eros. 18x24''. charcoal. @adam sturch

"I live in an aura of hope because I live in a twilit world of my own self-generated cannabinated fantasy, and I forget that not everyone is so fortunate, and that there is a lot of despair and uncertainty out there. So, I wanted to talk about this. Eros and the Eschaton these are the two areas that I think compromise the old paradigm and give permission to hope and strangely neither of these words is that well known, which gives you a measure of how completely the dominator position has squelched, subverted, and downplayed any opposition to its world view. Eros we know about in some kind of devalued schticky kind of glitzy way because we get it in the eroticization of media, and society, but really what eros means in the Greek sense is a kind of unity of nature a kind of all-pervasive order that bridges one ontological level to another this is not permitted in the official world view of our civilization which is science. The world of inorganic chemistry is not thought to make a statement about the organic world and the organic world is not thought to be extrapolateable into the world of culture and thought. There are imagined to be clear breaks in these categories. I had a biologist tell me once, “If genes aren’t involved it ain't evolution.” So, that means you can’t talk about the evolution of the earth as a physical body. You can't talk about the evolution of human social institutions. Evolution is, somehow, a word appropriate to biology and appropriate nowhere else. And this brings me then to the first factor easily discerned by anybody who has their eyes open that compromises and erodes the hopeless existential view of the world that we are getting from science, and that is the idea that nature is in fact across all scales and all levels of phenomena a unity. It's not a coincidence that electrons spinning around an atomic nucleus and planets going around a star, and star clusters orbiting around the gravitational center of a galaxy, it's no coincidence that these systems exhibit the same kind of order on different scales and yet science would say that is a coincidence. You know P. W. Bridgman who was a philosopher of science defined a coincidence as what you have leftover when you apply a bad theory. It means that you have overlooked something, and what jumps out at you as a coincidence is actually a set of relationships whose casuistry whose relationships to each other are simply hidden from you. And what I have observed, and I think it is fair to give credit to the psychedelic experience for this, what I have observed is that nature builds on previously established levels of complexity."...
