(Link of the week: Deception as the Only Law of Nature)
Platonic Surrealism (PS) is a framework composed of philosophical, mystical, spiritual and imaginal elements,
with a profound respect for natural science. Platonic Surrealism is ONE way to ‘have your cake and eat it too’.
To find peace and meaning, despite all the minefields.
It is not a cult. It has no ‘dear leader’. It can bring us all together. Yes, it is aspirational. But it is quite REALIST about the nature of things.
It was first remembered (developed) by Kevin Cann, a co-author of Jeffrey J. Kripal in the book : How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else, University of Chicago Press, 2024.
The system is very cordial with: atheism, philosophy, metaphysics, spiritualism, Yoga etc. It is especially kindly disposed towards humanists, and other species. It is NOT friendly to dogmatic believers of any religion, including scientism, though it recognizes the unique contributions of many of the founders, who likely had high-functioning autism.
If you are super lazy and low-motivational (go you!) just read this for a taste: Platonic Surrealism in Brief. If you are even lazier (to quote Darth Vader “Impressive!”) you can watch a video interview: [New Thinking Allowed] [Neon Galactic], or catch our first in-house video here.

If you are a visual mystic or artist, you might want to view this page first thing.
