Radical Openness

Jason Silva preaches it:

Silva explained the philosophy behind his videos earlier this year:

I see them as souvenirs that I’m bringing back with me from the ecstatic state. … It’s a way of saying “I experienced something and it matters,” a way of throwing an anchor into something that’s ephemeral and trying to hold it in stasis. That’s what we do with all of our art. A beautiful cathedral, a beautiful painting, a beautiful song—all of those are ecstatic visions held in stasis; in some sense the artist is saying “here is a glimpse I had of something ephemeral and fleeting and magical, and I’m doing my best to instantiate that into stone, into paint, into stasis.”
