00gz where u see t1ngz
yeah around the 3 min mark you can see his expression change
His eyes are like jewels
Literally anyone who has something negative to say or is skeptical about the power of this substance. Has never did it. One breakthrough and you will realize how ignorant you are being. You can't experience this normally and it isnt just another drug. It isnt fun, it is scary, but at the same time peaceful and beautiful. If you never experienced anything but what you see in front of you are what u can get from the 5 senses. I think the ones that are saying its just another drug experience and nothing more. I dare you to find the courage to watch your ego fade away.
They'd be too afraid!
I've had 60+ breakthroughs. It is fun, and it isn't scary. I've always had hesitation because it is overwhelming, but when I take it, that all goes away. I've never felt safer or more at peace, happy, or filled with a nostalgic I'm home feeling than on DMT. I've had one situation where I almost had a scary trip but all I had to do was watch it unfold and it turned around as soon as i accepted that. I interpret DMT trips as one would dreams because I don't believe in the collective consciousness or the existence of the entities outside of facets of my consciousness. It makes more sense to assume they're just delusional states and DMT hits a part of us so fundamental that we experience many similar motifs govered by our shared blueprint and we all live in the same reality that exposes us to the same histories etc. I know the intense experience of being in hyperspace and coming back to think, "This is my existence? NO NO NO NO!" or interacting with beings that from the perspective seemed as if they must be real and even my dead family. I've had to resolve those thoughts and beliefs and it all rationally makes sense within a scientific theory of mind. Ever trip with someone and say, "did you see that?" Did they? Probably, but betcha it wasn't the same thing and if it was somewhat similar I'd look for environmental cues. Nobody ever analyzes those situations to prove it, hallucinogens are the easiest thing to believe what you want to on. We already do it well sober. Anyways, I know people have had varied DMT experiences but I'm certain that my trips are good because I look at it logically and do not let the overwhelming emotional hallucinations sway me without analysis. I'vehad trips of rebirth, living another life and forgetting this one, meeting cosmic entites that control the hyperspace etc...And whenever I come down I have to fight the experience to analyze it. However whenever I try, I always come up with many more alternate explanations that meet occam's razor better and are relatively testable and repeatable. Also with meditation and practice, I've been able to have DMT-like hallucinations when entering the hypnagogic state/lucid dreams. The same meditation you use to control hallucinations of other psychedelics works even better on DMT. I've been able to control some subbreakthrough hallucinations where before I thought DMT was limited to observe-only scenarios. This story from Gray is interesting to me because I believe more artistic/imaginative people can have visuals that your average or even highly logical thinkers do, comparing to psychedelic effects. I believe that because of that difference and the ability of psychedelics to induce these states in the brain...That is, the brain is variably tuned and there seems to be a conscious aspect when we look at people with more carefree believe systems, that we can learn to induce full blown sober trips. It's my belief in this vein of thought that the bhuddhist meditations and trances are simply practice guiding yourself into a psychedelic state. With this theory, I've made quite a lot of progress in the sober tripping front. It was how I learned to control my trips. IDK sorry for the wall of unrelated text.
GRAYgoose124 I’ve never really been delusional on psychedelics
I've done ayahuasca, it was terrifying. Mushrooms are a good happy medium for me.
@Noartist Interesting...
Right after my first time I called my sister to tell her about how beautiful it was, and how amazing everything looked and felt. It's a beautiful gift.
Alex Grey admitted that his first DMT experience was the result of Terence McKenna mailing him some DMT! What an awesome way to get it.
Admitted? That’s such a loaded word!
terrance was bad company then
which was: never before seen criminalization of amazing plants and molecules which have been catalyzing our human civilization for tens of thousands of years
this is the absolute limit when someone tries to explain something ineffable. hats off.
I never did DMT, but what I learned from other experience is not to judge others for what I never experienced. But to take in the knowledge they have went through. For non of us are greater than the other.
my DMT experience was not visual at all. Everything went black and I had went through a death/rebirth experience. Afterwards it felt as if I had just had my soul washed. I was hoping to have an intense visual experience, but I believe that what I experienced was not without purpose. It was much deeper than just another psychedelic experience.
oh my, I couldn't imagine a life without being aware of the deeper connections and perspectives of this world due to responsible psychedelic use with knowledge seeking purposes... You would appreciate this beautiful world we lived in so much more, on so many different levels. even taken just once.. Psychedelics aren't harmful at all, don't abuse, respect their insightful effects, and live your life to the fullest. It's not a recreational thing like many perceive. Only for people willing to learn
How are you
4:18 I had a very intense LSD trip where I saw this exact thing. The word brahma arose into mind from God knows where. After researching this word and experiencing this collective consciousness, the nature of reality began unfolding itself to me.
Smikket Abito how familier are you with the word?
That is actually very interesting. Brahma is depicted as a being with four faces. Just like the columns in the Net of being. There's different schools of thought about Brahma. Some consider it the ultimate god while others see it more like he's the creator of our universe but not the ultimate reality. I believe the latter to be the case. The Shiva is the ultimate counsciousness or canvas where all the phenomena and beings come from. It is the ultimate unchanging factor.
Many people have reported seeing the God while having a psychedelic experience but they need to understand their extremely limited understanding. God is a human word. Every powerful being you could encounter would be god to you and you'd know no difference. Adult as a human form is still an infant in the cosmos. Sorry for rambling :)
@@TheyRWatchingU Well pls tell me what's the spotted giant lion and what is the white eye on black. Because saying a mantra might be speaking to anyone I realize. Also another time I saw an ancient finger with a long nail. On a breathing exercise I've seen the green face in space. It's like a snake or .. I call it million mother. Lots to discuss really...
Casinos New are you talking about the Eye of Horus?
I'd be very disappointed if I took acid and it didn't take me to the end of time and back

I love you Alex Grey, thank you for laying the path ♡
I met this man in 2018, such a down to earth, kind, caring humble man. God bless him, his family and his work ♡
Am sure the god he is referencing to is "Lord Brahma" . He is said to be the Creater of the Universe in Hindu Texts. and he too has 4 heads.
He is such an amazing person.Some of his paintings made me cry.Its so beautiful and touching.Im so thankful and wish him only the very best
i've had this avataar for many years now. Thank you alex grey.
Same here ;)
from years of experience with psychedelics, obe's, and tibetan/buddhist inspired meditation practices ive become more humble by knowing there is always more pleasurable, and relaxing adventures awaiting...psychedelics are wonderful to learn from when taken with a clear and relaxed mind and body within tranquil surroundings... I've not only gained some integrity but have realized that being more conscious,graceful and compassionate in present momen. allows life to feel more like a wonderful trip!
Utterly inspirational! His ability is legendary!
Psychedelic cartography. This man is very fortunate to have the memory 'firmness' and retention to make visual use of this. I (as a musician) tend to think of my similar association as simply creating a cohesive 'vehicle' for this- as many of my influences have done before. Sculpting 'Internal art' is one thing...Actually retaining visual information of this magnitude, and reproducing it is a whole different ballgame! Alex and his wife seem to have a knack for it, and bless the vehicle that allows them to do so!

good stuff!!
I'm a muslim, and I just came along a narration of the Prophet Muhmmad peace be upon him describing the throne of Allah and he said it has four great angles carrying it called "حملة العرش" and what I remember from their description is that they are four and each one of them has four faces "a man, an eagle, a lion and a bull".. etc
"Net of Being" is my absolute favorite peice that he done.
After about 20 years of experimenting with various substances, I had such a profound connection with the universe with DMT, that I feel like I now understand my place in this universe. I feel like there's no need for me to go any further with chemicals. Now I can feel and remember what it was that I learned with that trip and I can just BE WHERE I AM, and that's where I need to be. Words are too blunt to describe it in detail.
How are you now
This guy reminds me of Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) for some reason.

it's impossible to traduce in words this experience... it's also very subjective and your interpretation is always personal! props to Alex Grey, awesome visionary artist!!
I wish I had about ten of Alex's paintings in my trip space!
Incredible artist of our time! His wife is a great artist as well .Talent,education, and dmt, priceless
Those eyes in the background are creeping me out lol.
This guy vocabulary is off the charts education is so beautiful !
Dmt, showed me god. Period. He came to me as a golden glowing light body. It broke me down to a child in seconds. I was crying because I knew who was w me I had always wanted to meet him. It was sooo beautiful. He touched my neck and face. When this happens your inner being speaks to you and says this is God. I knew in my soul it was him. The floodgate opened up and I was like a child in his hands. I wouldnt trade that experience for the world.

The real miracle is that he has the ability to bring back anything from the DMT experience and translate it into his paintings! Most people’s brains simply cannot retain the glory of that experience.
People experiencing events such as these and telling their personal story should work with animators to create accompanying visuals.
I recommend Felix Colgrave with Alex Grey :)
Felix colgrave is great!
This fellow is much more articulate, more relevant in his points and his memories of specific experiences that MATTER than the mathemetician on the other site. And I'd rather have a beer (or whatever he suggested) with him than the guy trying to fit the experience into his stacatto, digital, math world. So kudos to Mr. Grey.
i'm so glad I took psychedelics many times between the ages of 17 and 31, and that cannabis opened my cannabinoid receptors and pineal/third eye years before that. It's why I am so out of the box disbelieving of the cultural and religious lies, and instead am open to what to most mortals is probably the realm of insanity and fear. To we the true thinkers and seers, it IS Heaven, the Godhead, Nirvana. Thank you, Alex Grey for articulating the DMT (mind-ecstatic) experience so awesomely!
U seem like u developed general anxiety disorder before
Alex is quite unique, impossible to relay this experience in words - yet he does ok.
I wish i can communicate like Alex Grey.

not quite the same

tonya teat what why. He talks like a normal person. Try Sam Harris for communication skills. Or r u referring to his art
You know this substance is fantastic when explaining the experience takes longer than the actual trip..
Well he was thinking about his painting and then be tripped about his painting. Thats all that was. Then the dmt made him see his soul.

You know you can edit your comments... right?
You never truly forget any trip. the experience has become apart of you. I am so blessed to have had dmt it changes your being. we are all connected and we all contain energy. and throught that energy we are.we are living a the 21st century we are here. we are in the mists of what so many wrote about in the past. Peace love and weed. if you ever get to try dmt don't pass it up but be prepared to become a bit wiser. Pon Paul 2012
I dont understand how someone can be like well its 9am I think ill do some DMT and become one with the universe I got like 8hours till I have to goto work it should be fine
Brian Well I can’t make you understand and I get that from the start of writing this comment. What I can say though is, through personal experience (tripped on dmt freebase inhaled/smoked) if you trip in a positive mindset you’ll come out of the trip with enhanced positive feelings. It only really lasts about 5-6mins anyways lol also through tripping lighting actually seems to affect it as well, I normally trip on other psychedelic substances in the dark which has a meditative/reconstructive property rather than being preoccupied with visuals. Conversely with DMT its been positive with natural ambient light through a window at home or outside. Anyways, depends on person and mindset, some people are blown away from simple magic tricks and some need to own the world to feel some amazement.
It doesn't last long you could be to work within 45 minutes to an hour tops. I do it every day.
Ive been trying to find his excerpt since I heard it in “A series of heads” and my god.. his full talk is amazing. Already became of fan of him. So insightful and his art is amazing. Now this wasn’t in the documentary right? I watch it quite often and do not remember this length beautiful piece. KUDOS MR GREY. Love your explanation.
alex grey looks like the necromancer from Diablo 2. maybe he is a necromancer.
he seriously does!
Holy FUCK YES!!!! I love you for saying that! YES HE SO DOES! awww fuck I am going to get a tattoo of alex grey as the necromancer you just wait
lmao
loooool
If you look up videos of his history, his fascination with death in his earlier ages put him pretty close lol. He worked at a morgue for years to learn more about human anatomy...he ended up defiling a corpse by pouring molten aluminum into a woman’s ear to get the spiral shape...and later had a pretty dark vision-trip of being in spiritual court, put on probation for the rest of his life unless he pulled his work more toward the light. Quite crazy.
The painting he describes from 4 mins in could also describe the Shpongle symbol/mask. Just put the Shiva crescent moon on top. I know he and Simon Posford are friends so maybe his work also inspired that iconic design.
Holy shit, he's Visago from Ghostbusters!

I was in your same place when I first learned about DMT about 4 years ago and it took me about 2 years to find. I had to go to some very scary places to find it the first time but once I found it, it has never left, of course it is not a drug dont seek a high with it and when it is meant to happen it will just dont give up.
Life for me would be significantly better if
I could experience this sort of thing...
How would you know if you havent tried it ?
Get sum dmt then dude
Go extract some then?? It’s not hard
Be careful of unearned wisdom
After reading all of these comments and hearing this video, it makes me think that before all of our crops were damaged by pollution, radiation and other contaminants, it was most likely organic and so good for us. That being said, since there is something to the effect that DMT is or an organic nature, maybe God intended for us to be more aware of our surroundings so that we could live a more peaceful lives.
marie chianca not sure how you connected these dots from this video, but if that’s how you wanna take it sure. Point is that you’re more open and receptive to the world around you, your explanation for it matters not, we all have our own take on why it is, but HOW it is seems to me more objective. In other words, trip on, sister!

He is my favorite artist....his work is so great!
The part that gets me is that I have no doubt DMT brings about higher states of consciousness but what ever happened to disciplined meditation without the use of external substance?
Alex is well read and now I've heard him through various interviews quote Don Juan and Joseph Campbell on higher states of consciousness. Not once has he said what they had to say concerning external substances.
Don Juan said the drug was to be used as an aid for those who do not have the awareness. Once the neural network was created or acknowledged then the drug was to be discounted and it is the responsibility of the awaken individual to continue in this deeper larger consciousness without the use of external substance. Joseph Campbell said the schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.
Very interesting, but what would one say is having the schizophrenic drown in those waters that's different from the mystic that swims in them with delight?
The educated would say ego I suppose.
***** Possibly but I don't think so, at that level of consciousness there is no ego there is only the whole that is best described by infinity and probability through which all is a reflection of.
The difference that I have noticed comes down to willing ones self. Under an external substance (Schizophrenic) it's as if your a passenger going along on the ride, the experiences can be wonderful and there can be some level of understanding brought back from the experience but you're not the driver you're simply the passenger experiencing the experience.
By way of disciplined meditation (Mystic) you are both the driver and the passenger. You have the ability to use your Will to will yourself in the experience.
DMT is a gift that's given to us, it’s in our bodies. If we already have it then why does anyone need to purchase it? - We simply need to learn to exercise it.
It has nothing to do with an ego but rather with manifesting a beloved gift we have all been given.
Seth Parr Not so sure about that, as schizophrenics are severely mentally ill which results in much distortion and contortion of Reality and a dark and twisted perception of life. All distortion and negativity is of the ego, this is acknowledged by all valuable spiritual pathways.
Seeing as how the ego is illusory and isn't ultimately real, it produces illusions upon illusions. The schizophrenic is just more severely deluded than most.
That quote seems to me to insinuate that both the schizophrenic and the mystic are swimming in the waters of the great ocean of consciousness, but just to different degrees of buoyancy i.e. frequency, resulting in the "drowning" of the negativity and suffering of the schizophrenic, and the "delight" of the mystic breathing fresh and pure air i.e. pure and divine consciousness/christ consciousness.
in alex grey's portfolio book, he talks about this exactly. meditators achieving the same results, more permanently, and naturally
i feel we are so young as a species... so unaware... these things take time. In my life, i know that psychedelics can never replace 'lifestyle' : diet, meditation, exercise... and can often get in the way
what's interesting, is psychedelics, in particular, mushrooms, 'told me' to stop using cannabis regularly, cut back on the tripping (not often by any means but more than my spiritual practice at the time), and begin the authentic inner work.
i won't discontinue consciousness-altering substances for good though. i love them. without them, i would have never found 'this'
love that campbell quote
Seth Parr dude.. really ..??? surely you aren't quoting Carlos Castenada who even admitted don juan wasn't real... not of those books were real my friend.. they were castenada's complete fantasy .. and they made him a pretty penny... but its a well known fact they were just stories... this came out in the 90's i do believe .....
I’m a little bit envious of this guy. I think he’s great, I spoke to him a couple of times on social media…but, I wish I could have an experience like that, and his life seems so laid back and just fun, living in a nice place in upstate New York and having parties and having visions and making truly incredible art. I’m an artist and I hope one day I can be as great as this guy.
It's just too much I experienced the plain between life and death I was everyone and everything at every point of time simultaneously the best word I could use to describe it is white the rest of my trip was a delusional anxiety attack and I won't go into the details of what happened during that. I had seen "the face of God" and it had broke my mind, I was fine 2 days later but then a month later I experienced a flash back when I was smoking weed in a car but I think this may have been just me having a bad reaction to my new medicine GABApenten I was having delusions and hallucinations for about 6 days and since I've stopped taking it monday I've been fine my only words of advice are this, Ignorance is bliss and make sure if you do this you are ready to give that up.
leave gabapentin down buddy it is evil stick to DMT every once in a while
+Ashton Lewis Agreed. Some things should not be seen, or experienced until it is naturally time to do so. Forcing the experiences can break the mind. We have filters in our minds for good reason.
You know that this is a beautiful experience when you are aware that his paintings are beautiful and inspired from things he has seen on DMT, yet he is explaining what he sees on DMT as "utterly gorgeous" ...I've never done it but I cannot imagine how amazing it must be...maybe one day I will find out

What's amazing in humanity, is portrayed in these comments. Someone who has no influence or impact by the creative mind like Alex Grey can demonize his art and act childish to bring him down. When you are known around the world as a creative artist then speak. Until then do not criticize.

His art is a representation of his experiences. It's his expression of the things he saw and felt. They are one and the same.

Net of Being thus became the basis for 10,000 Days, thanks Alex and Tool, love your connection.
I saw the Net of Being with my first DMT experience. Didn't even know he had this painting.
His ability to recall an experience a lot of us resonate with is remarkable.
A dmt trip is all based on feelings, you might feel like your dead and if you accept it, you will have the most beautiful experience in your life.
DMT is a gateway to perfect expression of what's truly inside the human mind. It's amazing, these thoughts aren't created from some magical place, they're simply unlocked from deep within our nearly infinite mind. Really makes you wonder why we would be designed to suppress such fascinating concepts and ideas.
I saw a holographic Ganesh on DMT. The thing was alive and pulsating with this kind of light body. It was more alive than anything I've ever seen.
I went to the same ayahuasca retreat Alex went to, owned by professor shaman Luis Eduardo Luna. The name is Wasiwaska. Alex is part of the board of directors and is a friend of Luis. Check out Wasiwaska dot org if interested. The participation at the retreat was the most significant event to have happened to my life, and my visions completely changed my worldview and shattered my fear of death. I got to meet Graham Hancock, a wonderful man and beautiful mind. The setting was awe-inspiring and I cannot wait to return in the future.
