there's an amazing book called drugs and[br]travel in 20th-century literature

0:00:18.240,0:00:23.220
which makes the case that drugs and[br]travel or so

0:00:23.220,0:00:29.288
discursively entangle so discursively[br]intimate then we used the seen of

0:00:29.289,0:00:35.400
metaphors and analogies to describe the[br]subjective experiences of each.

0:00:35.400,0:00:43.990
I mean even the term, hallucination derives from the Latin term, allucinatic, which means to wandering our minds

0:00:43.990,0:00:50.360
so when we are hallucinating we are traveling in[br]our heads. Right? Why travel?

0:00:50.360,0:00:55.090
Well, the heroes journey, right? This map that[br]describes a departure from the ordinary

0:00:55.090,0:00:59.150
leaving normal thoughts behind

0:00:59.150,0:01:05.570
treading forth in the new environment dealing with[br]conflicts real ones or cognitive ones

0:01:05.570,0:01:09.430
slaying the dragon, solving the conundrum the[br]existential itch,

0:01:09.430,0:01:13.690
then making a return with new lesson learned

0:01:13.690,0:01:18.660
wandering in our minds and taking the[br]physical journey both incorporate this

0:01:18.660,0:01:26.090
motif of transformation, [br]an unfolding that happens in time

0:01:26.090,0:01:32.870
we cross over an implicit in the term[br]ecstatic drug experience is this notion

0:01:32.870,0:01:36.430
of ecstasy, non static, right?

0:01:36.430,0:01:44.100
Pushing through the crossing over the breaking[br]the threshold the piercing the viel

0:01:44.100,0:01:52.280
The curtain parts and had never[br]been seen is devoured by the eyes

0:01:52.280,0:01:56.409
we take a trip we call it tripping

0:01:56.409,0:02:00.249
you see the analogous, you see the[br]parrallel . These too discursively intimate

0:02:00.249,0:02:06.289
universes reveal to us, the outer journey and the inner[br]journey mirror each other.

0:02:06.289,0:02:10.369
In fact they're one and the same

0:02:10.369,0:02:15.480
and I loved that, right I loved that because I[br]have the travelers itch I have the wanderlust

0:02:15.480,0:02:20.819
I yearn for the holy other, I I look at the departure monitors

0:02:20.819,0:02:25.909
in the airports listing all those[br]destinations. As Alian De Botton sites in his book

0:02:25.909,0:02:29.730
"The Art of Travel" we look upon those screens[br]and we think to ourselves: London,

0:02:29.730,0:02:36.420
Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin, Mozambique South Africa[br]whatever it maybe it's anywhere else but here

0:02:36.420,0:02:41.890
we long to crossover we long to[br]experience

0:02:41.890,0:02:43.828
to take the trip the tak the journey
