Yes<!-- dad-->, mind puzzles, that's what excites me- magic, hacking, visualizing, creating. And, also: The drive to dissolve mental boundaries.

<p>
why do I try so hard? it has become culturally-sanctioned to behave atrociously, I don't wish to be another asshole.

I've come the closest ever to actually posting in the SPAZList. The reason is thus: nobody has said anything all that intelligent or even made a note about Novelty when discussing 2012 as a date, it has slightly irritated me...
</p>
<p>
Regardless of any Mayan correspondence, 2012 is nothing short of thus: the habits(or FORMS) that have been building upon themselves to greater and greater complexity have been doing so according to a fractal pattern all throughout the history of the known Universe(according to any and all observations made by Humanity thus far), the point at which the complexity(or DEPENDENCIES of said FORMS) of said Universe reaches infinity is mathematically predicted to be December 21, 2012.
</p>
<p>
An outcome that seems possible to me with this date is simply thus: the physical universe (4 dimensions) either merges with an Hyper-dimension or becomes some other kind of timeless entity as the wave collapses in on itself(singularity). ("We will become alien even to ourselves", etc.) (The Universe appears in many ways to be under the influence of an timeless/hyper-dimensional consciousness as it exists and is perceived by us in Time today... apparently driving it towards that unimaginable Something - see "Strange attractors" in Chaos Theory) (The brain exists as a hyper-dimensional tuning device that gives rise to Mind/consciousness bound to a physical-space-born organism.) (This is all just an experiment...)

Early man must have been a pretty evil little devil that not too many other
creatures could tangle with and live to tell the tale... Little bastard humans.

So far, man, has acted pretty much how I'd expect an alien race to inhabit a planet and develop itself upon it.

<p>Somehow, I feel free right now.</p>

i won't start<br/>

all i want to know is-<br/>
how aware are you?<br/>
do you know how you glow?<br/>
you have your vision,<br/>
what part do you play in it?

<p>i once had a vision (Tetrahydrocannabinol induction) that each mind or mindset had one purpose, that being to generate Novelty. that we were in some kind of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/capsulehotel" rel="external">capsule hotel</a>, each capsule containing our version of the universe perceived by us and therefore ours to make as we see fit... this is where Creativity comes into play. there would be novelty meters placed above each of the capsules and the higher gods would walk the hallways taking notes on the Neophytes. this vision has come and gone over the last year or so, specifically peeking through during lsd25 hallucination (almost a year ago now) and being around bright light. this is the same image that is seen through Alex Grey's - <a href="http://alexgrey.net/a-gallery/8-24/dying.jpg" rel="external">Dying</a>. which i hadn't seen for years before a few months ago. the eye is a very recurring theme with psychedelic imagery (<em>window to the soul</em>, etc... yet another display of humanity's collective focus on the Visual sense: <em>see</em> what i mean?). sometimes i think about what kinds of things could actually be done to generate Novelty in some kind of ecstatic way.</p>

<p>... by getting them HIIIIGH... mj knows exactly what thc's purpose is when fused with the CNS.</p>

<p class="note">this isn't going to mean anything to anyone but me, but here goes: i asked the web standards and semantics afficionado: can i have blocks inside my object element (the object displays an image) that are called something like: shape-meaning-13? (these shape meaning blocks would then have the ability to be styled in a way such as to push text around the object in a more meaningful way) he asks in return: in what way is "shape meaning" a container for some kind of semantic data? there is inherent meaning in the shape of the imagery in question(linked by the object), "shape meaning" if necessary to have a raison d'etre <strong>information</strong>-wise could contain coordinates for drawing the image(i would imagine much like the way an SVG file is built: this a Scalable Vector Graphic file which is a specification of XML) - an PHP script could pull that data from this XML data and dump it into the shape meaning blocks, then later on in the processing the stylesheet pushes the textual data out of its own container and sizes the block to the correct width of the original graphical shape allowing text to flow around the image... etc. and all this because i wanted to float a nice image of a heart through the above text and have it wrap nicely around it... i wonder if there's an A List Apart article on how to actually do this (in a simplified way). the attached image contains only part of the heart graphic.</p>

<p>There is a Mason's temple next to this building that reads: <em>Dedicated to the Supreme Architect of the Universe</em></p>

<h3>Sept 14-16 :: NorCal Forest ::</h3>
<p>Journey to the beauty of deep Northern California forest land for a 48 hour gathering of psychedelic vibrations to align with rhythms of natural life in a return to your connection with all that is. Release limiting karma, drama and trauma in an alchemical odyssey of awakening to the inner wisdom within universal patterns of energy flowing as a river through wild ageless spaces. Allow the guidance of nature to enrich your path with more grace, joy, clarity, purpose, power, passion and creativity for manifesting your visions.</p>
<p>On the weekend of Earthdance we join a global ritual sending energetic roots to the planet's core and drawing dark Mother Earth essence spiraling to the heart of cosmos for reunion with the source. Derango returns to give us more of their Swedish forest magic in a live performance unlike any you will experience on this side of the world along with Ghreg On Earth's first fully live set in California and many others from talented local artists over two days of music progressing through a diverse range of psychedelic genres.</p>

<h3>:: Live ::</h3>
<ul>
<li>DERANGO (Sanaton / Parvati :: Sweden)

<p>Since the year 2000 Jens & Ola have been writing distinctly well crafted psytrance which earned them much respect in following years through phenomenal live performances and groundbreaking releases such as their debut album Tumult in 2005. The creativity of Derango is a full expression of the psychedelic experience transferred in music. Their huge sound pictures are created combining a solid warm base with waves of sounds from synths and samples in constant change and movement. The result is a unique wrapping effect that gives to the listeners on one side the safe feeling of the belonging to mother-earth womb and, on the other side, the challenge of discovering and understanding that our mind and spirit have no borders.</p>
</li>

<li>GHREG ON EARTH (M.o.E. / Auraquake :: San Francisco)

<p>As an aural architect, Ghreg constructs sonic structures of mysterious, melodious worlds which offer spaces otherwise concealed in the deep abyss of the subconscious. Guided by his passion for cutting edge music, art and literature from the psychedelic and mystical underground, his timeless sound realizes the magical properties of music to guide people into cinematic passages of expanded personal experience.</p>

<li>ARAHAT (Psycircle :: San Diego)</li>

<p>I dreamt I bought a large archaic-looking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder" rel="external">recorder</a> from someone that was dumpster diving for $5. I then brought it over to an old lot where a building used to be to show it to some people I knew. Upon playing it a black snake appeared out of the ground, then a green snake, then many many green snakes and one of them was close enough to bite me and did so.</p>
<p>I can't really sleep much recently. Serpents are in my dreamland often.</p>

<p>i have loved an xenomorph<br/>
and given birth to myself as a new kind of organism<br/>
guided by light<br/>
stripped of all convention<br/>
i <strong>am</strong> and <strong>can</strong> code<br/>
interfaced with foreign information systems<br/>
in a state of magical resonance<br/>
infused with song and imagination<br/>
show me<br/>
take me<br/>
hold me<br/>
tell me<br/>
i would also like to show you.<br/>
i saw tribal societies being infused with alien technologies<br/>
i saw entire civilizations being harvested and transported in grotesque ways<br/>
i saw the lines being blurred in every way possible<br/>
i saw my body as a vestigial vessel, an outgrowth of this planet<br/>
i felt an <a href="http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/nc40199209.html" rel="external">earthquake</a> hit<br/>
i saw my relationship to time changing to prepare for infinity.<br/>
i saw a glowing book</p>
