Dynamics of the Modular Self

If you ever get the chance to read such pivotal works as "The Book of Thoth" by, yes Aliester Crowley, or "The Great Mother" by Erich Neumann, you get an overview on what I call "Models of a Modular Self." The "Enumerate Partitioning" of the "Unity of Self" is "Symmetrically Coalesced" making for an analysis by analogy. Unit point to unit line, unit circle to unit sphere, we are all each a universe, a totality which is dually mapped back on to each and every one of us.

In my pursuit of 21st Century technology, I revel in the rich environment for comparisons between the processes of computing, and human awareness. The sentimental anthropomorphic of objects like God or of like, "I like to call my car Betty," to me seems silly. But the ways in which technology reflects our intelligence processes fascinates me. The real challenge for me is in decompiling what in fact may be "Context free language." We look to the primary order of language as being driven by culture. And yet, if we go back to the most essential origins of language we come to the emergence of syntax. How we use language, and why. There is a uniform structure to how we seek to organize information. The same holds true for all layers of information, you just have to know how and where to look.

The Joy of Dying

I feel guilty being the pro psychic. Talk to the dead, don't believe in afterlife. Remote viewing blind reader, making the future happen while others fight over scraps. Knowing truth can't tie my shoes. Beautiful at sixty, weird.

What is "Joy of Dying?" Immortality is just "The Art of Living Fiction." One of my favorite ghosts is my younger Brother who died "92." I fall asleep with the TV, he's watching too, Mom's in the next room. Even my atheist Dad is here with me. I don't forget. But that's just the start.

Visions possess my living will. Dreams too bright, love too deep, words too sweet to swallow. Everything falls to we who wait for only a right to share. Wealth is the accumulation of material cast offs, and all I get is this priceless immaterial. You can say I am a cartographer of the exterior calculus. Nothing that does not further.

I live with these nagging headaches, picking at my food, tasting smells, loving anyone, these agonizing ecstasies are nothing to brag about. Joy of living is the joy of dying. No one wants to die unless we are very sick or troubled, but occasionally we find the middle. Once a sense of meaning is derived, a resultant can be extracted. This memory recoil carries over into the next lives with vigor boosting life onto new beginnings and joy. Walls melt, people learn, and never a drop is spilled. Embrace the darkness, love the forgiven, we have been here a million times before.

My Wonderful Accident; Reality Programming and Entertainment Mediums

The future of mass media has become interactive with the object of contemplation being the "Judgements" of a target audience. The standard is changing. I am a perfect example. Although I do not see myself as being that entertaining, I do perform a highly rarified function in our modern celebrity obsessed culture. I am an "Entertainment Medium." And resultantly, "I am the Art of Living Fiction." I am a "True Hoax." I am an "Urban Legend." Do I really exist or am I just another phony cold reader? I like to tell people I am a Professional Psychic, an Entertainment Medium. I never say that I am psychic. As a predictive medium I may be just another bullshit artist. Like a Doctor, or an Economist, or a Lawyer, I make educated guesses. Any of these artists usually works within a community of hopefully well educated authorities in their areas of expertise, but everyone knows about the folly of pretentious authority. Don't get me wrong, I'm not beating up on the wealthy or elite, I'm merely reiterating the "Predictably Inevitable Truth" of the "Second Axiomatic Law of the Para Psychological Method," "EVERYONE HAS BLIND SPOTS AND EVERYONE'S BLIND SPOTS ARE DIFFERENT." With the limited attention and interests that are of necessity hardwired into our brains, we may all be best advised to sometimes "Get a second opinion." (And a third, and sometimes even a fourth opinion when necessary.)

My analytical mapping systems allow me the privilege to take an active inventory of what it is that I don't already know. For anyone working in the Speculative Arts, (Educated Guessing is why we get paid the big bucks,) humility may be a very good thing. Being able to imagine what an answer may look like means that in order to prove my predictions correct, I will want to show my work. All ego aside, (mine died back in "75") our whole belief in freewill is dependent on taking personal responsibility. Yet we must all reach that point where we will need to be able to trust some one else. "Proxy Dependency" and "Authoritation by Proxy" is an inevitable consequence of facing uncertainties. (I so love how Blogger spell check likes to insist this word that I routinely use, "Authoritation" does not exist. Let's see how long that happens.) I observe the variability of these boundaries of "Authority" all the time. My work on "Styles of Approach and Evasion" reflects my attitudes about the dynamics of interpersonal boundary definitions, and the changing language of said authorities.

The Representative Authorities of the mass media are sometimes Carnival Barkers, and sometimes Good Shepherds. The standard is changing.

Story So Far "Our Shared Unknown"

I've been told that if I want to be read, I may want to appeal to the self destructive and stubborn in us all. So, don't you dare read this unless you are stupid, foolish and easily misled. (I personally don't think this is going to work, but I'm willing to do almost anything to get people to cooperate with me.)

Let's talk about what we have already achieved. We have awareness. As readers we have the art of living fiction. I don't mean that we live fictitious lives, I mean that we tell stories that come true. When we say we are going to do something, it doesn't always mean that it's going to happen. We are committing to an action. When we approach an unknown, something happens. A story emerges. The unknown is a boundary. We are defined by boundaries. We tell stories about our boundaries. They almost always include people. We become aware of our personal and social boundaries by identification.

The story up to this point has been about cultivating the awareness and identification of boundaries. Social, personal, intellectual, physical boundaries. This is a literary experiment in language and documentation.

We have identified a type communication that is in fact influence. As we confront and define popular opinion biases, pro and con, we see that boundaries of opinion shift. This story is to help mark, and facilitate that moving shift of popular opinions.

Much to my surprise, I see very little work that is designed to help "Society" learn en mass. Most stories are oriented to preferentially biased markets. That's why I've insisted on not pandering to you my "Sacred Unknown Audience." I want you to all be different. If I do this right, the story takes effect without you even noticing. If this story is to become true it must be handled very delicately.

As your reader, I may even get to know if I've done my job correctly. You may be able to feel the gentle release from the overly familiar. There is always suspense that accompanies true learning. My job as a reader is to teach, not preach. I may even be able to teach you how to be a good reader. You are reading this story right now. And all I had to do was trust in your ability to recognize the truth when you see it, even if it is still only just another story.

This book is a door into "Our Shared Unknown."

Heuristics and Algorithms in Psychic Reading Technologies

I take great pleasure in watching the behavior of the market research algorithms used to target advertising over the web. I'm one of those geeks who is pleasantly insulated by my limited interests. I only use you tube for music and the ads are directed by my use of all three of my browsers although I rarely overlap any one browser's specific use. I never use the web for searches. Similarly, my g + account grasps nothing of the real content of my blogs, when it tries to tag me. I love the music I get to hear and I resultantly post links to g +. As much as I complain about the arbitrary nature of the quirks designed into almost all over engineered software, sometimes the interactive elements of the lower layers of processing entertain me to no end. As much as I believe that the notion of "Usability" is the biggest hoax perpetuated by the economy of sale and mass consumer marketing, I do understand the real problems confronting the interactions of business departments with design. These are in fact where almost all of the problems of mass marketing arrive, we want to believe in what we are selling. When we look at business in terms of a heuristic, we come up against that inevitable threshold of uncertainties.

Point is, market research algorithms try to approximate my customer potential, by trying to predict what I may want to buy. I too am always guessing at what a client may want to hear from me, fully aware of all the moral hazards that accompany psychic reading, intuitive diagnostics and the speculative arts in general. As much as I have already written on the subjects of the business of consultation, I as of yet have little awareness of how many of my clients and readers truly understand what it is I have been talking about. Making comparisons between something as low rent and throw away as psychic reading with the other high dollar speculative arts of diagnostics, systems analysis, medicine, law, economics, and worst of all politics, has made me a "Web Pariah." I am confronted with the horrible moral crisis that every ethical consultant should have to consider, and yet I'm supposed to be the lightweight. Uncertainties abound in the worlds of business, medicine, the sciences, law, finance, and again worst of all, politics. There are no guaranties, and most of the time you don't get your money back.

One of the main reasons I am despised by most so called psychics is that I don't pretend to be psychic. I am an artist. I work with checklists, processing loops, palettes, and many more ways of departitioning memory. I still find it amazing that my blogger software likes to tell me that there is no such word as departioning, as if it is an authoritative arbiter on the correct usage of spelling in grammar. Contrary to popular prejudice, being deemed correct need not be the same thing as being honest. In procedural analysis often times we may want to see boundaries to understanding removed. Resultantly, we may speak truthfully but are not heard. That is not the fault of heuristics. Man is not just a "Rational Thinking Machine," we must also understand how we are individually stroked. This fine art of understanding may not be reducible to an algorithm. I feel we may have covered this topic for today. Thank you for your attention.
