[Hippies High On Alpha]

This film excerpt is about a biomeditation society in the San Fernando Valley that uses Alpha brainwave techniques to achieve greater awareness and internal states. The film follows the group's leader, Jack Garris, as he warms up his members with a preliminary yoga circle of fire. The idea of using scientific aspects to explore internal states is highlighted, and the film also explores the concept of "Maya" or the illusion that we create and call reality. The film concludes with Garris leading his members through a cleansing ritual to wipe out past karma, guilt, and fears. We digitized and uploaded this film from the A/V Geeks 16mm Archive.
