Alien UFOs, Psychedelics & The Future Tesseract (Part 1) w/ Michael Garfield // XA063

On this episode Matt sits down with Michael Garfield. Transmedia artist and performance philosopher Michael Garfield helps people navigate our age of accelerating weirdness — and cultivate the curiosity and play we'll need to thrive in it. As a musician, Michael’s songs and avant-guitar have opened hearts and minds across four continents. His music has been featured everywhere from PBS to Burning Man to the FDA’s clinical trials for MDMA. As an illustrator and painter, Michael draws inspiration from both science and mysticism to make verdant and exultant artwork at countless festivals, live art residencies, and anywhere else he can. As an essayist and host of Future Fossils Podcast, Michael writes on the intersections of evolution, technology, and art, and shares vital conversations from the frontiers of our psychedelic century.

During the conversation we learn how Michael's life-long fascination with Dinosaurs and Paleontology developed, his earliest psychedelic experiences including a state of Samadhi (a highly advanced state of meditative consciousness) during a camping trip, how his encounters with Alien craft (UFOs) have informed his views on consciousness, and finally, precognition, time and whether or not the future already exists and if we can peer into it as a human species. This is part one, a future episode will dive in even deeper. Enjoy!
