By that standard, Tim’s about as guilty as you can get!

As for the morality of projection? Beats me. Awareness is the weapon of discernment, though. My memes haven’t hurt anyone so far as I’m aware.

He makes great points about the fact that VISION STATEMENTS seems to be raw material for the Universe — so many of them wind up being assembled in reality later on.

Like an affirmation or something?

So is it wrong to want it to be you? Is that selfish and unenlightened?

I hold out both possibilities as having merit. “Just wanting to get something out there” as well as wanting to “get paid”

I mean if you are an artist, say, is it a bad thing to want money and recognition while you are still alive? Do you have to die “penniless and insane” to be great?

If its more noble to be a Tesla than a Bill Gates, is being Bill gates bad?

Personally: more than happy to be labeled weirdo, hippie, and/or flake for another few years. The more detail I can project from the Utopian space I’ve been dreaming since birth, the more real it will become for the rest of y’all. The same is also true for anyone reading this. Recognizing these innate human powers outright and treating them as operational facts definitely alarms people — and that’s fine. That’s job security, right there.

I think the MandalaOS project has been remarkably fertile so far. I would like to open the dreamtime communications channel more directly in the immediate future. The more absurdity I can allow, the more possibilities I can percieve — that’s what keeps me focused on Omnivate LLC.

The telephone obviously doesn’t create telepathy. In the same way I don’t think the internet creates a shamanistic way of perceiving and connecting with the world.

The medium is the message. We just need to tune ourselves into it as best we can.

@ Tim-O:

If an invention has been described in prior art, a patent on that invention is not valid.

Wow. Just, wow.

A “validity search” is a prior art search done after a patent issues. The purpose of a validity (or invalidity) search is to try to find prior art that the patent examiner overlooked so that a patent can be declared invalid.

The end of monopolies?

Prior art (also known as state of the art, which also has other meanings), in most systems of patent law,[1] constitutes all information that has been made available to the public in any form before a given date that might be relevant to a patent’s claims of originality. If an invention has been described in prior art, a patent on that invention is not valid.

I never can tell with you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_mover_advantage

“First-mover advantage is the advantage gained by the initial occupant of a market segment. This advantage may stem from the fact that the first entrant can gain control of resources that followers may not be able to match.[1] Sometimes the first mover is not able to capitalise on its advantage, leaving the opportunity for another firm to gain second-mover advantage.”

I have a form of scrying I do. I do it while I am sketching. I can have a tendency to be too tight when I sketch. So somtimes I just make a bunch of small scribbles that looks dense like foam or wool or something, then objects begin to appear out of the void, often quite elegant.

As I shape the foam into something it often turns out better than if I had set out to sketch that particular thing to begin with.

I think ts similar to how sculptors see things within the wood and bring it out.

I think the scribbles represent the quantum field. Absolute possibility; formlessness. I think I actually connect with that field. Also when I draw, I project the image sensually into time and space. I feel the energy of the image the way I would feel the energy of a real animal or person sitting across from me.

So I think my sketch pad and pencil are just a way of tracking this process. But through drawing I have gotten a lot of insights into magic and voodoo and so forth.

I think some artists are more magical than others. Some draw figures with stilted anatomy and blank doll eyes and others create images that appear to have sprit breathed into them and sensuous anatomy. The eyes are the windows to the soul and an image with a soulful look in the eye must in some way have a soul within the image.

Do you just like the way “LLC” rolls off your tongue or are you creating a real LLC and looking for venture capital and stuff?

I never can tell with you.

You know how in that clip Rupert Sheldrake talks about people experiencing “telephone telepathy?”

The telephone obviously doesn’t create telepathy. In the same way I don’t think the internet creates a shamanistic way of perceiving and connecting with the world.

People were telepathic before the telephone. I think the technology just points to the phenomena of telepathy. It interacts with the telepathy.

I think the internet creates reference points, for these shamanic thought experiments you are doing. Its like a scaffolding around it.

The original “speedbird” made a comment on my blog about the relation between the internet and “Indra’s net”

There apparently are shamans that can leave their bodies and travel the world. I believe these accounts. I think its rare, but I think there are people that can do it. People that have done the neccessary training. You also can kind of travel the world online, through the internet.

But its not really the same thing. They are related.

But anyway you need reference points to locate people and places in time and space. The telephone telepathy means that people have each others adress, psychically. People and pets also. I think this web technology could perhaps help people locate things.

# What is it for a group to create and experience a “collective” consciousness?
# What practices might a group develop to nurture such a state of awareness and intelligence?
# What role might the awareness of such a collective consciousness play in today’s emerging political and business world?
