Goodie, old to you, new to me. ce'st la vie. Takes a while to perculate around.
Knew Systems
Theory, but this is a fresh use of it. I like Flemming Funch attempting to
provide others with
a purpose and that's what the new paradigm is into. Some want to design a new
culture but it
has to co-create itself self-organisingly to suit our liquorice all sorts
humanity. All futures
lack shape.
I dreamt last night summing it as art is Ambiguation. It started with an artist
changing a cube
into a distorted oblong and that again into another shape, when it popped up
that art is, I
forget the label, and then went into a tiki tour of many kinds of art to end up
with
ambiguation which is pure creativity. Yes, of course some of it is useful and
some not at all.
That's the way the cookie crumbles. Hebrew Kabalah has that wordplay by using
the numbers
values of letters, I forget the label, done that over yonks ago, old hat now.
There's another one behind this. I hold to serendipity, whether guided by
aetheric spirits or
our own mind, no difference there. For a while I've been bored with the
repetition of our
lives, controlled by manic politics who want us all the same, the easier to
manipulate us.
That's not going to keep going soon enough. There's another one behind that me
wanting to
understand how the world works, I do now and as I am a freak into learning or
evolving, take
your pick, it took me forty years or thereabouts to bag that lot. So what's
next? I sure hope
it's not yogic nirvana or Zen's eating rice, wash bowl. Ok so Zen stops us from
not going like
Georges who in his own fashion is still but another parrot. It's not useful to
call folks
asinine crap tsunamis. It gets them irritated, though not in my case, haha. If
Georges would
stop crapping on parrots, proving them wrong and do something original, etcccc.
If he was in a
monastery they'd probably put him to dish washing or gardening. He's creative,
well some,
sorry, but lacks enough nous.
In a way that's how Jung found when helping his patients re-script
their psyche, which he made
them draw in mandalas. The mandalas disappeared into zilch and re-emerged in a
new form.
Eastern sand drawings are mandalas. This newly emergent insight shows us it's
an infinite point
that can radiate out into all manner of dimensions, oops forms. In my dream,
among other
things, is buried an intent to find a listing of the qualities or attributes of
the so-called
object. Cannot be done, it's infinite. And yes, if you want to distinguish
what's useful that
again is playing goodies and baddies as it has to suit and serve a society at
large which again
sounds like having to be managed by wiseacres. I dunno but don't like that
much. My view is
that running a society has to think globally and act locally at a same time as
we need internet
etc blahh, although quite changed from how it works now. I sure won't go like
Georges, blasting
anything which cannot play his games. Peeved because no playmates in his
sandpit. What the
object being infinite implies is that what is claimed for the aliens that they
can peer into
past and future is they know the algorithm for it and bingo. There's a scene in
E.E. Smith, aka
Paul Linebarger, Lensmen series where he makes an Arisian do that.As a whole
it's his
interpretation of how evolution works.
Some of this we can do this in graphics geometrically or psychedelically. When
I was initiated
by a Lama, their request, not mine. I went to their ?party", wandered around
aimlessly. In
storms lala and hangers on, up the stairs. That's It, I thought it won't
happen. Went into the
kitchen for another fruitjuice. The ceiling opened up, Lama drops down, makes
mudras, mumbles
mantras; So the Geshe who invited me stands there and smiles at me. So I left.
Every now and
then the Lama has a psychic peek at me. Has not for a while now.
Yonks ago I tried to teach creativity, got blocked. Got blocked a lot in my
life, so pleased
it's going to change at last. I've been working on it more than a couple of
Centuries. Val
whatever her name, has it that re-incarnation comes in two kinds, 1 is psychic
and well
equipped to be successful. They remember past lives. 2 Others like my ilk,
don't know any past
lives, working on a next level, aka avatars, knocking new pathways in the
aether or plasma
levels. If I had not got excited and mentioned it, this would not have happened.
