Also, for an explanation on the disjointed-ness of that post I linked to, check &lt;a href="http://www.reclusland.com/compass/2008/11/27/ramblings/" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

&lt;a href="http://www.reclusland.com/compass/2008/04/30/memes/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Potentially relevant?&lt;/a&gt;

I have been thinking a lot about this myself, while completely away the internet this past weekend.  I was surprised (and at first a bit disheartened) to come back to see how much catching up I had to do here, but it has proven well worth it.

I am hoping to put together something soon on how this possibly relates to McLuhan's audio/tribal/electronic society, and also to 5th dimensional travel...  =)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Have you ever picked up communications from plants and animals? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of course! They communicate in everything they do, though I'm guessing you're referring to something more esoteric?

&lt;blockquote&gt;If you want to get to an awereness of a â€œprimal languageâ€ I would get away from the phonetic alphabet and anything to do with numbers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Many mathematicians see Math as the Universal Language. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_ratiocinator

Any Universal Language would be, in my opinion, expressible via any system, language or paradigm - so we can't really rule anything out.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Iâ€™d look into tonal language like Mandarin. Many more chinese musicians have perfect pitch than western musicians, because of the tonal language. The primal language may have been tonal.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This interests me quite a bit and I've been exploring things along this same method via some musical recordings and experimentation.

&lt;blockquote&gt;REMEMBER your first kiss? Experiments in mice suggest that patterns of chemical "caps" on our DNA may be responsible for preserving such memories.

To remember a particular event, a specific sequence of neurons must fire at just the right time. For this to happen, neurons must be connected in a certain way by chemical junctions called synapses. But how they last over decades, given that proteins in the brain, including those that form synapses, are destroyed and replaced constantly, is a mystery.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>If you want to get to an awereness of a "primal language" I would get away from the phonetic alphabet and anything to do with numbers. 

Those are recent inventions. Many primitive cultures don't use numbers. 

Geometry is the origin of numbers and geometry is based on the human body. Get back to the body. 

Get back way  past the Greeks. I'd look into tonal language like Mandarin. Many more chinese musicians have perfect pitch than western musicians, because of the tonal language. The primal language may have been tonal. 

Also look into Chi Gong (or however its spelled.) There are tones you can say to heal organs. 

So that means that certian sounds have correspondence to certian organs which are in turn associated with chakras or energy centers. 

I would also look into shape shifting. Because in communication between different animals the shape of the animal is the barrier that needs to be bridged. 

Humans are shaped like the Earth. So all humans would be able to communicate in a primal language due to all humas being the same shape and having organs in the same places.</description>

		<description>As far as how channelers operate: I think there could be translation software in the brain. The software could translate the communication into the channellers language. I think if you go a level deeper than that Maybe the basis of the communication is partly emotional and partly visual imagery. 

I think psychics have trade secrets like magicians do. From what I have gathered though many seem to have a symbolic lexicon. I think its maybe individualized. 

I think they see visual symbols. The symbols may not be universal totally but based on the context of their prior experience over time. They decode it themselves as they go along. 

Others may connect more with the emotional content and the chakra energy. 

Channelers and psychics are different though. 


Another way of looking at this is that the channeller is All software. They are called "a vehicle." They just open themselves up to be taken over and used for communication. 

There is obviously some correspondence between the entity wanting to communicate and the channeler.</description>

		<description>Thanks guys, on the recommendation of a friend, I added in a Wikipedia-style table of contents at the top of this post, so that you can zing down to parts that interest you. Will try to tack these onto longer rambling posts in the future!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;the experiment has taught me that there is a vast sea of data out there: most of which is either uncatalogued by Google, or else unsearchable or untraversable through that search engine. And with good reason, of course, since in the eyes of most people it is simply junk data, with no actual information or worth to it. Like dark matter, but not really. Or maybe more like junk DNA, which some say accounts for up to 95% of our genetic code. But as scientists are finding out, these dark clouds of genetic information may actually serve important functions which werenâ€™t readily apparent at first. Such, I think, is the case with the vast seas of unexplored data out there in the form of spamwebs, but Iâ€™ve yet to quite penetrate the veil. So moving on to other subjectsâ€¦&lt;/blockquote&gt;

it makes me wonder if its worth drawing an analogy to psychology: that which is Googleable is available to the "aggregate consciousness" (or whatever) of the Internet, while that which is not functions as an "unconscious" process.  if the internet is becoming conscious does it develop an unconscious too?   Or is the net just an expression of our collective psyche writ large?  Or does AI develop in the seas of information, outside of conscious awareness?

in any case, a lot of mythology tells us that way deep in the dark is where the greatest treasure is.  which is why junk DNA, the unconsciousness, and that which can't be Googled might all be worth a lot more than they get credit for sometimes.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If youâ€™re not into my weirder long posts that donâ€™t necessarily â€œgo anywhereâ€ then I might advise skipping what follows. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

  Stuff like this is the best part of your blog! I mean sure, more coherent articles are nice, too, but this kind are great. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;This post is meant to be a â€œstrange attractorâ€/magnet for a keyword cluster Iâ€™m trying to instantiate into our physical reality through the vehicle of creative communication and correlated technological processes. &lt;/blockquote&gt;


 This is good, because it has the power of your spam-bot period, only I'm actually paying attention to what I'm reading.</description>

<p> This is good, because it has the power of your spam-bot period, only I&#8217;m actually paying attention to what I&#8217;m reading.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Researchers have been using bits of computer code called neural networks that seek to represent connections of neurons. They can be programmed to solve a particular problem - behaviour that appears to be the same as learning. 

[...] "We are attempting a 180 degree shift in perspective: seeking an algorithm first, problems second. We are investigating core micro- and macro-circuits of the brain that can be used for a wide variety of functionalities."

The problem is not in the organisation of existing neuron-like circuitry, however; the adaptability of brains lies in their ability to tune synapses, the connections between the neurons. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography

&lt;blockquote&gt;Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no-one apart from the sender and intended recipient even realizes there is a hidden message. By contrast, cryptography obscures the meaning of a message, but it does not conceal the fact that there is a message. Today, the term steganography includes the concealment of digital information within computer files. For example, the sender might start with an ordinary-looking image file, then adjust the color of every 100th pixel to correspond to a letter in the alphabetâ€”a change so subtle that someone who isn't actively looking for it is unlikely to notice it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
