You are Needed; Pieces of the Puzzle as Input vs Output
    #10929030 -




Without evoking teleological metaphors or logic, to my mind, I see our interactions with ourselves and our environment as one continuous and interdepedent process.

Nothing exists in isolation, everything exists in relationship. Phrases like "chain of events" are only sensible because we understand the potential 'domino-like' nature of phenomena. Opposite of a vacuum or closed-circuit system, any two events or occurrences (however small and seemingly unimportant) similarly exert an effect on everything else. We are like nodes, albeit instead of merely transferring data/information/substance/wisdom, we actively imprint our influence upon it.

So, as a microcosm of value and intention, every post may be interpreted as a indicator of the push of the past, and the potential direction of the future. Ironically, our reading of the symbolic communications here reflects a transference. The effect I've had on your day is unmissable (whether you agree with me or not). The minutes you spent reading this, however minimally, ultimately influenced the course of behavior in your day!

As a small, practical example: The very timing of the next thread or post you read was partially shaped by me. And I wrote this because of my experiences today, so you can also partially thank the timing of your behavior on the people who influenced me today, ad nauseam.

Robert Anton Wilson once commented that it begins to make sense when you realize that the only reason you are sitting here paying attention to me is because people "overfished the North Sea in the 5th Century". 

So... Here's just a brief ode, a seductive wink to the gurgling, semantic processing creatures that we are--busting at the seems with years of history and a split second of a future; spinning our continuous sensations into elaborate tapestries of design, patterns of meaningful patterns, artfully hurling them out into space.

It is really a pleasure to be here with you for this whispering non-instant in Eternity. :smile:


--------------------
“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

La'a'vod means "to work" in Hebrew.

:smile: The great work.
I choose Lavod as my magickal name/shroomery screen name in accordance with its valuation in Hebrew gematria. Total value=111(30+1+6+70+4).  31,37, and 74 are significant numbers.  Most importantly though is the fact that 111/Lavod is fallible(I,48?), but note that Lavod ends in daleth, the door!  Qevin is the Man of Earth and the one who types on the shroomery, Lavod is the Lover, and the name of the star(Hermit) is known only to me, though Nemo can be used for convenience.  Ooga booga!

Lavod!

Nice to see you here, oh do stay Lavod, do!

Lol I sounded like a little english boy from the 1800's.

In some instances I must agree with what you say, allowing for paralell communicatve symbolism in the words.

My question is; can input and output be considered one thing? If so, then they could potentially become a polar opposite to some other, polar opposite that exists in the universe, to make a brand new system of experience. Where good and bad, become one thing, in to the out of another duality which we have not yet come in contact with.

Maybe this is why we get used to everything, new dualities, new spectrums of experiences come closer and closer together, until they are unoticable as that spectrum and become a polarization of new spectrum of experience. Ie. You achieve mastery of emotions and it seems like an excellent thing. Eventually the two polar opposites that showed you that you have control over your emotions and let you experience the benefits of it, slowly becomes one thing and you begin to develop a new desire for another thing, because you unable to experience the benefits of what you once could only find insatiable in its allure.
