Rabelais, Crowley and Thelema

Jul 15

Posted by admin in INFOREALITY, Magick, Occult, Random Oracle, divination | No Comments

Interesting results today from a random wikipedia hit. I thought I would test the internetmancy waters once more, and the first result I got was for Francois Rabelais.

His wikipedia entry came up, and I thought this is interesting, a 14th century French monk and literary figure. As I read down something tweaked in my mind, and a google search confirmed.

Rabelius is the guy who first used the term Thelema , and had a protypical Abbey of Thelema in his writings. Crowley got the basis of thelema, and the abbey concept straight from reading Rabelius. Not from some musty tome of archane law, or entities or even a sudden flash of insight.

He just read it. Though that it’s ‘do what thou wilt’ philosophy and utopian vision sounded cool, and used it as the basis for his new ‘religion’

Rabelais used the thelema ideas in his novels, which were very controversial in 15th century France.

The synchronicity of that random wikipedia page is amazing. I had just been listening to the latest paracast where the listener/host was talking about his experience with chaos magick, and also with crowley. This is a really strong message.

Aliester Crowley was just a person, like you and I. He was flawed, and his ideas cane to him from the universe, just like yours do to you.

I believe his controversial behavior was modeled somewhat on the actions of Rabelius also.

Another amazing internetmatcy session

This is consciousness marketing

Jul 4

Posted by admin in Random Oracle, divination, money | No Comments

This blog is a new attemp at generating novel content for the web. I am starting to write about the idea of generating income purely from your stream of consciosness.

As we move forward with technology and the web evolves, we are getting to the point where the friction between the ideas in your head and the method of distributing these ideas to the whole of humanity has been greatly diminished.

I see a point in the near future where you could literaly turn your thought to text ( via some interface), publish them to a blog style setup, put adsendd on it and then in effect get paid to think.

You can almost go that now. Consider a setup that involves a speach recognition package such as dragon naturally speaking. You could right now in effect just narrate your stream of consciousness to a blog format, setvthe seo on it just write and then earn something for the direct contents of your head.

The only limit to this idea is the amount of new novel thought that you may have.

This is where the second part of consciousness marketing idea. How do you constantly come up with new ideas?

Using the random principal of course, and the idea of internetmancy that I have discussed before on this site.

Internetmancy Means Scrying Via The Internet

May 9

Posted by admin in Information Theory, Magick, Random Oracle, divination | No Comments

Looks like someone found the site via the term Internetmancy, which is a term that popped into my head to describe the process of finding something random online to answer to a question that you have in your head, or just as something to spark the creative process.

By pulling up something completely random, you introduce an element into your thought process that was not there before, and this disrupts your current cycles of thinking, allowing fresh new ideas to come to the surface.

The main advantage that this has over traditional random/divination/scrying methods is that this is brings in ideas from the whole spectrum of the human society. Its like scrying into the collective conciousness of humanity. It brings you knowledge that you could not know before via any other means. Things that you would never search for, and that your social media circles would never tell you about.

I am ranking top for searches for Internetmancy, so looks like I just coined a new term!

Internetmancy Shamanistic Scrying

Apr 21

Posted by admin in Information Theory, Magick, Random Oracle, conciousness, divination, reality | 1 Comment

Here is the method for those of you that want to play along at home :

1. Get random information noise from the internet. There are now some great services out there online that will give you something TOTALLY random, be it some text, a picture or a video. The scryers and card readers of old would go crazy if they had power like that

2.Feed that random search back through some more random generators. Put the random seed through another set of filters, such as google image ripper, or even a straight google / wikipedia search to get some more background to the concept that you have uncovered.

3. Reflect on what this random noise drags up from your mind. Think, remember and start to take notes.

4. Write down the thoughts that have been agitated to the surface from this random intake of information

There is also another step at the very start, if you want to take the divination part a bit further.. Ask a question before you begin

25% of All Google Searches are NEW

Dec 15

Posted by admin in INFOREALITY, Internet, Magick, divination, knowledge | No Comments

To me this figure is partial proof for some of the concepts that I have been developing over the past few years. It is staggering to think that 25% of queries that google sees on a daily basis are things that have NEVER been searched for before.

Or, more exactly, they are things that have never been searched for before in that way.

Where is this information, this new form of questions coming from. Where are they appearing in people’s minds. This difference in search volume could be thought of as search ‘noise’. It will appear in googles keyword stats, and then people who are in the know will start to create content to specificly match these queries. It is digital evolution.

These new search queries are turning up spontaneously in the minds of people, and represent a change in the evolution of the meme-sphere of the planet, the sum total of the direction of thoughts of all people. So where does this NEW though come from.

Is there something in consciousness that is connected to a source of “thought noise.”? I posit that there is a force that ensures that peoples thoughts are not linear and only contain things that they have seen before, but instead mix up and create new synergies, as well as unexpected mutations of the contents of their minds.

Are Cars The Future Direction

Dec 14

Posted by admin in Information Theory, Internet, divination | No Comments

I am starting to have some thoughts around the idea of Google being a key player in the thought evolutions of the memesphere, that is the ideas that people have.

My previous peice about the “Future Direction Of Science Fiction” has had a lot of contextual advertising associated with it in regards to cars. Sure, some of them were hybrid vehicles, but some where still about your traditional fossil fuel driven varieties.

Of all of the different thought proving sites that an article like that could point people to, its the advertisers that pay the most, ie. the car companies, that get their free ads displayed accros the site.

Google has the ablity to free people from the prevailing paradigms and introduce them to new ideas. But becuase it can only relate the advertisments to the content on the page, and the available ads it has to search then we are going to get stuck in a feedback look of the same old ideas going around and around.

What we need are ways of getting outside ouselves and generating new ideas. This is what shamanism, magick, psychedelics , music, dance and a million other practices over the years have tried to do. To get people outside of their own thought structures, and introduce noise to the mental system, so that you start to think ideas that you have never thought before. To mess up the input and output, so that a totaly new creation or idea is generated, that does not equal the sum total of system inputs.

Is there a digital way to create this, a way of generating new ideas from blog posts that does not rely simply on the conextual ad network?

Japanese SNES Tarot Game

Dec 12

Posted by admin in INFOREALITY, Information Theory, Occult, divination, knowledge | No Comments

I was just reading on wikipedia that they developed a tarot reading game for the SNES in Japan, but could not release it anywhere else in the world becuase of the religious sensitivities.

I am going to try to hunt down a ROM copy and see what it was like, would be very interesting to see I would think. The SNES was a great system in its day, and I, like many of my friends spent long hours in front of it.

To be able to do a tarot spread on it would be very interesting. Apparently it used the Rider Waite deck, so seeing 16 bit pixelated reporductions of the death card would be very interesting indeed.
