Books, Human Creativity and "humble", a Graphic Meditation Tool for Openness


Listen Later

Dennis McKenna and OpticMystic explore humble, a graphic meditation on openness, self-questioning, books, technology, AI, love, and the ongoing mystery of what it means to be human.

OpticMystic a.k.a Hugo Amadeu is just a human fascinated by being alive.

He intended to be an astrophysicist or an oceanographer but ended up
studying graphic design and becoming a freelancer. He worked on DMT: The
Spirit Molecule documentary film by Mitch Schultz, ESPD 50 book and
later at the McKenna Academy. Currently, he is working with Namae Ntumae
at CWays Home performing all sorts of media wizardry. He is also a
sandwriter, musician, writer and terrific dishwasher.
A bookworm from early age, his curiosity and passion for reading has
made him a sort of accidental philosopher. A trance festival, more than
20 years ago, altered profoundly the course of his life and his hopes
for the future. A few, yet, intense psychedelic experiences assured him
that there is certainly more to the world than the eyes can see. Devout
atheist with a profound feeling for the sacred, he will ignore the gods
but embrace the spirits. There is something punk in his approach, an
itchiness for authority and a refusal to compromise that arises from
earnest questioning.
He has written a graphic meditation called “Humble”. An exploration of
ideas that reflect on openness, relativity and love as forms of
approaching the self and the other(s).
