Events that when they occurred had seemed accidental and of little moment turn out to have been indispensable factors in the composition of a consistent plot.

So who composed that plot? Schopenhauer suggests that just as your dreams are composed by an aspect of yourself of which your consciousness is unaware, so, too, your whole life is composed by the will within you. And just as people whom you will have met apparently by mere chance became leading agents in the structuring of your life, so, too, will you have served unknowingly as an agent, giving meaning to the lives of others.

The whole thing gears together like one big symphony, with everything unconsciously structuring everything else. And Schopenhauer concludes that it is as though our lives were the features of the one great dream of a single dreamer in which all the dream characters dream, too; so that everything links to everything else, moved by the one will to life which is the universal will in nature" Joseph Campbell

Time
youtu.be/zw6hS_gy9MY

Kairos

Ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time between, a moment of indeterminate time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature

There are also parallels with classical relativity theory, in which time and space are merged into "spacetime", and time is not absolute and independent but is dependent upon the motion of the observer

A pure land is the celestial realm or pure abode of a buddha or bodhisattva

Very important to all pure abodes is the 'Source' from which they dwell and which supports them, the 'Wellspring' of myriad fonts as emergent. It may be understood as an interface, portal or epiphany between the Dharmakaya and the Sambhogakaya. It is seminal in the establishment of mandalas governing the outer, inner or secret dimensions. It is the opening and consecration of the sacred space which enfolds and supports the expanse of the pure abode. In iconography it is represented by the six-pointed star, the two interlocking offset equilateral triangles that form a symmetry. This is the 'sanctum sanctorum'. It later developed into the primordial purity of the lotus which supports the mandala, thangka or the murti of the deity. In temple siting it is the power place or 'spirit of place' that was augured or divined in the sacred geometry of 'geodesy'

There is some confusion as to what magic actually is. I think this can be cleared up if you just look at the very earliest descriptions of magic. Magic in its earliest form is often referred to as “the art”. I believe this is completely literal. I believe that magic is art and that art, whether it be writing, music, sculpture, or any other form is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words, or images, to achieve changes in consciousness. The very language about magic seems to be talking as much about writing or art as it is about supernatural events. A grimmoir for example, the book of spells is simply a fancy way of saying grammar. Indeed, to cast a spell, is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness. And I believe that this is why an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world that you are likely to see to a Shaman

"At no time did I have a theoretical or conscious explanation for my preoccupation with these pluriform pseudo-worlds. But now, I think I understand. What I was sensing was the manifold of partially-actualized realities lying tangent to what evidently is the most actualized reality - the one which the majority of us agree on by 'consensus gentium' [Latin for the "agreement of the people"]

Magick is often defined as "Altering reality in conformance with will". That pretty much means changing the world to be how you want it to be.e basic concept could be almost as old as speech itself, there's no way to tell.

Literary alchemy goes beyond the portrayal of alchemy and alchemists in literature. Works in this category may or may not mention alchemy, but are structured alchemically

'Working' is a generic term for any act of Magic. Its a pretentious term not often used in speech, being less silly sounding when written down

Strange Attractors by Story Fielding

warosu.org/lit/thread/S8999491#p8999999

In terms of social engineering, I think that, you know, you think of yourself as being in a story, and life will start to have the kind of dynamics that you would have if you were in a story, rather than if you were part of some dire laborious mechanism, you know

"It’s not a simple matter of true or false with hyperstitious systems. Belief here doesn’t have a simply passive quality. The situation is closer to the modern phenomenon of hype. Hype actually makes things happen, and uses belief as a positive power. Just because it’s not ‘real’ now, doesn’t mean it won’t be real at some point in the future. And once it’s real, in a sense, it’s always been."

Magick is hard to define in the same way Art is hard to define. Often called The Art, it has many branches that can be extremely dissimilar but they all share some basic features

A fiction suit can also be used in consensual reality. When worn in this fashion, a fiction suit becomes similar to the idea of a reality tunnel. One constructs the fiction suit, with all of the persona's passions, prejudices, quirks and perspectives and then "puts it on", essentially becoming it

This can be used to test a model of reality, experiment with various modes of social interaction or as a method of testing and refining a "beta version" of an aspect of the gestalt personality / mind-body that is being considered for an upgrade

Magic and the Skeptic Mind

Magic is primarily about the imagination and putting it to productive use

Magick is often seen as a linking of imagination

"People hear with their eyes. There was never a question on having visuals."

There are three main levels of musical and artistic inspiration. The highest is the ‘avataric’ level that has a historical function in addition to, or even surpassing, its intrinsic value

Ralph H Abraham is an American mathematician

He founded the Visual Math Institute at UC Santa Cruz in 1975, at that time it was called the "Visual Mathematics Project". He is editor of World Futures

Abraham has been involved in the development of dynamical systems theory

Abraham's concerns alternative ways of expressing mathematics, for example visually or aurally

Say hello to the future?

warosu.org/lit/thread/S7387980#p7388436

Between 1975 and 1980 Sussman and Steele worked on developing their ideas which have become known collectively as the "Lambda Papers

Each generation, with its respective worldview, is equipped with certain media grammars and media literacy in its youth.

The nature of new generation is also influenced by the nature of the new media.

Metalinguistic abstraction is the process of solving complex problems by creating a new language or vocabulary to better understand

Being imposes some kind of obligation to find out what’s going on

We can will the perfect future into being by becoming microcosms of the perfect future, and no longer casting blame outward on institutions or hierarchies of responsibility and control, but by realizing the opportunities here, the responsibilities here, and the two may never be congruent again, and the salvation of your immortal soul may depend on what you do with the opportunity

How you feel about the the future depends entirely on the context and coherence of the narratives that you subscribe to and make sense of the world and the extent to which future developments deliver the kind of world you expect to be living in. My advice would be to create your own transformative story and live it, embody it, as much as possible

Bricolage

warosu.org/lit/thread/S8306091#p8307390

is the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things

In cultural studies bricolage is used to mean the processes by which people acquire objects from across social divisions to create new cultural identities

The term bricolage has also been used in many other fields

In art, bricolage is a technique where works are constructed from various materials available or on hand

Stylistic bricolage is the inclusion of common musical devices with new uses

Theoretic bricolage, a multi-mode methodology that weaves between and within diverse and overlapping perspectives

"psychological bricolage" is used to explain the mental processes through which an individual develops novel solutions

Bricolage can also be applied to theatrical forms of improvisation

Cyberpunk's protagonists are adept at appropriating the materials of popular culture and making them speak to alternative needs and interests

Don’t hide your passions. They’re the key to doing awesome shit

Weirdness is good. It sets us apart and allows us to be wholly different from the rest of the world, while still being innately the same. Humans tend to forget that what makes us weird are the things we are passionate about, and the levels that passion can reach

Creativity will always matter.
When you can approach a problem or a challenge from your own individual and singular viewpoint, using your innate weirdness and the personality that sets you apart from anyone else in the world who cannot live inside your head, you’ll reach creativity

No ideas have to be completely original, but a good idea is always a creative combination of several others that have been mashed together, turned upside down and reinvented

When you attempt to run in sync with what you see as the mainstream, with the worker in the cubicle next to you who always says and does the right thing—rather than the raw thing—you’ll never be able to embrace that creativity.

You need to be weird to tell a story

The oldest art that humanity has ever engaged with is storytelling. We’ve been doing it ever since we first developed the ability to communicate with each other

The greatest creatives were weirdos

The people you truly look up to are fully aware of their passions. This is a fact. They could be entrepreneurs and founders, or comic book artists, or speed metal musicians—every creative is a passionate weirdo. If they weren’t, the world would be missing a lot of colour.

You’d be surprised how accepting other people can be, when they’re presented with somebody who is a little different. Sure, there are always going to be a few total assholes, but I've discovered most humans are extraordinarily capable of showing love.

Teme A Dream

Their “art-event” deepens the artist’s and their audiences’ realization of how they can engage with each other so as to creatively dream up a trance-forming and transforming experience for everyone involved

Do you see it? Do you hear it? Listen….imagination is whispering to you, calling you to believe – in yourself, in your potential, in your dreams

Imagination senses the future as it emerges, breaks the shackles of the habitual, opens a door beyond the routine, and gives you a sneak preview of your wildest dreams

The artist allows themselves to get “dreamed up” by the field to become the “medium” through which the spirit of the age moves and inspires them to creatively express itself. Speaking about this process, Jung said, “At such moments we are no longer individuals, but the race; the voice of all mankind resounds in us.” The artist is an open, receptive instrument through which a living creative spirit gives shape to and reveals itself. In this process, the artist becomes an ongoing revelation to themselves, while at the same time their art is a revelation of the creative spirit to the world. Their art is both a manifestation of, as well as a gateway through which we become introduced to the creative spirit which lives within all of us.

Openness to experience is moderately associated with crystallized intelligence, but only weakly with fluid intelligence

Vannevar Bush described in his 1945

An associative trail as conceived by Bush would be a way to create a new linear sequence of microfilm frames across any arbitrary sequence of microfilm frames by creating a chained sequence of links in the way just described, along with personal comments and side trails.

The bookwheel is a type of rotating bookcase designed to allow one person to read a variety of books in one location with ease

It has been called one of the earliest "information retrieval" devices,

Modern hypertext systems with word and phrase-level linking offer more sophistication in connecting relevant information

At the time Bush saw the current ways of indexing information as limiting and instead proposed a way to store information that was analogous to the mental association of the human brain

The Internet is largely a lateral media, specifically designed to promote lateral communication

The terms are somewhat misleading because one is not a "crystallized" form of the other. Rather, they are believed to be separate neural and mental systems. Crystallized intelligence is indicated by a person's depth and breadth of general knowledge, vocabulary, and the ability to reason using words and numbers. It is the product of educational and cultural experience in interaction with fluid intelligence.

Fluid and crystallized intelligence are thus correlated with each other, and most IQ tests attempt to measure both varieties.

Fluid intelligence refers to reasoning ability—both inductive
and deductive—to solve novel problems, often using facts and
information you already know

Crystallized intelligence refers to what you know and the ability to learn facts
and absorb information

In psychology, fluid and crystallized (respectively abbreviated Gf and Gc) intelligence are factors of general intelligence, originally identified by Raymond Cattell.

Fluid intelligence or fluid reasoning is the capacity to think logically and solve problems, independent of acquired knowledge. Fluid intelligence includes such abilities as pattern recognition, abstract reasoning, and problem-solving

People with thick boundaries tend to see the world in "black-and-white" terms, whereas those with thin boundaries tend to be more aware of "shades of gray". Women tend to have thinner boundaries than men, and boundaries tend to become thicker with age

Thin boundaries are associated with open-mindedness, sensitivity, vulnerability, creativity, and artistic ability. People with thin boundaries may tend to confuse fantasy and reality and tend to have a fluid sense of identity, so that they tend to merge or lose themselves in their relations with others. People with thick boundaries differentiate clearly between reality and fantasy and between self and other, and tend to prefer well-defined social structures.

Academic self-concept refers to the personal beliefs about their academic abilities or skills

Openness to experience correlates with creativity, as measured by tests of divergent thinking

Openness has been linked to both artistic and scientific creativity

Self-consciousness or "meta" self-awareness. At this level not only is the self seen from a first person view but its realized that it’s also seen from a third person’s view. They begin to understand they can be in the mind of others. For instance, how they are seen from a public standpoint

Openness involves six facets, or dimensions, including active imagination (fantasy), aesthetic sensitivity, attentiveness to inner feelings, preference for variety, and intellectual curiosity. A great deal of psychometric research has demonstrated that these facets or qualities are significantly correlated

Solid thread, but what with the missing links?

Generative art refers to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system

Generative systems may be modified while they operate

Generative art systems can be categorized as being ordered, disordered, or complex. Here complex systems are those that have a mixture of both order and disorder and typically exhibit emergence

The trend and the thoughtwave are related
