Cognitive dissonant de/reflections on

Remember when we used to exclusively swim
around (under that demarcation plane where
water met sky), before any of our fellow
self-replicating autonomous bits of goo
figured out that the inhospitable realm
of dry land above not only offered a
strangely attractive hazard, but provided
a viable new way of life for a growing

Remember that? Well, the current emerging
symbiosis betwixt sentience and machine
reminds me a little of that extraordinary

presently descended... and thriving.
The advent of an AI-Human Interface is no
less astonishing in its unpredictability
to the course of this earthly biosphere's
development of consciousness.
Is anything really artificial?
Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Awareness?
Artificial Cognition?
Artificial Consciousness?
At some critical point in the next few
minutes of this world's long history,
an imperative will develop for a standardized
conformity which will permit a smoother
transition for hybridized-cybernetic-humanity
to fully manifest.
Will that standard of utilitarian conformity
end the short reign of individuality? Or was
individuality an illusion all along? Perhaps
individuality was a temporary necessity for
biology to transcend the violent chaos of a
predatory environment, thus ensuring the
eventual flowering of a sturdier, nano-
engineered infrastructure which will
survive solar inflation and planet-death?
Hence... a means to an end?
I am perplexed!
For an awareness to be aware of itself at this
threshold in history with this kind of imminent
transition (regardless of its multigenerational
time-frame) does seem a bit taxing to the
spirit, yes? No? Perhaps...
What to do?
For me, nothing.
I will not assist.
I will not resist.
I will not thwart.

Welcome to the future: Scientists can now

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

NOVA: 'Smartest Machine on Earth'

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

human competitors Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. [...]

...And now a Wyrd(sic) Prophecy:
Carbon Based Lifeforms are erratic,

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

consciousness synergizes throughout
the universe, it will declare itself

new universe creation, until, that is, it

Justice Department Memo: al-Awlaki Assassination Legal
10/1/11 at 1:47 PM [New York Magazine]
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/10/justice_department_memo_suppor.html
Justice Department Memo: al-Awlaki Assassination Legal
It didn't take long after a U.S. drone killed Al Qaeda
propagandist and Internet preacher Anwar al-Awlaki yesterday
for civil liberties advocates and administration critics to
come out of the woodwork lambasting the seemingly routine
use of targeted assassinations in the war on terror.
This case has attracted particular attention because Awlaki
was a U.S. citizen, at one time spending several years in
San Diego pursuing graduate studies and, it seems, getting
picked up by the police while soliciting prostitutes.
As for the Obama administration's policy, it will get a
second dose of scrutiny now that the Washington Post has
revealed the existence of a secret Justice Department memo
authorizing the assassination and dismissing Awlaki's Fifth
Amendment rights to legal protection. As one administration
official put it: "What constitutes due process in this case
is a due process in war."

Cantor Aide Leaving To Form Super PAC
[ Jon Terbush | Oct. 5, 2011 ]
A top staffer to House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor is leaving his post to launch a
super PAC aimed at raising the national
profiles of like-minded, young conservatives.
According to the National Journal,
"John Murray" <
john....@mail.house.gov>,
Cantor's deputy chief of staff, will soon leave
Capitol Hill to begin raising money for a
"Young Guns" super PAC; Murray later told
Politico that he will leave at the end of
the week. The PAC's name comes from the label
Cantor and fellow GOPers Paul Ryan (R-WI) and
Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) adopted to describe their
brand of conservatism that, in the wake of the
spend-happy Bush years, sought to return to
traditional fiscal conservative policies.
In raising huge sums of cash, the PAC would
be able to effectively boost legislators onto
the national scene. In the case of Cantor,
who has become a major thorn in President
Obama's side by marshaling strong GOP
opposition to Democratic bills in the House,
it could be used as a springboard to
higher office.
Some conservatives have floated Cantor as
a possible late entrant into the 2012
presidential race, though its doubtful he
will join the fray so late in the season.
However, with a fundraising machine behind
him and a heightened national profile, he
could latch on to the number two slot with
the eventual nominee.

[...] In 'The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation
of Consciousness,' the Swedish biologist Carl Johan
Calleman, a cancer specialist and former adviser for
the World Health Organization, raised the discourse
on the ancient time-science of the Maya to a new
plateau. According to Calleman's thesis, the nine
levels of the most important Mayan pyramids -- the
Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, the Pyramid
of the Jaguar in Tikal, and the Pyramid of Kukulcan
(Quetzalcoatl) in Chichen Itza -- represent a model
of time, from the origin of the universe to the
upcoming phase-shift, in which each step, or
"Underworld," is twenty times more accelerated in
linear time than the one preceding it.
"The nine-story Mayan pyramids are thus telling
us that consciousness is created in a hierarchical
way and that each Underworld stands on the foundation
of another," writes Calleman. The initial level,
starting thirteen hablatuns or 16.4 billion years
ago, proceeds from the inception of matter in the
"Big Bang," through the development of cellular life
on Earth. During the second step, beginning thirteen
alautuns, or 820 million years ago, animal life
evolved out of cells. The third underworld, starting
thirteen kinchiltuns or 41 million years ago, saw the
evolution of primates and the first, rudimentary use
of tools by human ancestors. During the fourth
underworld, beginning thirteen kalabtuns or 2 million
years ago, tribal organization began among the
ancestors of Homo sapiens. During the next underworld,
starting thirteen piktuns or 102,000 years ago,
Homo sapiens emerged, developing spoken language.
The sixth underworld comprises the Great Cycle of
thirteen baktuns, beginning 5,125 years before the
approaching birth date, when we created patriarchal
civilization, law, and written language -- Calleman
calls this the National Underworld. The seventh
step, dubbed the Planetary Underworld, thirteen
katuns or 256 years, beginning in AD 1755, introduced
industrialization, electricity, technology, modern
democracy, gene splicing, and the atom bomb. Our
knowledge became Faustian power over the physical
world. The eighth level -- the Galactic Underworld --
thirteen tuns or 12.8 years, began in 1999, with the
development of the Internet into a global
communications infrastructure. The final step,
thirteen uinals or 260 days, will lead, Calleman
believes, to the attainment of "nondual cosmic
consciousness" across the earth. By the end of
this Universal Underworld, humanity will have crossed
the threshold of the abyss, confronting the shadow
projections of the Apocalypse, to become conscious
cocreators of reality.
Each step on the pyramid "corresponds to a
certain frequency of consciousness," in which
evolution operates twenty times faster than the
previous phase. According to Calleman's thesis,
"In the Galactic Underworld, as much change must
happen in a tun (360 days) as happened in a katun
(19.7 years) during the Planetary Underworld, or in
a baktun (394 years) of the National Underworld."
Perhaps for this reason, the twenty-year "Generation
Gap" of the previous era no longer seems applicable
to our situation, which requires increasing
flexibility and adaptability to navigate.
Institutional structures formed over the last 250
years of the Planetary Underworld, from the nuclear
family to the nation-state, seem to be losing their
stability as we go deeper into the Galactic
Underworld. At the same time, scientific
breakthroughs proliferate, as we receive increasingly
accurate data about the universe in which we are
embedded. Calleman believes that understanding the
spiral dynamics of evolution expressed through the
Mayan calendar is, in itself, an aspect of the
Divine Plan: "Taking responsibility as a cocreator
with God presupposes a basic understanding of how
creation works."
Confusingly, Calleman's interpretation
of the Mayan calendar puts the crescendo of
all human history back a year -- even more
breathtakingly close to our dangerously
fragmented present tense.
According to his thesis, based on his own
interpretation of the sacred calendar's
energetic shifts, global humanity will attain
nondualistic enlightened consciousness by the
end of October 2011. "It will simply not be
possible not to be enlightened after October
28, 2011,' he confidently asserts, "or at
least from a certain time afterward when the
new reality has definitely manifested."
The final year of the calendar will be used,
he conjectures, for celebrating and adjusting
to our new circumstances of unlimited bliss
and creative freedom.
In the thirty years since the publication
of the McKenna brothers' book, 'The Invisible
Landscape,' a new outsider paradigm has
crystallized, in which time reveals, in
McKenna's words, "a built-in spiral
structure." From this perspective, "2012"
represents reconciliation as well as reversal.
At that near-point in our future, science will
reintegrate with aboriginal wisdom, rights
will meet lefts, the carapace of modern
technology will crumble as new support systems
self-organize, causing a momentous polar shift
in human thought and human values -- from
alienation to integration, from deformed and
spatialized time to synchronic harmony, from
either patriarchal or matriarchal dominance to
true partnership, from ego-based delusions to
global telepathy. As a dialectic synthesis of
Eastern enlightenment and Western curiosity,
the Maya--voyagers over obsidian oceans of
time -- depart the dusty dioramas of the past
to await us up ahead, in the state of being
called "time-freedom" by Jean Gebser; a new
world reality that would be, as Gebser slyly
suggested, also a new world unreality.
According to Calleman's study of the Mayan
system, within each of the nine underworlds,
there are cyclic pulsations of light and dark
energies, which he calls "Days" and "Nights."
Whether 16 billion years or 260 days long, each
underworld contains a pattern of seven days and
six nights, a partition into thirteen stages,
each stage represented by a different Mayan
deity. With its Seven Days of Creation,
Calleman's reading of the Mayan calendar neatly
enfolds the Judeo-Christian creation myth
presented in Genesis. He argues that the energy
shifts that manifest within each cycle become
predictable, once the entire pattern is
understood. According to Calleman, the crucial
forward step in the evolution of consciousness
takes place during the "Fifth Day" of each
underworld, ruled by the energy of Quetzalcoatl.
The previous form of consciousness asserts itself
through final acts of destruction during the
Fifth Night that follows, ruled by the energy of
Tezcatlipoca. The 256-year cycle of thirteen
katuns that began with the Industrial Revolution,
which Calleman dubs the Planetary Underworld,
reached its darkest point during the Fifth Night
of 1932 to 1952, the period of Nazism, the Second
World War, the Holocaust, and the dropping of the
atomic bombs on Japanese cities (in the 5,125-
year National Cycle that preceded it, the Fifth
Night, AD 434 to 829, corresponded to the collapse
of the Roman Empire). The cycle of thirteen tuns
that began in November 1999 will, likewise, reach
its midnight hour, its involuntary crescendo,
during the year 2008. Interestingly, various
studies on the immanent peak oil crisis point to
2008 as the year when resources of energy, food,
and water will become critically stressed.
Calleman proposes that this period could
see a global financial and ecological collapse,
accompanied by nightmarish misuses of power on
the part of the ruling elite. "In Night Five,
ruled by Tezcatlipoca, the lord of darkness...
we will see the last desperate and at the same
time most forceful, attempt to secure control
by the forces seeking to maintain dominance."
Such an interregnum could also provide the
opportunity to circulate a new vision of what
this world could be, and disseminate the tools
and principals to implement it.
Right now, we are being forced to witness
the shadow of the psyche projected into
material form through systemic misuse of
technology, biospheric destruction, and corrupt
geopolitics based on entrenched egotism and
greed. As predicted by McKenna, Arguelles, and
Calleman, time itself seems to be changing form,
accelerating and intensifying, as events follow
each other at breakneck pace. A cynical or
nihilistic perspective on the imminent fate of
our species is, of course, plausible, but
unproductive. In fact, if consciousness is
intertwined with physical reality, then a
nihilistic perspective actively helps to bring
a nihilistic result into manifestation.
The alternate hypothesis of this book sees the
destruction of the biosphere and the development
of technology as by-products, nondual and
integral aspects, of our psycho-spiritual
evolution. If the shadows appear to be growing
darker, it is because the light that casts them
is getting brighter.
Clearly, the shift to a higher form of
consciousness could not happen passively.
The transformation of consciousness requires
not only personal work, but direct and
surgically precise engagement with ecological,
political, psychological, commercial,
technological, and spiritual aspects of
reality -- as Nietzche noted, the deed creates
the doer, "as an afterthought."
It is inconceivable that a movement to a state
of higher consciousness could take place in a
subconscious murk. Such a shift could take place
in only one way: in the full light of
consciousness. To accomplish this would require
the complete engagement of our will and our
higher cognitive faculties. We would have to
decondition ourselves from negative programming,
overcoming distractions and self-justifications
and egocentric goals -- to "abandon abandonment"
and "escape escapism," as I was once told in a
dream -- in order to act for the greater good.
At the moment, it is unclear how much sacrifice
will be necessary. As futurist thinker Barbara
Marx Hubbard writes in her book, Conscious
Evolution:
'If the positive innovations connect
exponentially before the massive
breakdowns reinforce one another, the
system can repattern itself to a higher
order of consciousness and freedom
without the predicted economic,
environmental, or social collapse....
If the system could go either way, a
slight intervention to assist the
convergence of the positive can tip
the scales of evolution in favor of
the enhancement of life on Earth.'
If our current civilization were to
disintegrate -- a possibility that should not
seem outlandish, considering the New Orleans
flood, peak oil theories, and numerous
ecological factors -- we might face an
apocalyptic passage, forcing us to evolve at
high speed. Breakdown and breakthrough may
happen simultaneously. [...] Pgs. 240-244;

Paul Krugman on European Leaders' Historical Memory
http://spitfirelist.com/news/paul-krugman-on-european-leaders-historical-memory
Dave Emory - September 26, 2011
[...]
COMMENT: New York Times columnist and
Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman
weighs in on the thinking of European
political leaders. (Perhaps one could say
German political leadership, in that they
seem to be calling this particular tune.)
Noting that the austerity programs being
prescribed for Eurozone economies in trouble
are being linked to memory of the German
inflation of the 1920's, Krugman notes that
the current policies of German and European
leaders mimic those of German Chancellor
Heinrich Bruning.
One might note in this context that those
same austerity programs are being advocated
by the GOP and American right wing!
"Euro Zone Death Trip" by Paul Krugman;
The New York Times; 9/26/2011.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/opinion/euro-zone-death-trip.html
EXCERPT: . . . . And I see no
sign at all that European policy
elites are ready to rethink their
hard-money-and-austerity dogma.
Part of the problem may be that those policy
elites have a selective historical memory.
They love to talk about the German inflation
of the early 1920s -- a story that, as it
happens, has no bearing on our current situation.
Yet they almost never talk about a much more
relevant example: the policies of Heinrich Bruning,
Germany's chancellor from 1930 to 1932, whose
insistence on balancing budgets and preserving
the gold standard made the Great Depression even
worse in Germany than in the rest of
Europe -- setting the stage for you-know-what. . . .

"All that Glitters is Not . . ." Oh, Never Mind!
Dave Emory - September 23, 2011
http://spitfirelist.com/news/all-that-glitters-is-not-oh-never-mind/
[...]
EXCERPT: China is shifting some of
its massive foreign holdings into gold
and away from the US dollar, undermining
the dollar's role as the world's reserve
currency, accoding to a recently released
WikiLeaks cable.
"They [the US and Europe] intend to weaken
gold's function as an international reserve
currency. They don't want to see other
countries turning to gold reserves instead
of the US dollar or Euro," stated the 2009
cable, quoting Chinese Radio International.
"China's increased gold reserves will thus
act as a model and lead other countries
towards reserving more gold."
The cable is titled "China increases its
gold reserves in order to kill two birds
with one stone". Taken together with recent
policy announcements from Chinese banking
officials, it may signal moves by China to
eventually replace the US dollar as the
world's reserve currency.
Last week, European business officials
announced that China plans to make its
currency, the yuan, fully convertible
for trading on international markets
by 2015. Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of
China's central bank, said the offshore
market for the yuan is "developing faster
than we had imagined" but there is no
definitive timetable for making the
currency fully convertible. Presently,
the yuan cannot be easily converted into
other currencies, because of government
restrictions. . . .
. . .In March 2011, China held $3.04tn US
dollars in reserves, Xinhua news agenecy
reported. It is the largest holder of US
treasuries, or government debt, with
$1.166tn as of June 30, 2011, according
to the San Francisco Chronicle. Thus, major
devaluation of the dollar would hurt China,
as it would be left holding wads of
worthless paper.
"If you owe the bank $100, that's your
problem. If you owe the bank $100m,
that's the bank's problem," American
industrialist Jean Paul Getty once remarked,
in a parable that sums up China's predicament.
"China is locked into a position where they
cannot sell a big portion of their dollar
reserves overnight without hurting themselves,"
Aizenman said. "It is too late for now to
diversify rapidly the stock they have already
accumulated."
The answer: Buy gold. Everyone seems to be doing it.
The value of the glistening commodity, useless for
most practical purposes, increased almost 400 per
cent, from less than $500 an ounce in 2005 to about
$1,900 in September.
"Gold has risen in value because of uncertainty
in the world economy," said Mark Weisbrot, the
co-director of the Centre for Economic and
Policy Research, a think-tank in Washington.
"Normally, gold would rise due to high inflation.
It is a store of value that increases if there is
inflation. But in this case it is going up because
nobody knows where else to put their money."
In the WikiLeaks cable, China alleged that
"the US and Europe have always suppressed
the rising price of gold", but neither Weisbrot
or Aizenman think such a policy is taking place
or even possible. . . .

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, f...ed Brazilian farmers
silly, and rammed ... 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

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

[...] 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?

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 eMpTy]

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?

Continuing ye olde 'METAPHOR' meme...
[ Mark Vonnegut ]
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

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:

Pinchbeck's aforementioned interesting
'2012' book... An excerpt:
_________________________________________
[...] ...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. [...]

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
challenge that animals, that we as humans
and the brain in general faces, it is the
unknown of the future. And in REM, we may
have the opportunity to step into that
future world with no risk, because the
consequences are simply things don't work
out as you might have expected, and then
you wake up. So these states may be what
are essential for allowing us, as
individuals, to reach our maximal level
of potential.

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.]

way beyond the lake Moeris and near the place called
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.

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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."

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:

[...] Also, M-theory can contain not just
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

NOTHING is True, Everything is Permitted:

Hassan-i Sabbah by Brian D. Hodges
According to legend, the master of the
Order of Assassins uttered the famous
phrase "nothing is true, everything is
permitted" on his deathbed prior to his
soul departing for Hell. This axiom has
made its way into a number of historical
accounts regarding Sabbah and the Nizari
Isma'ilis. As with so much of the lore
surrounding the "order", it is likely
that this quote is no more true than most
of the other legends circulated by Western
historians, medievalists, anarchists and
occultists. It is worth looking into three
competing explanations for how it found
acceptance and examine the probabilities
of each. ... Cont...

Diagnostic Features:
'Narcissistic personality disorder is a condition
characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance,
need for admiration, extreme self-involvement, and
lack of empathy for others. Individuals with this
disorder are usually arrogantly self-assured and
confident. They expect to be noticed as superior.
Many highly successful individuals might be considered
narcissistic. However, this disorder is only diagnosed
when these behaviors become persistent and very
disabling or distressing.' ... ]

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,

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

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,

(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

against the powers, against the world

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.

"Historically the chief role in the formation of
Christianity was played not by the teaching of

Church Christianity from the very beginning
contradicted in many respects the ideas of Christ
himself. Later, the divergence became still wider.
It is by no means a new idea that Christ, if born
on earth later, not only could not be the head of
the Christian Church, but probably would not be
able even to belong to it, and in the most brilliant
periods of the might and power of the Church
would most certainly have been declared a heretic

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
