Visionary Chamber 6:"The Blue Chair" from Alberto J. Almarza on Vimeo. This one is my favorite of a series of ten dream-boxes. It is inspired in a series of mind-experiments were I launched from my blue living room chair, out of my body, into Other Space. There was a scary gate-keeper there which is depicted in this video. He and his whole family offered me a tea party and by then I had forgotten who I was. I almost stayed there forever, but fortunately I remembered my earthly existence just in time. I decided to never do that again, but now I can do it wearing my Animal Suit as protection (which you can see in my POK Cave video, hanging from a tree). Cast: Alberto J. Almarza

Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson once said that the program he helped create is "utter simplicity which encases a complete mystery." We'll explore the spiritual aspects of addiction and recovery with Susan Cheever, who's written a biography of Bill Wilson. Also, Lakota teacher and healer, Basil Brave Heart, describes how, in his own life and in Native communities, the 12 Steps find resonance in indigenous spiritual practices.
