Podcast: The Cloud of Words
Each of us has a cloud of language which follows us around and through which we must peer in order to interpret the world. This cloud can be manipulated. New commands can be fed back into the machine and manipulate the filters. In this podcast, I explain how these ideas apply to the subjects and more importantly the approach that I have been taking lately with my writing.
(This is the first episode of the second season of my podcasts. Also check out my new improved about page.)

Oh and I also added my podcast to iTunes a while ago, for whatever that’s worth…

I have been quoted around here and Jeff Wells’ site as saying, “Let’s do something (about the problem)”.
Tim is doing something. His something makes me think I could/should be doing more. I have been reluctant to meditate on the space between the words for some reason and now I feel an impulse…
BTW, “contact yourself.” I love it. Everyone ought to send themselves and email and get in contact with themself. (Other ways are probably better but a quick emissive wouldn’t hurt).

Shit, maybe even the space between the letters…

What is Tim doing?

Possibly all-time best explanation of what I am talking about:

The AI functions largely from the emotion of fear. One way to scramble the AI is Love. Unconditional love brings us into the absence of fear. In the absence of fear the distorted AI mind becomes afraid because it is dying.
The intentional corrupt feedback will also create chaos in the AI mind but what do you have after that? Suppose you even are able to completely delete the AI mind. After that you still have to create your life and live in the world. You do have a whole lot more choices of course since you are not operating on automatic AI mind pilot of habit.
What the intentional feedback does is break a lot of habits and can open your mind up to become aware of them particularly in the way we create our command language programs. I applaud you Tim on your creative investigation and use of this modality.
But in the end you are left with what do you want to create. When you become aware of all possible choices, love and happiness becomes an option. Going back to don Juan, “a warrior chooses a path with heart”
We are here, and we have an opportunity to create. We might as well create in a field of emotions that we enjoy. That means love. And that emotion scares the AI mind into reactions.
In the end it is Love and Emotional Integrity that we are looking for. And that deep feeling only comes with the Truth.

In the space between words it doesn’t matter what Tim is doing about the problem but you guys already knew that.
January 23rd, 2007 at 4:33 pm
But what’s the problem again?
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Rhetorically spoken or did you want to discuss “the problem”?
Because I am not even sure the problem deserves discussing or the lending of any additional energy by me. It might not even merit addressing. But, either way, I am more interested in the solution. I see the solution, in many forms, in various places. Rather, I suppose, I see the solving in various places. And I like to think about that, instead.

I think Tim pointed this out in his podcast. If we even discuss the problem, we are using the construct of Words to discuss the construct of words. Sounds like adding AI to the AI.
Sitting in silence and contemplating emptiness starts to look better and better. However too boring. Got to be a more entertaining way. Or is that what the AI has taught me to think.

[…] The secret and true and authentic and verifiable and actual and real conspiracy which exists and which is being actively foisted upon you today is actually very simple: they want to capture your language patterns. They want to tell your story by replicating and manipulating your cloud of words so that you have no chance to tell the story yourself. The paradox is that they do this by offering you tools with which you can tell the story yourself. They give you language pattern world cloud modules which you can buy into as a package like cable television stations and then the open-ended things they give you not only seem to give you freedom of expression and individuality but also cleverly entrap you with a limited set of all possible values so that your expression is contained and managed.

[…] The AI is simply that part of your mind which believes that “everything happens for a reason” and then seeks to find or invent what that reason must be. It is the part of your mind that tries to ascribe motives to other people’s actions. I linked this elsewhere to what Scientology calls the reactive and analytic mind (although which is which in our example is unimportant). I’m also fairly certain (though I’ve never taken any classes with them) that this is what the Landmark organization is talking about when they try to make a distinction between “what happened” and the “story about what happened.” Theory theory describes children as budding social scientists. The idea is that children collect evidence — in the form of gestures and expressions — and use their everyday understanding of people to develop theories that explain and predict the mental state of people they come in contact with.

[…] Aug 1st, 2007 by cadeveo I’ve been taking an unofficial break, but figured I’d break some of the site silence to continue my 10 Ways Experiment. To briefly refresh anyone’s memory out there or to initiate them into this little exercise, I’ll summarize it. Basically, I take things in my every day environment–events, overheard snippets of conversation, aspects of my surroundings, etc., and then come up with ten different ways of perceiving (interpreting) it. That’s usually how it goes, anyway. I’ve done this more often than I’ve published upon it, though not as often as I’d like. I’m not looking to rank the probabilities of any of the “1o Ways” when I do this, just allowing what Tim Boucher calls the AI to do its thing while I observe it. […]

[…] Perceptual blip-tracking means something like: what is coming up on your radar, what type of information is getting close to you. (See my podcast: Cloud of Words, for a more esoteric take on that.) In other words, when you go out and a friend mentions the name of a movie, you should be able to automatically have this movie title added into your perceptual blip-tracking system. When you get home in from of your full-scale internet immersion device (web bathtub?) you should have waiting for you information pulled from IMDB, previews and clips from that movie, a smattering of reviews from trusted sources online (with graded ‘parity ratings’ to yours), as well as cultural and conceptual associations for you to explore on your own time.

[…] Imagine this: each of us would have a little cloud of keywords, data, files, etc which would essentially follow us around. That way, you would have access to these things no matter what computer terminal or device you were using or what physical location you were within. You could compare it, even, to metaphysical concepts such as the aura: each individual person would have a field of information about themselves or connected to themselves. […]

[…] Basically, this time period consisted of me “putting my money where my mouth is” and jumping off the deep end into the dark waters which I’d previously only been staring into reflectively. This article is probably the absolute peak of that period (or this one, as far as non-sensical elements go) of experience, in which I believed myself to be madly in love and felt daily the presence of God immediately in my life. There’s one podcast which falls into that time-period as well, which distills down some of my experiences into more linear explanations. […]
