The colors are speaking to me, so I speak back. They ask me to come closer, to observe their shapes and forms. They invite me to touch, to explore, to experience. They tell me to be happy, to be innocent, to be free. As they explode from the ground, drip from the walls, and disappear into infinity, I am excited intrigued enchanted. For now, I am a child.

ntegral City describes the city as if it were a whole system, the human equivalent of the bee hive. It proposes an integral meta-framework to reframe cities as resilient, vibrant human habitats. [b]In the context of climatic/geographic life conditions, it explores the intentions, behaviors, cultures and social systems of individuals and groups in the city. It integrates the sciences of living systems, complexity, human development and energy fields, to optimize the emergence and sustainability of human capacities in the city for now and the future.[/b]

Add biotech to something like that, and “Gaia” is no longer a metaphor. And “civilization” is no longer something separate from nature.

What with this and the incarnation of the logos into the internet, I feel like a kid whose divorced parents are getting back together!

The key to this technique is the CymaScope, a new instrument that reveals detailed structures within sounds, allowing their architecture to be studied pictorially. Using high definition audio recordings of dolphins, the research team, headed by English acoustics engineer, John Stuart Reid, and Florida-based dolphin researcher, Jack Kassewitz, has been able to image, for the first time, the imprint that a dolphin sound makes in water. The resulting “CymaGlyphs,” as they have been named, are reproducible patterns that are expected to form the basis of a lexicon of dolphin language, each pattern representing a dolphin ‘picture word.’

if only we had people with preconscious access to sensory perceptions doing both phenomeno logy and neuro.

You see? There’s so much room for variation there. Theoretically we all deal with the same shared cultural content, but the way we contexualise it, the way we place a frame around the stuff to deal with it, what we choose to engage or disengage with, what acts on us, or what we act upon, makes all the difference.

You could be the wand itself and feel like god on earth, or you could be the holy grail of christ on the cross. You could have a pentacle that encloses the whole shimmering infinite void, or you could use your sword to take your sense impressions down to the level of virtual particles blinking in an out of existence in the femtosphere.

The Wand represents the will. Your ability to engage an object of focus and hold it, manifest it, apply your intent and sustain it. It represents dynamic, active force. When you use the wand you are the actor. You are the center of the drama. You make the rules, and everything that you find is yours to play with. The wand allows you to enter a new game and make it your own, or even create a new game altogether.
