The Original Realization
“The walls of Plato’s cave are constructed from words.” “Platonic Surrealism teaches you how to escape words, to re-remember your true nature.” — The Framework |
When You Learn Aplomb
You cannot run away from your dreams. You learn to live in peace with them. They are as eternal as you are, for they are the shadows on the cave wall projected by your own nature. All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again. We appear to like it. — The Porch |

Platonic Surrealism (PS) is a framework that is part of the “New synthesis” of Analytical Idealism,
The interface theory of perception, Imaginal semiotics, “The divided brain and the making of the
“western world” and corrections to Neoplatonism, Neognosticism and other historical frameworks.
The main focus of PS is the healing of the individual, the group, and the larger life; through simple “Liberation” techniques.
The typical folks drawn to PS are students of metaphysics, spirituality, UFOlogy and the Fortean, as our modern world has failed,
and we need to tell new and better stories, if we want to live in peace and prosperity.
PS is not a cult, not a religion, not even a ‘spiritual system’ per se. None of that nonsense. It has no agenda,
other than to make helpful information available and all of PS is Public Domain.
PS originally came about due to a collaboration between Kevin Cann and Jeffrey J. Kripal during the book,
“How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else”
