Flying Lotus - Inside the Codex: the Art of Cosmogramma

[KARELIAN68]

This is all something you should have known about before viewing this film.

[spamguitarrows]

WHO IS THIS DUDE! HIS ARTWORK IS AMAZING!?! anyone know please reply

[SuperiFox]

@spamguitarrows It says Theo Jemison in the description.

[MrCigaretteJuice]

@SuperiFox Actually it's Leigh McCloskey. Theo Jamison photographed for this.

[SuperiFox]

@MrCigaretteJuice Oooo alright. Thanks for the clarification man!

[GraySoftLightBane]

this is so inspiring.

[RICARDOLOCO13]

The mind tries to categories, and understand the reality of this life when actually you do not understand anything at all until you feel it, you taste it, see it. Understanding and thinking will put you less in the "now" the present moment.

[RecklessInspirer]

ik EXACTLY how he feels

[olivermalin]

MAD SKETCHBOOKS!

[8Maik]

[IZionDawta]

[hollowman113]

[Noooooo0ooOooooo]

@hollowman113 it seems the most smartest people are either insane or druggies

[HoNisBULLSHIT]

@Noooooo0ooOooooo

You don't do drugs obviously.

[Noooooo0ooOooooo]

@HoNisBULLSHIT I have and I have people that are very close to me that do drugs a lot. They're all very intelligent people.

[303dvc]

reminds me of the pictures/drawings of c.g. jung

[amelialala]

Anyone who says this is over their head is obviously close minded and retarded. It's art... And it's amazing.

[ZombieNopali]

jackass

[MartinfdeZ81]

What a room !!!!!!

[GarenDJ]

My mind is still far to young to comprehend a single thing this man said...

[PitchBlack696]

@GarenDJ Anything that intrigues you but you don't yet understand, put it in the favorites. Visit it every once in a while and to your surprise one day it'll make complete sense. As a guide, never be "100%" sure of anything... 95 is a good number for "certainty".

[marcuelcajon]

I am not big on what he saying but, his pics look exactly like what you see on lsd and dmt.

[Jinrikishaa]

Mindblown, this is beyond my level of comprehension and rendering....

[misternash16]

@MegaTrippyShit - Zodiac Shit.



[schtickkicker]

happy kitty feet!

[beliefactionnexus]

this gent definitely took acid at one or at numerous points in his life. no worries. however, "getting past the need to make intellectual sense out of a creative impulse" is so profound to me that I will be challenged (in a great way) by the remark for days to come...my music will probably be better for having heard it put that way.

[TheOnepoop]

Fly Lo really is one of the few artists from wich the world can really learn!!!

[2ManyNoobs]

99,9% of the people who watch this don't have the slightest idea of what this man i truly talking about ^^

[drunkenpossum1]

@2ManyNoobs i know exactly what hes talking about its not that difficult

[2ManyNoobs]

@drunkenpossum1 that means that you are not as retarded as 99,9% of the people..

[carlamccloskey]

You can also leave Leigh a message on Facebook or his website. 

[carlamccloskey]

You can have this notebook. It comprises three books and they are The Codex Tor series: Book One-Winter Solstice, Book One-Summer Solstice, Book Two-Equinox/Mysterium Magnum. They are amazing. Go to Leigh McCloskey's website which is his name for details.

[TheSludgeMan]

holy shit that room they are both in at the end would literally be the most perfect place on earth to trip on acid

[bathinthefountain]

@TheSludgeMan HOLY SHIT THAT ROOM IS EPIC!

[OnDatCliff]

@TheSludgeMan or crack!

[XOL500]

@TheSludgeMan No. It would literally be the most perfect place on EARTH. Period.

[PensiveIntent]

The older I get the more I see what the great minds of our age talk about when they say "all is one and one is all".

Also, this should be a full documentary combined with the spirit molecule

[ablist15]

wow! words cant explain!

[sbeckett20]

@wowter93 you get used to it, just dont think of your grandma when you have some.. HIGHLY not recomended!!

[sbeckett20]

@wowter93 yep as serious as one can get!!

[sbeckett20]

@wowter93 as long as it smells like really old people then your on the right track! :P

[sbeckett20]

@wowter93 good advice whiter the better! and nobody can get it perfect the first try!

[sbeckett20]

@wowter93 its simple, get the bark boil + freeze.... tada.. obviously more refined than that! you honestly dont need to be a science geek/major/.teacher to achieve some good results! not that im saying ive tried it!!

[DeeMeoow]

His room is majestic

[the689anomoly]

come check the mix on my wall. An ungodly mixture of wonky beats, synth lazers, anime samples, scientific yet spiritual spoken word and basslines from the bubbling to the obscene. Cerebral, heavy-rolling and jaw-droppingly skilled, Calling All Gods is one hour and forty minutes of pure audio hypnosis. Featuring the likes of Samiyam, Digital Mystiks, Flying Lotus, Jamie Vexd, Dibiase, Ken Shiro, Dimlite and many many more.

[other6people]

that room is so beautiful i want to live there

[sbeckett20]

@wowter93 just make dmt its easy enough!!!

[010les]

two people masturbated with a rope around their neck watched this video

[Kubiak04]

wow that guy is fucking cool, wish there were more vids of him. gonna watch it again

[Tengent]

Uh.. what is the Codex?

[stevoisgod123]

this man needs to make those into books i feel like ill become smarter by looking at them lawlz

[oOSoulOo]

Talk about a trip. I honestly wish I heard of this guy beforehand, otherwise it would have really given me more confidence in perusing art as I was younger.

And for those of you lost in what he's talking about - I think he's simply referring to the fact that (as artists) we struggle to find some meaning behind what we create when we get that "spark", only to lose that meaning down the road. McCloskey wanted to find a way around that - to create WITHOUT meaning and let the work define itself.

[TheSnoozeFox]

@wowter93 always wanted to try that but god knows where to find it in london

[officersyrup]

what's the name of this artist?

[Weslie777]

@officersyrup Leigh J McCloskey

[stoyashot]

that interior is amazing!

[squizz222]

This man's artwork is beautiful. Despite its abstract nature, it just oozes life.

[ghost4doom]

whats the name of the song at the end?

[mttheww]

@ghost4doom Intro / A Cosmic Drama

[ghost4doom]

@mttheww thanks

[SocialistDemocracy]

@ghost4doom actually its the following song "Zodiac S**t"

[ghost4doom]

@SocialistDemocracy yeah u right

[WendyKroy77]

yeah. He is like 55 years old which is not that old for men and although he does look handsome, compared to just 12 years ago, he looks pretty tired.

[sativafourtwentie]

@ta11child101 i'm pretty sure it was in his codex's. Which you could probably buy or order from a bookstore

[joe5head]

wow...subbed

[LIGHTRONIX]

long live warp records

[TheUnderground828]

Leigh J. McCloskey

is the artist.

[upWITpeople]

PSYCHEDELIC CULTURE 2010

[WendyKroy77]

I have no idea what he just said. I mean as a lover of wisdom I am pretty in tune with what it means to approach things from different angles, but this entire section seemed like gibberish to me. I must say though, I just saw him on an episode of Deep Space 9 from like 12 years ago and boy was he handsome. He looks old and tired now. That in and of itself is the real tragedy, the ultimate truth here. All things must pass: career, popularity, good looks, youth...

[Picassia]

@WendyKroy77 You think so? Because the first thing I thought when I saw him was, Damn. He looks good for his age.

[LfunkeyA]

@WendyKroy77

if the ultimate destination is always tragedy, there's no point in calling it or considering it a tragedy

[WendyKroy77]

@LfunkeyA

I didnt say that the ultimate destination is tragedy, i said the ultimate tragedy is that all things must pass: career, popularity, good looks, youth...

[LfunkeyA]

@WendyKroy77

are you implying that tragedy is the norm? because that's what i was talking about

[conorghilarducci]

if he looks familiar that's because he was on Babylon 5.

[conorghilarducci]

he went to Julliard, was a TV actor for over 25 years and he makes mind blowing art. the guy is pretty talented.

[BenniUsesCreativity]

Will want to be around you. Get back on here once you guys (if ever) have done IBOGAINE, and then you can really know what it is like to go to hell and back seeing shit that is good, terrifying, true, uncomprehendable and unexplainable. Peace, do your research people!

[BenniUsesCreativity]

@lorentperron1 not trying to offend you, or the other guys but Yes LSD does give you visuals and NO guys MDMA does not. With the visual thing on mdma it is a mixture of the motor part of your brain trying to catch up to the thought part of your brain, resulting in visionary disposition and a sence of floating and random sence of distances from you to objects around you. Mix that with booze and buds, dont sleep for two nights and then you mite get some crazy ass shit happening, but no-one will

[leal5454]

TRUE ARTIST

[laurentperron1]

whats the visual artist's name?

[Dbunit3]

the amount of THC in that man's system....

[zpotek]

Im gonna tattoo one of his motives!

[hrubec79]

ingenious!!

[2ManyNoobs]

lol those images really look exactly like my visuals on acid and mdma :p

[laurentperron1]

@2ManyNoobs .... youve obviously never done either of those because acid very give anyone visual hallucinations, and mdma never does. don't think drugs make you cool. i do lots, and they are great if you know how to use them, but theyre noting to impress anyone with

[lukeloseth]

@laurentperron1 I've definitely gotten visual hallucinations from pure mdma... not nearly as strong as lsd but still... if i were you i wouldn't make such extreme statements.

[2ManyNoobs]

@laurentperron1 your intention is good; I like that :)

I suggest you do higher doses, close your eyes more and do some meditation during the trip. You might get a glimpse of the things I get to see!

MDMA does give hallucinations man; again: close your eyes and watch mickey and his friends play right in front of you :)

[vanxguu]

!!!!!!!

[carlamccloskey]

For more information go to his website. Just google leigh mccloskey. You can buy the Codex Tor books

[ta11child101]

[drawingshadows]

[pixiefilth]

[idontknowwhattocallm]

@pixiefilth cunt

[pixiefilth]

@idontknowwhattocallm that was the first word that came to mind. self-importance is an egregious affliction.

[beammeawish]

cool..said what I had to say..and now its up to you..

[beammeawish]

duality..everything and nothing..freedom of the ego..as a comment to your vid! existing in two states at once..fundemental..one of the universal laws..suvivrual stragey for me..its quite neat as you can experience the whole wonder/beauty and everything and the feeling with this and yet remain clam..size also has no meaning.just a few things so you no I'm on a good level..but like I say at some point you dispense with the need to know!as I did for twenty years.ie desire but have todo something...

[beammeawish]

I hope to hear from you..at least to enable me to put my case!..thankyou..you seem like someone who may get it..jus niot after anyhing just the new level..this is pretty big..anyways..don't dismiss as a nut..that I anit..well prob am...as its pretty crazy what I've just written..but youno..this isnt a windup..this is real and humanity will miss a big opportunity! and then I can say well at least I tried..Ill still do my art..so no worries its just a shame thats all! neways be good Sim

[beammeawish]

neways am limited to a amount of characters...my birthday is 14.01.1970 that should have some significance...as signs are evrywhere neways all I ask is for you to look at my art on my facebook page "art de courcy beamish" I'm really hoping someone..will get me.or at least be open to argue..but the second coming is prophised and we are in the new age which has enabled as to regress to the old age and touch are inner old selfs! but conclusion ..I'm trying to do it the quick way.but will getthere!

[beammeawish]

yes with ya completely...em check my art out on my FB page..been diagnosed with schzio affective disorder ( but do not dismiss me as a nut)..as have worked out alot and been well for twenty years it was just when I first saw..that caused probs but now its normal..communicate with anything and everything aliens the pleanets, stars,everything and go about my business normally...but like the song gnarls barkley said, I s

[MugounXShimjang]

I'm dying to know more about this, where can i look?

[beammeawish]

.I don't really need the hassle..but thers quite alot of things that have gone in my life that points to this...I do hope someone reads this who gets it...alot of codes and foretelling in music and art..but I have nothing to prove it is there in front of me..theycall it delusions but I know I'm correct...I'm never wrong..and if you can prove me wrong then fair game...god has directly altered reality for me on two

[Casketkrusher]
