n order to have it, you have to define it. but rather than define it so that we can then work to obtain it, lets talk about what it isn't.
Free speech is not a pack of TROLLS and their ALTS determining that the geeks can't have a conversation by always trolling them down, trashing their threads, hijacking threads, being abusive, using slander and personal defamation, manipulation and headgames, and everything else to shut you or anybody that might have thought of talking to you up or out.
Free speech is not the same 25 personalities forming a troll clique and then systematically destroying/ consuming one tribe after another
and reveling the glory of their evil super powers.
Free speech is not a brainstorm tribe where bothering to post much beyond a one liner idea puts you in the firing gallery,
and free speech is not an obvious patent sociopath beating people up psychologically who runs how conveniently the management/user interface aspect of tribe.
Free speech is not a cult of asshats, keeping everybody else from communicating, nor is it a cult of control freaks, keeping everybody else
from communicating.
To hear the TROLLZ tell it, free speech means that they should by definition get to say whatever they want and thats that.
They should be able to libel, stalk, harass, defame, abuse, use abusive language, mock, and use logical fallacies and propaganda
to beat you down; not with sense, nor reason, nor as shatter would have us believe with his utterly shallow and insipid imitation of
"compassion."
But with mere noise, nonsense, and mockery.
Thats the troll idea. and most social networks and most twentieth century institutions have bought this, hook line and sinker.
They figure anything else is either too governmental or too complicated, and nobody really knows how to represent a rules based system
that would protect real free speech, let alone implement one in a program, .... so nobody bothers.
Erstwhile, civilization goes to hell in a handbasket as does tribe and most everything else because geeks of the true variety are outnumbered 100 to one by evil bastards, and 1000 to one by pack psychology sleepwalkers.
Pearls and swine, pearls and swine, flushing it all down as we go and its all trod under and gone....
the conversations we pretended to have, while trollz spewed the place with the shit guaranteed to cover over and thus functionally erase any gems.
What then is free speech? free speech is the simple proposition that people should be able to say what they want; AS WELL AS HAVE THE KIND OF CONVERSATION THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. Otherwise, all any of you are doing is going and talking to an empty forest,
and the most of the lot of you thus wouldn't pass a good turing test.
Free speech is not me trying to talk about things and then people attacking me for trying to talk. it is not about shatters egotism or his utter
ignorance or his headgame vampire parasite head trip.
It is not Mr M freaking out and having a cow on my thread and then later admitting that he was there simply to silence me and anybody else
i might try to talk with.
It is not skooter, who, tho his intentions are much better, lives in that environment and who thus has become a bit too gun happy,
spritzing you with bullets that make no sense.
Free speech is when the geeks can have their geek conversations and the trolls can have their conversations.
Not when the trolls can pre-empt any geek conversation, and not when geeks pre-emptively demand that trollz always behave.
To hear the trollz tell it society is in mortal danger from the geeks imposing some sort of fascistic moderation scheme.
This is a total reversal and doublethink and projection. The truth is that these people are actively engaged in social warfare
for ego purposes, and they are thus social parasites who want an easy slaughter of fresh innocents.
The truth is that its the geeks who for the love of god cannot find one damn good intellectual conversation on all of tribe...
or for that matter, one good intellectual.
Free speech is not catering to trollz and letting them drive anybody else away, and it is not listening to the idea of free speech contorted into
a weapon against itself and believing in that as a dogmatic delusion.
Free speech is for the most part nowhere to be found in your civilization. everybody talks but nobody listens. Most people don;t have anything worth listening too anyways, and it forms a circular habit. As parrot chatter affirming the existence of ego and social identity,
thats great. but tribe has a 99th percentile tribe thats obviously been infiltrated by the same old crew of tribe trolls all with IQs under 120.
Its got a tou watchdog tribe that is now renamed tou corndog. I'm sure thats a comic relief.
Everywhere you look on tribe its the same thing. every major conversation space on tribe is shit because there is so little moderation and
so few people left with any intelligence.
One only has to look around a lot more to see interesting differences. Go to some chat zone site where your only allowed a one sentence contribution at once. stay on it for three days straight and then come back and tell me it has any meaning compared to a full conversation
with things like paragraphs.
It works great for children, the socially inept, or people with IQs under 90. For the rest of us, theres too little bandwidth.
TROLLZ and anti free speech are the same thing. its bandwidth control, and it drives everything stupid. This suits trolls fine because the reason why they are the way they are in the first place is that they are only able to think in terms of competition with a population that they
more or less consciously or subconsciously know is composed of their intellectual superiors. All TROLLZ are overcompensators for
their lack of social skills and their lack of intelligence.
And tribe buys it. And tribe expects anybody other than TROLLZ and sheeple to stick around.
"You are free to make your own tribe."?
And do what with it exactly?
Spend thousands of hours competing with troll tribes to lure sheeple back to my tribe?
Participate myself in the scam of it all and actually go find intellectuals to bring as fresh meat to TRIBES
canned troll food factory?

yes.
:)
-----------
are you actually talking
---------
yes, i am actually talking. events of recent have made me reanalyze my relationship with tribe and all i find is disease and wasted
time.
I think theres a point to be made there... technically in most respects tribe lost me as a user a long time ago.
-------------
or manifesting a surging tide of existential discontent within yourself,
-------------
yes, thats there fer sure. i keep coming back to this tribe and trying to work things out with TRIBE and etc...
and what do i get for it? a lot and a lot of thank yous from people who are literally too scared shitless to come in here and post.
and shit from the same old people who make those people too shitless to come in here and post.
-------------
culminating in some unexpurgated tidal wave of blah on the internet that really only ultimately reflects the same things you are railing against?
------------
Reality is funny like that. to carry communication across when all else fails, sometimes joining them to beat them is the only method thats
got a chance.
I find the whole thing disasterously distasteful and i am sure anybody else probably does 2.
But facts are facts, and so we arrive back at square one.
TRIBE is one of the internets worst trollahattens, and a primary reason why is that the old staff were trolls, these people didn't and now don't have much for communication skills, and blaming the victims and denying culpability is just that easy, whereas talking about or resolving the problems is just that hard.
TRibe nearly fell down the last time because the staff broke into three warring parties. And then you have pinkus VS darren.
You'd think we cold learn the lesson without repeating history.
Just because tribe CAN let anything go doesn't mean it should, and abusers and head gamers should be dealt with fairly
by dealing with the shit they raise - not deleting profiles.
Having a PET TROLL in the management -user liason position aka Shatter does what to the system?
in auto inserts abuse and troll shit as the communication style into all of the tribe tribes, which then sends the signal all through tribe
of how low the standards really are.
I shouldn't need to point out that this guy is a chronic habitual liar, that he exists in this room primarily to get his ego kicks off shooting
people down(and making sure all anti troll measures are defeated.) And that hes said things which would technically make him and tribe suitable for libel... almost on a daily basis.
Yeah, i think we should talk about it rather than sweep it under the carpet, and on top of that, if tribe can't face this problem here and now,
then it never will, and any promises it may have made to me become moot as carrots attached to fairy tales.
Either it matters to TRIBE, or it doesn't. If it DOES, then lets deal with it rather than pretending its not an issue so we don't have to.
If it doesn't, then my job is to cram it down tribes throat how much they suck until they finally use their moderator tools on me exactly in
contradiction to their own pre-stated moderation terms.
Or leave tribe, period.
Leaving tribe period isn't that bad of an idea.
of course, fixing it is a much better idea.

i agree, my point exactly.
Today, 11:22 AM
The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created-created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.

It seems to me that you negate your point and efforts by engaging in a similar or identical MO as those dumbass cliques you're speaking about. I know it's difficult to be heard above the din of dumbasses.
Perhaps the difference is that you appear to care, and they effectively don't, or don't take it in as personal ( and perhaps as obsessive) manner as yourself.

Re: holy spam-floodfest moderator
Today, 9:48 AM
so why are you only against free speech when i'm the one talking?
Here are the problems I see and here is how i see fixing them.
Problems;
1. Theres not enough information out there thats good.
2. Obama (or etc Nader, Kucinich, personality X) is just as susceptible to bad information as anybody else is until he gets his own education.
3. Trillions of Dollars are spent and Trillions more are wasted (every year) keeping the population spoonfed propaganda and thus dumbed down.
4. Our problems are too large and too complicated for any one person to solve- Even me, and I have been working on it more sincerely and with more
God given skills for it than any presidential candidate.
5. Washington is full of lobbyists and voices who are all clamoring to be heard. They are selling all of them trash ideas, non solutions, and crap, which gets
them money in the short run by screwing the masses.
6. Each and every single one of our problem areas can be traced back as a whole problem to the intervention and corruption of Corporations.
Our civil rights, The energy problem, the Environment, government ethics, economics, homeland security, etc... each of these issues right now has a core contributing root which is that big money likes these problems because these problems make big money. Immigration, social security meltdown, privatized healthcare, the push to privatize education... The repugnicon method is to divide and conquer and then treat the wounds as eco niches, and move in.
7. The repugnicon method is to divide and conquer, utilizing propaganda and corporate power leveraged against the citizenry. Republicanism is by definition
a parasitic agreement between luxocrats and ignorant and uneducated dupes.
8. Politicians with law degrees are trained to make good arguments. Not solve problems. A law degree is not a degree in Sociology, Civil Engineering, Education Reform, Medicine, Energy Science, Physics, Agriculture, or etc. Lawyers with presidential campaigns don't have the knowledge base required to
solve these complicated problems. Thus; ONLY a SOCIAL MOVEMENT can bring about REAL CHANGE.
Solutions;
1. Build an open source think tank in order to actually work on overcoming the problems.
2. Utilize formal logic, reason, and science fact, to work on a scientific problem solving process.
3. Utilize group intelligence in order to actually create problem solving process and then real solutions.
4. Realize that it actually only takes a very small number people that are truly focused to come up with the real solutions.
5. Understanding this, realize that theoretically, 100 people working 40 hours each could probably solve the problems
better than both or either parties plus ralph Nader Combined.
6. Understand that these solutions, unlike presidential platforms, would be constantly evolving and growing in sophistication
as more people and more information and more ideas were added.
7. realize that bad ideas would thus actually be filtered out.
8. Given that 1-7 are so, what will be required in order to have an informational revolution is 100 persons or so, to do the original work load.
9. Once that is done, an additional 5 hours per participant in order to advertise, plus a 100 dollar investment to advertise in the local newspapers, etc,
will create a viral and geometrically increasing social movement, which will become, rapidly, and unstopable wave form.
10. Understand that when the energy peaks, Thousands or millions of particpants will become involved, and that instead of mob intelligence which
grounds mob thinking in stupid, the new rules of this form of communication will create a situation where mass intelligence brings intelligence into phase
and into harmony, thus creating a group IQ which is dozens of times smarter than any one single participant.
11. This will be the smartest and most powerful think tank ever created; A neurological net combined with the internet to create a new virtual organism;
A collective mind of WE THE PEOPLE.
12. The way to do this rests in the fundamentals of formal conversational logic itself. The rules by which such a group mind must operate are inconvenient
to control freaks, propaganda artists, and so forth, but they are simple rules which formal conversational logic has in fact understood now for centuries.
The Criteria for a Functional Group SuperIntelligence are these;
1. Dynamic and sufficient organization. Threaded conversations, multiple forums, a virtual filing cabinet formed to house any considerable problem solving process.
2. Genuine open democracy and true transparency even in self governance.
3. Conversational Logic is used to determine neutrality and truth value as well as relevance
4. Collaborative and Cooperative mood and atmosphere
5. Open and free space seperated from problem solving process for minority dissent; Internal hosting of splinter or counter movements.
6. Meritocratic Intellectualism
7. Non Violent communication and organization for use as primary tools of "moderation."
8. Participant agreement that all past paradigms are to be mined for their good and shredded for their bad.
This includes republicanism, democratism, socialism, Corporatism, And all other political isms.
9. Participants understand that they are mutually creating new paradigms, but that even a new paradigm is potentially just the next larger mental box;
inoculation against groupthink via familiarization with epistomology, epistomological problems, and symbology psychology.
10. Each participant is tasked to research, compile, read, report, self educate, work a group thought experiment, rinse, repeat.

in case anybody misses me, thats where i have gone.
I'm an admin/moderator over there. YAY!.
It will serve my purposes much better i think than over here.
:)
Tho i assume i will stop in form time to time for the stuff that won't play well over there.
and to try to dig up more people to come on over...
It is ti me for all true patriots to come together to discuss our problems, their definitions,
realistic problem solving process, and the solutions which together we can find. It is time for us
all to follow each of these golden arrows shot from the Bow of Obama, out to its resting place,
To look at what he is pointing at, and then to begin to build together a possible world inspired by his vision.
Let each of us know that we all have a stake in these problems and their solutions, and we all have
wisdom or knowledge which can be applied to the process. Lets talk about the issues. Lets snatch the dialogue
away from petty manufactured distractions. Lets have an ADULT conversation about politics, for the first time
in history. We must be the change we wish to see.
"Never doubt that a small group of people working against impossible odds can change the world. Its the only thing
that EVER has."
tribes.tribe.net/obamaknig...5d-4de3-b5 53-6c5e8e81850a
about me
I learned to speed read when i was eight years old and have read thousands of Textbooks and related materials in the subjects that interest me.
:ymalien:
No, ... really... its true. If only you knew how true. briefly, lets put it in context.
I'm an aspie. I have 3 out of eight types of IQ in the 180 range and 3 out of eight in the
low nineties. The cognitive differences between me and AVERAGE"(?) are thus skewed away
from average both directions; extreme high intelligence and a lot of graceless stupidity.
So there I am; alienated and alienating;
studying your civilization just so that i can adjust to its strange social customs;
And thus existing in a very awkward matrix of perceptions about that civilization
most of its participants can't have.
To think of it in more literal terms, its like the common persons view versus the birds eye
view of civilization to be in my head. Imagine, then, what this is doing to me, as TORI AMOS
once asked" Don't you know what this is doing to ME? Here? In my HEAD?"

Post subject: Re: THREE POSSIBILITIES??? Post There are three main timeline paths diverging in yonder woods, and i say, lets take the path less travelled
in a sharp less turn and fix this path that we are on.
The first possibility is that we will invest in nuclear and biofuels and miss our chance to convert the economy in time to prevent the meltdown that would happen due to the increased strain on the biosystem to grow fuel and global warming. So in possibility one, Joe president is hanging out in NEW DENVER. Its the turn of the next century, thats right, 2100. And Joe is sitting there in the superbasements above and below and next to NORAD, and the news is grim. Because the planet is covered in super cell storms, and the atmosphere and the ocean have hit their tipping points where the balancing system kicks in; Earth is auto healing her atmosphere by flushing it with more water;
the increased heat is simply evaporating more water. All the land life has died on the surface from radiation and heat, or 700 mile per hour winds. And they are thinking and talking mostly regretfully about
how they mismanaged the earth. But the good news is that theres a lot of biological activity still left in the oceans. Sure they are acidic, and almost all fish life died, but there are lots of bottom dwelling creatures and flora which won't even notice. The big happy news in fact is that our colonies on the sea floor are going well, almost finished in their construction.
And then the bad news hits. The systemic destruction of the top layers of the ecosystem have triggered an evolutionary biopanic in the primitive strains which survived. Evolution which has stayed at a very slow rate or pace has now been accelerated geometrically foreward as the very primitive strains are adapting to the new conditions we created as a test of their adaptive ability. We are forcing
an evolutionary event, in which we just created hyperplagues; billions of them.
The good news is surface life is showing back up, in tiny little clumps hidden under rocks and in caves;
as new clustering biogroups of simple life which has only just now evolved are popping up everywhere.
The spins on that get progressively worse and worse and worse as time goes on, until in 2105 or so at the very end of the large novel i can write in my head, joe president learns that a species of newly evolved ants has found NEW DENVER and breached its security barriers. En masse.
While hes in an interior zone which is remote from the larger easier to access tunnels, the ants are
incoming from every direction, and they are the size of infant kittens and enormously toxic with their bites.
They use acids to dissolve even metals, and they are coming, inevitably, like the new ecologies
grim reaper, it descends into new denver with a fatal inevitability, and with sounds of gunfire and screams heard in the distance, that possibility ends.

Post subject: Re: THREE POSSIBILITIES??? Post The second possibility is a much more grand scheme in which joe is sitting as president at cruithne station. Realizing in the 2020s that the moon and mars would be silly and impossible to colonize, we finally got ourselves up to cruithne, and hollowed her out and spun her. The main population center
is now cruithne, with thousands of smaller craft distributed out to colonize over time the rest of the solar system. The story centers on the discovery of warp drive and our subsequent quest for a new planet to
replace the one we just wore out, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of being a species with nothing to cling to and everything to gain from any found found conflict with a species that just happens to have a nice planet we admire.
In this story there are only 42 species in the whole galaxy; that being the entire reason for the answer douglas adams computer so eloquently provided. 42 total sentient and space faring (in the warp drive sense.) However, we have just entered that arena and some of those species have been planet shopping for millenia, so the 300,000 planets which are earth sized and in an earth like orbit have all been taken in the galaxy and all the ones with life on them of any kind have alien colonies already there.
The only way to gain turf is to take it. While we are not by any means the most powerful species in the galaxy, half of the galaxy is running on technology we can duplicate or better.
Guess who the "BORG" are?
Guess who the "Grox"? are?
They are only that side of shadow projected into an amusement;
a symbol of something we all know we may become.
The unfortunate unseen end to this tragic novel is that while there was easy prey to start with, 3 different civilizations in the galaxy have technology so advanced above ours that they end us as a minor annoyance one day when they notice, in horror, what we have done.
Its a long and banal novel in my mind, a war story all about conquest that only takes a very surprising twist in the last five minutes of reading.

Post subject: Re: THREE POSSIBILITIES??? Post The third possibility, and the point of this board is that we are here for the purpose of creating that third possibility, is joe president on cruithne station is now inaugurating the Zenterprise. Its 10 thousand meters long, carries a fleet of 1000 100 meter long and wide fighter/lander/cargo/atmospheric craft,
And looks suspiciously like the enterprise D except that theres 4 nacelles instead of only two, and theres
a large aftward hull which houses the bays.
This is inauguration day for a dream brought to life; a science fiction story made no longer science fiction,
not by one single planet earth; but by the will and collective knowledge of all the 42 sentient species of the galaxy. She is a million times faster than any known previous ship, and a thousand times better armed, and she is staffed not by a crew of 300 humans and 50 aliens, but by a crew of 42 different slots,
each in exact proportion, for a crew total of say 8400, or 20 individuals per species. (did i miss a zero somewhere? It barely matters one way or the other.)
We discovered warp in 2035, or, to put it a different way, we engineered it first successfully. The limits
of it are its node to node gravity well hopping, just like with spode. Unlike spode it gets about 100 light years of range to hop inside of the galaxy, or fine range to hop towards whole galaxies. The main consideration is gravitic interference, its hard to fly through complicated gravity fields.
The problem with hopping towards a galaxy is its still some ratioized stretched proportion for the time
distortion, and the journey towards the nearby galaxies takes months and farther quickly years.
Whereas hopping star to star is virtually instantaneous.
The difference in limitation between our first ships, then the Borgmobiles, and then this Zenterprise?
The Borg Mobiles will make it to ten times the speed and ten times the range, about 1000 light year hops in galaxy .
The Zenterprise will give us whole galaxy wide leaps to any star in the whole galaxy, and fly 100 times faster than the Borg Mobiles between galaxies.
This opens up the near cluster of galaxies about the same as multiplying it by a whole galaxy;
IE at least thousands of realistic destination galaxies and millions of galaxies accessible to long range trips.
so this Zenterprise reality will actually be far more powerful than Picards Enterprise and an order of magnitude larger. Rather than phasers, she will be armed with grasers, gravity beams. There won't be any transporter beam tho.... Lol.
This novel in my head begins with the inauguration day, with the president of the united states and the president of the united federation of planets transfering authority of the ship over to its human Admiral and commander. (since it runs a small fleet of ships, the Zenterprise is commanded by an admiral who commands 1000 captains.)

Post subject: Re: THREE POSSIBILITIES??? Post The unrealistic part of this simulation is warp speed. Into our own galaxy, it might well be that we would be looking to find earth 2 at merely .4 the speed of light, and that the Zenterprise would be capable merely of .9 of the speed of light. Which means the story would play out over a very slow period of time as a novel, but other than that not much changes.
:D

Post subject: Re: THREE POSSIBILITIES??? Post The difference between wether or not we get one or the other of the first two novels to live out as a species or wether we get the last option depends on wether or not this makes it to obamas Desk.
Quote:
1. There are many different ways to derive energy.
2. Each of these methods has different relationships with the environment
3. Each of these methods has different costs and different benefits
4. Each of the these methods has different pros and cons.
5. A partial list of methods; oil, coal, shale, wood, gas, Biofuels (a. food crop, b. hemp crop c. algae) Solar, Thermal Solar, Wind, Tidal, Geothermal, Hydrogen, Hydrolic, Zero Point, Nuclear.
6. Oils relationships with the environment are
a. oil is ancient organic material that has undergone geological processes.
b. oil is removed from the ground via oil wells. Ie oil is mined from the Earth.
c. oil is burned in order to get heat and chemical reaction to create the energy.
d. burning it creates smoke. the smoke is toxic. it is multiply toxic to the ecosystem in multiple ways.
e. its causing global warming
f. it causes cancer
g. it causes acid rain
h. thus it hurts humans personally and the whole ecosystem as whole in these different ways.
7. oil costs a certain amount of money to obtain from the earth, depending on how deep it is and at what pressure it is under.
8. oil costs a certain amount of money to refine and process, as well as to transport.
9. The pros of oil are that ;
a. it is accessible with very primitive levels of technology
b. our current energy infrastructure is based on oil
c. oil costs less than biofuels or, at least, it used to.
d. oils over all cost benefit analysis remains do-able from the perspective of economics alone.
10. The cons against oil are
a. oil is actually very expensive as technology compared to other forms of energy in which initial
costs render yields not limited by physical quantities. Solar power stations, Wind, and Geothermal all provide energy options which
are simply cheaper over the long term.
b. oil pollutes the ecology as mentioned in its environmental analysis above.
c. that pollution will cause the extinction of life on earth as we know it should it continue.
d. we have already reached a tipping point where we have raised the global temperature so high that the new larger contributor to
greenhouse gasses is the ice that is being melted.
e. thus we need solutions to reverse global warming, or, our civilization is doomed.
11. Coal. The specifics change, but Coal, like oil, is an ancient organic substance exposed to geological processes, mut be burned, and thus
contributes to pollution and global warming.
12. oil Shale and coal Shale. Similar to oil and coal or extensions of them, shale is harder to mine and harder to extract oil from.
thus it costs more to process.
13. Biofuels. The difference between biofuels and oil or coal is that biofuels have not been exposed to geological processes, but rather,
similarly effecting technological processes.
a.Biofuels still have toxic smoke which pollutes and which contributes to global warming
b. Biofuels trade energy shortage and economic stress for food shortage and economic stress, thus creating c +d
c. Biofuels create food shortages, hunger, and contribute to global poverty
d. Biofuels make food more expensive.
14. Solar Power
a. solar power is derived from the suns light and chemical processes.
b. Solar panels are a permanent fixture which will continue to derive energy whenever the sun shines.
c. Solar panels have real but comparatively very tiny environmental costs.
d. Solar panel technology is up to date and evolved, no more research is actually required.
e. assorted pundits and candidates and politicians and so forth like to tell us that they favor more research for solar power.
Thats a secret unsecret way of saying that they don't support employing it as a real world solution, because solar power has worked
and has been feasible and economically viable for over 20 years.
f. Solar power is derived at a specific rate depending on the size of the panel, the efficiency of the absorption of the sunlight, and the amount of
sunlight available.
g. Solar power does better at high altitudes because theres less atmospheric interference.
h. Solar Power has very low yields per physical system cost. In order to run a car on Solar energy, you have to panel the entire car,
and in order to run your house on solar energy, you would have to panel your entire rooftop and buy energy saving appliances.
i. Solar power is most attractive and useful in a whole energy strategy because it is uniquely mobile. Geothermal wells or Wind
power or tidal power (for obvious reasons) won't run a car directly.
j. Solar power could in theory be used to solve the energy crisis almost by itself, by paneling over a very large surface area. This surface area
has been calculated variously, with low estimates ranging in 10 by 10 miles, and high estimates ranging upto 200 by 200 miles.
h. The problem with this is that the cost/ benefit analysis shows us that this would be very expensive when compared to a holistic energy strategy.
i. Solar power has very low yields when compared to geothermal power.
15. Thermal Solar. Thermal Solar is a variation of Solar power with a much cheaper cost, a much lower per square foot yield, and operating at a much simpler technology level.
a. about 100 miles by 100 miles (median estimate) of Thermal solar paneling could in theory meet our energy needs.
b. Thermal Solar can be done in such a way that it has lower materials costs and lower materials environmental impact.
c. Thermal solar involves using light to heat a liquid which creates energy by pushing a turbine when the fluid expands.
16. Wind Energy.
a. Wind energy is derived from creating large turbines called wind mills.
b. Wind mills are generally very large affairs.
c. The larger a windmill is, the more energy it creates relative to its overall material cost.
d. This means that the cost/ benefit analysis shows that larger windmills are cheaper.
e. Windmills create medium yields of energy when they are operating.
f. One good large windmill can probably meet the energy needs for perhaps a dozen homes.
g. The USA could in theory meet all of its energy needs via wind power, if we invested heavily also in enormous
distribution network infrastructure.
h. The USA is rich in wind energy compared to most places on the earth.
i. the problem with windmills is downtime when theres no wind.
j. This is significantly less a problem than with solar downtime due to no sun.
k. Wind and Solar together as a team can capitalize on the two extremes of climate, and should thus be employed
alternately depending on the location one wishes to provide energy for.
l. for instance, Solar power is better in New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, And sunny places.
J. And yet Wind power is better in places like New Jersey, Oregon,...places alongside the Canada Border.
k. The other problem with wind power is that it can create quite an eye sore to look at.
l. Wind power also can be very devastating to local bird populations.
m. Wind and Solar might be good tandem partners for cities like Denver, where theres lots of wind and lots of sun,
but not usually at the same time except for when it is.
This allows such a system to generate power in the sunny months with solar and in the winter months with wind.
17. Tidal Power
a. Tidal power is derived much like wind power is, from the movement of water instead of air.
b. Tidal power is slightly higher in potential yields because water is denser.
c. Tidal power would have to be done more or less on remote beaches , probably in large fenced
areas to protect the systems from animals and animals and humans from the systems.
d. Tidal power is obviously only viable on the coastlines of oceans or very large bodies of water such as lakes.
e. Tidal power could in theory meet all of our energy needs.
f. the cost/ benefit analysis for tidal power is a bit murky because its a mostly unexplored technology.
g. however, proof of concept units do exist and the technology is very simple.
h. tidal power has problems due to the corrosive nature of salt water and erosion.
i. Tidal power is unpopular because it ruins one beach per facility.
j. Most accessible tidal power exists in the energy of waves.
k. Cost/ benefit analysis shows that tidal power can be done out at sea, but it becomes increasingly more expensive the further out
you go to get the power back to land.
l. Tidal power is probably a good solution for arctic regions which don't get much sun, and whose wind conditions might on some occasions be too intense,
pulling windmills down.
m. Along with Solar power and Wind power, tidal power provides a third leg of medium level yield energy for low materials cost in situations where
geothermal power would be too expensive.
18. Geothermal Power
a. Geothermal power is energy derived from the heat of the earth.
b. that heat is on average several miles beneath the surface.
c. However, there is a lot of variance in how deep that heat is, and every state has regions where that heat is within a few hundred meters of the surface.
d. Geothermal power like wind power becomes cheaper per materials cost the larger the plant is.
e. Geothermal power has very high potential yields, and is in fact competitive with nuclear power in terms of sheer yield.
f. Geothermal power plants could in theory be built with higher energy yields than nuclear power plants. However, this is not advised or advisable, due to
potential tectonic stresses such high energy plants could create.
g. in the range around 100th or even 1 tenth the yield energy of a nuclear power station, geothermal power stations could be built which would have
virtually no impact on tectonic stresses.
h. Tectonic stress is an important variable. Frequently geothermal power is most accessible along fault lines. However, these should be ignored for
caldera like situations where the system is not contributing or in danger due to tectonic stresses.
i. There are many different ways of configuring a geothermal power station, and only one which this author supports. This is called double circuit closed system geothermal power.
j. double circuit simply means that the water drops on one circuit and the steam comes up on the other.
k. closed circuit means that no water is ever lost in the system, because even the heating element chamber is a well engineered container
L. Geothermal power can in theory meet all of our energy needs
M. of the resources available to us, it does this with the cheapest over all cost, the smallest possible ecological footprint, and the highest level of
permanency.
N. Geothermal power is not a good solution in situations where a small amount of power is needed for small communities or remote estates. It has a high material cost and start up cost to drill the well.
O. Geothermal power is theoretically available almost everywhere on the surface of the earth.
P. current oil wells now go as deep as 7, 8, 9 miles deep.
Q. Enough Geothermal power is accessible within 200 meters depth to meet all of our energy needs.
R. where larger power sources are wanted in places where that heat is deeper, it is still true that geothermal heat in most places is not
deeper than 4 miles.
S. In some rare situations where the crust is thick, geothermal power might be as deep as 20 miles.
Don't drill there, import the energy from 150 miles away somewhere.
19. Hydrogen power;
a. Hydrogen power is an up and coming technology which we can expect to see having good strong applications 20 or 30 years from now.
b. Hydrogen power is very promising, but currently, its still mostly a way to store energy, not create it.
c. The two main exceptions to this are using corrosive rare earth metals to get reactions, and using phased electrical energy to short out the binding force.
d. The problem with the former is that the rare earth metal is itself a form of fuel, and that creating it, and "burning" it with water both create toxic
substances as side effects.
e. the problem with the latter is containment of the field and what happens when organic matter is exposed to high energy bursts of electricity.
f. To the knowledge of this author, water based solutions which continue to use a combustion engine are frauds.
g. When Hydrogen becomes a used technology, it will probably be for very large equipment and uses, such as trains, planes, and large boats
20. Hydrolic or Hydro Electric power.
a. This energy is created by damming a river and using falling water to drive a turbine.
b. this is incredibly damaging to the ecology.
c. Yields are fairly high per materials cost, but, still, hydro electric materials costs are comparable to geothermal power, which doesn't destroy an entire
ecosystem per power plant.
d. Hydro electric power does not exist in anywhere near sufficient quantities to meet all of our energy needs.
e. This author finds hydro-electric power to be a bad idea all the way around, not even as useful as nuclear power.
21. Nuclear power
a. Nuclear power (currently) is derived from using rare earth metals in reactions which turn some fraction of those fuels directly into energy.
b. The radioactive fuels must be mined, and this results currently in the deaths (and serious health problems) of many Miners.
c. Nuclear power currently creates hyper toxic and radio active wastes, which cost money to tend and babysit, and which in an accident
of ignorance 10 thousand years from now could wipe out an entire continents worth of our descendants.
d. Nuclear power is in many senses still a futuristic technology with much promise and much potential.
e. Thus nuclear power should be studied and refined in the laboratory.
f. The focus of such studies should be in finding ways to use non radioactive fuels,
finding ways to create dissipating forms of radiation only, and finding ways to eliminate the problem of wastes.
g. Nuclear power is very high yield, but it has exorbitant costs, especially over the long term.
h. Compared to Geothermal power, nuclear power is extremely expensive, gets more expensive instead of less expensive over time, is extremely
dangerous, and perhaps most importantly, sooner or later we will run out of nuclear fuels, and still be forced to move on to geothermal power.
i. Nuclear power will be most useful for purposes of exploring our solar system and our galaxy.
j. There is no good reason to use nuclear power for domestic use considering the other much better alternatives.
22. Zero point energy
a. Zero point energy is derived from quantum phase state fluctuations where energy is created in contradiction to the "laws" of conservation of mass and
energy.
b. Zero point energy is a futuristic technology which may become realistic within the next 100 years.
c. Final stage proof of concept zero point energy research should be conducted at least as distant from the earth as the oort cloud, due to the unforseeable
nature of potential dangers.
d. In theory, zero point energy could create a self sustaining quantum phase reaction which could create nearly unlimited energy in spaces literally too small to be seen by the naked eye.
e. Early stage research into zero point energy is the entire field of quantum mechanics, specifically Singularities, branes, and quantum holographics.
23. Summary of findings.
a. Geothermal, Solar, Wind, Tidal, and Hydrogen Technologies together provide a clear and easy path towards green and sustainable energy.
b. Geothermal energy specifically is the solution which a realistic green energy infrastructure should be rooted in.
c. It is reasonable to project a total holistic solution in which 80 percent of our energy comes from geothermal, 10 percent from Solar, 5 percent from
Wind, and 5 percent from Tidal.
d. It is also worth mentioning that electric cars are a current and viable technology.
e. This is all of it simply a sumary of known and provable science fact. The only reason why most people don't know all of this is that oil companies
and rich evil jerks have spent billions of dollars to flood the public with propaganda and misinformation.
f. The other strategy of the evil empire jerks is to promote energy resources such as biofuels or nuclear power which create a situation of extreme expense so that they can continue to exploit our need for energy in order to make money. A Geothermally based energy infrastructure would provide
extremely cheap energy (especially over the long term) and this would be the death of the energy industry.

now we have a rare opportunity to work with our new president against the matrix. all that is required is sufficient solidarity and a viral internet movement.
It is completely and totally up to us. Obama will just be the victim of the corrupt system unless we rise up and have the revolution.
It all depends on us.

sure, in fact, our paradigms have been holding our evolution back for 6000 years, so the rubber band has been stretching all that time.
If we can release the grab energy by knocking down the paradigms, we could evolve very rapidly.
In theory we could be looking at a slower than light star trek like civilization in our own solar system in under 50 years.
If the light barrier is breakable we should be able to figure out how to do it this century.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_shift
a paradigm shift waits for us so large and so tall that it terrifies us into complacent matrix driven mediocrity.
for the cost of the bailouts, we could have ended poverty on planet earth.
for the same materials costs and only slightly higher manufacturing costs, we could have hover cars that do mach eight and which could achieve low orbit.
All of the sciences and all of human knowledge is strewn in a mess and locked into a million different paradigm lockers. pull it all out and clean it all up an piece it all together, and what we are looking at is the potential for technology 2.0.
What if picards enterprise is merely a science fiction version of something we don't have to wait 400 years for, but which is waiting for us,
just around the corner, for us to quit arguing and bickering and wasting all of our time?
Until we make that paradigm shift we have no clue how large its implications could be. But theory says that if you can travel at any speed faster than C, you can travel at infinite velocity.
Yes, we can, we could evolve. So suddenly and so powerfully that all of human civilization preceding it would look like merely the preparation for that final collective leap into a new greater, second sky.
Can we have the courage to let go of fighting as pawns for the two sides of the matrix propaganda wars?
can we face our awesome responsibilities and our even more awesome potential power?

Because of this boards mission as it exists to solve problems, we are faced with a very peculiar instance
with religion and the politics of faith. Those most likely to be invested in this issue are also least likely
to understand the genuine realities, the least likely to appreciate ethics, or morality, and the most likely
to argue from their pet paradigm and to commit assorted ethonocentric and cognicentric fallacies against
other religions.
People would rather have the fight. They would rather be superior and moral than correct and ethical.
They would rather use morality as a smokescreen to go on doing what real ethics tells us is wrong.
Nobody could possibly be blunt enough regarding modern christianity or the fascist and evil monster that
it has become. Where Yeshua preached peace, the pulpits preach war. Where Yeshua preached love and compassion, the pulpits preach hate and moral indignation. Where Yeshua preached Gender Equality, the
paradigm to follow him was used as a political tool to enslave women into subservience. Whereas Yeshua
preached a God of monotheistic pantheism, The paradigm to followed was merely roman fascism with a new political gimmick to get Jews to pay taxes and accept A hierarchal God inacessable except via intervention of Church. The Church set itself up in the ultimate scam; It stole spirituality socially and
turned it into a theme park, which it then sold back to the population as mental slavery and intellectual
feeble mindedness in the form of moral and ethical and social false dualities, rigged to create a mental cage to keep anybody from thinking seriously about options to the Roman Rule.
In fact on literally every front, modern Christianity is an orwellian reversal of what the actual prophet had to say. The many false churches He warned of are all that is left. There is no modern version extant which even comes close to matching what the science facts now tell us the actual person had to say.
Overwhelming and thunderous evidence can be poured in to demonstrate that the Bible is just a politically motivated retrofit of the Tanakh, contrived for political purposes and created to form a political agency masquerading as a spiritual one. Overwhelming evidence now tells us beyond a shadow of a doubt that the result was in fact a fascist death worshipping war cult, which proceeded to conquer the known world of the time by the sword in the name of its God.
But these are not vote winning truths, nor are they convenient as such to political efforts. Political models say don't make any waves against peoples belief systems. The problem with this is that the belief systems are the problem. Everybody is still operating via that well programmed assumption that Daddy is going to get elected and solve all of our problems, and that the only relevant question is which daddy we pick. But no Daddy can solve our problems because thats just running away from our culpability by shoving off our responsibility onto somebody else. The more a person does it the better it feels because the weight of the world is no longer on their shoulders. They can abdicate care, and worry, and concern, and just focus merely on which token puppet of the matrix to vote into power.
The problem is the competition model, still programmed into us just as orwell tried to tell us, still used
not only by governments, but by the "free" market. And when orwellian twilight zones take effect, all meanings of value words are in fact reversed. The market is not free, it is managed slave labor, and
it is not open, it is closed to the bottom, and it is not self correcting because it is parasitic evil, based
on the model of competition and applying that model between the social castes. The rich won. And they keep on winning. And everybody else gets to keep losing at their expense. Why? Because the market paradigm is based on warfare. Why? Because the religious paradigm is based on warfare, but
uses false daulities to pretend to be all about peace and love and light. And that mental cage reflects
the paradigm of warfare and projects it into everything else. Our politics, our schools, our churches, our media, our recreation, our work, our play, all of it modeled not on charity and love as advocated by Yeshua, but on greed, and self importance, and the right of the few to take what they want by proving themselves to be superior.
Beyond this, the problem is itself "Faith." "Faith" as such is merely a call to remain ignorant and a reminder not to question authority. It is a call to blind obedience in a paradigm, not a virtue as they would like everyone to believe, but a vice which is used to lead everyone astray. What good is faith?
Faith will not connect you to the collective unconscious or cosmic Consciousness. Faith will not ensure you a location in tiferet in an afterlife where you were assured that merely repenting and paying tithing
would get you by. Faith does not connect you to your spirit, and in fact, because you are told that you cannot have your own direct spiritual experiences (such are only reserved for holy people who are sanctioned by the church.) faith actually is how you are denied access to spiritual reality.
There is in fact no good use for faith, at all.
A genuine spiritual practice grounded in real ethics and love will yield reproducible results. All sorts of things can pretend to be that, but it only takes a few basic questions to find out that a person is operating from faith, not direct experience. There are two kinds of people in the world; Those that Talk to God and Those that don't. And the people that pray to "Jesus the Christ" Are marking their mail
to a node in the collective unconscious which then forwards it directly to "Satan."
Yeshua was the name of the real person to start with. "Jesus" is just dionYSIUS rolled back and forth a few times between the Jewish and Roman Languages. "Christ" just means "annointed one" and as far as such a title goes, thousands of people were "annointed ones." And "Christ" is Roman, not Jewish,
in terms of the origin of the word in what language.
The sum total of all modern religious movements are more or less the hoaxes perpetuated to maintain
the mental cage. The "New Age" movement is just the same blame the victim false morality repackaged
in christmas tree lights and tinsel. The Reconstructionist Pagan efforts are trapped juggling symbols
and playing games with archetypes, and doing empty rituals they don't even know the underlying meanings of, let alone how to accomplish the psychic actions which the rituals represent.
A million and one scam artists; "Faith?"
The real spirituality is work. It is work within the self to come to peace. It is work within oneself to set
aside the trivia and distractions. It is work within oneself to divorce oneself from mortal circumstances
and petty dramas. It is work within oneself to resolve the conflicts between id and ego which the culture programs into us and sets into motion by the time we are 3 or 5. We have to resolve the shadow of the ego, the shadow of the mammalian mind, the shadow of the reptilian mind, and then (and only then) can any of those rituals even begin to have meaning.
Becoming pure, and whole, and clear, and lucid, and ethical enough to transcend ones own banality and mortality, and reach into the absolute via dynamic inner stillness, and expanding the psyche up the tree until finally coming back to meet the mind of GOD.
No mere "Prayer" can get you there, and no mere ritual can suffice. In that other world there is the work, and you can imagine doing it, or think about doing it, but until you do it, it isn't done. There is no such thing as magick and there is no such thing as a miracle. There are only the laws of nature in their assorted descending scales into subtler and smaller quantum spaces. Those laws do not change nor waver, they operate perfectly and without fail. Real spirituality means having an INTERNAL TECHNOLOGY. It means understanding what those laws and rules are and via that understanding applying right action to obtain some technological effect.
Humans are caught like flies in the webs of their own paradigm conflicts. Science can not advance because it can not consider the implications of quantum information or the holographic universe, or subtle energy. Or consciousness. And Religion can not advance because it wants to forever stay an ignorant and petulant child, rather than grow up and face reality as it is.
The two fight and fight each other, but the rub is if you happen to be caught in the crossfire as all of us are; unable to consider the possibility of a scientific religion, and unable to consider the possibility of a religious science, and so trapped in barbaric science and barbaric religion.
In the mean time, there are all of our problems, and because of that interesting property of how all things are interrelated, it comes down to the lynchpin that is holding everything back is spiritual ignorance. Spiritual ignorance as it manifests as fighting each other instead of cooperating and collaborating, spiritual ignorance as it manifests in great endeavors of trivia and distraction, Spiritual ignorance as it manifests in our simple lack of a real problem solving process.
Driven to fight for evil by attachment to what we have been scammed into thinking is good, we are killing each other off, pushing the clock towards armageddon, killing our planet, destroying our ecosystem, and melting slowly down from corporate oligarchy to totalitarian fascism in terms of our government.
All because 50 percent of the population wants to think that life is as easy as letting somebody else do their thinking for them.
But their preachers don't know God, they don't Know Yeshua, and they don't know truth. These churches have nothing to offer but ignorance, fear, greed, shame, hatred, blame, and pain. They create nothing of note good in the world more than tiny efforts at charity which are dwarfed by much larger efforts at caste warfare. In the war of ideas and words, your church is on the side of corporate America. They need each other to keep you fooled.
The real truth about religion is that every last one of them has good useful things encoded in them
by people who were having real spiritual experiences, and every last one of them has since rotted to the core via the worms of politics.
The task before us is sanely then to first solve the problem of how to facilitate a real spirituality, and then secondly, how to rescue what is of value from all of these religions.

When I was eight years old,
i still had not learned to read.
They put a dunce cap on me and, shooed me on down the line.
My mother wouldn't have it so she spent the summer of eight teaching me to read using flashcards.
I have extreme dyslexia. Small letters want to jumble more because they are too small a bit for my trip space brodmmans areas.
And so, i learned to read by whole word sight recognition over one summer- actually about the first 3 weeks of it.
And THEN.....
Ask yourself what you would read, if you knew that now, all it would take you to read a textbook was a single day?
Which subjects would you devote yourself to? And what would you do with yourself for those long hours at the library?
I had problems to solve bigger than most kids and the driving force of them pushing my personal evolution learning bellcurves to their limits.
I had getting beaten up every day at school to deal with because I didn't understand pack psychology, didn't have an ago to speak of,
and as an ASPIE; wondering to myself what the humanz are all up to and what to make of how dysfunctional their big pack psychology driven mass
narcissism civilization experiment was doing.
So i didn't bother much with trivia, or fiction, or distractions of any kind. I had big problems to solve fast about what was up with humanz
and why they were so nuts so that I could get around the problem of the difference between my head state and their collective demons.
My mother tied up the karma for my incarnation package by being herself then going to school to get a degree in psychology.
Aspies studying psychology. Think about it. Some might call it ironic or even humorous.
Because i didn't figure out humanz well enough to prevent my being beaten every day of my life by those good mormon boys, at school, at church, in scouts...
Four more years of my life passed with me in a bubble of heavy reading, nose grind to the wheel, reading textbooks, reading psychology, trying to get far
enough ahead to talk down to the teachers and then after that to fix the problems. A textbook a day or two every day for 4 years.What kind of geek was I?
But this was when I was eight, and that was Summer. And then came school. And with it new books, all of which I read in the first week. Imagine my boredom.
Imagine how much they didn't want to think about or confess to themselves that I knew more about the topic than they did by the start of fall.
And picture me triumphantly haven outfoxed and out manuevered the many little demonites and their games of torture the nerd and sitting in a park at 4 pm
out behind the school, and thinking, "gee, hmm. Fear. no fear. move. go home. stay here. Hide. its all over. you never know where they may be lurking."
Or the fear it took to overcome to move me into the big field behind the school, or, how triumphant i felt out there standing alone on the playground.
And then walking away past there back to the field I was suddenly inspired to pray. Not that I believed in the human cultural god whose overwhelming
proof that he didn't exist was the manifest pacj psychology driven anti ethical mob which masqueraded via him as a symbol as an ethical or moral society.
And feeling the depth of that and all the shame and pain and greif of being different and thus a target for ego motivated violence, I mulled that over
in my mind as a sort of rolling question directed vaguely at God. Something started to roll back with me then and i drifted as if in a trance to marching
in a circle and humming :"onward christian soldiers".
The moment the Ally arrived is very clear in my mind. I had the distinct impression of noise, or happening, behind me, as if afraid that somebody had snuck up
behind me. I turned to face this energy, but it had already hit me, and at that moment i was sure I had been hit by lightning, as i felt a sharp blow of
pain all through my body accompanied by a very hot light and both a visual and auditory experience of snap crackle and popping.
Yet, somehow in the midst of that i had drifted into a hallucination, and as I turned to face this thing I had now detached from my body and was above
myself watching a woman running desperately through a very foreign and forrest like environment, with momentary peeks of a far off bright red
skinned something chasing her, she leaped up and created around her a portal, and i was transported with her as sheappeared thenin the field behind me,
but I could see myself not see-ing her, but she was running towards me, and then she was right behind me, and then I started to turn to face her,
and then she was shrinking and jumping into a ball of light that zoomed over my head and then froze solid in place above my head before pouring and trickling
down into me as liquid light.
That scene then ended, and the electrical sensation stopped, and it seemed for a moment I had stopped hallucinating but had turned to look into a bright
sunset.But then the scene of the school before me began to dissolve, and a tugging force formed pulling me upward. A sort of triwrling "dust devil" of air
buzzed around me, and then the ground beneath me dissolved, and i found myself suspended in a vortex which seemed to spinning somehow simultaneously in
opposite directions with differently charged particles some of which were falling up and some of which were falling down.
For a few moments then it seemed like i was flying upward, but that is also a paradox in that i could FEEL myself expanding, outward in all directions
with incredible velocity, until the earth itself formed an orb below me, which in this strange vortex space appeared as a purple globe of many shades
of purple. (everything was now lit in exotic shades of purple filiment backlights, or streaming vortex threads which curled like serpents i the vortex in
strange patterns.)
At first everything was for a while purely energetic, and not describable in mythic or symbolic terms, just a sense of expansion into a purplish lit
vortex that was more felt than seen, and more black by far than lit.
A sort of ultradark and yet slightly dimly lit swirrling liquid...
At some point this changed in that I sensed the walls of a tunnel and moving through that tunnel, as well as acceleration upward and thus noticably moving
through th vortex rather than merely floating in it.
It was soon after that when everything changed and I began once again to actually hallucinate. Several beings were around me. I had perhaps felt or intuited
this when flying throught the purple vortex, but i seemed to awaken into a reality where I could now see them. One was a whispy shadow of darkness, blacker
than any black, and the other a equally whispy and seemingly much dimmer Angelic like being. However I could tell that this angel was not even slightly human.
My hallucination of it imprinted some qualities of its other worldyness, and this looked more like a human composed of a constantly swirling liquid,
with both highly transparent outer surface liquids and highly lit up fire-ish liquids on the inside.
In fact it looked like several liquid vortexes, one inside the other inside the next, but all of them equally tall, just not as equally thick or wide.
I seemed to actually be somewhat contained inside a "wing" or furl of this beings vortex, which formed a liquid distortion through which i could watch the outer vortex
pass us by. The darker creature lurked always trying to take position behind me, and was smaller but much more intense of an energy.
It wasn't a swirling vortex at all but rather a dampened absence of all of that, a sort of empty stillness which was opaquely black,
but like smoke, in that it was transparent around its outer edges.
We seemed to fly up then into a new lit place, which seemed to me to be much like an airport, with lots of people going one way or some other, and great big
blobs of murky purple liquid acting as vehicles. We seemed to be flying upward then through the empty center of long circular stairwell, with each new level
looking out into a batch of airport terminals, and bustling folks going this way and that.
Then we got above that place, and for a moment it seemed I could look down on the building, but then we were again wrapped inside a murky purple vortex.
This one was much larger than the previous ones and less strung together by filiments. Instead, this was murky purple liquid bubble vortex, with bubbles
flowing in enormous spiral arms around a center network of liquid water, apparently flowing somehow in three dimensions rather than on a flat plane,
and stemming from a denser and far away so seemingly small liquid water center. (This water looked like simple real river water and flowed in random directions
but without any earth to guide it.)
I remember trying and failing to have a conversation then with the entities that were flying with me, but not clearly what was said other than the sense that
it was put off and revealed to me that one of them was an Angel and the Other the "Grim Reaper." they had to work hard together to carry me and thus could not
afford to try to communicate, thanks, now please be quiet and patient.
We zoomed up past the liquid ball which got bigger and bigger and yet still seemed very small comapred to the enormous purple bubble vortex around it.
As we got higher I began to have secondary episodic hallucinations, which i realized were me feeling the passing contents of the vortex around me. I came
to understand through these episodes that the bubbles were assorted dreams with one or more dreamers creating them, and then that the height we were at
was slowly changing the quality of those dreams as we went from more or less what one might think of as mini hells through mini gardens through mini heavens.
At the top the sample rate slowly went down as we encountered dreams of epiphanic visions or religious rapture, or exotic high energy positive emotions.
We then rapidly approached what i could see as thick membrane above us, and peirced that membrane slowly, decelerating against it, but pushing through, and into
a much darker void above us which we continued to climb through more slowly. Here i spotted a few times enormous eel like creatures which seemed to confront
the Angel and then move off. They seemed to be miles long and perhaps a few hundred meters in diameter, positively enormous.
We passed through a few more membranes and then came out into a new hyperspace which was an ocean of light. We continued for some time in that ocean until
we reached a fiery white and red center. The Angel then moved off, and I found myself floating in nearly unbearable light. A tendril of it lifted from
the surface of the orb of fire directly above me, and i suddenly had the strangest sensation that the only thing holding me down was the reaper being,
who now literally occupied the space directly under my feet, which made it easier to look at to rest ones eyes to look down into the darkness than to look
out into the light.
As the tendril rose i could feel enormous pressure or pull towards the light above me, and gravity seemed to shift direction such that i was actually above the red
and white sphere of light, with the black being holding me by my feet, dangling me upside down.
The tendril coming towards us gave me an idea then of the size of this thing as it started far away and seemed to be only a filament, but then as it
worked closer it became a vortex of red and white light which stopped a few hundred yards away, hundreds or thousands of miles long and perhaps a mile tall.
That tendril coalesced then and then shrank, with its long connection back to the star source becoming too skinny to see. And then upon its stretched surface
a sort of bubbling happened, and then a bearded man with a staff, clothed in white linens of liquid light stepped out from the tendril, but not completely away
from it. Like standing in a doorway.
We talked then and I would be lying to attempt to quote what was said. It seemed that i would fall asleep and wake back up. Conversations were both verbal and imagerial,
and most questions would cause a new scenic hallucination. I learned that this being was God, that the face that it had created to speak to me was done by
inhabiting my projected expectations, and that it was not my projected expectations, just that it used those expectations as a sort of starting point.
I learned the awesome power of the intelligence, as it answered questions with what amounts to whole movies, and it sometimes put me in the position to
watch scenes or clips out of other peoples lives to demonstrate points. I learned that it was infinite cosmic consciousness, and that if we touched, I would in one
sense burst into flame, and in another sense, simply join back to the ocean from which i came. It took my attention back to that little point inside of myself
and showed me that tiny little droplet of white and red flame which had originated from it as a source. I learned that it had not one single earth to
watch over, but thousands of planets per galaxy in trillions of galaxies per universe with infinite numbers of universes.
I learned that this true god could only awaken fully to percieve me if I had done my half to awaken to percieve it. I learned that this true god had no
name and no beginning, And that all names that could be created were but symbolic anthropomorphications of it. I learned that this one true god did not have
a favorite race or favorite gender or favorite class or caste. I learned that this one true god had no concept of sin and none of punishment, that it only wanted
for us to evolve or come back to it and was concerned and saddened when sometimes light was extinguished, but that it had no real power over our lives or
our choices until and unless we connected back to it.
I learned of a god an infinity times larger than any religious god who is nonetheless just as bound by the laws of nature and cause and effect as we are,
and who is certainly bajillions of times more powerful than we are taken as a whole, but yet who can't really do even as much as we can on the scale at which we
exist. I learned of a one true god and that consciousness and its limitations relative to what it can and can't do for me, and I learned that it had so much it did want
to share and give to me and so much that it wanted to give humanity. I learned that via its own limitations, it was actually desperate just to have a conversation
directly with us, and that it was as excited and as honored to talk to me as I was excited and honored to talk to it.
I learned from it how it had created the universe, via a simple song, a scalar fractal hologram, which created space and time and matter and energy and put all of the
forces of nature into play. I learned how It had then set up the grand experiment to experience individuality and perhaps evolution by exiting infinite cosmic consciousness
hyperspace and entering an inflated singuarity.
I learned that being a soul in an animal body is Gods idea of a break away from the boredom of eternity and infinity, that being alive is how God figured out
how to have fun. I learned that the cosmic joke of it all was that god created the universe to go play inside of. But then some of the godlingss got lost and took it a bit
too seriously.
I learned that god does not agree with violence, or social darwinism, or racism, or sexism, or pack psychology. I learned that God is in some senses
what connects us all to each other, and that thus in some senses the nearest divinity to us aside from ourselves is the other humans. I learned enormous
respect and admiration and love for the human soul, and I learned equal pity and sadness for the choices of some of those souls to do themselves and others
harm, based out of fear and greed and attachment and more or less masturbating their banal nature.
I learned that god loves us all but that the afterlife is simply about the energies of consciousness made real; not permissions nor punishments nor rewards;
just causes and effects and polarities. And Choices.
And then God asked me for a favor. The favor was to try to fix the problem of the human planet, which had lost sight of god. To help that civilization grow
and evolve, to make it past its foibles and primitivity.
I was given information relevant to accomplishing such a mission, and then I agreed, and then I was given even more information. And then, I returned back
down the way I had come. But this time, rather than shoot straight up the whole way, we zig zagged back down through the realities, and there were a lot
more of them.
I suppose I will save that story for the follow up sequel.

i am an aspie.
Aspergers syndrome. "Discovered" or "posited" or "studied" by "Hans Asperger".
It is a rare condition, occuring in less than 10 percent of the population, probably less than 2 percent,
but nobody knows for sure how many Aspies there are because At the high functioning end, An Aspie with a good
set of Coping mechanisms can fool everybody but themselves.
In the formal ideation of Modern Psychology, Aspergers Syndrome is considered in essence a minor
form of Autism. While this may even be true causaully, its not the right way to explain Aspergers Syndrome to anybody,
because Aspergers Syndrome is a VERY DIFFERENT thing than Autism.
But lets start where they do. The Autistic. Imagine a human computer. Installed with some minor glitches.
This one reverses the normative function of the immediate frontal lobes, and instead of discarding the subconscious
mind in favor of having five senses, discards five senses in favor of having a basement universe to play inside of.
The autistic lives inside of a dream of their own perpetuity, Not discriminating between "external" and "internal"
forms of reality. They favor a sort of waking somnambulism.
Which is hardly something a systems theorist can blame them for.
The normal brain, being wired for the five senses, has somehow to convince the frontal lobes that its immersed in
them. Were it not for this illusion, created by the brain of being a sense orientated creature, The 99 percent of
the communication that goes on in the brain about stuff happening in thoughts, ideations, or internal body maintenance
would as a whole brain conversation overwhelm and thundersilence the comparatively tiny streams of data which
are the sensory process.
The subconscious is subliminal because if it weren't, there would be too much noise in your head to think over.
Moving on to the scitzophrenic. Which brodman brain areas might be having too loud a chat with each with each other
there?
An Aspie, like an autistic or a scitzophrenic, has a relationship with the internal world which the normal brain
does not, but, Which the Autistic or Scitzophrenic could never imagine either.
The Aspie simply has more access to by will forms of altered states of consciousness, OR is simply hanging out in
altered states of consciousness, OR, is having a useful cogent loud conversation between ordinarilly subliminal
brodmanns brain areas. A scitzophrenic is having generally miscommunication which disturbs and frightens them.
An Autistic is so enamored of the mind that he never leaves it. An Aspie, like an autistic knows of an inner world
and tends to live there. But the aspie, unlike the autistic, or the Scitzophrenic does know the difference between
the inner and outer world, and not getting the two even as confused as most normal people do, with their projections
and their shadow issues and their bears and their inner lions and tigers and demons, (OH MY!).
Aspergers Syndrome exists itself as one band on a larger spectrum, a spectrum defined by psychological relationship
to inner and outer reality.
The autistic person can't leave inner reality behind until they are taught to.
The Aspie on the other hand is rendered a visiting Alien.
Farther away than most peoples furthest Science Fiction Star,
And yet Closer than the Total human Bellcurve
Aspies are the real Aliens; From another universe, but hanging out here because the body seems handy.
(And, sometimes inescapable.)
The true proportions of this in the psychology sense are larger than the normal mind can imagine.
But consider this. The human brain is still in theory the most powerful computer ever designed or built.
To equal its computational power would require still building something costing billions if not trillions of dollars.
The software it runs is uncracked, and we can't program computers to do many tasks humans do without even thinking
about it. The occipital lobes which suspend the normal mind in its day dreams and its dreams both, while at the same
time juggling the process of the actual visual information, sends a report to the frontal lobes which then tells
the frontal lobes what is "seen."
Everything you have ever seen, by the time it reaches "You", is but a neurally carried signal. The sophistication
of this neural computer like network is so great that you are immersed in it and think that its you.
People get the idea that they ARE their experiences; What comes from having five senses.
But thats not what we really are. What we really are, all of us, is a fractal holomorphic equation, iterated
in tandem of a mass variation subroutine. That fractal equation is the whole of the universe, which our consciousness
is merely one speck of. Consciousness; a mere property of all mass and energy and information, focalized into the ability
to interact non ghostlike with physicality by virtue of inhabiting animal bodies.
The animal bodies focus and enhance and carry that signal, but they are not the origin of it, they are just one
more chemical and atomic fractalization set, at the macrochemical scale. The same fractal equations built all
of quantum mechanics, all of Atomic Mechanics, All of Chemistry and All of Biochemistry, the planets, the stars,
the galaxies, just successive iterations of the same fractal inside of itself at many different scales.
That "Inner" world, and that "outer world" are two examples of that scalar level. Further studying the mind one
learns that beta brainwave conditions lock a person to awareness of the five senses and a waking mind. Alpha conditions
are the consciousness of the brain as self unit; And desolve the brains mental compartmentalization. Dreams are
the activity the occipital lobes provides to cover the after hours staff meeting of the brodmanns brain areas.
Signals from the subconscious mind, making past the filter provided to keep the beta level brain thinking its
the whole thing. Theta brainwaves are actually the brain invested in a different external reality; That of the
neurologic body. And Delta brainwaves are the brains resting state; Where most of the brain turns "off".
"Crazy" Is in most cases an inapropriate phase state interaction, Where one persons Brainwave states are connecting
them to a reality which is socially incongruent. "Sane" however, is just one location in the matrix of possible
"crazy" locations, which just happens to be the locations agreed upon via mostly pack psychology process.
And Aspies on the low end get to be the victims of the peculiar problem of this; That civilizations assumptions
of its own neutrality are just as insane as any paranoid delusional psychotic. Yet, Society operates by having
a majority agree to a version of reality. Its just a version. Its not reality.
In the many voices of the demon pundits, "Everybody is entitled to an opinion."
This is rash nonsense. An opinion is an unwarranted idea fomented for political purposes by some body
using propaganda. It is devoid of sense, disconnected from reason or knowledge, and does nothing whatsoever towards
resolving any given problem. All opinions are equally useless. The only thing of value is an educated decision
based on a total understanding of a situation, its parameters, its assorted causes and effects, the natural laws
inovled, and so forth.
When one opens their mind, they begin to see across the gap. With study, An Aspie can begin to understand human
culture not as a participant, but as a scientist, as a reverse lab rat joke, where god shrinks the lab techie
and puts him in with the rats in the rat maze. On the other side, Humans who study psychology and who live with
an aspie in the family might get to understand their Aspie, at least from the theoretical side.
But that one gap is in some ways a fractal echo of all gaps. The Gap between the conscious and unconscious mind,
a stone wall for most minds and a road for aspies, We find there inside the echoes of the fractal equation,
and the more we unravel, the closer we come to self knowledge. And true self knowledge is the wings that crosses
all gaps, for there is in truth only one self to know. We are all sleeping fractal microbits, tricked by human bodies
into thinking of self as local to those bodies. But self is as infinite as space and time, and is bound only
by sufficient phase quantity to scale laws as to how present or awake it is in any given space or time.
And Time is only one place ever, and that is "Now."
All pasts are recorded by all quantae's spins and properties, and chaos, entropy, and order take place as tiny
additions and subtractions from all things everywhere. The string of Nows are thus just another illision created
by being biochemical. Time is orbits around a sun or orbits around an atomic nucleus, locative potential phase
states meandering around wave forms exploring their most probable positions in their positional matrixes.
An Aspie or A Human inherits a labyrinth. For a human, Those doors are all closed and that country within
unknown. For an Aspie, Those doors are all open and that country within is home.
Which choice is Saner?
Unlike an Autisic or a Scitzophrenic, I do not have a problem, Nor in truth any disability. Because my psychological
condition is not simply distal from the norm, it is launched foreward and ahead on the bellcurve.
Aspies were called by Hans Asperger "Little Professors." Driven by an internal light to focus the mind on some
few subjects, Aspies as Children had made themselves allready as knowledgable in some feild of knowledge as most
adults ever become. They had allready pushed themselves to specialization, and done the reading required to
understand some one thing (or two things, or three things....) Better than most adult Humans Understand their own
Specialization.
Unable to form normal Human relationships, or to understand basic human rituals, socially clueless, seemingly lost,
frequently mislabeled retarded, bullied and picked on by their peers....Born "Eccentric."
Most human professors only become Eccentric after becoming so knowledgable that this knowledge sperates them
from the general population. Aspies go the other way. They are seperate from society and so they study some peice
of it until they know it better than almost anybody.
I am an Aspie. Aspergers Syndrome is a spectrum unto itself between high functioing Aspies ands Low Functioning
Aspies. My brain does not always run so smoothly as a humans does.
Sometimes it is a lot more like this desktop i am typing on. Sometimes it glitches and won't do what i want.
But one thing i can tell you is; I know myself on the inside better than humans do.
And this has slowly payed me dividends over the years.
My initial problems as a child could have been simply understood, and thus society might have had an even
better Aspie to solve its assorted problems. But Alas, no, One of societies problems is that it victimizes
Aspies, (And anybody whos different, wether its racial, sexist, or merely cognicentric.)
As An Aspie, My Interests were Psychology, World Religions, World History, Sociology, Civil Engineering,
Space Exploration, Political Science, And Education.
So unlike most aspies, my feild of expertise isn't a phone book, or the sound properties of assorted metal
objects, or Tiling Iterations and styles.
My interests derived from a single simple question;
"How do I Help These silly humans See their Nonsensical Game?"
You know ? THAT Game?
The secret supersecret unsecret Game;
Gaffe matrix taboo mind tricks
and social metaprogram bricks
The lines and their meanings and all of those toy soldiers and sides,
a million propaganda warriors and their assorted lies
Pack psychology and brutism and modern technology with
still yet barbaric ethics and morality
Over the years, the Answer has become that i can't focus on the negative;
So i have to instead show that there are problems and offer up solutions.
This then requires of me to learn more about the probelms and solutions
than any mere mortal.
But I am uniquely qualified as an objective alien, sitting outside of the human
psychodynamic circus. To analyze and to filter, to find the most meaningful problem
definitions and the best most useful and most productive solutions.
I am better at this in fact than any government, any think tank, any presidential platform,
any party platform, or any human institution.
Compared to me, NASA is barbaric. I Could show us how to colonize this solar system in the next 50 years.
Compared to me, The department of Defense is an evil anachronistic childs game. I could show us how
to build a military that could stand against an invading alien Civilization, and give us the civil and social
engineering to ensure that we would never again have need to use a military against humans.
I could show us how to create an eductional system which would deliver to each high school graduate an education
equal to what is now 3 Doctorates.
I could show us how to turn the earth back into a green Garden of Eden,
rather than allowing market forces to render her a barren cross between Mars and Venus.
The question has now been for almost 20 years, not wether or not i had the answers, but wether or not
anybody would listen, and wether or not i would be given sufficient chance to stand and deliver.
I am an aspie. I do not want fame. I do not want Public Office. I do not want any relationships with the papparazzi.
I do not want to be crucified, By the Far Right, or the Far left.
What I do want is to lead an open source information resource, available to the public, drawing public support,
Which serves humanity to solve in theory as an open source think tank, the highest order and toughest problems
which confront Humanity.
It is possible through me, and by investing in this effort as a participant, To arrive at a future sociology
and a future society, Not via the course of mere evolutionary process, but by lucid and enlightened design,
by choice and by right action, through a labor of love, we may together climb slowly foreward in possible futures,
Into better quality ones with more and more problems truly resolved, and less and less for anybody to bicker or
complain about.
I allready live in two worlds. One World is as large as the collective unconscious. It is as big as Tiferet,
and as vast as the far corners that might be found using ones merkabah Car. I have visited up the tree of life
and I have seen the places mere mortals never know till after Death. I have seen the simulations in my minds
eye of whole civilizations and space faring explorations, And swam in the collective unconscious of the Metaverses
memories. I have been here; a million times. Poised on the edge of civilization at the cliff of Certain doom,
or a new set of Human Choices. One voice, crying out in the wilderness, one voice, crying out in song. One
knife, cutting the fabric of the paradigm, prometheus, returning from the center of tiferet with the fire of the Gods.
These two worlds, my inner world and the factual outer local planet earth;
The collective unconsciousness of tiferet, and the physically substative Malkut;
I juggle these two world;
And my task is to bring one to meet the other.
To open a portal through which, if we all work, we can pull out, we can fertilize, we can birth
A new direction for our civilization towards a true modernity.
What I want is an open source arists collective;
Together imagining and visualizing and thus starting the potential for creating
A new world and other worlds; Geothermal power, Cable Cars, Arcologies, Permaculture Gardens,
Starships, Robots, Nanotechnology, A functional modern Educational System, A functional modern
Legal System, A functional Modern Human Civilization.
I cannot as one person do everything. I can provide only the blueprints and the foreward facing inferences.
I will need the help of the entire population. Each person changes the world and transforms it by choosing personal evolution
for themselves. I am an Aspie. In a very real poetic sense, I am from 2000 years into your future. But you may
choose via me to manifest a new timeline, and to bring about a future which sprints through 2000 years
of social and civil evolution.
WE can together accomplish in our lifetimes what would not have otherwise been accomplished by humanity in 2000
years.
WE can even (I hope) stretch to consider the possibilities for FTL travel, And to consider exploration and Colonization
of our entire Galaxy.
The universe can be our oyster. But before we go "OUT THERE"
we have to resolve and solve and plan and think "IN HERE".
It can happen via random chaos over 2000 years,
or, it can happen via enlightenment and lucid intention in less than 50.
The choice is up to humanity collectively;
I am about to put my end on the table, to stand and deliver.
That is what this year should be about.

Ask the Awakened by Wei Wu Wei
Terence James Stannus Gray (14 September 1895 – 5 January 1986), better known by the pen name Wei Wu Wei, was a 20th century Taoist philosopher and writer.
Between the years 1958 and 1974 eight books and articles in various periodicals appeared under the pseudonym "Wei Wu Wei" (a Taoist term which translates as action that is non-action). The identity of the author was not revealed at the time of publication for reasons outlined in the Preface to the first book Fingers Pointing Towards the Moon (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1958). Eventually it was revealed that the author had been Terence Gray.
Terence James Stannus Gray was born in Felixstowe, Suffolk, England on 14 September 1895 into a well-established Irish family and was raised on an estate outside Cambridge, England. He received a thorough education at Ascham St Vincent's School, Eastbourne, Eton and Oxford University. Early in life he pursued an interest in Egyptology which culminated in the publication of two books on ancient Egyptian history and culture in 1923. This was followed by a period of involvement in the arts in Britain in the 1920s and 1930's as a theorist, theatrical producer, creator of radical 'dance-dramas', publisher of several related magazines and author of two related books. He was a major influence on many noted dramatists, poets and dancers of the day, including his cousin Ninette de Valois, founder of the Royal Ballet (which in fact had its origins in his own dance troupe at the Cambridge Festival Theatre which he leased from 1926-33).
He maintained his family's racehorses in England and Ireland and in 1957 his horse Zarathrustra won the Ascot Gold Cup, ridden by renowned jockey Lester Piggott in the first of his eleven wins of that race.
After he had apparently exhausted his interest in the theatre, his thoughts turned towards philosophy and metaphysics. This led to a period of travel throughout Asia, including time spent at Sri Ramana Maharshi's ashram in Tiruvannamalai, India. In 1958, at the age of 63, he saw the first of the 'Wei Wu Wei' titles published. The next 16 years saw the appearance of seven subsequent books, including his final work under the further pseudonym 'O.O.O.' in 1974. During most of this later period he maintained a residence with his wife in Monaco. He is believed to have known, among others, Lama Anagarika Govinda, Dr. Hubert Benoit, John Blofeld, Douglas Harding, Robert Linssen, Arthur Osborne, Robert Powell and Dr. D. T. Suzuki. He died in 1986 at the age of 90.

Wei Wu Wei Books BOOKS FOR DREAMERS READY TO WAKE UP
Welcome to the wonderful world of Wei Wu Wei. What there is to know about “reality” is contained in these eight books. I love them all. My copies are dog-eared due to serial reading. As soon as I finish one, it’s on to the next, until I am back to the beginning, only to do it all over again. Why do I do this? Well, his answer would be the dream features me doing that in this dream. There never was a ‘me’ to do anything. When you first read this kind of an answer in his books, your inclination, in the name of resistance, is to think he is being “clever,” or “cute,” or even “metaphorical.” As your reading progresses, however, it begins to dawn on you that he is telling the absolute truth. In his interpretation of Buddhism, there is no relativity. There is no one to sort of be a person. In fact, he makes it very clear that as long as the dreamer retains any investment in the lie it is a ‘real person,’ with a ‘real ego,’ he is no closer to the truth than the day he set sail, in the guise of a ‘seeker,’ determined to discover truth.
The truth is the dream is always what ‘right now’ is; it is always ‘on,’ and it features ‘the dreamers’ mostly using time to play the part of ‘real people’ by pretending they forgot there is no one to be anything at all, let alone a person. The dream precludes the possibility anything is any more real than content in this dream. This dream features ‘the dreamers’ occupying the full spectrum of knowing, from those who know and never forget to those who know and depict ‘not knowing’ so convincingly they are immune to the truth they are dreamers delivering a personhood charade in a dream.
This dream, the one the dreamers, posing as people, refer to as “reality” is not about people. That’s not possible. As Hui Neng said way back in the dream, “from the beginning, not a thing is.” That dreamer wasn’t kidding when he made his statement, and the Buddha wasn’t kidding when he said “all life (in the dream) is about suffering” (because no dreamer can ever be anything but what it is). The same holds true for Wei Wu Wei. The telling of the truth reflects the stages of his awakening in the dream, but by the time you reach the end of the series, he is one with the truth that this Mind-generated dream is all about ‘the dreamers’ and what they do in this dream to pretend to be ‘real people’. Lies can’t cancel truth. No trick, no matter how clever on the dreamer’s part, can turn a dreamer in a dream into any kind of a person. The dream is a cliff hanger because ‘the dreamers’ resist truth and cling to lies as if someone’s life is at stake. This is what most dreamers get to do in this dream. This is ‘the plot’ in this dream, and, because no dreamer can ever be anything but what it is, the option to ‘wake up’ is imminent. You are a dreamer stuck in the fiction you are a person, or you show signs of ‘waking up’ in this dream.
It was from his eight books that this dreamer abstracted the core of his message and put it together as a way of providing dreamers with the reminders they require to let go of who they aren’t so they can enjoy who they are. Bliss includes the acceptance of the fact there is no one to be anything at all because everything can only be content in this dream. There isn’t anyone to have an ‘ego’ to struggle with, or modify. Upstream of the lie the dreamer is a person, it is liberated from the defense of the lie the ego exists. The lie the dreamer is a person depends on the lie someone exists to have one. It is the seeing of this clearly that elicits a smile, then a laugh and finally a crescendo of humor that triggers the endless ripple of ‘understanding.’

Post subject: Re: Enlightenment, thereof Post You picked an interesting choice for forum to follow up on my request to post on what used to be your signature.
Sometimes I wonder at the way that they word things and think of better ways to express them,
and other times I'm not sure that its quite correct.
What I would say is that what is is a pattern, a hologram, a great cosmic song of fractal scalar equations. I don't think that calling it a "dream" is very productive for understanding it. At least not to
science or the western mind. Every time I have ever experienced the absolute has left me deeply shaken and humbled, awakened to the vastness of what truly is and my non significance in it, renders one psychologically small, like a tiny bird or a toddler. True relating with the ALL of WHAT IS is much like looking out at the ocean or up at the stars. Do it long enough and you can't help but be reminded how
small you are. The difference is that relating to the absolute if that happens occurs via the self cleared as a sounding board; ones own consciousness as a single eyeball. Or Ear. That can't happen so long as there is a self concept or an ego, because maintaining those illusions or psychological conditions is not silence.
What is real is that we are micro manifestations of the great master pattern; and we are holographically linked to the whole of the pattern. There is no true individuality because of the myraids of ways in which all things are interconnected. Selfishness is built into human instinct, but that is truly merely the predisposition of the animal and nothing more. Beyond that urge and outside of self hood or self concept, what we truly are is merely echoes of the initial scalar fractal equation, and we are not separate from each other or from the universe at all. The earth, the sun, the moon the stars; we are it.
What one stands to gain in terms of self concept is infinity, but only if the old self concept dies. The new self concept is that each of us is a god that does not exist; a face of the whole cosmos.
Consciousness in an individual is itself holographic and holomorphic, and our personal consciousness is a drop experiencing separation from the ocean. But we are the ocean. We are suspended in it, and we experience difference from it, but consciousness is an infinite and unbound waveform that merely stops
for a planck instant upon us before continuing to ripple outward. In this sense, consciousness is a ripple
in that ocean and our bodies experience consciousness only because secondary ripples form as consciousness refracts off of the animal mind. We are stones in the water. Consciousness bounces off of us. The physical self is experiencing consciousness or self because of this, and the animal mind chooses to interpret it the opposite of how it actually is; by internalizing it narccistically. But if we can embrace the truth that consciousness is actually outside not inside, we can learn to ride those ripples or those waves; to become far vaster than the rock or the body upon which those waves are crashing.
This can create trans mortal perspective. Once a person achieves it the beginning of the journey to ixtlan starts. Once you begin to identify with who and what we really are rather than the illusion or delusion of the animal mind, all other illusions become increasingly transparent, and because the vast majority of people are fixated on illusions, they are in a sense phantasmagorical. They cannot be real,
they cannot be solid, they cannot relate to reality or experience it, and they operate out of selfishness
and egotism and pack psychology when this can only in the long run cause themselves suffering.
On the other hand, enlightenment under such a definition is itself no piece of cake or walk in the park, because suddenly everyone else is infantile and alien, and even tho you are the one whos capable of going egoless, everybody else will accuse you of egotism if you try to explain to them they they are living in a delusional reality which only you can observe.
Its a sort of catch 22. They can't hear it, they can't see it, they can't know it, but they are sure and certain that their version of reality is real and that your version is crackpotted.
Welcome to America. It's campaign season, and the financial sector is melting down in front of our eyes. Congress' hair is on fire, and it's poised to pass one of the worst taxpayer rip-offs in history.
In the midst of the craziness, Barack Obama is offering up rhetorical cotton candy. "This plan cannot be a welfare program for Wall Street executives," he said. An independent board should be established to "provide oversight and accountability at every step of the way." We shouldn't use the money "to pad CEOs' salaries or allow them to walk away with golden parachutes," he said.
All very risky positions to take.
But at least Obama is saying the right things, even if he's doing so with maddening vagueness.
His opponent is nothing short of incoherent. Last week, John McCain said the "fundamentals of the economy are sound," but by Tuesday, he thought we were facing a "historic national crisis" and looking at "the potential collapse of our financial system." The San Francisco Chronicle called McCain out on his "nearly daily vacillations in reacting to the financial crisis, one day calling for Securities and Exchange Commission chief Chris Cox to resign, the next calling him a 'good man;' opposing a bailout of insurance giant AIG one day and supporting it the next."
Yes, it's campaign season in America, the nation is in crisis, and the Democrats and Republicans are as likely to do the right thing for "Main Street" -- the catchphrase of the day -- as Sarah Palin is to be invited to join Mensa.
But imagine for a moment that we lived in a country with good, progressive governance. We wouldn't find ourselves in our current pickle, but if we did, what might a real bailout plan based on just a little bit of economic justice look like?
In short, it would be based on trickle-up economics. We'd bail out homeowners whose mortgages are on the bubble, and by doing so, the cash we were injecting into the economy would trickle up to ailing financial institutions.
Think about it. The problems our economy is facing are these:
* Millions of Americans have real estate that's worth less than their mortgage, or close to it, and a great number of those are the mortgage equivalent of crack: They started out cheap -- the banks were the dealers -- but now have ballooning monthly payments that have people between a rock and a hard place. Some people who find themselves in that position were completely irresponsible speculators, some were purely the victims of predatory lending, and most fall somewhere in between.
* After decades of deregulation -- a bipartisan affair -- the banks weaved together an absolutely incomprehensible mix of securities to back these loans -- derivatives, sold and resold time and again, and insurance-like swaps to supposedly back those securities against default. Now they hold an enormous shit pile of bad paper that's pretty much impossible to understand, much less value. Fearing extinction from all these mortgages going belly-up, they're starting to hoard their cash, and that's tightening credit everywhere and threatening the economy as a whole.
The plan developing in Washington is to take that bad paper off the banks' balance sheets so they stop holding onto their cash like your penny-pinching aunt.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell -- there's talk of re-regulating the financial sector, but few people who pay attention to Congress' doings will hold their breaths waiting for anything substantial on that front.
A progressive bailout would look very different. It would relieve the banks of their burden by buying up mortgages from working people in trouble, rather than giving hundreds of billions to those who are most responsible for getting us into this crisis in the first place.
It would establish a fund to buy homes at high risk of foreclosure and retire the debt owed on them to the banks. The government would then offer the homeowner a new long-term fixed mortgage at a low rate. It could even offer a discounted rate for homeowners at the lower end of the income scale. Imagine that: a little bit of socialism for the poor rather than for the richest.
The government would only purchase mortgages that are at risk of foreclosure, and homeowners would have to prove that they were really struggling to make their payments to be eligible for the program.
The program could begin bailing out only owner-occupied homes, and if that didn't loosen up the credit markets adequately, then it could be expanded to save some properties owned by speculators.
We'd pay for the program with a short-term surtax on, say, the top 5 percent of the income ladder, along with new fees on the transfer of securities.
Of course, over the long term, a lot more would need to be done. We'd re-establish the regulatory framework of the Glass-Steagall Act, the New Deal-era legislation that forced financial institutions to choose between investment banking and commercial lending.
We'd also tinker with the tax code and our trade policy in order to make the "speculative sector" of the economy less attractive to investors and beef up the productive "nuts and bolts" economy that created the American middle class (for more on this issue, see " Meltdown and Bailout: Why Our Economic System Is on the Verge of Collapse").
Another cause of the recession, one that few are discussing, is that wages for all but the top earners haven't kept up with the real cost of inflation, including health care, energy, food and education, and that's impacted not only people's ability to make their mortgage payments, but also their consumer spending. By buying distressed homes instead of paper and refinancing people's mortgages, working people would end up with more cash in hand after covering their monthly note to spend on dinners and movie tickets and wide-screen TVs.
In the longer term, we'd pass other measures to "flatten" the economy -- raising the minimum wage to a living wage, enforcing it, and limiting the amount of executive pay firms could write off to, say, 50 times what the lowest wage-slave was making. (This isn't some radical notion; it would simply be a return to normalcy. In the early 1980s, before our corporate execs started making rock star money, top CEOs took home 30 to 40 times what their workers were making; last year they grabbed 344 times as much as their workers, according to the annual Executive Excess report.)
Those would be longer-term projects for after the election. But for now, having the government spend those hundreds of billions of dollars buying up properties rather than dubious securities would be a bailout that keeps families in their homes and loosens the credit markets but doesn't reward Wall Street's wheeler-dealers for their recklessness.

By special request i am reposting this on my blog. I have a new BBS up and Its already got better answers for half a dozen issues than any presidential platform has ever had.
I'm looking for smart folks with a problem solving attitude to bring up more notches and to actually make a difference in the world by
creating the forum from which the revolution can operate.
Obama or etc can only be good as the information he has, and that information is mostly garbage because washington is full of lies and liars.
Hes not a sociologist or a civil engineer, or etc, hes a lawyer and a politician. And that means that if we want REAL solutions to our real problems we are going to have to do this ourselves.

if jesus was alive today to tell us what he thinks, what would he say?
If he suddenly snatched RUSHes microphone from limbo, what would he tell us about the current state of things,
and how to solve our problems?
Would he encourage us to go slandering and trying to sub slander a person via "guilt by association tactics?"
Would he condone the war in iraq? A war for oil and profit? A war for halliburton?
Would jesus be on the side of the dems on every issue? Or as they try to convince us, on the side of the republicans?
And who do the republicans represent? Big corporate money interests. Anti union. Pro cheap labor. Pro slavery,
pro jim crow, pro segregation. Pro sexism, pro inequality.
Pro devisive wedge issues that have nothing to do with solving real world problems.
Propaganda con artists, soaking up the allegation that they are morally superior, when in fact, they are parasites
feeding off of the Ghost of Jesus and using Jesus to justify mass hypnosis against everything that Jesus actually
stood for.
The republican pundits are provable professional liars and propaganda warfare artists. Faux news is not fair and unbalanced,
it is orwellian doublethink propaganda warfare, it is commiting treason against this country via crimes against
truth and information, and all of its property should be seized and all of its accounts drained by the governement
and those assets put in a public trust to some university some where that can safeguard those assets for the purposes
of public education, not propaganda wars.
Using formal conversational logic;( which is available in textbook form and the key points of which are
venn diagrams, ad hominem arguments, straw man arguments, and four statment theory and group theory or set
theory) The arguments, the content, the entire load of BS that we get from these people can be demonstrated to
be lies, overgeneralizations, obvious logical fallacies, exagerations, distortions, and so on and so forth.
Now this is the trick and the problem. Most people are too psychologuically lazy to sort out propaganda from
truth. And this is why those of us who are fighting for something need only educate ourselves enough to be
empowered enough to see the truth as the fire of light we carry within us; and which we seek, and which we use as
a lens through which to view reality. The power of truth starts with knowledge. The more knowledge you have,
the mor epower you have to think clearly. Thus everybody should be reading sociology textbooks and civil engineering
textbooks, and ignoring the wright controversy whilst we collectively dig in to the course of right action and
right intention and our moral and ethical responsibilities to truth.
If we focus; we can swat down all of these flies and manufactured distractions with ease, and we can rise above
it all and beging to be the change we wish to see by embodying the truth within ourselves and then being
the problem solvers, not just the partipant spectators in a horse race. Our power to effect the outcome hinges
on our power to take it upon ourselves to direct the conversation.
Away from the manufactureed distractions, always to the higher ground, always back to the center of truth.

Matthew 5
The Beatitudes
1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor ,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of
evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven,
for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives
light to everyone in the house.
16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may
see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
The Fulfillment of the Law
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish
them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest
letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is
accomplished.
19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do
the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these
commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I tell you that unless your
righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will
certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Murder
21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,[a] and
anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who
is angry with his brother[b]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to
his brother, 'Raca,[c]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!'
will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your
brother has something against you,
24leave your gift there in front of the altar.
First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
33"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath,
but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.'
34But I tell you, Do not swear at all:
either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and
your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
An Eye for an Eye
38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[g]
39But I tell you,
Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42Give to the one who asks you,
and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Love your Enemies
43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.'
44But I tell you: Love your enemies[i] and pray for those who persecute you,
45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise
on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the
tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you
doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore,
as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 6
Giving to the Needy
1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them.
If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites
do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth,
they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let
your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in
secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Prayer
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing
in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth,
they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room,
close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees
what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling
like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.[j]' 14For if you forgive men when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.
Fasting
16"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their
faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward
in full. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so that it
will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is
unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Treasures in Heaven
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal.
20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For
where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full
of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.
If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body,
what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single
hour to his life[k]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown
into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying,
'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after
all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom
and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 7
Judging Others
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be
judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank
in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,'
when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of
your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample
them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Seek, Knock
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10Or if he asks for a fish, will
give him a snake?
11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
12So in everything,
do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,
and only a few find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes,
or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does
not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who
does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did
we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man
who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat
against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But
everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man
who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
-----------------------
Are we ready to throw our civilization away via spin doctors mocking jesus?
Or are we ready to remember what he actually stood for, and rebuild our house?
"It is easier for a camel to fit through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven"
Corinthians 13; intentionally mistranslated modernly from "Charity" to "Love"?
Why? Because the rich like having a middle, a top, and a bottom.
But what is possible is the end of poverty, and everybody living in a high class upper middle.
those who want to hold things shut like the problems in society because thats where they get their power;
the entropy is their doorway to proffit from chaos.
Rush limbo (for example) is as evil as they come, and is self admissory about it in the3 most obvious ways.
operation chaos. So. What side uses which energy? Order and Chaos. Light and Dark. Good and Evil.
What is Rush confessing? Hes on the side of evil. And 10 thousand at a time will do his bidding,
even tho he is laughing at them, tricking them, and cuing those in who are smart enough to pay attention;
flipping his defiant bird even at those who understand him to be an incarnated lesser demon. Hes got operation

for propaganda warfare, enslavement of the middle class and poor, and contemptous professional blasphemy.

Pan is quite a mind, wrapped in a very kind person, I'm glad to have met him, he has done nothing but push me (unknowing to him) to want to learn more and make more mental connections about my surroundings. He makes me want to better myself, and for that he will in ALL-WaYs be welcome to live in and help design our mountain-top commune. Don't forget your books if the world ends, we will need those "to eliminate consensus validation thru deep knowledge.." I love that(LOL)
Keep a light heart,
We are in this together.

i've said as much before & i'll say it again: holder of advanced degrees in geekery, nerditude, & righteous dudeology, Pan the man with the plan does all he can! :)
Get eight freinds together and try it.
If you practice only a few hours, you should start having at the very
least an awesome choral group. And if you go on for a while,
you should start making transitions into Theta states of consciousness.
This is called Glossolia.
It is a reconstruction based on an intrinsic understanding of several
key principles about how mind works. I won't try to explain why it works,
I will just tell you that it does.
(after you have tried it and want to understand it, come on back to me
once you have the experience that will make my explanation make sense to you.)
The internal dialogue structure of Theta States of consciousness is harmonic-
musical. We know this as people often experience "hearing a chorus of Angels"
when a Theta condition is induced.
Drumbeats at the same cycles per second as a given state are powerful cues
that can help us to enter altered states of consciousness.
The following is a methodology for entering Theta states of consciousness, designed
by yours truly.

Trybl Vortx Part Two, The Prequal.
Drummers Parlance.
In theory, the Trybl Vortx system by itself should work fine.
It is an absolute
description of the variables involved, and a total solution.
In practice,
singing like angels is too hard.
The requisite skill, or understanding involved
is too far removed from human experience.
Thus, we have "Drummers Parlance", Both a pre-quel game, and a description of a
very specific form of communication.
Drummer's parlance is simply the communication verbally of a pattern or
patterns, which can then receive tonal or musical counterparts. Drummers'
parlance in the strictest sense is non-tonal, or rhythm only. Sounds are
representations of various durations of time.
The duration of time covered by a "A" is a .1 amount of time. The duration of a
"Ta" is.2 duration of time. The duration of a "Ka, or a "Te" is also a .2
representation of time. Then a "Toom" is a .3 duration of time. These
definitions can be stretched, but the general idea is there.
Then, those kinds of syllables are arranged to count time in pattern. The
pattern repeats, and that is what gives us a "Full measure" of time.
For instance:
Tecka Tecka Toom Toom Te Ka Toom Ta La Toom Teck Teck Ta Ta
Tecka Toooma Tecka Ta Te Ka Ta Tooma la Teck Toom Teck la
Ta Tecka Ta Toom Ta Ta Ta La Tecka Tecka Ta Tooma Ta Ta Ta
Toooma Toooma Ta Ta Ta Toom Ta Toom Ta La La Ta Tooma Ta La
Elata Ta Lata Eee La Ta Ee Lata Tooma Ala La Ee La Tecka Tecka
Tee Tooma Tee Tooma Ta Ta Tecka Tooma Elata Tao Teck Toom Tecka Tao
Ticka Ticka Tock Tao Ticka Tooma Tock Toom
Tick Tock Tao Tao Ticka Tao Tecka

--- editing note; this was actually cut by the hosting site, and some information is missing
here, but its probably fine without it.---------------------------------------------
This gets us to 29. I am going to go with the idea that you get my point
before
I count to a thousand.
The point is that we have now created 100 "phrases" if we count that high,
which
are one or two beats long. The Lengths of the various beats is variable and
is
the most interesting part of all of this. If we say that it all just goes
from 1
to ten, then Tao-Aum is 13 counts. Rhythms we feel comfortable with are
at their
simplest 3 beats long. The heartbeat is Ta-silence-Doom. More complex rhythms
go
up into the 20 beat range but not much higher. Any set pattern should repeat
within 20 beats or the human mind won't be able to comprehend it.
Tecka Tecka Toom Toom is six beats, and in the time of the second exploration,
4,1,4,1,5,5 counts long. 20 counts. A pattern at 23 beats;
Tecka Tecka Toom Toom Elati Tati Toom Toom Tecka Tecka Elati Tati Toom.
With a count of 4,1,4,1,5,5,2,1,2,2,2,2,5,5,4,1,4,1,1,2,2,5 for sub- total of
10, 10,11,10,10,10. And a total of 61 counts.
So the point of all of this is to get a mental picture of what is possible for
different kinds of rhythm patterns.
The Idea of drummers parlance is that I should be able to say to a drummer,
"Give me: Tecka Tecka Toom Toom, Elati Tati Toom Tao" And have them go, "Give
that to me three times." And I Go "Tecka Tecka Toom Toom, Elati Tati Toom Tao
Tecka Tecka Toom Toom, Elati Tati Toom Tao Tecka Tecka Toom Toom, Elati Tati
Toom Tao Tecka Tecka Toom Toom, Elati Tati Toom Tao" And Then They are doing
it
with me, and it sounds good, because we are both in the same pattern.
Then, I can play my flute inside of the pattern of the drummer, and the next
thing you know, we sound like a rocking duet.
That's only part one of Drummers parlance and it's the most interesting half.
The other half is even more annoying and more like an exercise but it really
works.
This other half is basically as simple as "counting time."
123123123123123123123123123123123
123,123,123,123,123,123,123,123,123
12341234123412341234123412341234
1234,1234,1234,1234,1234,1234,1234,
12345, 12345,12345,
12,1234,123,123,1234,
123,12,123,1234, 12,
And so forth on and on into infinity.
By learning Drummers Parlance, we are learning to think in the kinds of patterns
that we have to use later on in Tick Tock Tao.

The rest becomes a question of what you are trying to express.
The answer is of
course that you are trying to express an emotion,
which is really just a state
of consciousness.
Realizing this, we are looking at 4 states of consciousness,
and realizing that certain tempos,
beats, and tones describe each of these
states. Thus, music can be created specifically to harmonize the individual
into
a given state of consciousness.
(But this hasn't been done as far as I know yet, only frauds have tried it,
people who had no real understanding of states of consciousness, or not
enough
skill.)
Where do we go from here? We start a pattern, and we show how any such
pattern
evolves musically and harmonically,
how slow beats have within them the seeds of
faster beats and how fast beats are tied to slower beats.
Using the eight roles,
any given pattern can become a total song.
The entire process is in a sense best accomplished in a large group of people.
The 4 track is a great tool, but we don't have 20 earphones
and 20 plug-ins for
those earphones for 20 people to participate in recording.
So we get the people
singing first, and then once we are really rocking we make our first sample
recording. Then, if we want to, we take that to the 4 track and add in whatever
we want to. Since we don't have 20 people, the best thing to do is to go with as
many as we can get.
The main thing is that everybody has to do his or her homework.
They have to get
a real sense of what we are doing away from it all.
They have to actually read
the form. Otherwise it's just playing around.
The other thing is we have to have
an understanding that we approach things from a very serious level at first.
Sure it leads into fun, but without focus it disintegrates into noise.
I'd love to be able to hang out for 60 years and play with everybody, but I
can't afford to. What has to happen instead is people have to take responsibly
and seriously the information I am giving them for 30 minutes at a time a few
times a week, and then in a week or two it will be the Angelic Choir.
And then we can release the forms and the structure as just a tool that got us
to the place of being able to play at a more sophisticated level.
Thank you for your time and energy. May peace love and light win within us all.

>TRYBL VORTX (Part One)
Tick Tock Tao
Is a specific form for improvisational singing with a group of people.
Using
this structure, We move from simple to complex, with each individual
adding
another level of complexity. By attuning very specifically to the pattern
as it
all ready exists, we evolve the pattern without loosing each other.
Thus we can
be together as long as we use the structure.
The Idea here is that we have modeled the timing and harmonics relationships
that naturally exist with each other, and come up with "parts" or "roles"
that
reflect these relationships. Then, we model the natural evolutionary path
of a
pattern, as it moves from complexity to simplicity, and we find that in
essence,
these roles have an order to them in terms of who follows who and what
follows
what.
In reality Tick Tock Tao is thus nothing new. It is simply a way of
organizing
things that are well understood all ready. When we look at Tribal
cultures all
over the world (or what is left of them after being effected by the global
hive...) We find that they have very specific formats for social
interaction in
different states of consciousness. Whereas we, the global hive,
have protocols
structure or format for existing in only one state of consciousness.
The words "Tick Tock Tao" are culled from inside of a trance space.
The entire
sequence was at one time used as a trance cue to enter a specific state of
consciousness. The meaning of the words is as follows. Tick refers to time.
Visualize a clock. Music is all about time and timing relationships.
Rhythm is
in a sense just various ways of counting time.
Tock has a double meaning, including Talk. Talking, communicating.
Tick Tock Tao
is a way of learning to communicate musically, rather than a way of creating
entertainment. We try to treat music from the very different perspective of the
shaman. We have two hemispheres in our brain, and one side is verbal while the
other is musical. The fact of our attunement to pitch and the ability of our
voices to sing indicates that at one point in time in human history, we sang to
each other as a form of communication
I have taken this presupposition one step further, and have tried to understand
how music can be used as a genuine shamans tool for facilitating altered states
of consciousness. Specifically, in Theta states of consciousness, Those states
associated with spiritual experience and perception of subtle levels of reality,
we can expect the human animal to have communicated musically, rather than
phonetically. The reason is simple and is about personal experience.
In Deep Theta states, the energy of the electrical impulses in the brain comes
into phase. Millions of signals that in Beta states of consciousness are just
going off in their own way in their own time and their own direction all
suddenly come together "in phase" or in harmony. The hum that is experienced is
audible to the ear, as the electrical output of the brain no longer scatters
itself in patterns of interference but amplifies itself in patterns of sustained
harmony.

Tao refers to the idea that we are indeed changing our state of consciousness
through the use of this exercise. Specifically, we are moving from the yang
waking state to the yin waking state. Thus, the Tao of consciousness is
spinning.
The entire poem:
"Tick Talk Tao" said the Druid to the Drow,
"Be here now and keep your vow to remember.
Do you remember, before you were born?
Leaping through the barley and dancing in the corn?"
"Tick Tock Tao" Said the Faery in the Tree
To the Cave monk sentinel of the cave monk Key
"It's the birds and the bees and the omens I see
That opens the portal of perception to me.
(The poem is an instruction for the ego wall to disintegrate allowing the memory
of pre-mortal existence to come into consciousness.)
Drummers Parlance
Tick, Tock, Ti, Ta, Tia, Ticka, Tocka, Toom, Tooma, are all sounds that are used
in verbal communications of drummers' patterns. This is called "Drummers
Parlance" and is a reality model that was presented to me by a master drummer.
The drumming in the community in which I was operating vastly improved as he
introduced the idea to us.
The Essential Idea
The idea is simple. We can communicate the drum patterns verbally and
phonetically. If we can't do that, we shouldn't be drumming. (At least according
to him.)
The reason is that verbal and phonetic communication proves that understanding
exists about pattern. Otherwise there isn't necessarily and in fact true
understanding. Most drum circles are very chaotic and a-synchronized to the
trained ear.
Instructions
In Tick Tock Tao, there are eight roles. The roles are organized into "Alpha"
and "Beta." Which means "Leader" and "follower." (To some degree. As you will
see, the relationship between Alpha and Beta oftentimes gives the Beta more
freedom and more responsibility too.) The role types are Aummer, Drummer,
Singer, and Whisperer.
These roles represent the natural evolution of pattern. We go from tone, to
rhythm, to song, and out away from order into chaos. Thus, the Aummers start,
and are given time to warm up, then the Drummers Start, and are given time to
warm up, then the singers start, and are given time to warm up, and then the
whisperers start. Nobody is really waiting for them, at least not until level
two.
The Whisperers have a special role. They perform slowly the evolutionary path
of all three other types of roles. When they finish, if the groove is still
going, the Aummers become Whisperers. They get to drum, and then sing, adding
their own parts to the more

complex pattern. Once the Aummers have been singing for a while, The drummers
should feel free to sing also.
In this way, the pattern evolves into complexity.
On the other hand, especially while we are learning how to do Tick Tock Tao,
what will often happen is that the pattern will start to break apart. The
Whisperers are the pattern police. If the pattern starts to fly apart, their job
is to make sure that it flies apart completly, blows itself open wide, and thus,
the energy is released.
Even really rocking grooves must eventually come to an end, and it is the
whisperers job to raise the energy out into chaos and celebration. That way a
new groove can start.
I have written role cards to make this very easy. Each person receives a role
card. (If there are more than eight people, buddy up with the person next to
you, unless that person is a singer, in which case, play drummers.)
Tick Tock Tao in the most formal sense does things the hard way by going from
toning to rhythm. It may be easier to start out with a simple pattern of some
kind.
Alpha Aummer
Everything begins with you. You breathe deep and hold a base tone.
For three full breaths, The Beta Aummer matches you. The Beta Aummer Tones the
same tone exactly, and covers you while you breathe. Then The Beta Aummer picks
a new tone, and the two of you take turns. When the drumming starts, you will
begin oscillating between the first tone and the second tone, for the duration
of a full measure. For instance, the drummer will say
"Ticka Ticka tocka teck toom tock
doon" The drummer will do this over and over, and you will tone for the duration
of that pattern a single tone and then another single tone, back and forth. As
things evolve, you can bring in more single tones for the full measure of that
pattern. Eventually, once the singers are really going, you can chop the pattern
into smaller chunks and tone for the duration of those.
Your part may be boring for you, but remember, you are helping everyone else
keep time.
In level two of the game, you will pass your card on and receive a new card, and
a new role. Maintain your old role until you fully understand your new role.
Then switch roles.
Remember to listen to the tone the Beta Aummer gives you, and try to take turns
breathing and toning with them. (Take your breathe on a given beat.)
Beta Aummer.
You will listen to the alpha aummer, and support them by mimicking what they do
exactly at first. However, you will soon begin to take turns breathing, and as
you explore that single first tone that the song is based on, you will choose
personally a second new tone that is 5 or seven or nine or some number that works
well distant from the first tone in terms of whole notes. (Thus forming a sort
of master structure of high note and low note between the two of you.)
You should probably consider range here as the most important factor, the alpha
aummer is going to pick a tone that is comfortable for their voice. You are going
to match that tone exactly, or find a resonance with it an octave below or above.
When you change over to a new tone, you want to be in a place that is comfortable
for your voice.
In the first level of the game, i am sorry to say that your role may be somewhat
dull for you, as you will simply take turns going back and forth with the alpha aummer,
one of you breathing deeply in while the other Aumms.
However, be assured that you are holding the root of the experience together and
that you give the structure the stability it needs. Everybody is listening to the two
of you to keep time by.
Alpha Drummer.
You will pick the primary beat structure for the song. You will chop the two tones
each into several peices, listening to both the alpha and beta aummers. To do this
it may help to closely reveiw the preveiw material for the exercise regarding beat
structures. The two Aummers are going to create a whole phrase going back and forth
between them;
"AUMMMMMMMMMMM, aummmmmmmmmmmmmm"
your response, for instance, might be;
"teka teka ta ta, teka teka tooma"
You want to keep it pretty doable and not very complicated, a sort of slower beat, so that
the beta Aummer can add in a faster version of what you are doing with more syllables.
Beta Drummer.
You will listen to the alpha aummer, and notice that the beat is kind of slow. You may be
pciked for this job because you are found to be really good at drumming. This is
a key role and one thats easy to make a mess of, so it is important to be on it.
You have on the other hand one of the funner roles. You get to chop the longer beat
into several more beats, in the above example,
the aummers are doing a
"AUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, aummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
alpha drummer response, for instance, might be;
"teka teka ta ta, teka teka tooma"
your response might be;
"teketititeka tati tati tekati tekatiti toomata"

Alpha Singer
You listen to the Alpha Drummer, whose pattern is slower than the beta drummer.
You listen to the tones created by the Aummers. You Mimic the Alpha drummer
until you are sure you have the pattern. Then, you begin to add tones. Your
first tone should be the same as the alpha Aummers, and your last tone should be
the same as the beta Aummer. Next, you fill in that rhythm with tones. You
create a song that becomes the master tonal pattern. If level two is achieved,
your choices become the
Underlying pattern that everyone else follows in the creation of song.
Remember that you are listening to two elements and blending them. You are
listening to the rhythm first, to pick it up, and then to the tones the Aummers
are using, so that it all stays in harmony and key.
Synthesizing these two levels is the hardest job in Tick Tock Tao and one that
it can't work without. If you end up feeling overwhelmed by the task,
Switch roles with somebody else.
The difficulty of this job is made easier in that your song is with the slow
beat, not the fast one. This is very key to your success. Pay attention only to
the Alpha Drummer,
Not the Beta Drummer.
Beta Singer
You listen to the Alpha Singer. They will be singing a slow song. You mimic
their song until you are certain that you have it. You will notice that they are
in beat with the alpha drummer and in tone with the Aummers. Put your attention
next on the Beta Drummer, who is your pal. They are doing a beat that is faster
than the Alpha Drummer. Separating yourself now psychologically from the alphas,
follow the same pattern you have but bring more beats into it and evolve it so
that it is in time with the faster tempo.
This skill is all about taking the singing pattern and adding "flams" and
"perks' to it. If the long pattern is going "Teck Tooma" while the fast pattern
is going "Elata Ladoonta"
Then you are simply adding two syllables. Maybe its "TaTaTa Tooma
Tecka Tooma" for the fast pattern. Now you are essentially multiplying two by
three, three syllables for each of the main two.
Each Of the Alpha singers tones becomes the base note in a chord.
You are filling in the rest of the notes to form a whole chord.
Whisperers
As a Whisperer you mimic the Aummers. This is your chief job, but of all the
jobs, your job changes the most. If the pattern makes it to a full on groove,
with the beta singer completely in for a while, you go ahead and begin to evolve
along the path. Spending time now slowly with each of the other roles, you mimick
each of the others in turn until you arrive back at your own space after the beta singer.
this re-enforces the assorted roles, you act as a sort of back up singer that
helps hold the groove together. Your job over all is actually the role of the
mechanic, if somethings a little off, your job is to attempt to fix it. But if its
unfixable, your job is to scrap it for a new start.
Other than that, you also get the fun job of adding interest. Animal noises,
poetic babble, (actual language engades the verbal mind and should be totally avoided
for the entire exercise) and other such things are the spices you can throw in for
emphasis and variety.
The Alpha whisperer should focus on the alpha roles and the beta whisperer should focus on
the beta roles.
------------------------
This all applies to telepathy rather directly, as the art of MIMICKRY that you have to employ,
of listening to the group, of not letting your ego interere, but rather,
giving over to the true center, these are all the same skills you need for telepathy.
Further, if you attain theta this way, in a social environment, two things will happen.
1. You will be able to hear the angelic choir
2. You will have limited telepathy with the people you are doing it with.
Good luck.
If ANYBODY actually takes me seriously and does it, you could have profound
results in only the next few hours.
I have for myself eight cards, on which I have the eight roles written down.
Thats a great way to go, as then you can switch roles without even talking about it.

I take you quite seriously, and I am going to have to print these posts out so that I have them
permanently.
However, it will be days before I can attempt to do the actual process, not a few hours, sorry.
Thank you for so much detail.
One question, just so I am clear, I need to be sure to gather seven people together,
or may it be a number less than eight including myself?
Respectfully,
Denise

There are eight roles in the game as described, I think about four is the bare
essential absolute minimum. There is no real maximum,
but you will have to work out organizing it yourself.
You can easilly have two or three people fill each role.
Group them together of course, and make sure they follow each other.
Best of luck!!
And thank you so very much for getting to it at all!!
The real take off for this area will be the results you achieve.
two more weeks for the area and counting...

Thanks for the info. It clarified some experiances and gives me something to work on.
I'm having a great time trying to keep up on all this.
Now I just need to expand time so to include practice. K
