I recently came across a couple psychedelic simian images on the
Shamanic Sacra-Mental Spaces blog that I thought were pretty awesome.
The first one is
"Stoned Ape Theory" by Tim Marr. It illustrates the theory espoused by
Terence McKenna (whom I've posted about a lot here) that our primate ancestors had an evolutionary boost from eating
psilocybin mushrooms that was a factor in accelerated cognitive development.
The second "Ape Agape"
image is by Samuel Farrand, and would be the next step after the previous picture! After ingesting a psychedelic compound, the ape's experience transforms into a energetic mindscape of abstract patterns.
This image reminded me of the 3D image I created called
"Psychedelic Symbiosis", which drew a comparison between the structure of neural and mycelial connections.
