Just the run-of-the-mill delusions of grandeur, paranoia . . . nothing spectacular

That's why you should work on those circut combinations.  It really helps to break your conditioning.

I will try that.  Thanks.

Oh sure . . . but it does get hampered by cyncism sometimes . . .

This is one of the few things I am cynical about, but I am working on it.

I think it would be great, I just have my inner skeptic to work on.

Good point . . .

It just doesn't seem likely to me, but that's part of my brainwashing I suppose . . . I guess I feel that way because right now we don't seem to have the technology to get off the planet in large groups, we wouldn't really have anywhere to go if we did, and this planet already has a population problem as it is.

Ah, ok, that's kind of what I figured it would be . . . that's fascinating.  I will do a lot of thinking about this over the weekend . . . maybe I'll start reading Leary's Cosmic Consciousness or whatever its called . . . probably better to get it straight from the horses mouth.


I could sort of do without all the life extension stuff in Prometheus Rising, what about you?  Does that interest you?

Hmmmmmm . . . that's very interesting.  

I'll admit that I don't really get the factorial part (math was never my strong suit), but I will put some thought into this on the weekend.

Ahhh, I think I see what you are getting at, the OBE and other 'mystical' aspects of the 8th circuit is like the bio-survival circuit, but on a cosmic scale . . .

So, perhaps the 'tunnel of light' that people claim to see when they have near death experiences are both birth memories, and re-birth visions?

Or am I just going off the deep end here?

I constantly change my mind, but yes . . . I see more difference between the first four proposed than the last four, though, so I find it more helpful to seperate them for now, but yeah it's all part of the same set.  5=6 and all that.

I agree . . . and I also agree with you about the first five . . . it seems to me that the last 3 are just variations on a theme . . . they could easily be grouped together into one 'circuit'.

Gotcha.

I found that part pretty shocking, I didn't realize it would be so easy . . . do you put much stock into Leary's 8 Circuits of the Human Mind?

I only read the last page and I am wincing . . . if I really did have the power to deny people of their Discordianism, I would deny them.  No good can come of that.

Hey, at least there's a casino . . . you can go see Hall & Oates or Jewel perform . . .

Ah, ok . . . I thought it was self hypnosis, but I wasn't sure if there was a more limiting definition of hypnosis . . .

What do you consider the most mind blowing part of the book?

Fair enough . . . let's just say of all the places I've lived, Toronto is my favourite so far.  I'm sure there are better places to live, but there are certainly worse . . . try London Ontario, that's the armpit of Canada.

It's pretty simple.  Overly simple, maybe.  It's just basically picturing yourself in front of a computer which is from the future and will read your thoughts and relay answers back.  But, the computer reads all thoughts and will take doubts as an order not to answer the question.

Basically just communicating with a different part of your mind. Maybe the unconscious, who knows . . .

I've had some weird answers come back . . . I don't know it's nothing earth shattering, but it's amusing.
