		<description>I think, therefore this reality IS the astral plane. There is no real / unreal, alive / dead, conscious / unconscious, hidden / revealed. There is no time. There is not even â€œnoâ€. The only thing Iâ€™m sure of is that dichotomies are, by definition, divisive. But then again, I may be crazy [but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for].

We are ALL wankers dreaming things into existence, whatever the fuck thatâ€™s supposed to mean, you feel me? ;)

Please donâ€™t construe my tone as negative [tho I guess I donâ€™t care much if u do what thou wilt]. Iâ€™m having a lot of fun here! I actually think the archons / cenobites / bushes just need a big hug from mommy.

But if youâ€™re chasing facts [and I know youâ€™re all salivating after those juicy matrix steaks] then consider that there are incredibly profound connections between genetics, immunology, pharmacology, and psychology [university education paying off at last]. However, the part of psychology that overlaps with spiritual experience is called â€œparapsychologyâ€ or â€œhallucinationâ€ and excised from the process of â€œscientificâ€ examination, and the world is poorer for it.

I think this is a result of those power hungry religious types claiming the â€œdreaming / hallucinatingâ€ part of psychology for themselves. I havenâ€™t read it yet, but I know Iâ€™m going to just love Timâ€™s â€œWitchcraft as Psychologyâ€ post. 
 
I think we all know by now â€œwhatâ€™s going onâ€. The question now appears to be why? [or why not?]. Unless you want to become better at doing it [we all want to be Neo sooo bad] then the question is how?

Until I can pin down some â€œdetailsâ€ [mmm, juicy] the answer to how is this: 

carefully at first, then with reckless abandon

[turn out the lights, donâ€™t try to save me]

peace [whatever the fuck that is] out

		<description>I've wondered if it's just fakery trying to convince us it is 'real'.  It's none of it 'real' it's just part of a cycle of time, and time is an illusion, so, in this sense, it is really a case of cultural unconciousness.  What is unconcious is what is seen.  What is concious is hidden.  Completely hidden.</description>

		<description>Clive Barker's Hellraiser movies.  Ritual sacrifice to access a different dimension granting extreme powers and not-quite-satisfying deep desires.  From Hell featured a magnetic cycling system to stimulate the pineal gland and access a different universe, again for power, lust, perversion, etc.  It is a powerful metaphor for the price of power, the price of the lust for power, and the reality that much of life at a certain level is banal and repetitive.
The whole Bush family for four generations, for example, could be Cenobites.  Drugs, sex, money, political power, social rank, and yet they are still wankers.</description>

		<description>I'd like to add something about psychic and dreaming phenomena that I think many people overlook.  In my experience, EVERY element and detail of any "significant" dream I've had was important, meaningful, and "carefully chosen".  In some cases it might take me several years to know the significance of a particular detail or symbol.  So, there is a more mysterious process going on than the mind simply creating costumes out of the most convenient psychological detritus.  Also, the content of many of these "significant" dreams I have had reveal a level of sophistication or moral development I did not consciously possess at the time I recorded the dream.

My hypothesis is that because time is an illusion (as any self-respecting mystic would tell you) dreams reveal knowledge and wisdom collected over ones entire lifetime, or even from the collective unconscious.  

None of this is particularly new or earth-shattering.  My point is simply that the details of any dream or vision are as important as the emotional tone and the plot.  There is a language there that has a grammar that can be parsed.</description>

		<description>Here's a quick theory for the simultaneous happenings...

Collective Consciousness.

Those who are in tune with more of their right brain activities, are in tune with the SELF of the Collective Consciousness (rather than the left-brain self of the personal ego).  Thus, we experience and think similarly because there is an underlying connection that we are in tune with.

Perhaps this what all those New Age 2012 prophecies are all about...

The "rebirth" (a lot of the 2012 prophecies talk about Dec. 21, 2012 opening up an alignment of planets, calling it the cosmic birth canal) or renewed awareness of the collective consciousness, the Force if you're a Star Wars fan, etc.</description>

		<description>this is truly cool.  

now the question becomes *why* this kind of stuff is going on.  i'm working on a theory &#38; some ideas i'll toss up later.  garrett and i arrived at similar ideas simultaneously (happening a lot), and it has to do with the similarities between classic ultradimensional abduction experiences/ritual abuse experiences/'ghost' sightings and twin peaks . . . .</description>

		<description>As usual, I like what you are onto.

I wonder if real life ritual abusers are modelling their techniques on the interdimensional beings abuse.  Not that they would even know it all the time, the real life ones might be so removed from the source that they dont know they are propogating the DNA of the freaky kreeps.

In Tantric Mantrayana, practices originate from a 'seed syllable'.  Or, depending on your experience of it, phenomenon reduce to a seed syllable.   Seed syllables are Om, Tam, etc.  I guess this is analogous to Logos in Gnostic wisdom.

Makes me wonder that we are creating all the connections.  The more we can connect the dots, the real-er it becomes, the more the entities can manifest, the real-er the apolcalypse becomes. .  In a way, the internet, right now, is facilitating the connections.  

Last night I woke up thinking of the exploding frogs mentioned in Jeremy's pages, and those creepy crows, and I felt like our current world had created those crows cunning.  I'm not over the edge here, just bear with me, cuz I dont think it is as simple as 'we are creating it all' new age stuff.

Consider that the facts on the internet keep getting jucier and jucier, the politics keep getting badder and badder, keeping  *(at least my* ) attention there.  For instance, the national ID card that is likely to get 'overwhelmingly' approved today is cloaked in a bill for emergency relief: tsunami, iraq emergency, etc.  How could anyone vote against a bill like that?  But with it comes the national ID.  Kinda reminds me of those crows that go for the frogs liver when they are screwing.

well......somehow this relates to what youre saying it's just taking me too long.

hope this aint my shit hung out on a shingle.

		<description>Almost anything within the occult uses symbols as its language.  Symbols, unlike letters and words, are the language devices of the right brain.  This is why artists and writers tend to be more right-brained.  They perceive and communicate in symbols, metaphors, etc.  What if symbolic language, ironically enough, is a step above traditional language?  And what if above that, there's telepathy?

If the world/dimension of altered, occult-like states of consciousness uses symbols or telepathy as its language, that would explain why many drug trips (and schizophrenics) report seeing geometric shapes and other such symbolic connections.  

What if the beings experienced in such rituals/experiences, are just symbols themselves?  Makes me think of the movie, Contact with Jodie Foster (based on the book by Carl Sagan).  In it, she supposedly travels to the planet Vega, and makes contact with an alien species using a cosmic highway.  Anyways, the being takes on the form of her father, a symbolic form that it created by telepathically analyzing her brain and deciding the best way to present itself.  Perhaps this is the similar process by which these beings are making contact with us.  They take on the form ("grey", angel, insect, animal spirit, relative, fairy, etc) that they think would be the most accepted.  Are they always right?  Probably not, but they try.

Also interesting to note.  I was watching a program on UFOs, and this scientist was trying to debunk the UFO experience.  He noted that a lot of the experiences are similar to certain disorders (like schizophrenia), and did an experience to try to recreate an alien encounter.  He took a grad student, hooked him up in a dark room, and stimulated various portions of the student's right brain.  The student, oddly enough, "experienced" contact with an indiscribable being.  So, does this mean that hallucinogenic and occult-altered states are merely illusions, or does it mean that stimulating areas of the right-brain open us up to things "beyond the veil" (the world of symbols and telepathy)?

Just a thought.</description>

He took a grad student, hooked him up in a dark room, and stimulated various portions of the student&#8217;s right brain.  The student, oddly enough, &#8220;experienced&#8221; contact with an indiscribable being.  So, does this mean that hallucinogenic and occult-altered states are merely illusions, or does it mean that stimulating areas of the right-brain open us up to things &#8220;beyond the veil&#8221; (the world of symbols and telepathy)?</p>
<p>Just a thought.</p>
