"there is nothing

reality"

_Perception Of Reality_ MP3

reality then becomes a "shared
hallucination", meaning that there is a cemented, agreed upon
perception of something. if there was a race of people living on
an island who thought that the color
green was
actually the color pink, are they wrong? to the majority of the
people on this planet, maybe, but to them the notion of "being wrong"
about something like that is
absurd.
they are simply not sharing in the agreed upon perception, or
hallucination. wars are fought over this kind of
difference. in order for us to stop fighting, and even arguing (a
waste of valuable
time), we must simply
accept that "green" is "pink" to some people.

"'reality' is for people who can't handle drugs..."
The
fractal-enhanced map-point
leaflet announced a giant, illegal party -- a rave, where
thousands of celebrants would take
psychedelics,
dance to the blips of computer-generated music,
and discuss the ways in which reality itself would soon conform to
their own hallucinatory projections. No big deal. Bohemians have talked
this way for years, even centuries. Problem is, after a few
months in their midst, I started believing them.

Quantum physicists at the best institutions agree that the tiniest particles making up matter itself have ceased to behave with the predictability of linear equations. Instead, they jump around in a discontinuous fashion, disappearing, reappearing, suddenly gaining and losing energy.
Mathematicians, likewise, have decided that the
smooth, geometric model of reality they have used since Euclid first
drew
a triangle on papyrus is obsolete. Instead, using computers, they churn
out psychedelic paisley patterns which they claim more accurately
reflect
the nature of existence. And who appears to be taking all this in
first?
The kids dancing to electronic music at underground gatherings. And the
conclusion they have all seemed to reach is that reality itself is up
for
grabs. It can be
dreamt
up.

reality
(rê-àl´î-tê)
noun
plural realities
1.The quality or state of
being actual or true.
2.One, such as a person,
an entity, or an event, that is actual: "the weight of history and
political
realities" (Benno C. Schmidt, Jr.).
3.The totality of all things
possessing actuality, existence, or essence.
4.That which exists
objectively
and in fact: Your observations do not seem to be about reality.
5.Philosophy. That which
has necessary existence and not contingent existence.
- idiom.
in reality
In fact; actually.
In
Huichol, the term "nierika" refers to a
portway between so-called ordinary and non-ordinary realities. It
is a passage way and at the same
time
a barrier between two worlds. Nierika, a decorated ceremonial
disk, is also said to mean mirror as well as the face of the deity.
In Part Two of
_The Holographic Universe_, "Mind and Body," Michael Talbot discusses the
psychological aspects of the holographic model. According to
Bohm, "In a universe in which all things
are
infinitely interconnected, all
consciousnesses are also interconnected. Despite appearances, we are
beings
without borders.
Deep down the consciousness of mankind is one." (p. 60) The holographic
theory, according to the author, can explain many psychological
phenomena. Some of these include psychic phenomena, the ability to see
"auras", psychosis, the power of the mind to heal using visualization
techniques, effects of placebos on healing, lucid
dreaming and
altered
states of consciousness. The power of the mind is awesome and
remains untapped. The author believes that by understanding the
holographic model we can learn to access these powers. "In the
implicate order, as in the brain itself,
imagination
and reality are ultimately indistinguishable, and it should therefore
come as no surprise to us that images in the mind can ultimately
manifest as realities in the physical body." (p. 84)

"All life is only a set
of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt
those born of real things and those born of inward
dreamings, and no cause to value the one above
the other."
Reality
There are . . .
intangible
realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities
which
no one has thought out, and which are excluded for lack of interpreters.
Natalie Clifford Barney
(1876-1972), U.S.-born French author. Quoted in: "On Writing and
Writers," in Adam, no. 299 (London, 1962; tr. by Ezra Pound).
"Reality" is a word in the English
language which happens to be (a) a noun and
(b) singular. Thinking in the English language (and in cognate
Indo-European languages) therefore subliminally programs us to
conceptualize "reality" as one block-like entity, sort of like a huge
New York skyscraper, in which every part is just another "room" within
the same building. This linguistic program is so pervasive that most
people cannot "think" outside it at all, and when one tries to offer a
different perspective they
imagine
one is talking gibberish.

The notion that "reality"
is a noun, a solid thing like a brick or a baseball bat, derives from
the
evolutionary
fact that our
nervous
systems normally organize the
dance
of energy into such block-like "things," probably as instant
bio-survival
cues.
Such "things,"
however,
dissolve
back into energy dances --
processes
or verbs -- when the nervous system is synergized with certain drugs or
transmuted by yogic or
shamanic
exercises or aided by scientific instruments. In both mysticism and
physics,
there is general agreement that "things" are constructed by our nervous
systems and that "realities" (plural) are better described as systems
or
bundles of energy functions.
So much for "reality" as
a noun. The notion that "reality" is singular, like a
hermetically
sealed jar, does not jibe with current scientific findings which, in
this
century, suggest that "reality" may better be considered as
flowing
and meandering, like a river, or interacting, like a dance or
evolving,
like life itself.

The planetary entity and its human inhabitants
are, for the most part, not on speaking terms any more. This is
partially
due to the accumulation of an excessive, static "grey noise" generated
by the unavoidable side-effects of a mechanistic Industrial Age. Its
pervasive
electro-chemical pollution has all but buffered humans from the
direct
resonant
relationship normally affording their sense of placement as planetary
midwives.
This story conveys certain attempts at establishing communications
between
the planetary entity and its human inhabitants during the Great
Collapse
of 1987-92, a highly critical stage of their mutual future history.
The communication style
of the planetary entity is broad-band, multiple
frequency transmission. Its modus operandi
is not unlike a high-powered, broadcast radio-satellite simultaneously
transmitting multiple messages. Now, as a rule, most human minds can
usually permit one thought or concept at a time. The occasional
irregularity emerges with those minds willing and able to permit
enough
uncertainty to
beget an awareness of multiplicity. This presupposes a recognition of
and participation in a multidimensional reality wherein all
dimensions are equally valid aspects of a
greater changing whole. Preference for one level over another, at any
given
time and/or space, is a matter of
personal style. If there was a name for this multi-purpose brain
function it might be:

Reality Selection...a prerequisite for hearing the multi-vocal planetary entity.
As humans endure the multi-faceted awareness of
simultaneously converging
information
sources, they learn to dial and fine tune those frequencies appropriate
to the concerns of the time and place they are in. With persistence,
the
development of a reality selection circuit (in the
Central
Neural System) encourages High-Velocity Interaction with other
humans
by virtue of tolerance. (As humans distinguish and qualify various
levels
within their own being, they tend to tolerate internal contraries thus,
vicariously allow for differences in others).
Tolerance minimizes
inertia
by maximizing
flow.
By allowing for the
unpredictability
of simultaneous truths, certain humans start growing more receptive to
signals beyond the realm of their own minds. It is here in the
Concept-Free
Zones where humans can unwrap their high-frequency
antennae
from self-preoccupation and direct it towards each other.. and down to
the planetary entitiy.. on up to the stars and.. beyond.

"You're caught in a
labyrinth of choice and possibility in the world today so you have more
opportunity to express your desire, fulfill your desire, sin if you
like. The thin line between paradise and The Devil's Circus (ref
604 release _Devil's Circus_ on
Dragonfly).
The agony and the
ecstasy. I try
to
resonate this."
