Feed the muse: LSD inspired art

3D representation of an LSD molecule.

Whoa... this takes me back to the 70s. LSD is a powerful experience (or so I hear). It's effect can be seen in a series of drawings produced in the 50s during a government experiment. The artist was dosed with LSD and then monitored while he made a series of drawings. The digression is amazing. I think it closely parallels the faulty yet inspired thinking which occurs while on acid. The connection with truth one feels closely parallels the connection with God Christians claim as uniquely their own. It is not unique, you just need a microdot.

Speaking from experience, mystical experiences triggered by drugs are no different from mystical experiences triggered by religion.

I keep up with videogame blogs, and they made "Heaven the Game." There's a long intro, and it looks epically superheroish. Might be worth a look, but it's horrible to navigate through--you can't skip the beginning intro, and it's difficult to cancel a bunch of stuff.

A lot of creative art has come from psychedelic experiences.
