I love your presentation, and it is in my opinion the most accurate representation I have ever seen presented on the general subject of psychedelic visuals. I think there are a couple of points worth looking into further, and these are the geometric scale of 'sharp and defined' geometry to 'fluid and undefined' geometry, as well as the presence of noise or geometric oversaturation at higher doses where it is impossible to perceive forms of any kind. The first notion I find extremely significant because we do not know if these patterns are innate or learned patterns. Meaning, if a human being does not learn mathematics, does not live in civilization, and has never seen an object with a definite form like a sphere or triangle, then is it possible that the 'sharp and defined' aspects of psychedelic perception would be missing, and instead they would only perceive the 'fluid and undefined' geometry, or are such networks innate? What about such perceptions in other animals? Do other brains produce such phenomena? As for the second point, beyond the structural and fluid dynamics, we must account for the significance of randomness in the experience at high doses. It has been expressed that at very high doses of 5-MEO DMT the geometry dissolves into a mess, similar to white noise. Perhaps this implies a limit to our perceptual faculties as relates to our biology and chemistry, and perhaps complex geometry is the final frontier as regards human knowledge. On the other hand, perhaps it is an indication of a wall that we have yet to develop the capabilities to break through. Just a couple of thoughts! Thank you for the amazing content!

I'm also interested. A previous study showed hyperconnectivity in the brain during LSD usage, so it is a very natural idea that the visual cortex would link to areas that don't get visual input so that activity in other areas leads to activation of the occipital lobe. I'm particularly interested in the temporal domain. I wonder if the frequency with which the visuals move/flicker are slow or are sychronized with larger scale brain activity, such as the 40hz of gamma waves (conscious, awake activity) in the EEG. I do really struggle to think about how patterns get so complicated and how e.g. activity of a bunch of neurons in the frontal cortex would translate to crazy fractals. Maybe interconnectivity between areas that already represent elemental shapes (e.g., the cluster of neurons that lights up when seeing a triangle and therefore encode a triangle) with associative areas leads to more complex shapes simply because the elemental shape areas get 'overdriven'. A different idea would be that whatever leads to awareness in the visual cortex is extended to other areas of the brain. We know there's a lot of unconscious processing going on even in the cortex (parietal cortex, cingulate gyrus, entorhinal cortex etc.) and we still have no idea how some brain activity is translated into a conscious experience and some activity isn't. Maybe some quality of neuronal processing is altered so that the direct link between the occipital lobe and conscious awareness is established in other areas. This would suggest that consciousness does not require a central coordinator (I guess the precuneus is considered a candidate). My guess would be that psychedelics have an interaction with microtubules through their aromatic molecular structure and that the whole serotonergic thing is more just a coincidence, since most ligands of the HT2a receptor have an aromatic structure. That would suggest its not the effect of serotonin that causes the psychedelic experience and that it is something more elementary within the neurons. Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff came up with such an idea - that microtubules create a stable microenvironment that allows for quantum states to be coherent in a wet and warm biological environment and that microtubules have rapid access throughout the brain to integrate information (near)instantly without suffering the delay of neurons. Neurons have the issue of being a temporal mess, i.e., activity in one area only leads to a consequence in another area many milliseconds later yet our conscious experience integrates all that activity into a single moment of experience. Could be that there just is considerable latency between sensory domains to become conscious, but we can't measure it if we don't get consciousness in the first place. I took a minor in quantum physics a bunch of years back to be able to wrap my head around quantum ideas of consciousness, but I really didn't manage, so all these ideas will remain unfounded biological ramblings. Hope we can do some nice fMRI studies though and diffusion tractography in chronic psychedelic users to figure the first steps of how psychedelics may work out. Sorry for the difficult lingo. If anyone is interested in these ramblings and isn't a neuroscientist, chatGPT can probably translate :) (I don't work in psychedelic neuroscience FYI so I don't actually know shit about this topic)

A full on religious experience... I've been there too mate. The Divine is real... it's insane.

So, yesterday i did my first trip with 3g of psilocibin. I did it alone for the first 3 hours and honestly i wasn't prepared for the intensity of it. At its peak it was a level 4 experience where it didnt make any diference between eyes open and closed. 3 hours into the trip i called my friend wich help me bring back to reality, and the way i tried to describe it for him (he never did it) while i was still on trip, is that my thoughts itself where being desconstructed into fractals, and that was the part where i kinda freaked out. I coudnt recall who i was or what i had taken (psilocibin), and didnt remember the process it would take into my organism for it to end, the more i tried to find logic, the more confused i became, it was like each concept was a fractal, where every little meaning it had came to my mind at the same time, and every concept/meaning of the previous meaning came to my mind aswell. An exemple was when my mouth was dry, i though about drinking water, and the word water brought the thought of liquid and molecules, and molecules brought atoms and particles, but all of it came to my mind at once,from water to particles, in a way that i got lost into it until the next time i felt my mouth dry again. I believe it was kinda a bad trip because i coudnt let the shrooms take me with them, i was scared and tried to resist, but the good moments where the best of my life. I will do another trip next month. The feeling i got from this first trip is that the visuals are a consequence of what is happening with yout thoughts, the toughts itself are being deconstruct into fractals to the very root of ther meaning, and thats why i think my ego was dissolved, this could be explained by the intense activity between the brain areas. Im sad that i coudnt let myself flow with the trip but wont give up. I know that you should try to take knowledge from the trip back with you, but the only things that i got was that time dont exist, the present is infinite and reality as we see is a lie. i know it sounds superficial and far fetched but it makes total sense to me, and today i'm feeling way better than before the trip. I understand that the bad aspect of it was my fault and im looking foward to do more trips. Thank you for your content

I often get this kind of mindset when “I’m trying to hard”, to hard what you ask? It depends, most of the time it’s either trying to hard to understand, explain or to hard to come back to a sober state. I can imagine how this was not easy for you but I can give you a tip for the future: This mindset of trying to hard, being to much in one thought, leaving to a deconstruction and fractalization and also resulting into something “hard to leave”, is one thing that can be easily dealt with: somebody has to tell you one simple different beautiful thought like grabbing your hand gently and saying: “Look at this beautiful tree, isn’t life so beautiful?” And then you’re almost immediately out of it. Some people manage to do this on their own, I sometimes can, but not always, it helps to then change the setting. If the set is struggling, change the setting: listen to different music, take a walk, eat something, talk to someone, put the headphones away etc etc. This helped me a lot

I studied psychology a couple of decades ago and have been something of a psychonaut in my younger days, so this video and your hypothesis is absolutely fascinating to me. Personally, I used to experience auditory "interference" or distortion quite early in a trip. Voices became very difficult to understand. Though music was less affected. Fun times! 😊

"Expectations" have a huge role in visual imagery. In my college days, I had these three posters on my bedroom wall, one of Jimmy page holding his double-neck guitar, one of Jimi Hendrix playing an intense solo, and a poster with a fantasy wooden ship being towed by dragons. After putting them up, I couldn't wait to see them "come to life" during a trip, ESPECIALLY the dragon ship. I wanted to see THAT one in action, knowing "for a fact" I would see the heavy swells breaking against the ships bow, spraying wildly, as the dragons labored against their tow chains quivering with tension, and the dragons long necks weaved around, and the ships pilot in their heavy Strangely though, after the intensity of the trip reached "acceptable levels", I went into my bedroom anxious to see the dragon ship "in action", but nooo; Jimmy and Jimi were jamming together in front of a huge crowd, stage lights flashing, fog machines running at full bore, background musicians (whether real or imagined) running around, or rocking in the background, but my dragon ship poster? It was as solidly fixed in reality as it was when I wasn't tripping. With all of the action around and within the music posters, with all of the textures on the room ceiling boiling, with all of the fern-patterned geometry superimposed on ALMOST everything, and everything else typical, my damn dragon ship poster simply "sat on the wall", like any "common" poster, doing nothing but displaying an image. I could only guess that my attention and expectations were so strong, I actually "hallucinated" that the "motion imagery" I wanted so badly to see was only a poster.

this actualy explains everything. the compounds are truly involving "new mediums" as never seen before. this is our harmony

Pretty good description of the visuals on different psychedelics. I think one caveat though is the amount of psilocybin in the mushrooms you are taking, as I've had powerful visuals which were indistinguishable from the LSD ones and other trips where it pretty much matches your description of dark and soft. LSD is pretty consistent (i just hate that lasts like 12-16 hours). DMT ones are 100% like how you describe.

Dude I literally thought I lost track of this channel forever until finding it again just now and immediately recognizing it and clicking. I'm definitely not only subbing but I really want to have an academic discussion!

50 seconds in and I’ve got chills!

Two things fascinate me particularly: one is the way intricate geometric patterns appear on the skin, but only the skin of me and my partner, they glow luminously and are so incredibly beautiful but they only appear on the skin and not the clothes, hair, surroundings. I am always fascinated. Sometimes they’re a repeating pattern with straight edges or dots, sometimes they are like floral vines and creepers which grow, such as when I watched them grow out of my partner’s hair, across the skin of his face, framing his face and honouring him like a god with celebration and reverence. I am awed by the beauty of it all. The other effect I love is the way similar ‘vines’ of luminous light grow in time with the music I am listening to, my favourite was a glorious violin tune that made beautiful light ‘vines’ grow through my field of vision and I loved those things so damn much. I still enjoy listening to the same piece of music, it makes me feel such overwhelming, all encompassing love and safety. Isn’t it all just fantastic?! Even the hard stuff, it’s still amazing 🤩

This is the first video I’ve seen exploring WHY such profound geometry begins taking up our vision, this is lovely. One day we may be able to confirm scientifically what translates between eyes, processing, and consciousness during these experiences.. it’s something I’ve wondered since my first experience

This is so cool, you even got Loka here. Woooo. Thats so sick.

Wow! This is super accurate as far as i can tell. Ive never been further than the deep end of level 2 and i can undoubtedly say that was my personal limit with classical psychedelics. DMT is a whole another beast though, and its the only one that actually warped my consciousness into a completely different visual alien world without any of the mental load. It was a very humbling religious and spiritual near death experience, rather than a mentally and emotionally loaded psychotherapy session like shrooms tend to do sometimes. Thank you for this video, amazing work!! It's really important that there are people trying to correct all the misinformation and myths around psychedelics and their value to humanity. They're not just "some drugs that make you see pink elephants".. They can be a powerful therapeutic life-changing tool for people who are stuck in various bad situations like addiction, depression, or just feeling hopelessly lost with no direction or passion in life. But its also important to remember it's not risk-free, not for everyone, and also not an automatic solution to the above mentioned things. The danger they can pose should 100% be respected.

@@DavidAKZ Some people are predisposed to certain conditions like schizophrenia, and even without having a straight up condition, there's always the risk of someone jumping too far into the deep end without any guidance or research and traumatizing themselves for life. Some of them have a very low dose range too, so you gotta measure out the dose extremely accurately. And also because sourcing them is currently illegal in most of the world, so there's also the nasty risk of dangerous fakes, adulterants, and random research chemicals. The risks can be dramatically lowered by using test kits, doing research, and taking set + setting into account.

I've never seen that morphing-effect reproduced so well! "the curtains are breathing!" As a natural synesthetic, the discussion on neural interconnects was facinating and I'll definitely be reading those linked papers...I only had one experience with psychedelics 20 years ago, I hit level 4 and it scared the hell out of me. :) Fantastic video!

Man, I’ll never forget my first time doing shrooms. Me and my roommate decided 5g was a good starting point, we had done 3-5 tabs of acid before, we felt prepared… we were not. We saw god. And his elephant, he was reaching down towards me, a figure of life light with iridescence all throughout. The elephant was behind him, and it was of the same spectacle color and light. My roommate saw it all from a different perspective and saw it reaching down towards someone else. These were all close eyed visuals we had at around the same time. Later when I was laying down, covered in blankets, the soft covers I had over me turned into an ocean, and the blanket too was blue, and my roommates head would pop over the waves, happy, smiling and he said “hey buddy…”, it was pure bliss. But unfortunately he puked on himself, then went into a bad trip getting stuck in a loop. Music was forever changed for me tho. I have a new appreciation for it, and it sounds different to me now. Overall, life changing

Absolutely loved the video 💜 Very informative and concise. The synesthesia theory makes so much sense. So basically, if I understood it right, thanks to the hyper-connectivity caused by psychedelics, the normally separated "data" from various senses bleeds into each other and causes various artifacts. So like, the "audio data" gets converted into "visual data", and gets displayed (perceived) as a kind of geometry. Kinda like how you can put a track into Audacity and get the waveform display, a visual representation of its audio data. Or even convert a .jpg (visual information) into .mp3, import it, and get a bunch of seemingly meaningless noise - the same data interpreted according to Audacity's key. Except here it looks less like noise and more like art.

The hypothesis makes so much sense, thanks for sharing!

wow you are a needed scientist i think the way you explain some of the geometric secrets is really fascinating.

Love the narration. Thank you for sharing.

As someone with aphantasia, it's always nice to be acknowledged. I can say that yes, during psilocybin trips, I have experienced some pretty intense closed eye visuals. I've even experienced some open eye visuals with LSD before. I have no idea if this makes me an outlier.

This was very well done and extremely accurate, great job! thanks for doing this

Finally, a great video on a very common and fascinating topic. Thank you!

I loved this video! And it confirms lots of my personal experiences on different substances. One of my favorite experiences was on LSD seeing the symmetrical face of a woman morphing into a cobra like Medusa and surrounded by laser light geometry. I was staring at a brick wall. And later on in the same trip, I saw the level 3 visuals that overlay every surface. I walked out onto the front porch and looking down at the street, everything was covered in doodle drawings of faces in glowing green and purple lines. I usually have to take a much higher dose to achieve visuals compared to the people I’ve done it with, so it’s a real treat when I do get there! I’m an artist, and I believe psychedelics have greatly helped me in my art practice

Holy Smokes!! What a GRAND concept - BRAVO!!

Last night this video was unexplainably displayed for me in the middle of a music session. It took me further than I've ever been. I'm glad I had all my bags packed for that one. To everyone who has a hand in these; much respect and gratitude. You guys are doing fantastic and fascinating work. 🌌

I like the hypothesis I feel it’s solid . I’m a very visual person and am an artist. I have a photographic memory and explain things visually so I’ve had insanely great visuals on LSD and shrooms . On heroic doses of LSD I’ve had visions that are very similar to DMT descriptions. I’m with you on the idea that the geometry is being influenced by the vibrations of the electrons . I feel sacred geometry does have a place here . When I watch videos like yours and Josies I can actually feel it in my mind . I think there’s a neural memory there . I love all your work and feel it’s advancing this field of brain research.

Amazing as always :) I love that you mentioned the pressing on eyes and the strobes. These are what i did as a kid. I built a little blinking LED circuit and changed two resistors to potentiometers, which allowed me to control the speed of blinking and the pulse width, ie. the length of bright vs dark. I got under my blanket, eyes close to the (very low power) LED, started slow, increased speed until i could still tell that it was blinking but not identify the individual strobes anymore. At that point, playing with the pulse width made geometries appear, change shapes, and fill my field of view. The character was similar to the ones i got when i pressed on my eyes, but of course the color was that of the LED, whereas with pressing i mostly got white. If you ever make a video on the correlation of neuron layout with the patterns, i'll totally watch that!

Oh god, you got creative. The farthest that I've come as a kid was squinting at light with tears inside my eyes, watching the little floaters and light artifacts change :D But also, with the eye pressing thing, I've noticed the visuals tend to be much stronger when I'm sick or low on iron (that dizziness when standing up after a long time). I wonder what that's all about?

Great video! Really valuable information, not easily found elsewhere.

I try to concentrate on the feeling & not get too distracted by the amazing visuals, I was told this was the way to letting the healing in. I do find I had the best results in ceremony's where you sat up & joined in rather then lay down & go inside. It is hard to concentrate on a song book though when it's written in a language you don't read & the words are floating all over the room.

Wow you are the future, thank you i dont feel lonely anymore with all the statistics you give us. I really hope you get the Noble prize some day for your research! Much love we are one

This was beautifully done! Exceptional work :D

Excellent work. Thank you so much.

I've often wondered whether the brain, with its very limited bandwidth of audio and visual information that arrived from the eyes and ears, creates a more complex representation of the world around us, by using fractal algorithms in the brain. I imagined that the information going in is amplified by the algorithms in order to 'fill the gaps' in order to create a richer experience. A kind of image upscaling method that is often used in computer graphics. However, to us, informal consciousness, we are normally used to it. But when under the influence of psychedelics, the act of witnessing the data processing allows us to see some or all of the steps out mind takes when constructing perceptual reality. Which is why things look normal then not normal as it is constructed in our mind.

thank you for making this video, so valuable!

Definitely profound experience that closer to the experience I’ve ever seen as of today. I want to thank you and all involved in this experience.

Xtreemleee great job putting this together im sure it took quite some time.i personally understand more and how to travel through. Thanx Emily!

This is great! Well done... Very professional.

omg josie this is really awesome!!! i love loka vision!!!

It's absolutely amazing what our brains are capable of. Maybe the most profound and enjoyable experiences of my entire life were the several times in the late 1960s, when I first started using cannabis, when I'd smoke, lay on the floor in the dark, and listen to rock music. Usually at some point in the sessions the geometric patterns would merge with the music and intensify exponentially to such a degree that I would reach a state of cosmic awareness and oneness, at which point my whole being "rushed" with physical, mental, and emotional awareness and pleasure - maybe like a cosmic orgasm. These would last for maybe 30 to 45 seconds, or at times even a minute or two or more. Later, I used other psychedelics and achieve similar results. As the years passed these episodes became less and less frequent, until now they are rare. I wonder if perhaps they were more frequent and intense when I was younger because I was less experienced and more naive, and my mind was more open to them. ?

Equanimity of mind!

I think it gets funky with group psychology experiments, ask someone who trips to find something really cool but ask to not talk about it but write it down (as good as it gets) let someone who also trips look at the same space and also write it down. You will get extremely similar descriptions, what points to a underlying physical bound element of visuals that is somehow shared.

I absolutely love the work that is put into these videos

Love this video, great job!

*Wow!?* Thanks for the trip Josie Kins and LokaVision! Fantastic hypothesis👏

What an incredible video. I'm going to send this to friends who've been on the fence about psychedelics 😁❤️

Always love your videos Josie and your friends/team

Brilliant! Fascinating and very well structured and presented and visualized, thank you so much. I am not a very visual imagineer so my psychedelic visions have tended to be more energetic and colorful formations (representations) of ideas and sensations and emotions even, but I just wanted to offer an alternative hypothesis for the patterns and "geometric" visuals, because neurons are too small and they have to form neural networks comprising millions even billions of individual neurons, through trillions of connections or synapses, in order to facilitate perception, and so I think what we are looking at, is actually the perceptual representations themselves, the pattern recognition "software" of the mind that is constantly looking for patterns that enables us to know what we are looking at (and differentiating and categorizing). In certain phases of the psychedelic trip we are between the normal regular everyday constructs of the left brain, and the much more creative imaginative distributed possibilities of the right brain, and for me, that's how these visuals are arising.

This is probably my me of the best, most well produced and informing video on this channel to date

I recommend using the translation / audio track feature. A ton of people don’t understand english good enough to understand everything. But this video deserves to be seen by masses to educate.

Yeah and communities used to be able to upload their own localized translated closed captioning until KZread decided to replace it with the god awful auto gen CC

I, for one, would love some videos diving in those more finer neuroscience details ! Great video !!

i watched this on acid and i couldn't figure out if the visuals were me or the video effects . You guys did an outstanding job with this i haven't seen work this well made and well produced about the subject of psychedelics let alone the geometry of it all . Very indepth bravo !

This was great 👍 👌 thanks to the team for the hard work ! Such interesting insight and hypothoses!

Amazing content and production value!

Thank you! Great video, this must have took a look of time!

Really well done. Thanks!

All your videos are solid gold. Of all the spaces we explore. The spaces of the inner mind is indeed the final frontier. ❤

Fantastic visuals. I was completely blown away. I am one of those people who never has visual experiences with LSD (and there are times when I have taken a LOT) but psilocybin yields a wonderfully beautiful and intricate set of patterns. Some of these visuals reminded me of DMT, I substance I wish I could find again. Those were some transformative experiences.

I love when I can see the sounds interact with the world while on shrooms or lsd
