VYS0028 | Psychic Jizz - Vayse to Face with Stephanie Quick - Show Notes

Handing on a plate to Hine and Buckley the most potently inspired episode title in Vayse history is teacher, researcher, blogger and "the Julia Child of Sex Magic", Stephanie Quick. In an intense and varied conversation Stephanie takes Vayse through her near death experience, complete with a fall through the starlit sky, disembodied consciousnesses and sky-scraper sized entities, she talks about how to start off your own run of synchronicities and the conversation weaves itself around Carlos Castaneda, Gurdjieff, how to not lose yourself in your spiritual practice or join a cult... and, speaking of cults, enter the glowing orange 16-bit pineapple...

Keith's Excellent Detective Work (gods bless you, Keith) - Based on SQ’s mentions of her age now (61) and at later events, I reckon the exhibition she must have gone to was ‘Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet’, held at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, in 1991. There is an exhibition catalogue available. Not sure if it’s worth including, but there’s a link to it here on Abe Books

I couldn’t find anything else specific to that exhibition that wasn’t behind a pay-wall or on a subscription site, but here’s a short video trailer for that museum’s similar exhibitions:
