strange shit!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some Indian yogic shit and then agaric fly not fly agaric |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sanskrit, i watched it on the biggest tv we have tonight and noticed that agaric fly straight away |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more details here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that guy really loves fonts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

real thread if anything on earth is an alien artefact then it is sanskrit.... hah - and shrooms, if u listen to Mckenna i directed some clueless guy looking for shrooms in a field that has never had any, to a big load of fly agaric, the other day.. really nice specimens they were too. well, they are psychoactive (reindeers piss n all that) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
[ it was a shortcut, i wasnt just randomly wandering around fields ] |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah its mushroom season isn't it, i used to see hippies in the local park going round with little baggies picking them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shakti excess sounds good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found fucking thousands the other day!! sanskrit sounds fascinating.. i don't think Mckenna was aware of it? i've heard people describe it like: when you say a word, you are bringing the thing into existence... reminds me of when ppl talk about the machine elves in DMT-land, telling you to 'do what we do' and vibrate "faberge egg type things" into existence... ! ha, fucking fffar out:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
>>>i don't think Mckenna was aware of it? he must have been aware of it, surely... he had fucking everything... i never heard him talk about it though...interesting angle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry,meant to say "... he had read" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id love to meet the machine elves, my mate said he smoked something that made a membrane extend out from his body to the edges of the universe, that sounds quite interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah there is a another creation myth that sounds like that, singing stuff into existence, quite a far out ideas. Would anything technically exist without an external observer to notice it, in an independent sense. You know whats weird is well we have names for everything but really nothing has an intrinsic name, its just something that exists and we call it a sun or a mountain |
||||||||

i feel this topic of names kind of pops up here every once in a while but i really love it. magic is described similarly in ursula k leGuin´s earth sea and i posted this before. if you know the true name of anything you can control it. this is true in so many ways. as for a scientific way, we observed the universe and found a way to name the elements, atoms and so forth and this enables us to learn more and more about it. language is our key to understanding the universe over the generations. by now, naming something unknown also means you understood its nature. i wish we treated sciences a bit more like magic. like asking the molecules to do what you want them to do before you start your experiments etc. its a respect thing. i can see lots of labrats saying their prayers and i feel it may be a good thing to say it out loud. ritualize it in a way that reminds you that not you are the master, maybe not a servant either, just someone who humbly asks for something. that would be an additional way to use language. maybe add some movements and gestures too. |

i wonder if it was possible for a thing to have an intrinsic name. maybe mathematics or equations could be that. guess that would be a very long "name" for a mountain or a star. or surprisingly short. |
||||||||

it looks like all the stuff the crew/director/props people were reading at the time. rohrim = lord of the rings? trip next to agaric fly is just great ^^ another thing to love about the movies 1 & 2 surely were the props. they just nailed it with those. its something modern scifi movies and tv often have trouble measuring up to. |

will reply to you great comments soon, just got the lurgee at the moment! |

yes most modern films look like they are on some perfectly clean set, it feels very inauthentic. I think part of it is to make the continuity between CGI and physical sets feel seamless, i dunno. CGI overall has been one of the worst things to happen for the film industry, it allows laziness to set in, I can't tell one film from the other now, even that new DUNE film looks like a cross between Arrival and a marvel superhero movie. |

>> You know whats weird is well we have names for everything >> but really nothing has an intrinsic name, its just something >> that exists and we call it a sun or a mountain like, how the fuck are human languages even different to each other - that is totally mental to think about. Like water hitting rocks and eroding wildly different paths based on initial conditions, but the process of erosion is always the same... |

unrelatedish, there's that bit i saw on QI about 'kiki' and 'bouba' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah ive seen that, It makes me think of the shapes your tongue makes in your mouth, kiki is very sharpe and bouba is rounded |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but yeah its a layer of cognition we arent normally away of, much more abstract, I was thinking about it before, with words we are dividing the universe into categories of distinction, whats the most important property of a singular entity, the shape the colour, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thing is, it's great to realise that, but what do you next like, write ad copy or something lol? |
||||||||
|

|
|
is that Terrence Stamp? I get freaked out when people do simultaneous movements together |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just had a look and Donald Sumpter who is in that film who is a bit like a tesco value Terrence Stamp, perhaps they can't occupy the same room together cos they would self annihilate |
||||||||
|

Im starting to think consciousness and the universe is just a bit of a cosmic accident, like watching a slug fall off a housebrick, it wasn't intentional it just sort of happened! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like watching a slug fall off a housebrick... ace!! that should be a UK zen meditiation :) i love that film, all those movements apparently are the proper ones, and you can tell, look how in-sync they are otherwise yeah i reckon thinking about conciousness is a bit like that Arab saying about the bloke charging around the village on his donkey going "where's me donkey" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when you look away it reverse time and gets back on the brick |
||||||||
|
|

|
if you pay close attention to a clock you can see it move a tick back every once in a while. gotta be the right clock though.-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i've noticed that myself, i wondered if i had strabismus or something or just a cheap clock |

i was thinking of relative time, how every particle in the universe has its own relative time, imagine if it was really exaggerated like the corner of one room was in the first epoch/eon of earth and the other side of the room was a million years in the future, and your shoes were in the 18th century. Now extrapolated that and imagine all the molecules in the room varies massively in time. That would be a bit weird wouldn't it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did wonder if there actually would be quirks in time on earth for some reason. lets say micro black holes darting through the universe. and lets be very generous and imagine a whole organism would pass this barrier alive and be transportet to another era in one piece. (obviously not possible the way i created it but anyway). lets say an exteme event could do that. it always gives me these goldrush fantasies of endless possibilities with this, or the robinson´s exile type of scenario. i just love to get lost in these. or explain myths and wonders of mankind with it. now with the relativity as we understand it a human would only be able to move into the future, which wouldnt explain ancient rudimentary acid batteries. |

|
|
for all we know, they could vary in a noticeable way. among other things this may explain why sometimes an experiment goes this way sometimes another. or maybe its more constant than we can ever achieve to measure. but id love to mess with it ^^ |

whats cern doing these days? |

your left bollock could be in the Triassic for a fraction of a second and you would never know! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that could create hell of an affilitation case |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
different parts of your brain could be on different timescales too... reckon that happens fairly often 4 me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
other measurement instruments would also be succeptible |
