Primates On Typewriters

This is a personal quest made public because I feel so compelled for some reason.  This won't always be pretty, or polished, or agreeable, or comprehensible. This is what comes out of me.

On those days you find yourself standing alone, under who’s name do you sign your deeds? Yours, or another’s? If another’s, then what if that figure ceased to guide you? Would you continue of your own volition? Do you pass off responsibility for your beliefs to someone else?

I want to push people rather than lead. I can only do that from behind them.

What if we lived our odyssey experiencing only favourable conditions? Would we know to avoid harm? Would we even know of harm? Would we fear loosing what we love? If there is only good, how could anything ever be bad? Does the bad truly define the good by contrast? If something exists, is it defined as such only by the possibility of not existing? If there were no possibility of inexistence, would there not still be existence? If there is no bad, would there not still be good? Can we be happy without ever experiencing sorrow?

Have you been lied to? Did someone manipulate the information available to you to influence your opinion?

Have you done so to others?

Splendid!

We’re all in this together then.

Observing Thinking Experiencing

Three means of developing one’s mastery. That is what all science and spirituality should be. An effort to generate mastery.

There are over seven billion of us, should we widen our definition of acceptably different?

Should we stop trying to establish and maintain a static norm?

(Creating a mantra. Trying to distil the statement to it’s simplest form while ensuring all words have some presence in the final mantra once repeated letters are removed. Avoiding negatives and avoidance.)

(capitalize and distill) NOTHING THAT DESTROYS ANOTHER PERSON.

IN A MANNER STRICTLY BENEFICIAL TO ALL AFFECTED

IN A MANNER WHOLLY BENEFICIAL TO ALL AFFECTED

IN A MANNER ALTOGETHER BENEFICIAL TO ALL AFFECTED

IN A MANNER ONLY BENEFICIAL TO ALL AFFECTED

IN A MANNER SOLELY BENEFICIAL TO ALL AFFECTED.

IN A MANNER SOLELY FAVOURABLE FOR ALL AFFECTED.

SOLELY FAVOURABLE FOR ALL AFFECTED.

AFFECTING SOLELY FAVOURABLY.

HAVING SOLELY FAVOURABLE EFFECTS.

HAVING ONLY FAVOURABLE EFFECTS.

HAVING ONLY FAVOURABLE IMPACT. (I don’t like the word “only”, it’s restrictive)

HAVING ENTIRELY FAVOURABLE IMPACT.

(remove repeated letters, this form can be sigilized regardless of letter order) HAVING ETRLY FOUB MPC

(reverse) MPC  BUOF YLRTE GNIVAH

(make pronounceable) MEPEC BUOF YL RET GNIVAH

Record and exaggerate enunciation for clarity. Use reverb, delay and other effects. Loop and add binaurals, isochronic beats, drums or whatever. Keep the mantra clearly audible so one can chant along with it and hear every syllable.

Do repeat letters need to be removed linearly from left to right? The first word before reversal will typically be more complete while last word will be severely truncated. Further experimentation should include removing repeated letters dynamically to allow the sentence to retain a more even body. Possible benefit or linear method include pacing the final mantra with short sounds from the truncated final words of the initial proclamation, progressing to more elaborate articulations. Would this allow the power of the mantra to ramp up? Vowels are added for pronunciation, so the concern may be moot beyond ensuring all words figure in the final product.

The accommodation of individual diversity.

The human world is comprised of multiple nations. The nations have multiple regions. The regions have multiple cities and towns. The cities and towns have multiple neighbourhoods. The neighbourhoods have multiple households. The households have multiple individuals. The individuals have multiple feelings and aspirations. Every tier demonstrates diversity.

To ensure harmony, any system must be applied to this pattern of division, not the divisions themselves.

I feel that globalization has undergone a dramatic transformation. The idea has always been to bring us all together, but practical limitations made the brute force granted by large scale agencies and homogenization a necessary factor. For culturally localized goods and ideas to be made available in all parts of the world, you needed a massive, far reaching, all powerful mega infrastructure, otherwise these niche commodities would be unheard of in the far reaches of the world.

But times have changed. The level of individual interconnectivity has reached a point of singularity. We can now experience a dynamically decentralized form of globalization.

Today an individual in India can create hand crafted chairs and launch a website promoting these wares. Another individual in Brazil can do a web search for chairs, find the Indian’s website, contact the Indian individually and commission a custom made chair. Another web search will find a shipping company capable of delivering the product. Payment can be handled by yet another specialized agency.

Certainly, the level of infrastructural organization differs between the chair maker and the shipping company, yet the information age allows these seemingly disparate parties to easily and dynamically interact without the need of an all-encompassing, static system.

Furthermore, this new form of globalization removes the limitations of localized markets and entry barriers on the individual level. The market for chairs in India may be saturated, but the indian may still benefit from a chosen profession by having unrestricted access to the entire population of the world. The possibility of cultural cross-pollination could be extolled as well.

This new world allows freedom the likes of which the world has never known. Everyone can reach and freely interact with everyone else. It is imperative that this access remains un-gated by enabling agencies such as internet access providers and managers, or governmental and legislative bodies.

Given time, we will adapt and adjust to this new reality. We will truly be one world consisting of endlessly diverse individuals.

Without mindfulness and moderation, confidence in the extreme can lead one to use a sledgehammer where a gentle caress would suffice.

Your subconscious mind is considerably more powerful than your conscious mind. However, your conscious mind is considerably louder than your subconscious mind.

Ever noticed how you sometimes manage to effortlessly do incredible things on the spur of the moment, like hit a perfect bullseye or think up something incredible, yet can’t repeat the achievement to save your life when you consciously try to?

The conscious mind is meant to make a choice and then get out of the way to allow the subconscious to handle the logistics of acting on that choice.

About compromised pacifism.

Ideally, we would all learn to forgo violence entirely. But ideals have not historically stopped  knives, or bullets, or bombs past a certain threshold. They can certainly prevent their use, but until we live in a world where we all diligently strive for a harmonious existence, violence may still rend our skin and shatter our bones.

If a soldier witnesses the slaughtering of innocents, should we expect him to use words rather than immediate forceful intervention? I envision a world where such an option is effective, where words alone can instantly dispel the rage and fear that fuels violence, but I realize that some would dismiss these notions as flights of fancy. The way many perceive reality seems narrow and immutable to me, but I accept that difference of opinion.

I propose then that violent action should be strictly reactive. Never proactive. Violence should be the very last, desperate recourse, used only to stop an immediate moment of distress. It’s purpose should be the immediate return to a viably peaceful state for all.

I’ve been toying with this notion for over a year now.

I refuse the notion that some people are smart while others are not. We all have access to untold amounts of processing power.

Most of us can walk across a room while twiddling a pencil and holding a conversation. Think about that for a moment. How much information must be processed to accomplish such mundane feats?

Your brain is calculating a desired destination, path and speed, receiving feedback from the muscles in your legs and back, sending appropriate signals though your nervous system back to a host of muscles and constantly adjusting along the way.

While this is happening, a myriad of complex micro adjustments are being done at incredible speed to your hand twiddling the pencil. Feedback is again being received, analyzed, and reacted to. The hand being a marvel of precision and dexterity.

Furthermore, holding conversation entails formulating a thought, remembering words associated with those thoughts, stringing them into a coherent sentence, remembering how to articulate those words into sounds by breathing out air and precisely manipulating your vocal cords, mouth and tongue, choosing cadence, tone, volume, and again coordinating complex muscles, this time your tongue, lips, jaw, diaphragm, vocal cords and so on.

All at the same time.

Do you really think your brain can’t handle a mathematical equation? Or understand music? Or learn a new language, which you did as a baby. Hell, you didn’t even have any concept of verbal communication when you where born. A few short years later, you’re talking, potty trained and tying your shoes.

You are not unintelligent. To think that you are is absolute nonsense. You have access to vast mental capabilities and have been making use of them EVERY DAY.

After you initially learned to walk, most aspects of the task were progressively relegated to the subconscious. If you like math, and practice it, you will eventually master it. If you don’t like it, you will not put in the sustained effort required to allow your subconscious mind to handle the heavy lifting as it is designed to do. The same goes for any other activity. You have the option, you just need to pursue it.

One should ignore the acerbic disposition often found in public criticism and judgement.

Gold is collected from thin veins sorted out from the useless junk that naturally surrounds it. Similarity, learn to see wisdom and observation where it lies, even when embedded within negativity.

In an exercise of empowerment through self discovery, I had recently thought to observe myself at my lowest. The idea was to acknowledge and own my demons. I intended to experience this in a short, isolated, controlled session. Without having taken further conscious steps towards accomplishing this, my mood and spirit have taken a dramatic turn for the worst over the past month. I have become vindictive, reclusive, loathsome, selfish, lazy, fearful… the list is long. Furthermore, my foulness is now affecting those around me, turning love and support into bitterness and resentment. Only now do I see that I am experiencing exactly what I sought.

Here’s the thing. I’ve hit the bottom and bounced back a few times before. I remember well how low I can fall. I have felt the edges of my own doom in times of great turmoil. Yet, I know there is lower still to go. But every joule of energy I expend going downwards feels like energy spent going in the direction opposite the way I want to be going.

I get it. It sucks. I suck. In this state, anyway. I can be an ass if I allow myself to be.

All efforts should be spent going up. There is already too much wasting going on in the world to be spending time on anything but positivity. I would like to see what I’m like at my absolute best.

Does one need to bounce off the bottom to ascend? I believe humans can, with enough will, reverse a free fall and take flight. One needs only choose to do so. Nobility and divinity are what one wants them to be. I stopped caring what the typical process is. I’m turning this snack-wagon around. I choose to ignore rules and conventions, setting my objectives and course as I see fit, discarding restrictive melodrama in the true aquarian way. Onwards and upwards. May the eternal golden age begin.

Excelsior!

People often mistake compassion and philanthropy with wanting everyone to accept their outlook.

Do you really want to help people? Do you really care what people want, regardless of wether or not it falls in line with what you want? Do you want people to be the lead in their own story, or do you want them to be characters in your story?

The multiple path approach.

To succeed.

Stop thinking in one path increments. Envision as many effective ways as you can to accomplish even the most menial task. Master the multiple timelines. Learn to do this in everyday life. In all the little things.

Soon you will understand that there is always a way. You can even see multiple options and choose your favourite.

With mastery earned through time and effort, you will become truly unstoppable. You will also learn to respect and appreciate the different paths others may choose to take.
