Ahhh .... a place to leave a steamer of inspiration ...
A new camcorder provides the opportunity for Discordian un-enlightenment.

... couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome. Cheers!
I am at work, so I don't venture onto MySpace unless it's REALLY GOOD
Quick, give me a catchy description of what is there!
EDIT: Avoid using the word "Discordian" or any catch-phrases such as "deconstruction," "existentialism" or "liberation." Whee!
nekkid guys with wings?

Hmmm ... well, Discordian is just to droll to use in a description and the other three words I'd have to look up at dictionary.com before I could use them in a sentence. But I'll tell ya whats on my page ...
First, I shit in a paper sack, the I write on it with black magic marker, I film it all with an 8mm camera and post it on YouTube. It's my homage' to Bollywood.

Have you found MySpace to be fertile ground for Discordianism?

I've seemed to find we are everywhere ... but mostly where you don't expect it
So there are Discordians in Tulsa?
Salt Lake City, too, I hear. :eek:

I once heard of a Discordian living in a coconut on a dessert island, but then later I heard it was just a chocolate biscuit.

It's all good dude. People here are kind of triggerhappy, especially when it comes to "myspace discordians" a group we've made up that sucks.
don't take it personal
Of course there is a special place for proper introductions in Apple Talk.
Just sayin.
but that was a warm welcome!
coupled with friendly advice!
what's to take personal about it?
I just wanted to note that it's rather presumptuous to go ahead and name yourself "6th Circuit".
What if he's talking about on a circuit board, though?
Like the 6th circuit in my office might be for the plug with the coffee maker and microwave plugged in. Sweet!
If that's true, I got no problem.

And what's so presumptuous about that?
"Meta-Neural Programming?"
Does that mean you do acid a lot, or have you reached Satori?

Well, I used to do my fair share of acid, but its been years ;)
Simply put (and this is the
LAST place I would want to get complex) the idea of self-programming is the core of the 6th Circuit. I believe I am, to some degree or another, a self-programming entity. We all are, its just if awake to it or not, but I'm preaching to the chior here.
Anyway, 6th Circuit MySpace is just one means to get the word out about self-programming and from another perspective is also nothing more than a creative outlet for me ... which is why it was originally posted under Bring and Brag. Anywayz, its a new thing and I just got a new camcorder and started goofin' off making vids. Like the Parable of the Bitter Tea and shit like that.
So I guess as a clarification ... I am Forteetu (42) as a nick , 6th Circuit is the Myspace page

We should put our heads together. I'm still enjoying the camcorder honeymoon period too :D
And from one mindhacker to another - prepare to be doubted. A lotta folks understand the concepts but still refuse to believe it's possible. :lulz:

Yeh, been havin' a blast with it so far. Still kicking ideas around with some friends about more ideas. Be happy to knock heads and see what we can come up with. Drop me a PM.
And as for mind hacks ... I like the words from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
All you have to do is choose it
It's really simple
There's nothing to it
Anyway, 1am here in Sydney ... bed time for Bonzo
so why do you want to change yourself, anyway? just curious.
like a i get the 8 circuit thing, but maybe i just want you to elaborate a bit.
42,
helps loads if you can do something original.
just sayin'.
elaboration in a kinder way:
some much has been touted, round here, and round the round world,
that the same-ole-same-ole doesn't cut it.
especially when approaching the target audience. we are not the target audience.
(unless you're a troll)
videos is an awesome idea, with some shortcomings.
how do you spread the word? how do you do something entertaining that is simultaneously instructive/causes subversion in a time-delayed fashion?
now, how can you do that, but in a way that's new and fresh, so no one will catch on until it's too late?
afterall, an enlightened mind sees the buddha in everything that is, and everything that is not:
i.e., if you truely understand a principal, you can regurgitate in in unfathomable, countless ways. (well, you could fathom it, but you wouldn't...)
that's all.
the reality tunnel bit always just seems like extra work. for me just being open and aware of others seems much simpler. actually CHOOSING a reality would seem more limiting. so to go with the metaphor, wouldn't it be simpler to just have a reality tunnel big enough to encompass all reality tunnels rather than picking and choosing among them?

I preferred this post, TBH
now i haven't seen it yet (i'm afraid to go to myspace)
but to me, a video version of the bitter tea parable *could* be awesome.
it could also look real crappy. but it could also look awesome!
is it on youtube? can i have the youtube link?

Yeh, it is on YouTUBE. I use YouTUBE to host the couple vids I've done so far. MySpace vid sharing sux. The MySpace page is just the place another place to put them with some other content.
If you'd like the direct link ... to this one ... Parable of The Bitter Tea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzTkK-15X0I)

Agreed and in the works ... along with a couple dozaen other hair brained ideas ...
I've got a couple original content clips up there as well and working on some other ideas, both borrowed and new. It's all a bit recent ... just bought the camcorder a couple weeks ago.
Here's links to direct YouTUBE pages on 2 original clips
Filters - spoken word piece on the general subject of changing filters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL3pL5nvxko) one fo the first clips I put together
Apple of Discord - a quick clip of the creation of a ritual object (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-6hKDi6wOU) first clip with the new Ulead video editing s/w ... better

Don't exactly agree here. The "same old, same old" is still all new and amazing to those who have not seen it before.

Exactly, a forum like this isn't the target audience. Why preach to the converted? Why preach at all? The idea, if there is one behind this at all, is to provide another way for some people to come into contact with the material who are unlikely to pick it up in a book. We do live in the age of sound-bites and short attention spans. If someone stumbles across a vid clip of the Parable of the Bitter Tea and it goes "ding" for them ... cool.

sure okay. your'e right, i was a bit hasty in my questioning due to time constraints, so i tried to sum it up better 3 posts down. as far as changing yourself, it would seem to me that the person who would do the changing is the same person who needs to be changed, so in this respect it would look like a futile situation. perhaps i'm suggesting that a profound acceptance of one's situation may be a better approach. take something like quitting smoking. some can do it cold-turkey, but others can't. i know when i quit something i immediately want it for the simple fact that i can't have it. so i don't quit smoking. i may have one on occasion, but at no point have i really changed. but i am still getting healthier resluts. the approach is kind of not letting your right hand know what your left hand is doing. i only ask because i never really felt that the eight circuit model was very effective, and it seems you find that it works.

My point would be that we are changing, like it or not, realise it or not ... we are all changning. Even coming to accept ourselves is changing. If I used to think that a particular view or behavior is "bad" and then come to accept it (not change it), then I have also changed. The 6th circuit, to me, is about taking ownership of the process of change.
And yes, the one who changes is being changed which results in more change and the whole thing becomes a big feedback loop. It's all in the journey, there is no destination.
Specifcally to the 8-circuit model, I happen to find it effective and relate to it as an engineer in a systematic way, perhaps because my professional backgorund is as an engineer. Others find other models that suit them. All I can say is find what works for you.
