Remove the Rationalization Filter
Our brains ability to extract patterns from what is popularly dismissed as random information is not a glitch. The rise of rationalistic thought and its veneration as a supposed panacea for all human shortcomings is more of an aberration than any of our innate mental functions or instincts. People usually struggle a great deal with…

Cosmological Reasoning
But aren’t our brains limited to just what we need to survive here on this planet? Are you saying we can open channels to use the rest of our inhibited knowledge? I am saying that. The constraints of the brain and body on this planet are not absolute, not even necessarily natural. We have the…

Divination Opens the Channel
Our divination systems are like the proverbial butterfly, picking up all the currents? Indeed. The fluttering of any simple system, a flock of birds or school of fish, is sensitive to changes in every other system. Though some information gets lost as the scope of information exchange expands, it’s not lost all together but is…

Who I Am
For today’s topic I have to ask, who do you think you are? What thoughts does this question raise? A being hard to define. What happens if you don’t know who you are? Life can be hard if you don’t know who you are. Well, I suppose like in the extreme amnesia case it would…

Selfing
Why do people “self” so much? I can’t think of another word for it. They choose words and actions that support one abstract goal, a hollow goal from what I can tell. It leaves them feeling empty and alone, this self image. “Who do I think I am?” Everyone seems to have an answer for…

Do All the Things
Anyone familiar with the bicameral mind theory? Two hemispheres? It does indeed involve the two hemispheres. All the sane praying to god and making sacrifices and stuff like that? They did things as a matter of course that would land someone today in a criminal insane asylum for life. Well, the theory is that consciousness…

Right Brain Priority
So how do we reconcile our conscious mind and this insane god with that little spark of truth in us? Metanoia is a process. The true mind is a hologram having two seeming different vectors. Two beams of light that merge to reveal the genuine image. We do not normally let them interact let alone…

Fostering Metanoia
Now how to foster metanoia… There are elaborate rituals, vast moral guidelines, richly elaborate creeds complex to the point of being almost completely obtuse. It’s arguable that all theurgic ritual, all religious ritual, serves this purpose. Ecstasy. To leave you standing outside of yourself. Your self as you are normally conscious of it. Even if…

Sensory Impression
What is your present familiarity with collective memory? Mostly genetic. Stuff we’re “programmed” to do through DNA. A notion of connection via the astral. What is it to perceive something? Usually through the senses. To have sensory awareness of an object. It has been established even in mainstream labs that what we perceive is more…

Reconstructed Neural Patterns
What is memory? Memory seems to be recalling experiences from your brain. They have found in experiments that when you imagine something you have never experienced, and when you recall something you once did experience, you use the same systems in your brain. So imagination employs memory. Indeed it does. The predominant theory about memory…

Substrate of Collective Memory
So, everything dreams. Everything dreams and research shows that the biggest portion of our genetic transformation takes place at night. Everything dreams and the dreaming process follows the same rules of organic chemistry and physics. Long term memories are formed, old memories are weighed and their dominance adjusted in the connectome or just preserved. The…

Memory Management
Let’s move on to the informational then, perhaps starting with the most obvious and visceral concern, the dead. They have discovered in neuroscience that parts of our brain learn to recognize, mimic and predict the behaviour of those close to us, those we know well. This usually has no mind bending impact until the known…
-
Spirit Facet
Beyond the dead, and the imprint they leave on collective memory, we have what could be called the spirits. What would later be called the gods. Every trend in human behaviour, every trend in animal behaviour, in living behaviour in any form, existed before those organisms themselves emerged. The reason you are capable of feeling…
-
Fringe Zone of Collective Memory
Perhaps the fringe zone of the collective memory… There are many small subdomains each showing its own character and paradigm of traits, but out on the fringe you have the noise zone. According to Jung the universal concept of hell was the manifestation of everything human cultures found disturbing and persistent and none the less…

Acceptance is Necessary
As for the substantial reality of all this, everything that you experience is grounded in this body of information. Everything that you had the potential to experience, everything that “manufactured” your ability to experience this world, is also grounded in this information. You are incapable of making up anything alien to it. You literally cannot…

Satyrs: Beyond Imagination
To start, what do we already understand about satyrs? They are horny. Goat legs and horns. They chase and seduce nymphs. The unknown, a level of human consciousness that has proven all pervasive throughout history, contact between cultures, especially those first contact moments, were often filled with misunderstanding evidenced by the example of the first…
-
Culture of the Satyrs
The culture of the satyrs could be expressed as a spirit, one that would have seemed foreign and strange to the native Greeks as Dionysus was to begin with, also. The concept of patron deities to the city states would not be so strange if you think about it. Do our cities not even now…

Satyrs: Emerged into Mythos
The Roman strigoi and Greek maenads might have been heavily influenced by the satyr people, to the point of imagery such as the thyrsus being present. The thyrsus is an older version of the rod of Aesculapius. Aesculapius himself having been said to have been tutored by the satyr/centaur chiron. The Norsemen were big horsemen were…

I will be exploring more specifically the ‘psychic and paranormal’ phenomenon. Perhaps they will help you understand more about yourself. As Derek Acorah is quoted, “Everyone who is born to the Earth has the psychic ability lying dormant.”
Do I have concrete psychic/spiritual experiences? Indeed. I am defined medically as autistic, meaning I’m “self absorbed.” I experience the internal processes first. The neural structure that screens things and slows down sense impression for processing doesn’t work for me. Sensory impressions come to me like abstract input and I interpret stuff “strangely.”
I “order” information in a certain way, and I have no subconscious as others understand it. Dream like imagery is a part of my waking experience, so forms a psycho sensory gestalt. Someone I meet in person, her personal presence her personality and any symbolism, form a fused construct in my mind, and I have a language focus because it provides a framework for cognitive organization. Even incorporating some terms from languages other than my birth tongue.
For myself experience and practice came first.
