thesapien Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Chauvet Cave paintings are mind blowing for several reasons. 1. They are the oldest known paintings, dating back 30 thousand years. 2. They rival our best talented artists today. 3. They appear to be meant to be seen as animated because they were painted in ways to give the illusion of motion, such as animals with transposed extra legs and extra outlines or... well, see for youself in the pics below. While viewing them imagine your only light source is a flickering torch and you'll get the idea.
sammythesquirrel Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 even better imagine that you are viewing them in flickering torch/fire light after you recently ingested several plants that have mind altering effects as part of a religious ceremony

Did you ever read Plants of the Gods or One River? I personally feel that my own experiences with such plants have been essential in helping transform me.
