A New about page for the site – New Direction

This site is all about my exploration on the nature of reality, human civilization and consciousnesses. Here is just a random sample of  some of the things you might find me talking about here.

  • How do we know the things we know.  What is the direction of modern science? What are some of the more fascinating viewpoints and theories that are currently being discovered? What is my opinion on this.
  • What role does the ideas of information theory have on areas such as consciousness, genetics, time, consciousness and the fabric of reality
  • How is our understanding changing about topics such as UFO’s, Aliens, Shamanism, The Occult, meditative spiritual practice, psychedelics, ghosts, cryptozoology. Why is there so much overlap between these subjects? What are the commonalities and differences.
  • Why is there such a wide range of paranormal entities encountered and described. Why are there very few set ‘types’.
  • Is there a connection between ceremonial magick ’summoned’ entities and modern spontaneously encountered entities.
  • What is the role of the signal and noise principal in enlightenment and understanding of reality.

Some notable thinkers whose views that I will pick apart and discuss at some stage will be Ken Wilbur, Krishnamurti, Robert Anton Wilson, Terence Mckenna, Jacques Vallee, Gurdjeff, Jed Mckenna, buddhist texts, vedanta texts, tarot symbolism, occult books and libers.

I won’t claim to come up with any answers at all, and I will relate some of my experiences along the way. All we can be at best is mirrors pointing towards the truth. The real truth is the eternal spiritual mystery, the no-thing at the center of all things.

Oh yeah, and I am always up for a chat via email at info (at) informationreality (dot) com

This place not yet abanndoned

Ok, I have big plans in store for this domain over the next few weeks. There is so much interesting information out there that needs to be shared, talked about, encouraged and expressed.

Have been tweeting a lot of thoughts lately, so if you are interested go and check out http://www.twitter.com/inforeality

It is so hard not to speak about things like consciousness and the nature of reality without sounding massively new age. That is not my intention. At all.

So when I say that we are on the edge of an age where Quantum Physics , Consciousness Studies, Genetics, Information Theory and what would have once been termed The Paranormal, Shamanism, as well as Buddhist thought, Occult theory and the insights gained via psychedelics will all converge, and we begin to see the similarities between these areas. I can see them, and so can a lot of other people. It’s just quite hard to put it into words. Well at least words that are not just empty rehashes of the same old theories.

I mean words that can be used, expanded on. Tested and poked and prodded. Shaken until more truth drops from them.

From the history of man people have speculated on the nature of reality and conciousness, they just have not had the language or conceptual framework to make any sense out of it. For instance, say that reality behaved in much the same way as computer software. It is only in this present age that we would begin to be able to grasp this in any percievable way. Before that it would be very vauge analogies and wild metaphors which would serve as explanations.

Internetmancy Means Scrying Via The Internet

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!
