  • Minicon!

    I wanna be the very best
    like no one ever was
    To catch them is my real test
    To train them is my cause

    I will travel across the land
    searching far and wide
    Each Minicon to understand
    the power that's inside

    Minicon! its you and me
    I know its my destiny,
    Minicon! Oh you're my best friend
    in a world we must defend
    Minicon! a heart so true
    Our courage will pull us through,

    You teach me and I'll teach you,
    Minicon! gotto catch'em all

    Every challenge allong the way
    with courage I will face.
    I will battle every day
    to claim my rightful place.
    Come with me,
    the time is right,
    there's no better team.
    Arm in arm we'll win the fight!
    It's always been our dream!

    You scored as Form V: Shien, Form V is a powerful style developed by Form III practitioners that preferred a more offensive angle. The defensive nature of Form III dangerously prolonged combat. The maxim "peace through superior firepower," encompasses the philosophy of Form V, also called the "Way of the Krayt Dragon." Anakin and Luke Skywalker are both practitioners of Form V.Form V focuses a bit on having defensive skills, but channelling defence into offence. The example is commonly used that while Form III combatants effortlessly deflect laser bolts, Form V practitioners excel at redirecting the laser bolt toward the opponent.

  • A Song So Poignant It Simply Must *Be*

    In the glow of the night

    The grey of evening fills the room,
    Theres no need to look outside,
    To see or feel the rain.
    Then I reach across to touch her,
    But I know that shes not there.
    Rain keeps running down the window pane.
    Time is running out for me.

    Cant you see what you are doing to me?
    Cant you see what you have done?
    As I try to pass another long and sleepless night,
    A hundred crazy voices call my name,
    As I try to pass them by,
    I almost can believe that she is here,
    Here in the glow of the night.

    Do you know what you have done?
    Do you know what you've begun?
    Do you see we shall never be together again?
    All of my life.

    Lonely people, empty rooms,
    Pointless violence, silent tombs.
    Could it be that we shall be together again?

    Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,
    Only foreign city sirens can cut through,
    Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.
    But they cant keep out the chilling sounds.
    Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
    That she is here with me?
    Here in the glow of the night.

    Do you know what you have done?
    Do you know what you've begun?
    Do you see we shall never be together again?
    All of my life.

    Lonely people, empty rooms,
    Pointless violence, silent tombs.
    Could it be that we shall be together again?
    Could it be that we shall be together again?

    In silence and darkness
    We held each other near that night
    We prayed it would last forever.

    The last domino

    Blood on the windows
    Millions of ordinary people are there
    They gaze at the scenery
    They act as if it is perfectly clear
    Take a look at the mountains
    Take a look at the beautiful river of blood.

    The liquid surrounds me
    I fight to rise from this river of hell
    I stare round about me
    Children are swimming and playing with boats
    Their features are changing
    Their bodies dissolve and I am alone.

    Now see what you've gone and done.
    Now see what you've gone and done.

    Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
    As was seen last night on t.v.
    Maybe if were lucky, they will show it again
    Such a terrible thing to see - oh
    But theres nothing you can do when you're next in line
    You've got to go domino.

    Now I'm one with the living and Im feeling just fine
    I know just what I gotta do
    Play the game of happiness and never let on
    That it only lives on in a song - oh
    Well theres nothing you can do when youre next in line
    Youve got to go domino.

    Do you know what you have done?
    Do you know what you've begun?

    In silence and darkness
    Hold each other near tonight
    For will it last forever?
    Will it last forever - forever...

    Theres nothing you can do when youre the next in line
    You've got to go domino.

    Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done
    Do you see what you've begun?
    Cos theres nothing, nothing, nothing
    Theres nothing you can do, theres nothing you can do
    Do you see, do you see what you have done?

    I am the substances of the world.


    I am life's primal source.




    The body draws its soul from you.


    But I arouse the soul.


    While You waylay with blissful peace,


    I lead with action's call.




    I never begged obedience


    Of slaves who always pray.


    I rule without a hell: I judge


    Without a Judgement Day

    Tunnel-Realities and Imprints


    written by Robert Anton Wilson


    Let's try Dr. Leary's perspective on these mysteries.


    To understand neurological space, Dr. Leary assumes that the nervous
    system consists of eight potential circuits, or "gears," or
    mini-brains. Four of these brains are in the usually active left lobe
    and are concerned with our terrestrial survival; four are
    extraterrestrial, reside in the "silent" or inactive right lobe, and
    are for use in our future evolution. This explains why the right lobe
    is usually inactive at this stage of our development, and why it
    becomes active when the person ingests psychedelics.


    We will explain each of the eight "brains" briefly.


    I. THE BIO-SURVIVAL CIRCUIT


    This invertebrate brain was the first to evolve (2 to 3 billion years
    ago) and is the first activated when a human infant is born. It
    programs perception onto an either-or grid divided into
    nurturing-helpful Things (which it approaches) and noxious-dangerous
    Things (which it flees, or attacks). The imprinting of this circuit
    sets up the basic attitude of trust or suspicion which will ever after
    trigger approach or avoidance.


    II. THE EMOTIONAL CIRCUIT


    This second, more advanced bio-computer formed when vertebrates
    appeared and began to compete for territory (perhaps 500,000,000 B.C.).
    In the individual, this bigger tunnel-reality is activated when the DNA
    master-tape triggers the metamorphosis from crawling to walking. As
    every parent knows, the toddler is no longer a passive (bio-survival)
    infant but a mammalian politician, full of physical (and psychic)
    territorial demands, quick to meddle in family business and
    decision-making. Again the first imprint on this circuit remains
    constant for life (unless brainwashed) and identifies the stimuli which
    will automatically trigger dominant, aggressive behavior or submissive,
    cooperative behavior. When we say that a person is behaving
    emotionally, egotistically or 'like a two-year-old,' we mean that s/he
    is blindly following one of the tunnel-realities imprinted on this
    circuit.


    III. THE DEXTERITY-SYMBOLISM CIRCUIT


    This third brain was formed when hominid types began to differentiate
    from other primate stock (circa 4-5 million B.C.) and is activated for
    the linear left-lobe functions of the brain, determines our normal
    modes of artifact-manufacture and conceptual thought, i.e., third
    circuit 'mind.'


    It is no accident, then, that our logic (and our computer-design)
    follows either-or, binary structure of these circuits. Nor is it an
    accident that our geometry, until the last century, has been Euclidean.
    Euclid's geometry, Aristotle's logic and Newton's physics are
    meta-programs synthesizing and generalizing first brain forward-back,
    second brain up-down and third brain right-left programs.


    IV. THE SOCIAL-SEXUAL CIRCUIT


    The fourth brain, dealing with the transmission of tribal or ethnic
    culture across generations, introduces the fourth dimension, time.


    Since each of these tunnel-realities consists of biochemical imprints
    or matrices in the nervous system, each of them is specifically
    triggered by neuro-transmitters and other drugs.


    To activate the first brain take an opiate. Mother Opium and Sister
    Morphine bring you down to cellular intelligence, bio-survival
    passivity, the floating consciousness of the newborn. (This is why
    Freudians identify opiate addiction with the desire to return to
    infancy.)


    To activate the second tunnel-reality, take an abundant quantity of
    alcohol. Vertebrate territorial patterns and mammalian emotional
    politics immediately appear when the booze flows, as Thomas Nashe
    intuitively realized when he characterized the various alcohol states
    by animal labels: "ass drunk," "goat drunk," "swine drunk," "bear
    drunk," etc.


    To activate the third circuit, try coffee or tea, a high-protein diet, speed or cocaine.


    The specific neurotransmitter for circuit four has not been synthesized
    yet, but it is generated by the glands after pubescence and flows
    volcanically through the bloodstreams of adolescents.


    (I think MDMA is in part a 4th-circuit activator that promotoes social cohesion - Paul)


    NONE OF THESE TERRESTRIAL DRUGS CHANGE BASIC BIOCHEMICAL IMPRINTS. The
    behaviors which they trigger are those which were wired into the
    nervous system during the first stages of imprint vulnerability. The
    circuit II drunk exhibits the emotional games or cons learned from
    parents in infancy. The circuit III "mind" never gets beyond the
    permutations and combinations of those tunnel-realities originally
    imprinted, or abstractions associated with the imprints through later
    conditioning. And so forth.


    But all this Pavlovian-Skinnerian robotism changes drastically and
    dramatically when we turn to the right lobe, the future circuits and
    extraterrestrial chemicals.


    The four evolving future 'brains' are:


    V. THE NEUROSOMATIC CIRCUIT


    When this fifth "body-brain" is activated, flat Euclidean figure-ground
    configurations explode multi-dimensionally. Gestalts shift, in
    McLuhan's terms, from linear VISUAL SPACE to all-encompassing SENSORY
    SPACE. A hedonic turn-on occurs, a rapturous amusement, a detachment
    from the previously compulsive mechanism of the first four circuits. I
    turned this circuit on with pot and Tantra.


    This fifth brain began to appear about 4,000 years ago in the first
    leisure-class civilizations and has been increasing statistically in
    recent centuries (even before the Drug Revolution), a fact demonstrated
    by the hedonic art of India, China, Rome and other affluent societies.
    More recently, Ornstein and his school have demonstrated with
    electroencephalograms that this circuit represents the first jump from
    the linear left lobe of the brain to the analogical right lobe.


    The opening and imprinting of this circuit has been the preoccupation
    of "technicians of the occult"--Tantric shamans and hatha yogis. While
    the fifth tunnel-reality can be achieved by sensory deprivation, social
    isolation, physiological stress or severe shock (ceremonial terror
    tactics, as practiced by such rascal-gurus as Don Juan Matus or
    Aleister Crowley), it has traditionally been reserved to the educated
    aristocracy of leisure societies who have solved the four terrestrial
    survival problems.


    About 20,000 years ago, the specific fifth brain neurotransmitter was
    discovered by shamans in the Caspian Sea area of Asia and quickly
    spread to other wizards throughout Eurasia and Africa. It is, of
    course, cannabis. Weed. Mother Mary Jane.


    It is no accident that the pot-head generally refers to his neural
    state as "high" or "spaced-out." The transcendence of gravitational,
    digital, linear, either-or, Aristotelian, Newtonian, Euclidean,
    planetary orientations (circuits I-IV) is, in evolutionary perspective,
    part of our neurological preparation for the inevitable migration off
    our home planet, now beginning. This is why so many pot-heads are STAR
    TREK freaks and science fiction adepts. (Berkeley, California,
    certainly the Cannabis Capital of the U.S., has a Federation Trading
    Post on Telegraph Avenue, where the well-heeled can easily spend $500
    or more in a single day, buying STAR TREK novels, magazines,
    newsletters, bumper stickers, photographs, posters, tapes, etc.,
    including even complete blueprints for the starship ENTERPRISE.)


    The extraterrestrial meaning of being "high" is confirmed by astronauts
    themselves; 85% of those who have entered the free-fall zero gravity
    describe "mystic experiences" or rapture states typical of the
    neurosomatic circuit. "No photo can show how beautiful Earth looked,"
    raves Captain Ed Mitchell, describing his Illumination in free-fall. He
    sounds like any successful yogi or pot-head. No camera can show this
    experience because it is inside the nervous system.


    FREE-FALL, AT THE PROPER EVOLUTIONARY TIME, TRIGGERS THE NEUROSOMATIC
    MUTATION, Leary believes. Previously this mutation has been achieved
    "artificially" by yogic or shamanic training or by the fifth circuit
    stimulant, cannabis. Surfing, skiing, skin-diving and the new sexual
    culture (sensuous massage, vibrators, imported Tantric arts, etc.) have
    evolved at the same time as part of the hedonic conquest of gravity.
    The Turn-On state is always described as "floating," or, in the Zen
    metaphor, "one foot above the ground."








    VI. THE NEUROELECTRIC CIRCUIT


    The sixth brain consists of the nervous system becoming aware of itself
    apart from imprinted gravitational reality-maps (circuits I-IV) and
    even apart from body-rapture (circuit V). Count Korzybski, the
    semanticist, called this state "consciousness of abstracting." Dr. John
    Lilly calls it "metaprogramming," i.e., awareness of programming one's
    programming. This Einsteinian, relativistic contelligence
    (consciousness-intelligence) recognizes, for instance, that the
    Euclidean, Newtonian and Aristotelian reality-maps are just three among
    billions of possible programs or models for experience. I turned this
    circuit on with Peyote, LSD and Crowley's "magick" metaprograms.


    This level of brain-functioning seems to have been reported first
    around 500 B.C. among various "occult" groups connected by the Silk
    Route (Rome-North India). It is so far beyond the terrestrial
    tunnel-realities that those who have achieved it can barely communicate
    about it to ordinary humanity (circuits I-IV) and can hardly be
    understood even by fifth circuit Rapture Engineers.


    The characteristics of the neuroelectric circuit are high velocity,
    multiple choice, relativity, and the fission-fusion of all perceptions
    into parallel science-fiction universes of alternate possibilities.


    The mammalian politics which monitor power struggles among terrestrial
    humanity are here transcended, i.e., seen as static, artificial, an
    elaborate charade. One is neither coercively manipulated into another's
    territorial reality nor forced to struggle against it with reciprocal
    emotional game-playing (the usual soap-opera dramatics). One simply
    elects, consciously, whether or not to share the other's reality-model.


    Tactics for opening and imprinting the sixth circuit are described and
    rarely experienced in advanced rajah yoga, and in the hermetic (coded)
    manuals of the medieval-Renaissance alchemists and Illuminati.


    No specific sixth circuit chemical is yet available, but strong
    psychedelics like mescaline (from my 1962-63 "sacred cactus," peyotl)
    and psilocybin (from the Mexican "magic mushroom," teonactl) open the
    nervous system to a mixed-media series of circuit V and circuit VI
    channels. This is appropriately called "tripping," as distinguished
    from straight-forward fifth circuit "turning on" or "getting high."


    The suppression of scientific research in this area has had the
    unfortunate result of turning the outlaw drug culture back toward fifth
    circuit hedonics and pre-scientific tunnel-realities (the occult
    revival, solipsism, Pop Orientalism). Without scientific discipline and
    methodology, few can successfully decode the often-frightening (but
    philosophically crucial) sixth circuit metaprogramming signals. Such
    scientists as do continue to study this subject dare not publish their
    results (which are illegal) and record ever-wider tunnel-realities only
    in private conversations--like the scholars of the Inquisitorial era.
    (Voltaire announced the Age of Reason two centuries too soon. We are
    still in the Dark Ages.) Most underground alchemists have given up on
    such challenging and risky self-work and restrict their trips to fifth
    circuit erotic tunnels.


    The evolutionary function of the sixth circuit is to enable us to
    communicate at Einsteinian relativities and neuro-electric
    accelerations, not using third circuit laryngeal-manual symbols but
    directly via feedback, telepathy and computer link-up. Neuro-electric
    signals will increasingly replace "speech" (hominid grunts) after space
    migration.


    When humans have climbed out of the atmosphere-gravity well of
    planetary life, accelerated sixth circuit contelligence will make
    possible high-energy communication with "Higher Intelligences," i.e.,
    ourselves-in-the-future and other post-terrestrial races.


    It is charmingly simple and obvious, once we realize that the
    spaced-out neural experiences really are extraterrestrial, that getting
    high and spacing out are accurate metaphors. Circuit V neurosomatic
    rapture is preparation for the next step in our evolution, migration
    off the planet. Circuit VI is preparation for the step after that,
    interspecies communication with advanced entities possessing electronic
    (post-verbal) tunnel-realities.


    Circuit VI is the "universal translator" often imagined by
    science-fiction writers, already built into our brains by the DNA tape.
    Just as the circuits of the future butterfly are already built into the
    caterpillar.






    VII. THE NEUROGENETIC CIRCUIT


    The seventh brain kicks into action when the nervous system begins to
    receive signals from WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL NEURON, from the DNA-RNA
    dialogue. The first to achieve this mutation spoke of "memories of past
    lives," "reincarnation," "immortality," etc. That these adepts were
    recording something real is indicated by the fact that many of them
    (especially Hindu and Sufis) gave marvelously accurately poetic vistas
    of evolution 1,000 or 2,000 years before Darwin, and foresaw
    Superhumanity before Nietzsche.


    The "akashic records" of Theosophy, the "collective unconscious" of
    Jung, the "phylogenetic unconscious" of Grof and Ring, are three modern
    metaphors for this circuit. The visions of past and future evolution
    described by those who have had "out-of-body" experiences during
    close-to-death episodes also describes the trans-time circuit VII
    tunnel-reality.


    Specific exercises to trigger circuit VII are not to be found in yogic
    teaching; it usually happens, if at all, after several years of the
    kind of advanced rajah yoga that develops circuit VI facility.


    The specific circuit VII neurotransmitter is, of course LSD. (Peyote and psilocybin produce some circuit VII experiences also.)


    Circuit VII is best considered, in terms of 1977 science, as the
    genetic archives, activated by anti-histone proteins. The DNA memory
    coiling back to the dawn of life. A sense of the inevitability of
    immortality and interspecies symbiosis comes to all circuit VII
    mutants; we now see that this, also, is an evolutionary forecast, since
    WE STAND RIGHT NOW ON THE DOOR-STEP OF EXTENDED LONGEVITY LEADING TO
    IMMORTALITY.


    The exact role of the right-lobe circuits and the reason for their
    activation in the 1960s cultural revolution now becomes clear. As
    sociologist F.M. Esfandiary writes in UPWINGERS, "Today when we speak
    of immortality and of going to another world we no longer mean these in
    a theological or metaphysical sense. People are now traveling to other
    worlds. People are now striving for immortality. Transcendence is no
    longer a metaphysical concept. It has become reality."


    The evolutionary function of the seventh circuit and its evolutionary,
    aeon-spanning tunnel-reality is to prepare us for conscious immortality
    and interspecies symbiosis.


    VIII. THE NEURO-ATOMIC CIRCUIT


    Hold on to your hats and breathe deeply--this is the farthest-out that human intelligence has yet ventured.


    Consciousness probably precedes the biological unit or DNA tape-loop.
    "Out-of-body experiences," "astral projection," contact with alien
    (extraterrestrial?) "entities" or with a galactic Overmind, etc., such
    as I've experienced, have all been reported for thousands of years, not
    merely by the ignorant, the superstitious, the gullible, but often by
    the finest minds among us (Socrates, Giordano Bruno, Edison,
    Buckminster Fuller, etc.). Such experiences are reported daily to
    parapsychologists and have been experienced by such scientists as Dr.
    John Lilly and Carlos Castaneda. Dr. Kenneth Ring has attributed these
    phenomena to what he calls, very appropriately, "the extraterrestrial
    unconscious."


    Dr. Leary suggests that circuit VIII is literally neuro-atomic--infra,
    supra and meta-physiological--a quantum model of consciousness and/or a
    conscious model of quantum mechanics by the turned-on physicists
    discussed previously (Prof. John Archibald Wheeler, Saul-Paul Sirag,
    Dr. Fritjof Capra, Dr. Jack Sarfatti, etc.) indicates strongly that the
    "atomic consciousness" first suggested by Leary in "The Seven Tongues
    of God" (1962) is the explanatory link which will unite parapsychology
    and paraphysics into the first scientific empirical experimental
    theology in history.


    When the nervous system is turned on to this quantum-level circuit,
    space-time is obliterated. Einstein's speed-of-light barrier is
    transcended; in Dr. Sarfatti's metaphor, we escape "electromagnetic
    chauvinism." The contelligence within the quantum projection booth IS
    the entire cosmic "brain," just as the micro-miniaturized DNA helix IS
    the local brain guiding planetary evolution. As Lao-tse said from his
    own Circuit VIII perspective, "The greatest is within the smallest."


    Circuit VIII is triggered by Ketamine, a neuro-chemical researched by
    Dr. John Lilly, which is also (according to a wide-spread but
    unconfirmed rumor) given to astronauts to prepare them for space. High
    doses of LSD also produce some circuit VIII quantum awareness.




    This neuro-atomic contelligence is four mutations beyond terrestrial
    domesticity. (The current ideological struggle is between circuit IV
    tribal moralists-or-collectivists and circuit V hedonic
    individualists.) When our need for higher intelligence, richer
    involvement in the cosmic script, further transcendence, will no longer
    be satisfied by physical bodies, not even by immortal bodies hopping
    across space-time at Warp 9, circuit VIII will open a further frontier.
    New universes and realities. "Beyond theology: the science and art of
    Godmanship," as Alan Watts once wrote.


    It is therefore possible that the mysterious "entities" (angels and
    extraterrestrials) monotonously reported by circuit VIII visionaries
    are members or races already evolved to this level. But it is also
    possible, as Leary and Sarfatti more recently suggest, that They are
    ourselves-in-the-future.


    The left-lobe terrestrial circuits contain the learned lessons of our
    evolutionary past (and present). The right-lobe extraterrestrial
    circuits are the evolutionary script for out future.


    Thus far, there have been two alternative explanations of why the Drug
    Revolution happened. The first is presented in a sophisticated way by
    anthropologist Weston LaBarre, and in an ignorant, moralistic way by
    most anti-drug propaganda in the schools and mass media. This
    explanation says, in essence, that millions have turned away from the
    legal DOWN drugs to illegal HIGH drugs because we are living in
    troubled times and many are seeking escape into fantasy.


    This theory, at its best, only partially explains the ugliest and most
    publicized aspect of the revolution--the reckless drug abuse
    characteristic of the immature. It says nothing about the millions of
    respectable doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc., who have turned away
    from second circuit intoxication with booze to fifth circuit rapture
    with weed.


    Nor does it account at all for the thoughtful, philosophical sixth
    circuit investigations of persons of high intelligence and deep
    sensibility, such as Aldous Huxley, Dr. Stanley Grof, Masters-Houston,
    Alan W. Watts, Carlos Castaneda, Dr. John Lilly and thousands of
    scientific and lay researchers on consciousness.


    A more plausible theory, devised by psychiatrist Norman Zinberg out of
    the work of Marshall McLuhan, holds that modern electronic media have
    so shifted the nervous system's parameters that young people no longer
    enjoy "linear" drugs like alcohol and find meaning only in "non-linear"
    weed and psychedelics.


    This is certainly part of the truth, but it is too narrow and
    overstresses TV and computers without sufficiently stressing the
    general technological picture--the ongoing Science-Fiction Revolution
    of which the most significant aspects are Space Migration, Increased
    Intelligence and Life Extension, which Leary has condensed into his
    SMI淺E formula.


    Space Migration plus Increased Intelligence plus Life Extension means
    expansion of humanity into all space-time. SM + I?+ LE = infinity.


    Without totally endorsing Charles Fort's technological mysticism ("It
    steam-engines when it comes steam-engine time"), it is obvious that the
    DNA metaprogram for planetary evolution is far wiser than any of our
    individual nervous systems--which are, in a sense, giant robots or
    sensors for DNA. Early science-fiction of brilliant writers like
    Stapledon, Clarke, Heinlein; Kubrick's 2001--all were increasingly
    clear DNA signals transmitted through the intuitive right lobe of
    sensitive artists, preparing us for the extraterrestrial mutation.


    It is scarcely coincidental that mainstream "literary"
    intellectuals--the heir of the Platonic-aristocratic tradition that a
    gentleman never uses his hands, monkeys with tools or learns a manual
    craft--despise both science-fiction and the dope culture. Nor is it
    coincidental that the WHOLE EARTH CATALOGS - created by Stewart Brand,
    a graduate of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters--are the New Testament of
    the rural drop-out culture, each issue bulging with tons of
    eco-technological information about all the manual, dextrous, gadgety
    know-how that Plato and his heirs consider fit only for slaves. Not
    surprisingly, Brand's latest publication, CO-EVOLUTION QUATERLY, has
    been devoted to publicizing Prof. Gerard O'Neill's space-habitat, L5.


    Nor is it an accident that dopers seem to prefer science-fiction to any
    other reading, even including the extraterrestrial-flavored Hindu
    scriptures and occult-shamanic circuit VI-VIII trip-poets like Crowley
    and Hesse.




    The circuit VI drugs may have contributed much to the metaprogramming
    consciousness that has led to sudden awareness of "male chauvinism"
    (women's liberationists), "species chauvinism" (ecology, Lilly's
    dolphin studies), "type-G star chauvinism" (Carl Sagan), even "oxygen
    chauvinism" (the CETI conference), etc. The imprinted tunnel-realities
    which identify one as "white-male-American-earthian" etc. or
    "black-female-Cuban" etc. are no longer big enough to enclose our
    exploding contelligence.


    As TIME magazine said on November 26, 1973, "Within ten years,
    according to pharmacologists, they will have perfected pills and
    cranial electrodes of providing life-long bliss for everyone on Earth."
    The 1960s hysteria about weed and acid was just the overture to this
    fifth circuit break-through. Nathan S. Kline, M.D., predicts real
    aphrodisiacs, drugs to speed up learning, drugs to foster or terminate
    any behavior. ... Those who were jailed or beaten by cops in the 1960s
    were forerunners of the Revolution of Inner Technology.


    STAR TREK is a better guide to the emerging reality than anything in
    the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS. The life-support and defense-system
    engineer, Scotty (circuit I), the emotional-sentimental Dr. McCoy
    (circuit II), the logical science officer Mr. Spock (circuit III) and
    the alternately paternalistic and romantic Captain Kirk (circuit IV)
    are perpetually voyaging through our future neurological history and
    encountering circuit V, VI, VII, and VIII intelligences, however
    crudely presented.


    In short, the various levels of consciousness and circuits we have been
    discussing, and illustrating, are all biochemical imprints in the
    evolution of the nervous system. Each imprint creates a bigger
    tunnel-reality. In the Sufi metaphor, the donkey on the which we ride
    becomes a different donkey after each imprint. The metaprogrammer
    continually learns more and is increasingly able to be aware of itself
    operating. We are thus evolving to intelligence-studying-intelligence
    (the nervous system studying the nervous system) and are more and more
    capable of accelerating our own evolution.


    Leary now symbolizes intelligence-studying-intelligence by the mark,
    I? On the lower levels, you see with one "I", so to speak. On the
    higher levels, you see with many "I"s, and space-time shifts from three
    Euclidean dimensions to non-Euclidean multi-dimensionality.

  • Errrr, Maya I Intrude...

    Been
    a long time since I've put any kind of input here or anywhere on the
    internet. Lots of stuff to do, or have been done. Weddings, Computer
    Crashes, Baby Scans and New Jobs.

    If I could change one thing about the care sector it would be, more water ...

    why is it no matter what home I work in, everyone's wee is always a strong yellow and virtually stings the eyes...

    Anywho,
    I'm going to spend a lot of the day researching cognition, neuroscience
    and a whole load of other guffin related to the field of Dementia, in a
    vain hope of foolish dreams of being able to improve the quality of
    life or maybe even dare I say *cure* some of the the new kids (I say
    kids, most of them are over 50) I have had the good fortune to spend
    paid time with...
