Idea: Alcohol Patch
as an alternative to traditional oral consumption:
Works on the same principle as a tobacco patch: to the blood via the skin.

Some points on how to stimulate creativity
1. Inhibitory state of consciousness vs Excitatory state.
2. Excitatory is caused by new information stream.
3. To allow the stream into our psyche the Inhibitory must be deactivated.
4. It can be achieved by altering personal state of consciousness.
5. There are many different methods.
6. When Inhibitory dominates Excitatory, synopses of brain cortex become less fluidic and the person becomes more like a robot.
7. When Excitatory dominates, pineal gland is stimulated and the person becomes more free spirited.
8. Creativity is spirit that thrives on irrelevant streams of information.
9. Irrelevant is what is outside the 'Channel Normal'.

Transcendental Art : Entoptic forms
Conventional art is based on perception of outside world (material objects), whereas entoptic (or transcendental) art is generated by inner world (nervous system) and represents different types of subjective visual phenomena.
Entoptic art is psychosomatic in nature and comes out of oneself - namely from the psyche of participating observer.
Interestingly enough, the very first art form on the planet was ‘kick started’ by taking psychoactive ingredients in the diet of the first artists.
“Lewis-Williams and Dowson brought forward the original thesis that Paleolithic art is inspired by subjective visual phenomena, seen and depicted by shamans or spiritual men and women during altered states of consciousness.”
T. McKenna’s “Stoned Ape Theory” is also closely related to this entopic phenomena.
Entoptic forms are created (and perceived) by means of altering a state of consciousness of the observer. A good analogy would be a psychedelic drug. Another good example – a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli in the mind of the observer. In other words, these art forms are created out of neurological makeup of the observer, inside the head, responding to external stimuli.
Since entoptic art is a self made, self generated type of art, it is relevant to mention: the better is the observer’s imagination; the richer is the art experience.
Entoptic phenomena is related to the ‘Observer’s Paradox’ principle from quantum physics. (It has been proven that conscious act of observation changes behavior of the observed object.) So, I assert that in entoptic trance observation equals creation.
As more people become interested in exploring personal psyche, ‘right brain’ technologies and gather more accurate understanding of how a human mind works – the creation of new diverse psychoactive stimuli will follow.
Just as with all thoughts and feelings of humankind, the original entoptic creations are stored in the planet’s noosphere (collective consciousness layer) and can be easily accessed through an appropriate stimuli. Note: stimuli dont have to be only psychoactive drugs, they can be physical devises like the dream machine lamp (mentioned above), sense deprivation tanks (Dr. Lilly's), holotropic breathwork, and other techniques to achieve alternative state of consciousness.
For example, famous shamanic paintings of Pablo Amaringo for me are just physical 3D ‘copies’ of the non-physical entopic art forms he mentally created/experienced with the help of ayahuasca stimuli.
Eventually, when the mainstream culture finally moves on from the current ‘material’ worldview paradigm to a more spiritual perception of reality (2012?), the notion of ‘art’ will also acquire a spiritually deeper meaning.
The new entoptic art paradigm will be mankind's rediscovery of the original psychedelic roots of art itself.

Retouching silly quotes
The original quote sounds like it came from a planner (or a production manager) and could have made more sense to me if it didn't have the word 'great' in it...or used the word 'efficiency' instead of 'ideas'....... bla bla...blaaaaaaaaaa

Idea: Mushroom houses for safer living
As the planet earth is facing an increase of extreme global weather and seismological activity the style and principle of conventional architecture will have to change too. Here's a concept for a future building designed to withstand extreme weather conditions - Collapsible mushroom style houses:
In the event of a dangerous event (tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunami, meteorite showers, etc.) the houses would be able to slide down into underground shaft protected by hermetically sealed cap on the top. The cap would contain solar powered batteries protected by a transparent thick layer of the strongest material available.
