he was silent, unassuming, and lost in thought
for days he sat in the cold
silent, unassuming, and lost in thought
one day a passer by stopped and asked
"what are you doing?"
and the man responded
"I am thinking."
and the passer by walked away
still the man sat in the cold
still silent, unassuming, and lost in thought
again the passer by stopped and asked
"what are you doing?"
and the man responded
"I am thinking."
and the passer by sat down
he sat in the cold
silent, unassuming, and lost in thought
for days he sat in the cold
silent, unassuming, and lost in thought
one day a passer by stopped and asked
"what are you doing?"
and the man responded
"I am thinking."
and the passer by walked away
still the man sat in the cold
still silent, unassuming, and lost in thought
again the passer by stopped and asked
"what are you doing?"
and the man responded
"I am thinking."
and the passer by sat down.

Paprika: A Cognitive Masterpiece

Released in November of 2006 by visionary Japanese director Satoshi Kon, Paprika is a film that will push the limits of your consciousness and leave you questioning the veracity of experience.
The story revolves around a device which allows individuals to enter and experience the dreams of others. An entirely fluid plot progression turns the viewing of this film into a session which challenges your thought processes and encourages a stream of consciousness mindset.

Beautifully intricate animations coupled with incredible music further draw you in as the story seamlessly weaves in and out of dreams. By the end you're left reevaluating the very nature of reality.
Paprika is not just a film, but an experience. Immerse yourself fully and enjoy.
Tread softly,

Nine Drawings: The Acid Effect

In the 1960's the United States government was engaged in a series of studies regarding the physical and emotional effects of psychedelics. These studies revealed invaluable and fascinating insights into the realms of neuroscience, consciousness, and spirituality. Such studies have interested me for many years as they help to elucidate the scientific benefits of studying psychedelics and their interactions with the brain, an area of research which has been in almost complete deadlock since the beginning of "The Drug War" over 40 years ago.

Regardless, "Nine Drawings" is a shortened record of a study done in the 1960's which observed the effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) on individuals with artistic backgrounds. Following LSD administration to the artist, he was instructed to draw a series of nine drawings, all of the same man. The progression of the drawings is truly remarkable and brings up interesting questions regarding the nature of consciousness and perception.

Good travels,
Jeet
