No pressure, just thought you might like it. It's got a take on reincarnation that you might find interesting to think about.
It's an extremely visual film -- as an experience it's nothing like its Wikipedia entry :)
- hosh 10y agoOk, I'll check it out sometime. Out of curiosity, what's the take on reincarnation? I saw it draws some ideas from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Is the take it has something that is a twist on those ideas, or is it more that it's bringing the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" out in a visual display that's interesting?
- purplerabbit 10y agoI know nothing about the Tibetan book of the dead, but it portrays the experience of death as an infinite psychedelic experience. (At least that's how I surmise it -- others might justifiably disagree.) To me this seemed prescient because I've heard of DMT users they've lived out entire lifetimes during their trips... Got me thinking that maybe, since our brains (proportedly) release DMT when we die, it could be a different sort of experience than just entering an infinite blackness. I'll have to check out Vistas of Infinity :)
