User ID: 57873743 ![]() 05/11/2023 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I haven't written anything of actual substance for awhile anywhere so here is where I will do it Quoting: Skyracula What is an archetype progenitor? It's someone that uses technology AND magic to change the collective consciousness of mankind, the Zeitgeist itself. What is a Reality Bender up until now I've been trying to explain this all under the heading of chaos magick....but people misunderstand me instantly and fundementally when I call it that. Reality bending is much better. Reality bender merely refers to someone with the ability to manipulate the unseen. Which is actually everybody to some degree. Like any other talent, some people have more of it than others. Also like any other talent, practice helps. fundamentally of course reality bending IS magick, but it is not traditional magick. traditional magick existed before a huge fundamental shift in consciousness. the cybernetic shift in consciousness forces the genius of ancients to be patched, because all of it were based on tenants that described a former reality actually drastically dissimilar to our own. Even the reality of the thelemists is an alien one compared to this century's, and they are the most recent of traditional practice. That which is cybernetic is now so adjacent to what most would call "the real", insanity is arising from people's inability to distinguish. . the need to update our definition of "the real world" is only going to get more dramatic, greater. this is true not only of magic but of science and religion and philosophy. Cybernetic magic/networks Part of being a reality bender in this modern era is using the new cybernetic form of human experience, one that can go global in seconds, an upgraded form of magick with new principles and properties. Two computer monitors linked by a network are sharing more than just a connection to the same signal. The end user is connected to the other end user, in the mundane sense of interaction but also in the magical sense. philip Dick started perceiving this decades before it became actualized. If my hypothesis is correct, and maybe one day this can be studied by someone with funding and interest in these topics, than normal remote viewing abilities should be higher between two people in front of a monitor than two people “in the wild”. What is the natural "Indra's Net" as it were? It's the morphogenetic network, a system of oscillating interconnectivity that occurs naturally by way of existence. this has been alluded to as long as dragon worship/snakes have been around. Some people experience the framework of the morphogenetic "indra's net", when taking DMT/ayahuasca, as extending towards them like snakes. We could call this "indrasnet" the analogue aether. but there is a new route other than the old “aetheric” or “morphogenetic” network, The digital aether is brand new and can also work in conjunction with the analogue aether, augmenting the results significantly. This claim is entirely anecdotal and not scientific at all, but I would be utterly fascinated to learn the results of sincere research into 'digitally augmented ESP'. archetype vs meme an archetype progenitor, like a meme warrior, is looking to change a much larger collective. Memes have been given many different conceptual illustrations: that they replicate like DNA, that they can spread quickly like a virus, that what they infect people with is ideas. All of that is fine. But an archetype is not a meme. "The Zeitgeist of Collective Consciousness" - not a meme, an archetype. Crowley's word of the aeon, actually. An archetype is generally a huge mythological omnibus of great significance to humanity as a whole, whether they recognize and accept said influence or not An example: the archetype of the mother - may include Isis, Mary Magdalena, Ishtar, or Your specific Mom You may tell yourself and everyone you ever meet that the archetype of The Mother had no influence on you, but you're a human. it is inescapable for you to be influenced to some degree by this archetype, even if you did not have a mom at all THAT is the level of impact an archetype has : it is fundamental to human experience, it does not require any conscious scrutiny or acknowledgement. Archetypes seem to change at about the rate that water erodes a canyon, and archetypes tend to be incredibly enduring, like the zodiac. a MEME: a your mom joke 'cat videos' a chad I think we all know at this point what a meme is. they are incredibly contagious and can "infect" enormous portions of humanity internationally en masse overnight (this is why we have a memetic warfare department) However, memes are generally: superficial in substance compact fall off relatively quickly, sometimes in days. (even if one manages to last a few years or a decade, compared to an archetype that is incredibly short lived) unlike memes, which derive their existence from people knowing about them, an archetype will still influence everyone just as strongly, whether they are known about by said person or not. for example, you don't need to know there is an Archetype called The Shadow to be controlled by yours. And as a human being, you cannot escape having one - in both the literal and metaphorical sense progenitor I think there are very few times there is any need for a NEW archetype. but obviously creating one would be a big deal, perhaps even a temporal paradox. I would expect the mythological aspect to be experienced similarly to the way Ophiuchus was restored to the zodiac. weirdly conspicuous in its former absence and yet accepted naturally as having always been there If you created a new archetype, the archetype itself would be a mandala effect to fashion yourself as an archetype progenitor, would be frankly incredibly presumptuous it's more likely that a collective cultural or existential need unique to the dawning of new times becomes responsible for its own creation So, is that what we are really dicking around with ? is the herald of The New Age a new Archetype? probably Point me where I can get a good download on Thelemists. |

The revelations do not come from consciousness, but from its reverse. Consciousness, in the modern era - some hundreds of years old now, Descartes with his battle cry I think therefore I am - has steadily ousted all the other ways of perception a human is endowed with, cutting mankind off from his primal connection with the planet, and producing the current state of affairs where destruction, alienation, perversion, and materialism reign supreme.

Hive mind, neural networks are not the ultimate goal of humanity, but of something else. I believe it does have one, but comprised of more than just humanity. I believe the "neural network" of earth is comprised of every organism on it, not just humankind. I believe that earth as an entirety is a larger collective of a nested system, similar to how our bodies are larger systems comprised of smaller parts like cells, muscles, and organs. With respect to the bolded portion, have you actually tried it? I have. We are electric entities. Consciousness is neither in the material nor the cybernetic world. Consciousness is capable of utilizing that which it can imagine and that which it wills. It is merely a matter of imagination. The utilization of digital networks may not sound appealing to you, many traditionalists argue the same thing. But as for, "whether it works" - Yes. It works, in my experience. Purely anecdotal, but that's more than enough for me to make use of. I am not here to "prove" these concepts - rather, I am offering a sort of theoretical approach, for those who are interested, to perhaps try. If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. That's fine.

Yes...it's taken from a conspiracy theory from the late 50's that suggested a supercomputer sent synthetic bots throughout the universe to collect any and all relevant data. Its formulated from a much earlier materialists idea that if the ability to map and redesign or structure reality. It would essentially become a self enforcing simulation or loop. See: Maxwell's demon, hypothetical intelligent being (or a functionally equivalent device) capable of detecting and reacting to the motions of individual molecules. It was imagined by James Clerk Maxwell in 1871, to illustrate the possibility of violating the second law of thermodynamics. |
