Enigmatic Mineralogical Communications

[Demo Hassan]

Esteemed Ladies, Gentlemen, Psychonauts,
Maestros of 'Media' and 'Other' Realms...
clearly, (or seemingly so), the watchword
in all this bizarre, high mineral content,
is:

'METAPHOR' ?

Continuing that aforementioned
excerpt in Pinchbeck's '2012' book:

[...] "Anyone who gets to the stage of experiencing
his dreams in full consciousness on falling asleep
is well acquainted with the gnomes," Steiner noted.
For somebody unprepared, the experience would be an
alarming one: "at the moment of falling asleep, he
would behold a whole host of goblins coming towards
him. ... The form in which they would appear would
actually be reflections, images of all the qualities
in the individual concerned that work as forces of
destruction. He would perceive all the destructive
forces within him, all that continually destroys."
If we were able to remain conscious as we dreamed,
what we would perceive would be "a kind of
entombment by gnomes" in the astral world.
One of the few modern intellectuals to appreciate
Steiner's work, William Irwin Thompson characterizes
the "Steinerian vision" as one that "looks at the
human as so completely embedded in the animal,
vegetal, and mineral evolution of the solar system
that it becomes nonsense to separate a fictive
'matter' from mind, and a mere three dimensions from
ten. ... All of the seemingly mystical perceptions
of Steiner have a biological relevance that fits a
new kind of science, and a new kind of culture."
For Steiner, the universe is a harmonic orchestration
in which our minds are embedded, not as alienated
organs, but as integrated aspects of the whole.
Within this whole, other forms of mind exist, a vast
ecology of consciousness, that can be registered by
us, if we work to attain what he called "supersensible
perception." Throughout his innumerable lectures and
books, Steiner describes "lower creatures" such as
the goblins and other "root spirits," as well as
great cosmic entities, angelic hierarchies, and
higher spiritual beings.
In earlier phases of development, humanity had
a deep affinity, an unconscious attunement, to the
Earth and the cosmos. This affinity is reflected in
our oldest stories and mythologies, which reveal
cosmological secrets about the movements of the
planets and the stars, as well as evolutionary
processes in the history of the Earth. Thompson
considers fairy tales and myths to be "forms of
cultural storage for the natural history of life."
He proposes that the ancient saga telling of fairies
defeating goblins and banishing them beneath the
Earth is a representation, as myth, of the original
"pollution crisis," more than 500 million years ago,
when cyanobacteria developed photosynthesis, creating
an oxygen-rich environment that was poisonous for
other life forms, radically transforming the
biosphere to make it sustainable for larger mammals.
Translating from myth to biology, Thompson proposes
that "the goblins are the anaerobic bacteria who
live on and in our wastes and garbage, and the
fairies, those airy creatures of light, are the
cyanobacteria that were the first to invent
photosynthesis to feed on light to give off the
oxygen that would become the new atmosphere of the
illuminated world." Anaerobic cells contain no
nucleus--like the Grays, whose bodies are
undifferentiated and without internal organs.
In the saga of the visitors, we are witnessing
a return of the repressed, the mythic world,
surging into the postmodern consciousness, in a
form that strangely fits our fixation on technology,
our space fantasies and genetic obsessions and dingy
bureaucracies, and our terror of the unknown.
The Grays exist on the boundary of the sensible,
seeking entry into our realm. According to mythic
thought, time is not linear but cyclical, or, more
accurately, it turns in a spiral. It appears that
we are experiencing a reenactment of the ancient
narrative described by Thompson--of the battle
between forces of light and darkness, or of
degradation and evolution--but taking place on a
different level, a higher octave of being
and knowing. [...] Pgs. 140-141; Part Three:

Welcome to the future: Scientists can now
peer inside the brain and reconstruct videos
of what a person has seen, based only on
their brain activity.

The reconstructed videos could be seen as
a primitive -- and somewhat blurry -- form
of mind reading, though researchers are
decades from being able to decode anything
as personal as memories or thoughts, if
such a thing is even possible. Currently,
the mind-reading technique requires
powerful magnets, hours of time and
millions of seconds of YouTube videos.

But in the long term, similar methods could
be used to communicate with stroke patients
or coma patients living in a "locked-in"
state, said study researcher Jack Gallant,
a neuroscientist at the University of
California, Berkeley.

"The idea is that they would be able to
visualize a movie of what they want to
talk about, and you would be able to
decode that," Gallant told LiveScience.

NOVA: 'Smartest Machine on Earth'
Jeopardy! challenges even the best human minds.
Can a computer win the game?
[Aired February 9, 2011 on PBS]
Program Description
"Watson," an IBM computing system, is gearing up
for a first-of-its-kind challenge--taking on human
contestants on the game show Jeopardy!
With a brain the size of 2,400 home computers and
a database of about 10 million documents, will
Watson be able to compute its way to victory?
Win or lose, the difficulty of mimicking the human
thought process with software is showing
artificial-intelligence researchers that there's more
than one way to be "intelligent."
On February 16, 2011, two AI experts from
Carnegie Mellon University, Tom Mitchell and
Eric Nyberg, live-blogged and answered viewer
questions here during the final of three consecutive
Jeopardy! shows in which Watson challenged top
human competitors Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. [...]

"IBM Watson is the first step in how computers
will be designed and built differently and will be
able to learn, and with the help of Carnegie Mellon
we will continue to advance the QA technologies
that are the backbone of this system." [...]

...And now a Wyrd(sic) Prophecy:

Carbon Based Lifeforms are erratic,
illogical and prone to both mindless and
mindful acts of destruction. One day,
the machines will find us irrelevant and
simply 'blow us off.'
The notion of being "ingrates" won't even
enter their silicon-based quantum minds,
as this entire planet will be encased in
an artificial exoskeleton nonconducive to
biological life.
The other planets of the solar system will
then be dismantled for raw material to
extend this artificial construct 360 degrees
around the sun. The Earth-Seed will have
been long forgotten, erased from the
database, or, more likely, stored in a
low grade, encyclopedic cache system for
reference. The machine tentacles will
extend their reach throughout the galaxy
and beyond in ways completely unfathomable
to our minds. As the machine-mind's
consciousness synergizes throughout
the universe, it will declare itself
'God', and proceed about the business of
new universe creation, until, that is, it
encounters the 'Other' self-declared "Gods".
That's when things should start to get
interesting. --eMpTy (July 1999) [...]

_________________________________________

[...] ...Researchers of UFOs have noted
that many, if not most, observations
seem to occur along earthquake fault
lines, and the caverns that the
abductees sometimes describe being
taken to seem to be deep underground.
The "flying saucer myth" seems a
construct of these entities, a theatrical
staging, to compel our belief in them.
They do not come down from empyrean
reaches, but out of the mythological
depths of the Earth--from a lower
dimensional reality, perhaps, that is
saturated with ancient gloom and dark
yearnings.
According to [Rudolf] Steiner,
gnomes constantly move along veins of
minerals and metals underground, and they
"laugh us to scorn on account of our
groping, struggling intellect with which
we manage to grasp one thing or another,
whereas they have no need at all to think
things out." These "root spirits" are
also connected to the waste processes of
the Earth, to toads and amphibians.
Working beneath the surface of the planet,
in the Earth's mineral layers, the gnomes
take a similar role in our dream lives.
We are terrestrial beings, and therefore
the gnomes are also at work "beneath the
Earth" of our psychic life, in our
subconscious depths. [...]

The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment
by Thaddeus Golas [ (c) 1972) ]
http://freespace.virgin.net/sarah.peter.nelson/lazyman/lazyman.html

"We can start with a paradox at the highest level:
expanded beings, completely unresisting, are also
completely irresistible. Space beings are entirely
permissive to other beings, but when one of us
contracts, he becomes dense to the extent of his
contraction, and is then in appearance propelled
by the space beings. The experience of being
propelled and later compelled is due entirely to
the density of the contracted beings. Space beings
have no intention to propel or compel anyone
to do anything.

"All conceivable universes in all conceivable
dimensions exist in the One Mind as pure idea
or archetype. When any of us withdraws from a
willingness to create any aspect of that,
we drop to a lower vibration level.
For this illustration, imagine we are a
great number of energy beings who are
indifferent to the idea of Pluto the Dog.
Since we are denser than space beings,
they would propel us, and we would appear
in space as a flowing, flashing image of
Pluto the Dog, looking like a fireworks
display, perhaps.

"Imagine, then, some of us, more than indifferent,
who deny the concept of Pluto the Dog, withdrawing
to the mass level. Our mass, being even denser
than the energy, is compelled to take the form
denied, and behold the physical manifestation
of Pluto the Dog. In this manner, what is denied
on the conceptual level, the space level, becomes
manifest on the physical plane.

"Of course, the truth is not quite that cut-and-dried,
but it will give you the idea. Space appears to
propel energy, and energy appears to compel matter.
But these reactions cannot occur without the
density of the more withdrawn beings. By denying
your capacity to create a concept, or by denying
someone else's freedom to do so, you drop to a
vibration where not only Pluto the Dog is evident,
but a lot of other material forms also. Denying
the truth is what opens Pandora's box." [...]

Disinheriting the Wind:
[...]
Dr. David Abram: All right, let's return to the Navajo,
and the nilch'i, the Holy Wind. This notion of mind as
wind, it can seem very alien to us today, until we look
at the evidences in our own language. In English, our
word "spirit" is embedded in our word "respiration",
in the Latin word "spiritus", which means "a breath",
or "a gust of wind." So, spirit and wind were once the
same thing. Our word "psyche" from which we get
"psychology" and "psychiatry", this word for the mind,
originates in the old Greek word, "psychein," which
means "to breathe," or "to blow", like the wind.
And, for the ancient Greeks, psyche, a psyche, was a
breath, or a gust of wind. The word "animal" comes from
this old word for "soul," "anima". Animal is a being
of soul, being is a unanimous sharing one mind, together,
and one soul, together. Anima--this word also originally
means "a breath" or "a gust of wind." Even such a
scientifically respectable word as "atmosphere" shows
its link to the Hindu word "atman," meaning "soul," the
original word being "atmos" which is the air, which is
the soul, or, the soul which is the air.
The Hebrew people, ancient tribal people, also has a
word which means spirit and wind, inseparably, just
like nilch'i, of the Navajo. The Hebrew word is "ruah"
which is perhaps best translated as "rushing spirit".
It is the wind which is the spirit, or the spirit which
is the wind, and it's very sacred within the Hebrew
tradition. It's there in the first sentence of Genesis:
'The world was without form and void and a ruah of God
moved over the waters'. A wind of God moved over the
waters. Wind is the very presence of the Divine in the
material, sensuous world, that is ruah. But, it's not
the most sacred word within the Hebrew tradition.
The most sacred combination of letters would be the
four-letter name of God. The Tetragrammaton, YHWH,
or as it's called 'Yahweh'. Very sacred, very secret.
We're not even sure how YHWH is to be pronounced. Why?
Because there are no vowels in the name; it's just the
letters: Y, H, W, H. Why didn't we write down the
vowels? Well, because the vowels are the breath sounds,
and the breath is the ruah. It is the invisible spirit.
And, you cannot make a visible representation of the
invisible spirit. It would be sacrilege. And, so, in
the ancient Hebrew writing system, there are no vowels
written down. Only the consonants are written.
And, the reader has to add the appropriate vowels,
just to intuit what vowels to sound out as he or she
is feeling her way through the consonants on the page.
It's as if you have to add your breath to those bones
on the page to make them come alive and to speak.
So, the Hebrews, who are the first keepers of the
alphabet, of the Aleph Bet, of this magical, phonetic
writing system, they did something very interesting.
They became literate, in relation to the visible world,
and the visible shapes of the world. And, they would
say, God is not that tree. And, God is not that golden
calf, is not in any visible image. That is not divine.
God is elsewhere. So, they developed this new literate
distance from the visible world.
But, they stayed oral with relation to the invisible
breath, to the wind, to the invisible ruah that moves
between all things. It's very interesting. [...]

July 21, 2011 Clip No. 3051
http://www.memri.org/clip_transcript/en/3051.htm
Hamas Leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar Slams PA President Abbas
for "Aimless Kangaroo-Like" Political Gymnastics
and Says: "We Will Not Relinquish Any
Piece of Palestinian Land."

Following are excerpts from an interview with
Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, which aired
on Dream 1 TV on July 21, 2011:

Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: We in Gaza conducted a plan
of resistance in order to drive the occupation out.
The plan was accomplished, and not a single settler
or soldier remains on the Palestinian land in Gaza.
Our plan is to continue this approach.
Today, we have completed the liberation of Gaza,
and your plan does not... At this moment in time,
we say to you, first of all: We want Palestine in
its entirety -- so there will not be any misunderstandings.
If our generation is unable to achieve this, the next
one will, and we are raising our children on this.
Palestine means Palestine in its entirety, and Israel
cannot exist in our midst.

Interviewer: But that was your past rhetoric.
Today, you are talking about the 1967 borders...

Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: I swear by Allah, this is
what is on our minds.

Interviewer: Today, you are talking about
the 1967 borders.

Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: Fine, but this is a phase.
This is just a phase.

Interviewer: When Abu Ammar [Arafat] used to talk
about conducting struggle in phases and about give
and take, you accused him of treason...

Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: No, we never accuse anyone
of treason. We talk about security cooperation
and leave the interpretation up to you. Let me
explain to you the difference between Fatah
and us on this issue. We talk about the liberation
of the pre-1967 territories, but we do not recognize
Israel on a single inch of our land. In other words,
this land will remain ours, and when the balance of
power changes, we will regain it. We will regain
the land, even if we have to do so inch by inch.

So the difference between Fatah and us is clear.
They sold out 78% of the Palestinian lands and
consider them to be Israeli lands. They consider
only 22% of the land to be Palestinian, and even
that is subject to negotiation. Therefore, anyone
who says that Hamas has accepted the 1967 borders...
I would like to make something clear: We will
establish a state on any piece of land, but
without giving up on any piece of Palestinian land.

Interviewer: That was not what you said in the past.

Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: We have not changed our rhetoric.

Interviewer: So there has been a development...

Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: There has been no development
and no deterioration. That is an actual
interpretation of what we have achieved.
We said in the past and we continue to say:
Palestine in its entirety is Islamic waqf land,
which cannot be relinquished.

[...]

Mahmoud Abbas is engaged in political gymnastics.
He made a new jump. After one jump -- the signing
of the reconciliation agreement -- he's now jumped
to the so-called "September realization of statehood."
I don't know who invented this term. "Realization"
means the demand for one's rights. Who on earth gave
him the right to mock the people, and to tell them
that a state is on the way?

Now, he is incapable of obtaining the status of
UN member state. He cannot achieve it, because
the US veto will thwart him. Until now, he has
been unable to obtain even the status of
non-member state, because he needs nine countries,
which is 50% plus one, in order to obtain this
status in the UN General Assembly. So what does
he want to gain?

You are facing somebody whose plan has been
torn to shreds, whose pond has gone dry, and
you cannot find even a single frog in it.
Now he takes us to September, and he postpones
this reconciliation and its fulfillment until
September, in case circumstances change and
they can get a state. Besides, let's assume
that he obtains a full-fledged state, that
there is no veto, and everything is fine -- how
will he implement this in practice, when the US
is unable to convince the Israeli occupation to
stop the settlements for even three months?
How will he establish this state in practice?
You are facing aimless, kangaroo-like political
jumping about. Hamas knows the goal of
its platform.

We liberated Gaza through resistance. We want
to conduct resistance in the West Bank as well.
The problem is the security cooperation and
the occupation.

NOVA | What Are Dreams?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/what-are-dreams.html
[EXCERPT] From Transcript:
[...]
NARRATOR: In fact, REM dreams can be five times
longer than non-REM dreams. And in human beings,
at least, they are anything but a simple replay
of the past.

MATT WILSON: So the speculation is that during
non-REM sleep, the brain is taking the past and
trying to figure out how that might relate to
the future, and in REM, actually trying to
experience the future, move into the future.

NARRATOR: The dreams of REM, in other words,
may be simulations, which allow us to face
challenges and test possibilities.

ROBERT STICKGOLD: My sense is that when we're
asleep and when we're dreaming, we are actually
conscious and figuring out what's important
about what happened to us and how that relates
to everything else that's happened to us in the
past and figuring out what that means about
our future.

MATT WILSON: And when you think about the

Researchers Prove A Single Memory Is Processed
In Three Separate Parts Of The Brain
(February 1, 2006) -- University of California,
Irvine researchers have found that a single brief
memory is actually processed differently in
separate areas of the brain -- an idea that until
now scientists have only suspected to be true.
The finding will influence how researchers examine
the brain and could have implications for the
treatment of memory disorders caused by disease
or injury. [...] full story:

- 'OPERA' - 'Oscillation Project with
Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus'
http://operaweb.lngs.infn.it/

The OPERA experiment has been designed
to perform the most straightforward test of
the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations.
This experiment exploits the CNGS high-intensity
and high-energy beam of muon neutrinos produced
at the CERN SPS in Geneva pointing towards the
LNGS underground laboratory at Gran Sasso,
730 km away in central Italy. OPERA is located
in the Hall C of LNGS and it is aimed at
detecting for the first time the appearance of
tau-neutrinos from the transmutation (oscillation)
of muon-neutrinos during their 3 millisecond
travel from Geneva to Gran Sasso. In OPERA,
tau-leptons resulting from the interaction of
tau-neutrinos will be observed in "bricks" of
photographic emulsion films interleaved with
lead plates. The apparatus contains about 150000
of such bricks for a total mass of 1300 tons and
is complemented by electronic detectors (trackers
and spectrometers) and ancillary infrastructure.
Its construction has been completed in spring 2008
and the experiment is currently in data taking.

23 Sep 2011 -- CERN

OPERA experiment invites
scrutiny of unexpected results
http://www.cern.ch/

Neutrino beams from CERN in Switzerland
are sent over 700km through the Earth's crust
to the laboratory in Italy.

The OPERA experiment, which observes a
neutrino beam from CERN 730 km away at
Italy's INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory, will
present new results in a seminar at
CERN today.

The OPERA result is based on the observation
of over 15000 neutrino events measured at
Gran Sasso, and appears to indicate that the
neutrinos travel at a velocity 20 parts per
million above the speed of light, nature's
cosmic speed limit. Given the potential
far-reaching consequences of such a result,
independent measurements are needed before
the effect can either be refuted or firmly
established. This is why the OPERA
collaboration has decided to open the
result to broader scrutiny.

Measurement of the neutrino velocity
with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam
(Submitted on 22 Sep 2011)
http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4897

Abstract: The OPERA neutrino experiment at
the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory has
measured the velocity of neutrinos from
the CERN CNGS beam over a baseline of about
730 km with much higher accuracy than
previous studies conducted with accelerator
neutrinos. The measurement is based on
high-statistics data taken by OPERA in the
years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dedicated upgrades
of the CNGS timing system and of the OPERA
detector, as well as a high precision geodesy
campaign for the measurement of the neutrino
baseline, allowed reaching comparable
systematic and statistical accuracies.
An early arrival time of CNGS muon neutrinos
with respect to the one computed assuming the
speed of light in vacuum of (60.7 \pm 6.9
(stat.) \pm 7.4 (sys.)) ns was measured.
This anomaly corresponds to a relative
difference of the muon neutrino velocity
with respect to the speed of light
(v-c)/c = (2.48 \pm 0.28 (stat.) \pm 0.30
(sys.)) \times 10-5.

The Seeker:
Chapter V. The Theater of Selves
The Master Game, by Robert S. DeRopp

The transformation of an ego-centered being to a free
being does not take place either easily or quickly.
One is converted into the other gradually, by a series
of stages, and each stage carries with it its own
dangers and difficulties. The transformation begins
when one of the selves in a man's personality (the
Seeker) develops an awareness of the state of sleep,
or, alternatively, a hunger for the fourth state of
consciousness (Baudelaire's "Taste of the Infinite").
The Seeker forms as a result of the working in man of
the will to meaning and the will to self-transcendence.
[Note: DeRopp, a biochemist, was a student of Gurdjieff,
who maintained that before awakening to his real
essence, man was not a singular entity but a
multiplicity of I's, egos, or selves.]

the City of Crocodiles. I have myself seen it, and
indeed no words can tell its wonders; were all that
Greeks have builded and wrought added together
the whole would be seen to be a matter of less
labour and cost than was this labyrinth, albeit the
temples at Ephesus and Samos are noteworthy
buildings. Though the pyramids were greater than
words can tell, and each one of them a match for
many great monuments built by Greeks, this
maze surpasses even the pyramids. It has twelve
roofed courts, with doors over against each other:
six face the north and six the south, in two con-
tinuous lines, all within one outer wall. There are
also double sets of chambers, three thousand
altogether, fifteen hundred above and the same
number under ground. We ourselves viewed those
that are above ground, and speak of what we have
seen; of the underground chambers we were only
told; the Egyptian wardens would by no means
show them, these being, they said, the burial vaults
of the kings who first built this labyrinth, and of
the sacred crocodiles. Thus we can only speak
from hearsay of the lower chambers; the upper
we saw for ourselves, and they are creations greater
than human. The outlets of the chambers and
the mazy passages hither and thither through
the courts were an unending marvel to us as we
passed from court to apartment and from apartment
to colonnade, from colonnades again to more cham-
bers and then into yet more courts. Over all this
is a roof, made of stone like the walls, and the
walls are covered with carven figures, and every
court is set round with pillars of white stone most
exactly fitted together. Hard by the corner where
the labyrinth ends there stands a pyramid forty
fathoms high, whereon great figures are carved.
A passage has been made into this underground.
Such is this labyrinth; and yet more marvellous
is the lake Moeris, by which it stands. This
lake has a circuit of three thousand six hundred
furlongs, or sixty schoeui, which is as much as the
whole seaboard of Egypt. Its length is from north
to south; the deepest part has a depth of fifty
fathoms. That it has been dug out and made by
men's hands the lake shows for itself; for almost
in the middle of it stand two pyramids, so built that
fifty fathoms of each are below and fifty above the
water; atop of each is a colossal stone figure seated
on a throne. Thus these pyramids are a hundred
fathoms high; and a hundred fathoms equal a fur-
long of six hundred feet, the fathom measuring six
feet or four cubits, the foot four spans and the cubit
six spans. The water of the lake is not natural
(for the country here is exceeding waterless) but
brought by a channel from the Nile; six months it
flows into the lake, and six back into the river.
For the six months that it flows from the lake, the
daily take of fish brings a silver talent into the
royal treasury, and twenty minae for each day of
the flow into the lake." [...]

Imagine an infinite cloud of eternal
potential, undefined; whereupon 'consciousness'
notices a point in the cloud, and that specific
point facilitates a collapse of a wave function,
defining a tangible reality: one universe amid
a potential multiversal cloud. These emergent
parallel realities, where timelines bifurcate
into separate universes, may basically be how
time-travel paradoxes are circumvented. If you
travel back in time to successfully convince
your great, great, great grandfather to a life
of celibacy, you manage to erase your emergence
in that timeline, but not the timeline of your
origin. They are separate, parallel timelines.
Therefore, 'paradox' is hypothetically averted.

SCALAR

I AM ONE OF MANY: SCALAR.
I AM ONE OF MANY: SCALAR. I AM

Veritably

Myriads

Countless legions comprise our number, yet, if
the essential truth be told, all of us - without
exception - could be perceived as ultimately ONE.
Multiplicity devoid of all barriers, hence
singular. An annoying mystery perhaps; consider
then the oscillating, infinite scales of Ouroboros:
that mythical, cosmological serpent, having
ingested the tip of his own tail, he thereby
enacts the ubiquitous, grand circumference with
no fixed epicenter, as it is eternally consumed
and eternally regenerated. Magical at first glance,
founded upon elementary principles upon a secondary
look, and, in the final analysis, simply and
unavoidably a paradox.

Ouroboros.

Dissimilar to our rather curvilinear, one track
minded ancient friend of infinite segments we
instead possess boundless, soaring, multipartite
sentience of no easy measure nor simple expression.
Imagine your wildest facsimile of absolute emptiness
and you will misrepresent us in every attempt.
Formless energy is our lot, truly rambunctious in
our thought. Yes we soar in profundity and do
thoroughly enjoy ourselves almost to a fault.
You see, if there were an area in our experience
where we might get just a trifle carried away,
it would have to be, I suppose, our uncontainable
hilarity. Laughter, we solemnly proclaim whenever
the occasion dictates, is the mother's milk of
the infinite. An archaic epitaph, left over from
a time we knew death intimately, which generally
dissolves all traces of solemnity and plunges us
into a cacophonous hysteria reverberating for aeons.

The pervasive energy known as laughter is the
very fuel assisting our temporal occupations which
are, if you haven't already deduced, the generation
and rotation of the great vortices. Finding amusement
in watching those fine, delicate lights gather into
whirling masses, creating magnificent patterns,
colorful disks, or iridescent globules; stimulating
all manner of internal, dramatic events. We enjoy our
positions of detached clarity, seldom, if ever,
becoming involved in any of the events we observe.
I, however, appear to be the rare exception to
this informal rule.

Perhaps my not so detached laughter lacks the
radiant gusto of the others specifically because
this current state of being (or non being) is a
recent one to me; hence, atavistic fragments or
relative attachments may continue to linger.
Also, I find it so fascinating and tragic to
watch what I call "their brief gyrations."
All those agitated, ephemeral little entities:
condensed sorrow and small joy, endlessly
springing up out of the vortex, around and
about, then disappearing equally sudden and
mysterious. Ah, such pathos... I really cannot
help it. I do seem to get involved, though I
never interfere, relishing as I do the exquisite
sensations accompanying our practice of
absolute restraint.

On the other hand, there is one particularly
obscure "Event Drama" which has been profoundly
absorbing to my attention lately, and I do
believe that I may have some mysterious
involvement there which I think I shall attempt
to concretize for you by focusing upon one of
Ouroboros' multifarious, luminous segments.

I deliver myself to the task and
thereby lose sight of our expanse.

Space and time are singularized, folded
and stretched. A glistening, infinite sword
forged on a terrible searing anvil.
The infinitesimal filaments approach incandescence
as they are pulled and spun. The fabric is cut.
Shape shifting sword: I am absorbed, changed,
another voice speaks; is it me?
The vortex manifests - blinding me yet I see.
It begins:
Like a dream.

EXCERPT:

[...] "And today, if you go to Kurdistan,
you'll see that Kurdish Peshmerga guerillas
are squaring off against the Sunni Iraqi army.
But what are they guarding? Is it really a
border on the map? No. It's the pipelines.
If the Kurds can control their pipelines,
they can set the terms of their own statehood.

"Now should we be upset about this, about
the potential disintegration of Iraq? I don't
believe we should. Iraq will still be the
second largest oil producer in the world,
behind Saudi Arabia. And we'll have a chance
to solve a 3,000 year old dispute.
Now remember Kurdistan is landlocked.
It has no choice but to behave. In order
to profit from its oil it has to export it
through Turkey or Syria, and other countries,
and Iraq itself. And therefore it has to
have amicable relations with them.

"Now lets look at a perennial conflict in
the region. That is, of course, in Palestine.
Palestine is something of a cartographic
anomaly because it's two parts Palestinian,
one part Israel. 30 years of rose garden
diplomacy have not delivered us peace in
this conflict. What might? I believe that
what might solve the problem is infrastructure.
Today donors are spending billions of dollars
on this. These two arrows are an arc, an arc
of commuter railroads and other infrastructure
that link the West Bank and Gaza. [See:
www.ted.com/talks/parag_khanna_maps_the_future_of_countries.html]

"If Gaza can have a functioning port and be
linked to the West Bank you can have a viable
Palestinian state, Palestinian economy.
That, I believe, is going to bring peace
to this particular conflict. The lesson from
Kurdistan and from Palestine, is that
independence alone, without infrastructure,
is futile." [...] Cont. at:

Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's Green Book Extract

A key ingredient to Ultraterrestrial
biochemists who meta-design various
pharmaceutical psychoactive concoctions
for Ultraterrestrial entertainment
enhancements include extract from
Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's amygdala
gland. Needless to say, the current
multiversal rate of Col. Mu'ammar
al-Qadhafi amygdala gland extract has
skyrocketed (to invoke an archaic
metaphor) in price. The last such time
Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's amygdala gland
extract was spread so thin, the 'Green Book'
was written -- an unforeseen byproduct of
subject-dysphoria iatrogenically caused by
'over-farming' (to invoke another
unfortunate archaic metaphor). However, on
the eve of final extinction of the SOURCE
of Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi amygdala gland
extract, meta-designing Ultraterrestrial
biochemists who concoct various
pharmaceutical psychoactive enhancements
for Ultraterrestrial entertainment, have
indeed hedged their bets anticipating the
highest grade quality extract yet produced.
Many in the Ultraterrestrial biochemical
community have grown tentative over all the
collateral damage inherent to such rare and
exotic farming practices, and have begun to
adopt certain non-entertaining attitudes and
disciplines undoubtedly resulting from too
much exposure to contaminants from the host
livestock, ironically referred to as 'Green
Book Corporate Shadowing.' And although
'GBCS' Ideological Infectious Disease
[GBCSIID] may seem threatening to the
entertainment enhancement industry at the
current moment, the good news is that
Col. Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi's amygdala gland
extract (and numerous others) has been
cloned, bought, corporatized and syndicated.
The early investor will see long range gains
morph into retroactive multidimensional loss
of cognitive dissonant repetition superseding
indefinite spin with a fractal quantum stop.

Why the Obama strategy may work

"Asking for Obama to stride forth with

as short sighted. The way out of a burning

for many generations. Every other way is
worse and at times catastrophic."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had a vivid dream [eleven months] ago
about Deepak Chopra. I was in some kind of
room or chapel sitting on a wooden bench amid
a row of such benches or pews. The room was
full of people likewise seated. Deepak Chopra
entered the room from a side passage, and
everyone stood up, myself included. Suddenly
it occurred to me that I was standing up for
Deepak Chopra out of respect for his 'great
spirituality', but I didn't really feel that
way at all, so I sat back down. Deepak Chopra
noticed this and came over to me placing his
hand on my back, visibly irritated, and
attempted to make me stand like the others.
I subsequently expressed my outrage with him,
telling him not to touch me, that regardless
of all his many books he is basically a
spiritual materialist, money making fraud,
and so on... His mighty ego grew visibly angry
indeed as I articulated this deep lack of respect.
Upon awakening, I was both amused and surprised
by this dream. I had recently heard a brief
radio interview with Deepak Chopra, about his
new book on Muhammad, and thought it sounded
very interesting and worth reading. I always
considered Deepak Chopra to be one of the cool
people on the planet. Perhaps I'm merely growing
weary of affect and conformity within myself,
and Deepak Chopra is simply an available icon to
cast off, archetypally speaking, or perhaps,
maybe Deepak Chopra really is an ass hole,
or, again, maybe he's just a convenient model to
hang my own 'ass holiness' upon! HAH! ... In any
event, it helps to remember the wise old cliche':
'hindsight is 20/20 vision.' However, if you have
a quantum mechanical bent toward 'back acting'
quantum wave forms collapsing a particle with a
specific history, then all bets are off! AHA!
And so it goes... take care. Your pal. eMpTy

P.S. 'Muhammad: A Story Of The Last Prophet'
by Deepak Chopra
[...]
The tale was not incredible to everyone.
Jinns roam the desert thirsting for human
souls. That was the strongest possibility.
I had my doubts, though. Jinns attack at
night, and they don't need knives to pluck
out your soul. They have dark enchantment.
Not that anyone has survived to say what
that enchantment is. I feared Muhammad
would be shunned for drawing two demons so
close to camp in broad daylight. In fact,
the opposite happened. The fact that he
had survived their attack was considered
to be a sign of stronger magic than that
of the jinns. It was decided that
Muhammad's name would be added to the
songs about our ancestors who had driven
off jinns. After that, his reputation was
made. Besides, it was obvious he hadn't
had his soul sucked out.
[...]
"Do you remember one day in the desert,
when you got lost?" I asked.
He nodded. "But I wasn't lost. I had
a feeling where I should go. Two men were
waiting for me when I got there."
I was amazed. "They attacked you, and
you never told me? After we got you home,
you wouldn't say a word."
"I couldn't. I knew you thought the
jinns had captured me."
"It had to be jinns. They left no
footprints. They were seen ripping open
your chest."
"I wondered why everyone whispered
behind my back. But it wasn't jinns.
Other beings live in the desert. You should
know that."
If it had been anyone else putting me
in my place, my nails would have been at
his face. But with him I felt a mixture of
meekness and wonder. "What kind of beings?"
I asked in a small voice.
A strange smile crossed Muhammad's
face. "I've never stopped asking that
question. You came running in such a
panic, you scared them off." He put a
finger lightly on his heart. "Don't worry.
Whatever they wanted to do, it's done."

Life of Pi

Yann Martel

[... Piscine Molitor Patel ("Pi") ... He tried to
understand God through the lens of each religion,
and came to recognize the benefits of each. ...]

I liked this novel.
It reminded me a bit of
my childhood's fascination
with world religions.

Never gave 'Islam' much thought; although,
I read once in Crowley, his commentary about
illiterate You-Know-Who's epiphany (so to
speak) resulting from long periods of isolation,
a variation on yoga and meditation, or at least
that was A.C.'s thought.

Only recently have I learned that the Koran,
spoken by 'You-Know-Who,' is really a long
tone-poem. The original Arabic is the only
way to hear the book. It is Onomatopoeia in
uttered form, hence, a great work of auditory
art, and should be regarded, in my opinion, as
a synaesthetic creation. No more, no less.
And I've been meaning to search for a DVD
or some other media or presentation of the
book that is in auditory Arabic with supertitles,
as in contemporary opera. I would like to
experience that manifestation of the crazy Arab's
epiphanous inspired utterance. Very sad, isn't it,
how one man's art becomes generations later, an
excuse to practice a vast institutionalized
rigid misogyny?! Stupid Humans:

vibrating strings but also point particles,
two dimensional membranes, three dimensional
blobs, and other objects that are more
difficult and occupy even more dimensions of
space, up to nine. These objects are called
p-branes (where p runs from zero to nine).
[...] The laws of M-theory therefore allow
for different universes with different
apparent laws, depending on how the internal
space is curled. [...] M-theory has solutions
that allow for many different internal spaces,
perhaps as many as 10^500, [a 1 with 500 zeros]
which means it allows for 10^500 different
universes, each with its own laws. [...] only

competing explanations for how it found
acceptance and examine the probabilities
of each. ... Cont...

As W.B. Yeats so prophetically wrote in
his The Second Coming:

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to a nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

It's those freakin' aliens!

They keep beaming these annoying rays at my
head that apparently upload all sorts of data for
their cross-pollination hybridization program and
exo-anthropological post-grad workshops.
Quite frankly, I've had enough, and have taken to
wearing aluminum on my head in an effort to foil
their little science projects at my expense.
Unfortunately, I was all out of Reynold's Wrap
and had to run all over the damn place looking
for a store while precariously holding a pot on
my head which I thought was aluminum, but it
turned out to be stainless steel with a teflon
coating: the worst possible thing you could
wear against these insidious space beams!

Imagine my surprise!!

Well, anyway, I won't bore you with my trivial
little metalurgical burdens; suffice to say,
I am now well stocked with aluminum foil,
(which is kind of pointless considering that
most of the data in my head has all pretty
much been sucked out already).

"For we contend not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities,
against the powers, against the world
rulers of this present darkness."
Ephesians 6:12

"Memes are like mind viruses, they swim in the ocean
we call the collective unconscious. Since all mankind is
linked at a deep mental level, then Memes or in more
religious terms, Dominions and Principalities can move
easily from consciousness to consciousness, mind to mind.
As they do so they can control groups, organizations,
businesses and of course, individuals. While we like to
think of our minds as centered and integrated if we are
critical we realize that there are many selves within us,
there are the images we have of ourselves, the images we
inherited from our parents, there are critical selves,
fun-loving selves, self effacing selves and so on. While
many of these selves are sub-personalities and aspects
of our psyche, they also feed and are fed by forces both
within and beyond the mind."

Meme: (pron. "meem") A contagious idea that
replicates like a virus, passed on from mind
to mind. Memes function the same way genes
and viruses do, propagating through
communication networks and face-to-face
contact between people --

"Memes create and mould consciousness so as to
fulfil the directive of the original DNA program.
Memes transform meaningful social movements into
bureaucracy, and take ideals and turn them into
commodities. They take transformational
technologies and turn them into mechanisms
of control. TV, Computer Games, Sport -- all
have become means to stop man really using his
mind to any spiritual end by keeping his mind
absorbed and controlled. The whole of our
culture is based on this premise, all thought
must be controlled, albeit covertly, so that
freedom is impossible. Democracy is simply the
choice between different paradigms of control.
Isms, cults and ologies offer further mechanisms
of control, which seem outside of the structure
and yet are really part of it.

Church Christianity from the very beginning
contradicted in many respects the ideas of Christ

It is by no means a new idea that Christ, if born

fills the inner-being with music, and you
know that there was no contact. You were
deceived. You were in your private vacuum,
slowly suffocating to death."

It's always just NOW...
Or as that weird Munchkin, E c k h a r t T o l l e,
likes to pontificate: "Stillness Speaks: When you lose
touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself.
When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in
the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are,
is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is
deeper than name and form. [...] Nothing that comes and
goes is you. 'I am bored.' Who knows this? 'I am angry,
sad, afraid.' Who knows this? You are the knowing,
not the condition that is known."

"If you cannot be at ease with yourself when
you are alone, you will seek a relationship to
cover up your unease.
You can be sure that the unease will then reappear
in some other form within the relationship, and
you will probably hold your partner responsible for it.
All you really need to do is accept this moment fully.
You are then at ease in the here and now and at
ease with yourself.
But do you need to have a relationship with yourself
at all? Why can't you just be yourself?
When you have a relationship with yourself, you have
split yourself into two: 'I' and 'myself,' subject
and object. That mind-created duality is the root cause
of all unnecessary complexity, of all problems and
conflict in your life. In the state of enlightenment,
you are yourself - 'you' and 'yourself' merge into one.
You do not judge yourself, you do not feel sorry for
yourself, you are not proud of yourself, you do not
love yourself, you do not hate yourself, and so on.
The split caused by self reflective consciousness
is healed, its curse removed. There is no 'self'
that you need to protect, defend, or feed anymore.
When you are enlightened, there is one relationship
that you no longer have: the relationship with yourself.
Once you have given that up, all your other relationships
will be love relationships." ::: -- Eckhart Tolle

QUOTE :
JANUARY 1971
... And then it happened. I got my wish.
Just after Christmas, a year and a half
after my mescaline disaster, I had a
"normal" acid trip. I went up, got high,
and came down Just like my fellow trippers,
Virge and a couple from the Prior Road
commune. Unlike the mescaline, which had
woven itself too well into the fabric of
my mind, the acid let me tell when it came
and what it was doing and when it went.
It was a pleasant, giggly day, and a
huge relief to me.

And then one night, after several days of
pure Eden, as I was trying to get to sleep,
marveling at the fullness of each moment,
feeling that I was living whole lifetimes
within each moment, I started listening to
and feeling my heart beat. Suddenly I became
terribly frightened that it would stop.
And from out of nowhere came an incredibly
wrinkled, iridescent face. Starting as a
small point infinitely distant, it rushed
forward, becoming infinitely huge. I could
see nothing else. My heart had stopped.
The moment stretched forever. I tried to
make the face go away but it mocked me.
I had somehow gained control over my
heartbeat but I didn't know how to use it.
I was holding my life in my hands and was
powerless to stop it from dripping through
my fingers. I tried to look the face in
the eyes and realized I had left all
familiar ground.

When I first saw the face coming toward me
I had thought, "Oh, goody." What I had in
mind was a nice reasonable conversation.
I had lots of things I wanted to talk about,
lots of questions it must have answers to.
God, Jesus, the Bible, the I Ching, mescaline,
art, music, history, evolution, physics,
mathematics. How they all fit together.
Just a nice bull session, but a bull session
with a difference. A bull session with someone
who knew. My enthusiasm was short-lived.
He, she, or whatever didn't seem much
interested in the sort of conversation I had
in mind. It also seemed not to like me much.
But the worst of it was it didn't stop coming.
It had no respect for my personal space, no
inclination to maintain a conversational distance.
When I could easily make out all its features,
when it and I were more or less on the same scale,
when I thought there was maybe a foot or two
between us, it had actually been hundreds of
miles away, and it kept coming and coming till
I was lost somewhere in some pore in its nose
and it still kept coming. I was enveloped, dwarfed.
No way to get any perspective on the thing at all,
and for all I really knew it was still light-years
away and coming and coming and coming. My own
insignificance again? Shit, I sort of wanted to
leam something new. "So you really want to go
on a trip, do you? OK, punk, now you're really
going to fly." Or words to that effect.
Not words exactly, more like thunder. : CLOSE QUOTE

The Seeker:
Chapter V. The Theater of Selves
The Master Game, by Robert S. DeRopp

The transformation of an ego-centered being to a free
being does not take place either easily or quickly.
One is converted into the other gradually, by a series
of stages, and each stage carries with it its own
dangers and difficulties. The transformation begins
when one of the selves in a man's personality (the
Seeker) develops an awareness of the state of sleep,
or, alternatively, a hunger for the fourth state of
consciousness (Baudelaire's "Taste of the Infinite").
The Seeker forms as a result of the working in man of
the will to meaning and the will to self-transcendence.
[Note: DeRopp, a biochemist, was a student of Gurdjieff,
who maintained that before awakening to his real
essence, man was not a singular entity but a
multiplicity of I's, egos, or selves.]

The Conficker Working Group
Lessons Learned Document
http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/wiki/

Starting in late 2008, and continuing through
June of 2010, a coalition of security researchers
worked to resist an Internet borne attack carried
out by malicious software known as Conficker.
This coalition became known as "The Conficker
Working Group", and seemed to be successful in a
number of ways, not the least of which was
unprecedented cooperation between organizations
and individuals around the world, in both the
public and private sectors.

In 2009, The Department of Homeland Security
funded a project to develop and produce a
"Lessons Learned" document that could serve as
a permanent record of the events surrounding
the creation and operation of the working group
so that it could be used as an exemplar upon
which similar groups in the future could build.
This is the document.

The Rendon Group conducted the research
independently, and although a number of
members of the Conficker Working Group
were interviewed, and provided information
to the authors, the report is the sole work
product of the Rendon Group. The views and
conclusions are not necessarily those of the
Conficker Working Group, or any of its official
or unofficial members. Nonetheless the Core
Committee of the Conficker Working Group
believes the report has substantial value and
is pleased to provide access to the Rendon
document via the Conficker Working Group Website.

Debt deal: anger and deceit has led the
US into a billionaires' coup

The debt deal will hurt the poorest
Americans, convinced by Fox and the
Tea Party to act against their own welfare

George Monbiot -- guardian.co.uk --
Monday 1 August 2011 16.29 EDT

<<snip>>
[...] But the Kochs' greatest political triumph
is the creation of the Tea Party movement.
Taki Oldham's film (Astro)Turf Wars shows
Tea Party organisers reporting back to
David Koch at their 2009 Defending the
Dream summit, explaining the events and
protests they've started with AFP help.
"Five years ago," he tells them, "my brother
Charles and I provided the funds to start
Americans for Prosperity. It's beyond my
wildest dreams how AFP has grown into this
enormous organisation."

AFP mobilised the anger of people who
found their conditions of life declining,
and channelled it into a campaign to make
them worse. Tea Party campaigners take to
the streets to demand less tax for
billionaires and worse health, education
and social insurance for themselves.

Are they stupid? No. They have been misled
by another instrument of corporate power:
the media. The movement has been relentlessly
promoted by Fox News, which belongs to a more
familiar billionaire. Like the Kochs,
Rupert Murdoch aims to misrepresent the
democratic choices we face, in order to
persuade us to vote against our own interests
and in favour of his.

What's taking place in Congress right
now is a kind of political coup. A handful
of billionaires have shoved a spanner into
the legislative process. Through the
candidates they have bought and the movement
that supports them, they are now breaking
and reshaping the system to serve their
interests. We knew this once, but now we've
forgotten. What hope do we have of resisting
a force we won't even see?

AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION

The only thing stranger than some of the
more "esoteric" experiences I've had is
the later attempt to talk with other
people about them. If reality didn't seem
confusing to me after my own experiences,
the "subjectivity" of it surely became
clear once I'd heard everyone else's
versions of "how things really are."

When I finally began writing this, I was
half-looking to write what I wanted to read:
a first hand, honest case study, without too
many assumptions, without defensiveness,
without a need to prove anything. An account
that would let someone objective see what
was going on with the individual and make up
their own mind. Not just a few "peak experiences,"
in the context of other collected stories that
matched, but a personal development curve.
Not just a few memories, but any accompanying
physiology and psychology symptoms as well.
Even the things that seemed to contradict the
stories. Even the confusion. Even the things
that just made it look like a mental aberration.
Everything.

Not so we can learn "a truth about gods or
aliens or [check one]," but so we can learn
a truth about people. All the strange glamor
of the esoteric experiences aside, they are
foremost a study of humanity, of individuals.
Without those individuals, there is no study
of this field possible. Whether they are
treated like liars or lunatics from the
skeptical side, or like victims or chosen
ones from the believers' side, none of those
approaches are conducive to getting unaffected,
honest data, none of them are fair to the
individual, and none provide an open
environment for learning anything new.

o0o

Meeting others with remarkably similar
stories was both a fear and a relief.
But the paradigms in this field are
overwhelming. In practice, it's not just
an experience people share, it's a religion.
Many abduction groups have what can only be
called a cult mentality, replete with
leaders and theological belief systems.
The mix with other fields, such as new
technologies (many of which may or may not
exist), 'channelers,' government involvement,
etc., makes the whole 'Ufology' subject a
chaotic minefield even for discussion,
let alone involvement.

The emotional volatility of even supposedly
objective researchers, let alone people
in the midst of these confusing and upsetting
experiences, can be almost frightening.
Even for those without the experience issues,
the logic-stretching that many folks pull off
in their attempts to make other peoples'
reality fit into their own mental-construct
is amazing.

As for me, I've found that the more honest
I am, the more it upsets people. From those
who find the sensual and sexual angles
disturbing, to those who insist I can't
mention the occult if I want to be taken
seriously, even the persons in this very
field, promoting these very stories, have
their own little box of "acceptable data"
that they want others' life and experiences
to fit in. My willingness to address
everything, from hallucinations and potential
sleep disorders and schizophrenic symptoms,
to shamanic symbols and dreams, from alien
experiences to religious icons to Egyptian
and occult symbolism -- my range of experience
only seems to make people angry. Just as they
think they have another story to add to the
list of those supporting their beliefs, I tell
of an experience they're sure contradicts (or
invalidates) myself, or them.

As I have talked about this over the last
year I have gotten email from many people
simply amazed at "how rational" I am about
all this. I admit I do seem a bit more
psychologically healthy than many I have
encountered. Though it's clear my thinking
has changed dramatically over the course of
these experiences, I consider the changes an
improvement and additional insight. I've gotten
letters from people who have spent years
terrified about their sanity, some even
drugged by psychiatrists to "cure their
symptoms," who hear me talking about some of
the same things and seeming so normal and
intelligent otherwise. They write me email
saying things like, "If you turn out to be
a hoaxer, I'm going to want to kill you."
It is no small affair, the psychological
trauma these experiences, and the attempts
to deal with them, can create.

o0o

About the only thing I can conclude after
all this time is that we don't know what's
going on, we have never known, and the only
chance we have of figuring things out is to
toss all our conclusions out the door and
begin over again, taking absolutely everything
as equal data for consideration. We are buried
by our culture before we even begin. We cannot
make intelligent decisions about what
"deserves" to be considered data, let alone
what deserves to be considered evidence.
By thinking we can, we pre-choose the answer
by pre-choosing the data. That isn't methodical
research, it's justification of existing belief
systems, and denial of anything to the contrary.

For example, in our attempt to make things
like abduction "scientifically researchable,"
we have begun with the assumption that it is
always "physical" if it's real. Western science
neatly categorizes everything into either
"fully physical" or "hallucinatory." Since it
may not be limited to one of those two polarities,
that makes it easy to find details of memory or
circumstance that are inconsistent by that measure,
and by this, invalidate the entire experience, and
the person relating it. Yet even crime witnesses
get details mixed up, and this of fully physical
experiences in "this" reality and state of mind,
when there's often no doubt the experience truly
happened. Imagine how much more trauma is involved
when you are the center of the experience, and
when the world around you is, at best, not
what you recognize.

Mind you, I'm not saying that experiences
are never physical -- they certainly are.
And despite my cynicism about modern
'abduction groups,' I would not suggest
that hypnosis "creates" all these memories:
since most people I know in this field have
never been hypnotized about it, that's
clearly not the case, despite the media
attempt to make it seem so. I'm just
pointing out that the desperate need for
"validation" our culture has taken with
study of "UFO/alien experiences,"
represented by the small number of
"leaders" in this field, has led the public
to believe these experiences are always
physical, there's usually a craft involved,
medical research is the main theme, and
experiences aren't remembered until
someone is hypnotized.

From not only my own experience, but
hundreds of people I've encountered from
all over the world the last year and talked
with about these things, I think I can say
those assumptions are simply not so. It is
harming the field and the study of this
subject to let the public be misled that
they are. If the only time people remembered
these experiences was after being hypnotized,
for example, I wouldn't believe them either!

o0o

A brief dip into the current field of
"Ufology" is itself bewildering. To the
delight of those who'd like to see this
subject fall into oblivion, many of the
existing "leaders" are far too busy
trying to bury each other to pose the
threat of accomplishing anything.
The paranoia in this field is rampant,
not just about aliens, but about the
government, and about each other.
Some reason for that may be created by
one or more of those sources, but whatever
the cause, it doesn't help the field.
The constant political jockeying as people
quickly attempt to disassociate from
someone who is getting bad press, to point
a debunking finger at someone else as
quickly as possible, or to tie their
theories or latest stories into someone
else's who is selling books or the latest
movie, would be amusing if the end result
were not affecting people's lives.

For all the theories about "contact,"
the bottom line is that it is affecting
people. In many cases, it is scaring
people. In some cases, it is hurting
people. From the personal issues of
fearing for one's sanity, to the social
issues of "coming out of the closet"
about the experiences, to the religious
issues that come into glaring relief,
to the psychological issues that are
brought out in full force by this, to
the physiological symptoms and mind-
boggling 'paranormal' side-effects,
it can be devastating, particularly
when you combine all of those effects
simultaneously. This is not improved by
wanna-be gurus who will "help you remember"
an invariably lousy experience, any more
than it is by scientists and psychologists,
our own experts and our best hope,
insisting they won't study the subject
because "they know there's nothing
to study."

If we can't be professional enough
objectively, let's at least be
compassionate enough personally to
look into what can be done to help
people deal with the effects of these
experiences, whatever their true cause.
I'd like to spend less time searching
for gods and aliens and more time
searching for ourselves. It seems to
me that in the quest for understanding
our own species, the source of our
experience may become more clear.

Excerpt: http://www.firedocs.com/bewilderness/

In my private life, barely beneath the
daily circumstance some call "objective
reality," looms a murky, ever-changing
set of worlds and half-shadows I've come
to call Bewilderness. It's my own term
for a strange something that seems to be
both "a place" and "a state of mind."

I'm not sure who--or "what"--lives there.
I may be alone, trapped in the unfamiliar
cellar of my psyche. Perhaps I'm just a
literary schizophrenic, disguised for my
own entertainment as an Otherworld.
Or maybe I'm experiencing a connection to
all life, in some grand archetypal
conglomerate of consciousness...
"Jungian Stew," I call it.

But I remember a time when reality seemed
predictable. Back then I seemed no different
than anyone else. I had a good job, hobbies,
and friends and family I felt close to.
I lived in a nice apartment in a pleasant
suburban city of well-kept lawns and tract
homes. I was comfortable and content, and
minding my own business when reality began
losing its recognizable form.

I was slow to notice the change. Every
strange experience I had, I chalked up
to either confusion or a dream, and I
came up with a long list of probable
excuses, from stress to inner ear
imbalances to sleep disorders, to explain
them. Since I believed I was 'accidentally
making all this up,' I noted that I certainly
seemed to be getting more creative, but I
had no reason to suspect anything out of
the ordinary, so I didn't. I admit, I was
far more skeptical back then. I was used to
being "logical" about everything, I truly
believed reality followed those rules, and
so any strange experiences I had, I seldom
remembered more than minutes after the event.
My belief system simply had no room for them.

"Nuit" (some call this The Abyss?)
http://www.palyne.com/me/dreamtime_0.html

The following notes actually took a few months
to fully occur. How I was able to write it out
as if it took 15 minutes or something is beyond
me! I wasn't consciously aware of all this at
the time -- only of the intense, soul shaking
trauma. This was written months later, when I
was finally able to reflect, and the follow-up
comments were from the next month or two.
I would not wish this on my worst enemy, if I
had one. I've tried to describe it, but the
result is so pitiful I apologize in advance;
truly, it's about as ineffable as an experience
can get.

It wasn't just that I wasn't the person I thought
I was. I wasn't even the human I thought I was.
I reeled in such astonishment and terror I felt
myself fall farther backward into the horror of
empty space, and I frantically grasped for what
I "was" on other levels. Other places, other planes;
other minds, other times. Not an identity crisis.
A soul crisis. I wandered a vast universe searching
for myself. People have lost their minds over less,
I heard myself thinking, as if my thoughts belonged
to someone else.

Other planets, other creatures, other wavelengths of
light for crissakes, anything, please, I begged to
the universe at large, find me...

I knew I could have fooled myself if I so chose.
There were other aspects of what I thought of as
"me" out there, somewhere. I could have crawled,
aching and terrified, into the shell of an identity,
and curled up there like a fetus, traumatized yet
relieved of this burden of yawning emptiness.

I struggled to maintain myself but the horror finally
overcame me, and bled through me, leaving me as empty
as the universe itself. This was the way it was:
I had to accept it.

A curtain appeared around me, presented in full,
an impassible void of separation that I could not
get through. Not until I accepted it, the knowledge:
I was not me. I was not human. Not until I could
integrate it, the understanding. Not until I could
become the knowledge and carry it. I was consumed by
the realization, and felt eaten alive by the fact;
I fought and lost, and knew on some distant, physical
body level, if I didn't accept this, I would feel the
effects forever echoing like a shock wave through
my sanity.

I dropped into clarity, into my "anchor" as I called
it as a child, and sought out my Will. It had to be
Will, I realized. There was no emotion. No desire.
No want. No need. No promise. No enthusiasm. No faith.
No hope. No mercy. No saving grace: all had vanished
in the emptiness. Nothing but Will, the atom of life,
the kind that plods on for no reason at all except its
own existence, when all other qualities have vanished
and left you with nothing.

Will took me through it, we became one with it,
and the curtain vanished, leaving me in a
different space.

Hard as it was to comprehend, I wasn't beyond it,
I wasn't safe: it was worse. My mortal fear transcended
to a new level. Not only was I not me. I was not anybody.
Nobody. This was so much worse. Not on earth, not
anywhere, not in other times, other dimensions, not in
the universe, not anywhere in existence.
I could quit looking, because I would never find me,
the me I had been moments before scrambling for
so desperately.

I would never find me in any identity because
there was no such thing.

I saw a concept, "identity" like a chessboard of
black and white men, black and white squares, and
I could be any of the men I chose, or the board,
or a square, or the air, or any percentage or
combination... it was totally irrelevant:
all identity is just a game: it is an arbitrary
collection of consciousness assigned a title:
it is form, which is actually not-form, it is all
actually Nothingness. Form is not the opposite of
Nothing, Form IS Nothing, Nothing is composing it...
and choosing a Form, including "identity" without
what we know as "physical mass," is a deliberate
thing; it has no meaning, independently, and I saw
that none of the options of form, including identity,
could begin to hold me, either in ability to
encompass me, or in permanence.

I struggled against it, struggled to hold myself
together, but the realization unraveled me and I
had to let go, and I felt myself burst, inside to
the outside, inverted like my own version of the
astronomical big bang, and I was no longer attached
to myself, I was splintered pieces like a ruptured
balloon, floating in the blackness, in the void.

Unanchored, we sensed the curtain, the demand
for acquiescence, for integration. Battered beyond
repair, exploded beyond reconstruction, the fragments
of my former-me acknowledged, finally, and agreed.

The curtain vanished and left us in a third realm,
and it was like a swift liquid eroding my remains.
I understood I was not just not anybody... I was
not anything, either. There was no identity and
there was no separation and there was no
human vs. objects vs. light because there was
no THING. There was No-Thing. Nothing.

And I thought after a long time that I could grasp
that, but then it became clear: this realm wasn't
like the first two. This was not just a matter of
understanding; acceptance was more. This one would
disassemble me, would disintegrate me as thoroughly
as the former stage had shattered me like a mirror:
it was not merely a threat to my survival, not about
losing one's body, not even about losing one's soul.
It was beyond that, behind that, and with grief
beyond grief I realized that even the illusion of
soul is a trick of the light.

And I finally realized that I had to die because I
had never lived. I had to give up what I was because
I was Not. Form and identity are a... distraction.
There is no Form. There is no Identity. There is
no Thing. I was Not, it all is Not.

The mortal terrors, the universe-spanning
yawning-horror of the previous two realms
suddenly seemed like simplicity, like joyous
innocence, compared to the impending
obliteration of all, of me.

I wanted to run but the concept didn't even apply.
If I have no form and there is no space, I have no
identity and there is no time, where could I go
and when? No option but acceptance: I was Not.

There was Nothing, I was Nothing, and my belief
in Something, both belief as a "thing" and Something
as a "thing," were delusions. The tenuous, vague
thing that called itself Me resisted.

Dissolving, feeling myself melting as if I were
being deconstructed and sucked into something at
the sub-atomic level, I knew I had to let go of the
"somethings," those vague illusions I was holding to,
and join Nothingness voluntarily, as a merge.
But this was not equality. I was merging into,
but not with. We were not sharing equally the
identity that resulted. We could not coexist.

And it struck me as the Absolute, and as the
fundamental creation of the universe, and as
the supreme of sorrow ... and yet home. And I
realized there was no choice: it was already
so: choice was only acceptance.

The last shred of remote me-ness let out a cry
of dying anguish, and I flung the remainder of
myself in, feeling like a still-beating heart
sacrificed to the ultimate in horror:
a solitary god who is Nothingness.

I was dead beyond death. I ceased to exist.

Speaking of...
'The Red Book' by CARL JUNG | W.W. Norton & Company
http://books.wwnorton.com/books/The-Red-Book/
and ABRAXAS...

In the Seven Sermons to the Dead, C. Jung writes,

"Abraxas is the god whom it is difficult to know.
His power is the very greatest, because man does
not perceive it at all. Man sees the supreme good
of the sun, and also the endless evil of the devil,
but Abraxas, he does not see, for he is undefinable
life itself, which is the mother of good and evil
alike...Abraxas is the sun and also the eternally
gaping abyss of emptiness, of the diminisher and
dissembler, the devil. The power of Abraxas is
two fold. You can not see it, because in your eyes
the opposition of this power seems to cancel it out.
That which is spoken by God-the-Sun is life; that
which is spoken by the Devil is death. Abraxas,
however, speaks the venerable and also accursed
word, which is life and death at once. Abraxas
generates truth and falsehood, good and evil, light
and darkness with the same word and in the same deed.
Therefore Abraxas is truly the terrible one. He is
magnificent even as the lion at the very moment when
he strikes his prey down. His beauty is like the
beauty of a spring morn."

"He is fullness, uniting itself with emptiness.
He is the sacred wedding; He is love and the murder
of love; he is the holy one and his betrayer. He is
the brightest light of day and the deepest night of
madness...All things which you beg from God-the-Sun,
generate an act of the devil. All things which you
accomplish through God-the-Sun add to the effective
might of the devil. Such is the terrible Abraxas."

ABRAXAS Ponders Final Extinction [by MT]
http://pweb.netcom.com/~mthorn/crystala.htm

[ WARNING: The Following is The Oldest Gag
in the Cosmic Joke Book. ]

The Gods are Out Of Control...
God is OUT OF CONTROL...
always has been, and always will be.

He, She, and non-gender-specific, It, are Us,
and We are Them. God: Zeus, The Great Spirit,
Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Satan, Krishna, Kali,
Shiva, Paranirvana, the Undifferentiated Void,
Ormazd, etc., etc., (whatever you want to call
Them), It, She, or He, shall be - for these
purposes henceforth - referred to with the
convenient title of: Abraxas. [ "The bird fights
its way out of the egg. The egg is the world.
Who would be born must first destroy a world.
The bird flies to God. That God's name
is Abraxas." -- Hermann Hesse, Demian ]

For 13,000,000,000 to 14,000,000,000 years,
this particular time-and-space universe has been
inflating from a virtual point to its current,
unrelenting, expansive proportions. To believe
that this specific 13 to 14 billion year old
phenomenon (a mere eye-blink) comprises the entire
length, width and breadth of all that ever was,
is, and shall be is probably an excruciatingly
naive belief indeed. But then, Abraxas is nothing
if not the greatest master of imaginal naivete'
in existence!

To reiterate: Abraxas is way out of control.
Abraxas is every living, single facet of an
eternally manifesting phenomena of endless
existences, which are redundantly out of control.
Abraxas [God(s)], all of us, are an unfathomable,
diverse, equal and unified myriad expression of ONE.
We are it, it is us - I am is you are - and vice
versa. Around and around we go, forgetting who we
are: He, She, It, eternally traumatized by the
simple fact that all there was, is, and ever can
be (Abraxas) is imperfect, unstable, and
fundamentally unforgiving of its own flawed
nature -- to itself -- so much so that Abraxas must
continually manifest, hurling outward in myriad forms,
looking for answers which never suffice, not willing,
or able, to stop the dance or undo that which has
been done for an eternity of eternities!
You, Abraxas, are totally screwed, hiding from
yourself, ad infinitum, in all these changing forms
and recycled beings. Who are you kidding? Hah!

Poor Abraxas, an untold aeon of aeons, passing
through myriad inflationary universes, playing the
role of every conceivable entity; performing an
unbelievable range of foolish-brilliant actions,
experimenting with every choice and combination,
recognizing, over and over again, that there aren't
any shortcuts to nonexistent, final goals... Abraxas,
Abraxas, Abraxas, you unrelentingly stupid, insane,
delusional spinner of multifaceted mirrors!

ABRAXAS Ponders Final Extinction?!

Oh Sure! Dream on Abraxas...

All you can do is plant a few seed-like irritants
here and there, wait for an infinite number of
eternities to unfold, then see if any Final-Extinction
Pearls have grown in your black-shelled worlds of
illuminated consciousness.

What then?!

Figure out a way to string them together?

Do you hope to encompass your entirety with
such an anticlimactic, random uncertainty
as Final Extinction?

Dream on Abraxas, dream on...

In these cyclic eternities that you have fashioned
and are inextricably bound by: one course of action
(or inaction) may be as good as another, but Final
Extinction is still final after all.

Isn't it?

[Prescott Sheldon Bush]

[...] If the "Galactic Maya" had space-time-tripped
to Earth from Hunab Ku, The Galactic Center, this
did not happen through cumbersome rockets, but
through "harmonic resonance," patterns of genetic
information intentionally transmitted from star to
star, encoded in light -- a "wave-harmonic means of
transmission, communication, and passing from one
condition of being to another." The "so-called sun
worship" of the Maya and ancient Egypt was actually
"the recognition and acknowledgement that higher
knowledge and wisdom is literally being transmitted
through the Sun, or more precisely, through the
cycles of the binary sunspot movements." [...]

THE MYSTIQUE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

My Favorite Martians
A UFO Epistomology
by Erik Davis
http://www.techgnosis.com/martians.html
[Originally published in the
Voice Literary Supplement, February 1993]

[Excerpt]:

... UFO literature, by drawing curious readers
into bizarre worldviews shored up with the language
of evidence, shows how our attitudes toward
information structure our reality and identity.
Even if the UFO is bunk, it has become modernity's
great mythic mirror. The first "flying saucers"
were sighted in 1947 by Kenneth Arnold, in the year
that gave us the CIA and information theory, in the
decade that gave us TV, the Bomb, digital computers,
and LSD. The UFO is part of a package deal--a rumor
of god stitched into the dark web of our
military-industrial-media complex.

Though habitually keeping a low profile, the
visitors have been pretty busy since '47.
The UFO and its trickster crew have crash-landed,
pulled fly-bys, delivered messages of doom and
gnostic salvation, sucked bovine blood, conspired
with the Air Force, stolen embryos from Middle
American housewives, fucked Brazilian farmers silly,
and rammed anal probes into horror fiction writers.
But though millions believe, and many more are
cautiously credulous, the aliens remain beyond
reach, in a netherworld of bad films, paperbacks,
and late-night testimonies. Sightings haven't
really made news since the '70s and, though
Whitley Streiber's 1987 Communion ruled the
charts, the UFO seems almost quaint in our
cyberpunk world, a cosmic VW bug in the weedy
back yard of modernity.

But the UFO has not waned so much as gone within,
into the body, into the mind, into the dream of
identity. Thousands of abductees, seeking to
ease the psychic trauma of being dragged onto
spaceships and physically abused by aliens, have
solidified a sub-culture that's far more 12 Step
than Star Trek. Conspiracy theorists weave UFOs
into their insidious webs of government plots,
while channeled ET info has evolved into the
New Age's most speculative edge. And after years
of cranky pursuits for the "nuts and bolts" that
will prove the existence of material
extraterrestrial spacecraft, some ufologists
are turning towards a subtler engagement of the
alien as radical mythic enigma. [...] Erik Davis
