- Giovanni Battista Cipriani
2 The Cheese And Cracker Factor
The problem with the snack is that I unknowingly consumed cream cheese past its expiration date. Searching the internet, I discovered that certain types of mold found on old cheese is known to cause hallucinations upon digestion (food poisoning). I also discovered that during this time, a bad batch of rye seeds entered into the United States. These rye seeds (in the crackers I consumed) contained a chemical found in LSD, a chemical known to cause hallucinations. It would be very easy for me and anyone else to dismiss my experience as a mere hallucination, however, I am currently able to see Naked Angels through meditation and without the influence of a stale snack. On the other hand, I am not dismissing the role that these chemicals played in the original experience either. LSD, is a drug used by some people to "enhance" awareness. And it is under the influence of this drug, that some people have reported seeing angels.
3 The Effect Of Music On Angelic Visions
Music plays a tremendous role in my ability to see Naked Angels - in particular, New Age type music. In fact, I can manifest a higher percentage of viewings through listening to this music than without.
4 Other Reports of Seeing Angels Under Strange Influences
The Ecstatic Journey: The Transforming Power of Mystical Experience. Burnham, Sophy. (1997). New York: Ballantine. http://www.csp.org/chrestomathy/ecstatic_journey.shtml"The drug came on so fast that she got scared. She tried to throw up. She sat on the floor by the toilet and put her finger down her throat, but she couldn't vomit. She thought she would die, then thought, "This has to be okay. It was my choice. What will be will be." It was early spring and the trees were just blooming. The next thing she knew she was sitting on the lawn looking up at a flowering tree, and it was glorious. She remembers it still as gorgeous, psychedelic explosions of pink light. A moment later: "I was in heaven. I was on a cloud, certainly no longer on Earth."http://www.hippy.com/php/article.php?sid=84"About a year ago my fear worsened when my friend (who smokes quite often), told me he smoked a joint one night which dissociated him from his body and he saw angels, demons, and other terrifying things. even though he was told "Be careful with this joint," when it was given to him, he smoked it with his friend anyway."http://www.levity.com/mavericks/lilly2.htm"They? You're personalizing. I used to personalize. I saw angels, extraterrestrials, then I called them guides and finally I called them ECCO and it's totally impersonal. It's way beyond what people can understand except in a ketamine or LSD state. Then they tell you, well we're at a low level, there are influences above us. It would be nice to meet these entities that experience these various states. They won't take human form, though; it's a waste of their time. And once I joined them and realized that that's where I came from and that I had gotten bored and become human in order to have some different experiences with a smaller intelligence. It's like becoming a cat or something, to find out what's going on with the cat."http://www.nderf.org/lsd_assoc_nde.htm"Angels. They seemed to be looking at me from their positions and I could see their wings turning and moving. Slowly opening wide and closing, it was an amazing sight. They were being illuminated by a light source I could not see, but the 'sky' above them was yellowish-white in color and very bright. I scanned the top of the clouds and looked at all the motion of the Angels trying to see some features, but they were just too far away to see their faces or much of their bodies, but their wings were surprisingly large and very easy to see."http://www.pondside.com/wraith/wraith/0110GSwakingupwsid.html"I read an invocation to some guy who had a ratio of seven consonants per vowel in his name, and the next thing I knew I was seeing shit you would not believe. I went to look out the window and there were dead people EVERYWHERE. Walking on huge, armed groups, or out by themselves. I saw angels flying in the god damn sky. I saw stuff flopping in the street."http://www.psychedelic-library.org/books/ecstatic24.htm"As the language changed, the vision changed. The word manifested the form. I was able to silently say a word or phrase, listen to it, stop it, play it backwards, replay, shuffle the words. Buzzzzzz—I move forward into future incarnations—angels leading me—trees, fruits, mountains, rivers sprang up—I was transformed from one god to another, moving up the hierarchy of consciousness.

5 Manners In Which Naked Angels Were Witnessed (See above URLs for details.)
6 The Naked Angel Artist Aliases
7 Definition of a Successful Visualization
A successful visualization is one that manifests Naked Angels through the efforts of meditation/remote viewing. From the International Remote Viewing Association: Remote viewing is a novel perceptual discipline for gaining information not available to the ordinary physical senses. Used extensively by so-called "psychic spies" during the Cold War for classified military projects, it has a long history both as an intelligence gathering tool and as the subject of research and applications in the civilian world. Remote viewing has now taken a long step into the public domain with the formation of a professional association to propose standards, test performance, and promote peaceful use and development of this unique human mental capacity. See Also: What Is Remote Viewing?
8 What It Means To Communicate
From Section 3: Experience has also shown me that interaction with Naked Angels is possible, whereby I ask a question, and wait for an image to appear. The receipt of such an image is what makes a communication occur.
9 Participating In The Naked Angel Project
Open to all, participation in the Naked Angel Project is defined as an exchange of information questioning the existence of such angels and suggesting a validation, or invalidation, of a visual presentation.
10 Recent Viewings of Naked Angels
One day I asked to see where "they" lived. "Do you live here on earth with us? On another planet? In another solar system? Where? Where? Give me a sign!!" I said. Well, they did! I saw an angel showing me the Star of David... on a plain white sign.
From http://exoplanets.org/:
"Another name for the Morning/Day/Evening Star-Venus is the "Star of David," symbolized by the six pointed Jewish Star. This crowning orbit of Venus is also symbolized by the ancient Egyptian Crux Ansata or Ankh Cross-- the Cross of Life."From http://bcornet2.homestead.com/files/esoRenne.htm:
"Revelation 21:16 "I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star."Another time, I asked who "they" were, specifically, and I was shown an "ark." I've interpreted from this sight that these angels are "ark-angels" (archangels).
From "Antroposophy - spiritualisation of Western culture and thought" http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/3987/anthro1.html:
"On Venus we will be like the Archangels, and on Vulcan like the Archai."Here's an interesting webpage about mysterious "life" on Venus. Aside from that, I have other experiences with Naked Angels that lead me to believe:
- their environment is surrounded by clouds
- they exist around structures (buildings) that can be archaic, or, newly built.
- wings are a common theme in their architecture.
- there are gazillions of them.
- they do not appear to belong to a hierarchy.
- their purpose is to transfer information from ? to ?
- they can literally walk on air.
- they are very fit (muscular, slim, etc).
- they are not old, nor are they young - rather, somewhere between (30s-40s?).
- they have an extremely serious nature.
- they fly in groups (haven't seen a single flight yet)
- they are taller than the average human.
- they speak through telepathy (with a human voice/words), or, not at all.
- not all angels have white wings.
- they are very authoritative.
- they enjoy music and play instruments (not talking about your typical harp here).
- they have been seen by (pre-historic) humans
:A November 2002 remote viewing revealed a cave drawing that resembled a group of flying creatures:

17 The Artistic License
From Section 2: "Past experience has shown that not all visions are perfectly composed, colorful, or even visually stimulating. As an artist, I am naturally inclined to enhance a visual result to conform to the rules of design. However, to remain objective, I've committed to produce a work of art that strongly resembles the original experience in question. I predict that this type of "enhancement" will not reduce its impact upon viewers, but instead, heighten it, and make the final product valuable visually, meaningfully, and economically."
18 Successive Growth Of Interaction
I have defined "successive growth" as the event of increasing number of people providing feedback upon the images produced. This will not only indicate the value of interest in the project, but will also (favorably) affect the validation process.
19 Liquidity Of The Artwork
The artwork available will be deemed liquid when they:
- are auctioned at reputable (spiritually oriented) centers at a cost (at least) 20% higher than purchased for.
- repeatedly represented at well-known (spiritually oriented) galleries
- are part of well known (spiritually oriented) collections (see notes 13, 14, 15, and 16.)
- sell at a higher price (at least 20%) without a decrease in sales
- receive favorable (spiritually oriented) reviews
20 The Well-Composed Image
The well-composed image is one that combines the elements and principles of design in a pleasing manner. Of course, "pleasing," is subjective, however, I have elected to render a design according to what has been universally accepted.
On my 22nd birthday, a close friend of mine gave me, "The Mythic Tarot" as a gift. Aside from being mere cards, "The Mythic Tarot" is an exemplary art of life explanation because it miraculously embodies every living predicament one may find oneself in. As absurd as it may sound, I really believe the study of life and thereafter may be reviewed in this tarot version. And it is what I have chosen as a basis for my studious travel through earthly existence.
22 Philosophical Meanings
23 Feedback
From Section 4: I plan to evaluate the results of this project by validating my visual experiences with the feedback 23 of participating parties. When the process of developing artwork is completed and presented for evaluation, participating parties will communicate either, (1) "Yes, this is what I've seen myself," (a positive remark) or, (2) "No, I do not recognize that imagery at all," (a negative remark). A positive remark is deemed a validation.
24 Disturbing Images
These type of images are those that I do not feel comfortable manifesting in art form, and/or displaying in my home, and/or showing to others with my name attached to it. What may be disturbing to me may not be disturbing to others and vice versa. Perhaps some participants will demand a disturbing image be portrayed in visual form instead of textual form. Never-the-less, I must consider my reputation and family first, before succumbing to such a demand.
