The Intergalactic Underground and the Geula Party

26 Jun

Some of the DPV readers might know that I was previously involved in a few psychedelic video projects, and while it feel weird featuring my own videos on the site, I guess it’s time these video get added to the growing collection of psychedelic videos accumulating here on the DPV.

The first one of these psychedelic video projects, the Intergalactic Underground, was a messianic web course designed to turn its viewers into intergalactic masters. It went on YouTube on March 2007, at a time when there was nothing like it on the site. Michal Wexler, who was a contributor and editor on this site featured one of the videos from the series back in the early days of the DPV.  Here’s another one, the first, and most memorable episode from the series.

A second psychedelic video project I produced was Geula Party, which posted its YouTube videos in parallel to the 2009 Israeli elections. The Geula party demanded consciousness expansion for Israel and for the whole middle east. It was not about running for parliament but about participating in the inner elections, the ones taking place inside consciousness. You can read more about that project in this article which was published on Reality Sandwich.

 

Unconditional Rebel – Siska

Some serious psychedelic time wrap in this video which was shot slow motion in 5 seconds spread on 3:30. In a way this can be similar to what happens to time perception in a psychedelic experience…

The Known Universe by AMNH

29 May

Nothing beats traveling through all the know universe and back in less than 7 minutes.

“The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.”

The “Baby! Love Your Body!” videos by Poussy Draama & Fannie Sosa offer liberated, guilt free and psychedelically minded sexual education for children. The many “thumbs down” and hate comments this video received just prove how bad it’s needed.

Announcing Psychedelictraveler.com a new twin site to the DailyPsychedelicVideo, on the DPV’s 5 year anniversary

25 Apr

Dear DPV Followers, world psychonauts, wherever you are,

Exactly five years ago, on April 25, 2010, the first post on the DPV has been published. At the time it was not clear whether one could find enough psychedelic videos to sustain a site which purported to publish a new psychedelic video every day. Since them, more than 2000 videos were published on the DPV, and we proud ourselves for being the biggest collection of psychedelic videos on the web.

Today, we wish to announce a new psychedelic project intended to answer another need felt by psychonauts around the world. Psychedelic Traveler is a website dedicated to psychedelic travel locations around the world: Places which are fun and inspiring to explore under the influence of a psychedelic mind alterant, or, more generally, places which evoke psychedelic sensibilities in psychedelically-aware individuals.

In Psychedelic Traveler we hope to create a first-of-its-kind collection of recommended sites for psychedelic experiences and for psychedelic travelers – a comprehensive open-ended, community-based compendium of psychedelic locations around the globe.

Intrepid psychedelic travelers are highly interested in finding out about psychedelic gems to visit and immerse themselves in. Our hope is that in a few years Psychedelic Traveler will include hundreds of psychedelic travel recommendations, so that any psychedelic traveler on the road can easily search the database and find psychedelic locations in the area they are in.

We are looking for contributors! If you’ve traveled across the globe and discovered fantastic psychedelic locations, or if you’re hometown or country has a psychedelic location that the world’s psychonauts should know about, please contact us through the “Suggest a psychedelic location” link and let us know about them.

So be sure to visit us, and we hope you’ll like our new initiative. Let us know what you think! Here or on the new website.

And finally, for all those who weren’t there that day 5 years ago, when the DPV got started, here is the first video that was ever published on the site. The incredible Story from North America, which continues to be one of my favorite videos on the site to this day! (Original Post)

 

 

MARIA SABINA-EL TRI

13 Apr

Maria Sabina was a mexican curandera who worked with psilocybin mushrooms and it was through her that the west first became aware of the existence of the magic mushrooms, when mycologist R. Gordon Wasson and his wife Valentina met her and became the first westerners to participate in a traditional mushroom ceremony, in 1955. The rest was history, as this event, and the ensuing article in LIFE magazine were among the most important catalysts leading to the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s. Those of you who don’t know who Maria Sabina might want to first go and read her Wikipedia article.

This song, by Mexican rock group El Tri, celebrates the figure of Maria Sabina calling her “a symbol of the wisdom of love.” Great song.
