Terence McKenna, a firm believer in the transformation of 2012 once said that, what he thinks is going to come to happen in 2012 is simply 'art will get teeth'. Meaning art will reach a level of power that everything can be recreated with it. You also must understand an additional context to that, in that Mckenna has sees art, or 'magick' (same thing in this context), as being the prime weapon against monotheistic control structures (religion), that inherently manifest a dualistic paradigm and resultingly cause people to believe fighting is necessary. So to say 'art will get teeth', means, the effort to decondition humanity from duality for all the past thousands of years through what is modern day 'art', and what in the past was 'magick', simply means 2012 is a culmination point when a thousand year effort may reach a benchmark. Mckenna didn't live long enough to see the state of the world today, but my interpretation of his instinct, and that statement, is that he sensed the coming interactive technology. Interactive gaming. It is through this technology that art is getting teeth. Think about how in the 1800's, if an artist wanted to create something to try to cause a social change, to impact someone. They made a poster, they made a painting, a pamphlet. They would post it on a wall. They could hope, enough people walking by, enough artists making art, this would cause social change. But still no matter how many posters you have, how many paintings, this art is still very passive. Or you could a traveling story teller, or theatre show, entertain people for a few hours. Still that is very passive. Go forward on the timeline a little to the 1970's where personal audio players were now standard. People could walk around, engrossed in music, they could essentially live in the artwork of musicians. It is really on this principle that I believe so much social change happened in the 1970's. The movement was largely led by musicians, and musicians could have such a magickal force on culture as a whole (remember magick / art are the same thing in this context), musicians could have such a hold on society because due to the prevelance of portable audio technology being so cheap, and everywhere. People could always constantly live in the art created by the musicians of the time, and because of this it rearranged the brain of so many people. In a true traditional sense, magick is willed brain change, thats why art with the intent to change society is magick. Interestingly many major bands of the era (The Beattles, Led Zeppelin) in one way or another, do pay homage to Aleister Crowley, a major proprietor of magick at the turn of the last century. Art began to get teeth in the 1970's you could say... but in 2012, now. With the fact that everyones portable media device doesn't just play music, but is completely integrated into their life, into their friends, into their way of thinking, and is a highly capable 3D accelerated interactive device. The potential for it to be used as a magickal force is seriously off the charts. You can completely recondition culture with this level of engrossing technology, more so than John Lennon or anyone ever could before. If John Lennon was alive today ( or any major non-dualistic force) , and was leading a mobile game development studio, we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation because it'd be well on it's way to being done. If he could get that much done with just music, and people playing 3 to 4 minute recordings over speakers. Imagine how much impact he would of had if people were staring at screens, completely hypnotized and engrossed in them, with more sensse being stimulated, for hours and hours on end playing some sort of game, or involved in some interactive something, that was completely magickally charged for the rearrangement of someones brain. This technology is really being wasted on shit like 'modern warfare' and 'zooville' and 'world of warcraft'. Although world of warcraft does have some interesting magickal components put in it, but I think it's more detrimental than helpful. So anyways, discuss this thread topic with me so I can attempt to devise magickal structures that can be implemented into a multi-touch mobile device to recondition your brain. The great work will be completed, we are so very close. |

yes I guess this is really the core of the thing... also in connection to my post above, and in relation to what you just said, katamari damacy was a brilliant magickal structure. Kids who grew up playing that game for hours and hours are probably much less prone to dualistic thinking. |

the context I presented needs to be understood You must understand that I run on a mode of thinking called contextual logic, or maybe logic. Nothing I say is true, and nothing I say I actually believe. They are just varying degrees of probability of likelihood. You don't let a context run through your brain because it is TRUE, and intended to override anything else. You let it run through brain as almost like an exercise in letting your brain synapses move around in ways they previously would not have, so that at some point in the future your brains synapses may produce something that could be something worthwhile enough to override prior brain structures. It is not the strongest species that survives, it is the most adaptable. To be adaptable you need to be dynamic, and to be dynamic you need things that force yourself into different modalities. This is what I am doing. |
