Subliminal Advertising & Micromessaging

Better than hidden messages within a text is to have entire hidden worlds, webs of wondrous shimmering reference points, ways of life and whole systems of art, beauty and philosophy hidden within the work you create.

    Excellent point.

    I see two types of thought-viruses spreading:
    1) memetic piggybacking…effective but old hat. It is almost as if eating a feast that does not fill you, but you can feel inside you. The thought embeds tiny fingerlike roots into your brain and relies on our energy for propgation

    2) thought weaving – difficult, hit-miss, but powerful. What stays with us more than the vivid colors that our childhood fantasies burned on to the backs of our eyelids? The creation of parallel worlds with depth and meaning seems to, as you said, open up so many more connection points to build on.

    Where has the magic gone?

    Does this imply that we are our brain-energy, but we are not our thoughts? Just curious, not sure myself…

    This ‘twilight language’ is employed to simultaneously evoke a spectrum of sub rosa meanings and concealment of esoteric truths through intentionally opaque language, metaphor, gesture, codes and signs.

    To provide a cypher of the code of saṃdhyā-bhāṣā, the authors drew upon: semiotics, symbolism, iconography, Asian religions, Asian Philosophy, Indian religions, Indian philosophy, Buddhist symbolism, temple architecture, cosmology, mathematical notations, Zen Buddhism, Japanese Art, meditation, personal sadhana, tantra, macrocosm-microcosm parallelism, dialogue with many teachers including Anagarika Govinda and senior members of the Krishnamurti community.

Also, what’s the word they invented or were using on Wired a few years back about electronics which have psychedelic (or similar, at least) effects?
