KALI is Song 16 in Out of Your Mind, and the fiercest one. The dark goddess is not the enemy of the light. She is the ground the light stands on. Destruction is creation seen from one side. A dignified dark C minor bed that turns from a dirge into a dance, a fierce spit-rap instead of a sermon, a four-armed silhouette in a ring of fire, and a bunny who walks in and dances with her.

STOP LOOKING is Song 13 in Out of Your Mind, and the chase film. Stop hunting the one who is looking, because the thing you are searching for is the one doing the searching. The eye cannot catch the eye behind the scan. Watts told it as a comedy: a thief climbs floor to floor with the police behind, up to the roof, nowhere left to go. The film chases hard over a Bach-toccata EDM, then drops into a dead-still heartbeat, and the thing the bunny was hunting turns out to have been here the whole time. CC BY 4.0.
MAYA is Song 09 in Out of Your Mind, the Napkin Films series built from the Alan Watts lectures. It is the one about the convincing illusion of separation: lift one mirror, another one lights, and each reveal hides one more until the audience is you. So this one is a literal hall of mirrors, and the Plan 9 bunny dances inside it on a real skeleton rig over a proper EDM score with an anthem hook. CC BY 4.0.
Making Complexity Legible is Case I of The Cartographer of Complexity, a new Napkin Films series about Making Complexity Visible. The idea: you cannot make a complex system simple without deleting what made it work, so you do not shrink the sea, you learn to read it. A tidal-EDM spit-rap, Plan 9 and OG Bobby trading bars over recomposed Telemann, with a cartographer bunny who roams a sea that brightens as it becomes legible. CC BY 4.0.
