<br />
Collage is the creation of artwork through the re-arranging of materials already present in the artist's environment. In many ways, the body itself is made of bricolage as cholesterol and proteins arranged over time into a cohesive structure.<br />
<br />
In the memetic ideosphere, the persona or projected self is created by a process of remixing the available memes, and subcultures form around deforming, transforming, or refusing specific aspects of their cultural memepool. Sorting and selecting from the memes available, most of us pre-consciously create a composite identity that is worn as a vehicle to navigate and negotiate social spaces. The act of selecting a self out of memes is a conceptual bricolage which produces a persona. From within this autonomous sphere memes breed and mutate, as the persona evolves over time within this shared space. An iterative process occurs as well, where the results of these remixes are passed back and forth, and as people themselves change in the face of stimulus and stress. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In general memes do not work on your rational mind but rather they affect your unconscious, emotionally entangled, decision-making processes. Memetics is intrinsically socially embedded as it relies on the communication and social behaviors of the human species. We can construct memes for the same purpose, to affect the structure of our experience and the experience of those bodies to which we transmit that meme. Memetics does not in general affect things directly, but rather must work through, or on, human agents. While we are generally only conscious of messages that are delivered linearly via some specific linguistic pattern, our nervous system also absorbs messages of associational or juxtapositional natures. However, there is no reason to assume memetics requires language to operate. All identity construction, in addition to being a kind of bricolage, is also existent only within a social context. You do not have an identity without some kind of community formation against which to project that identity. This community space is also a theater in which performance and stress builds connections. <br />
<br />
To go much further, we need to understand how much of modern communication is post-linguistic and how this relates to the “propaganda of the deed.” Modern communication systems like video are not constrained to linguistic patterns per se, but can instead juxtapose action and meaning. This is post-linguistic rather than non-linguistic because the technology and behaviors necessary to construct these communications depend on linguistics and textuality. The propaganda of the deed is most commonly pictured as terrorism, but can mean any dramatic or awe-inspiring action designed as communication. In the past the actions only affected those who were physically present. If those not present were effected it was via a retelling or textualizing. Today's media environment in which events and actions are filmed, associated with various emotional markers through juxtaposition and shown directly to many people repeatedly has widened the impact of these types of communication. It is against this backdrop of our current communication structure that terrorism has gained its modern power and prevalence, as it is one thing to be told that hundreds of people have died in an event, but it is quite another thing entirely to be shown the event in all its drama, movement, and color.<br />
<br />
Everything that seeks change has a vector along which its movement can be plotted. A memetic body includes the people who share the meme and the objects they use in achieving the meme's intention. Thus while a memetic body, or meme bearer, has at least a metaphorical mass and vector, and this body impacts the larger social organism by its movement and communications, it need not necessarily be a living human. As egregores are also capable of transmitting memes, they too are a memetic body. The meme has an extension into time and space, and to affect its vector, its direction, one must enter into this extension and apply some force to it. The most obvious method, and most widely used historically in changing a memetic vector, is to physically alter or constrain the behavior of the meme bearing members (an example that springs to mind is the historical cases of heresy being prosecuted by the Catholic Church). Another method involves transmitting an engineered phage into the memetic network to devour the meme.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Group behavior is truly an intriguing thing to observe in action. Group minds are, by and large, infectious and possessive. They seem to displace elements of identity at the pre-conscious level, and as such effect decision-making processes of those involved with the group mind, hijacking the decision-making system. Another factor to consider is that bonds are intensified by stress, and a group that deals with massive amounts of internal and external stress will have a significantly stronger egregore than other groups of similar size but with much less stress.<br />
<br />
Once an individual is conscious of the influence of institutions, egregores, and memes, they can more accurately constrain the selection of reactions present in the preconscious mind at any given moment. This allows for decisions to be based on the individual's intentions and desires rather than remaining hardwired to the options imposed by external entities. <br />
<br />
One of the various methods available to expose and deconstruct one's external influences was hinted at in the previous section and consists of successive iterations of remixing and collaging. As discussed previously, one's self can be seen as a bricolage44, an assemblage of various memes. The result of this perception is that one is able then to begin evolving the idea of the self. The self is no longer seen as a singular unit, but rather as a community of interrelated entities perpetually sorting, mixing, selecting, and arranging stimuli into a composite our conscious mind interprets as reality.<br />
<br />
This ongoing, internal cut-up process continues to provide fresh and innovative ideas that the conscious self is often compelled to share with other individuals, which they then internalized and route through the same processes. By taking this process out of the preconscious awareness and consciously deciding to create a collage, or to manipulate samples, or cut-up text, is an act of revealing one's preconscious influences. Collage will bring to conscious awareness the subliminal influences that are acting upon your decision-making processes in a way that acts both quickly and accurately.<br />
<br />
On the opposite side of the spectrum, you can accelerate personal evolution by joining and participating in a community of meme sharers and engaging in the iterative process of collating, manipulating, and sharing memes within that group. As said previously, it's important to be conscious of what kind of groups you are associated with, and to assess the validity of the information that the group champions, the memes the group disseminates, and how the group's goals dovetail with your own long-term goals45 We’ve already discussed the importance of finding others to work with by outlining the mastermind group, but haven’t spoken specifically to the experience on an individual of joining such a group. Most importantly, you need to know who you are and what you bring to the group.<br />
<br />
Knowing yourself means knowing your weaknesses, knowing your emotional boundaries, and knowing your psychological triggers. As a reader, your perceptions and insights that arise from this book will be substantially different depending on if you identify as an individual, as a member of a group, or as a leader of a group. The aim here is to become conscious, both of the influences that exert external pressure on individual identity and the influence an individual can have within a group dynamic toward a specific outcome. Masterminding is manifesting a group dynamic or pattern that sustains the energy of the group, and having access to a method to map out individuals within the group greatly facilitates this work.</div>Cramulus Deprecated: strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/principiadiscordia.com/cramulus/includes/db/Database.php on line 1742
