I will try to respond more fully in my blog for next Monday.Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-76708339296189249942021-02-19T05:44:38.618-08:002021-02-19T05:44:38.618-08:00Thing is, even if you cooked for yourself and know...Thing is, even if you cooked for yourself and know what's in your plate, it can still feel new to your palate if you are not used to a, say, more mindful approach to eating.<br /><br />I am still reading High Weirdness (mostly at work, when I get to slack off) and am now in the RAW part. Erik Davis talks about Illuminatus! and mentions something I had forgotten entirely.<br />Saul Goodman is starting to do research into all these conspiracies, and to do so he:<br /><br />"first applies his “intuition,” which is defined —on page 23 of the Dell single-volume edition— as “a way of thinking beyond and between the facts, a way of sensing wholes, of seeing that there must be a relationship between fact number one and fact number two even if no such relationship is visible yet.” But then Goodman applies a different cognitive tool. After following his gut, the detective revisits the memos “using the conservative and logical side of his personality, rigidly holding back the intuitive functions.”"<br /><br />Davis then adds that "this process of “expansion-and-contraction,” is offered almost as a training exercise for the readers".<br />Here he mostly means an exercise to make it through the book in a smart way, but of course it could then be applied to one's own daily life.<br />Not only this sounds to me a lot like some techniques from PR, but it pretty much is exactly the exercize Eric and Tom are doing.<br />Is that where you got the idea from, Eric ? And how is that going, by the way ?<br /><br />If I remember correctly, Saul Goodman ends up being kidnapped, tortured psychologically, and never appears again. Just sayin'.BFHNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-41664963175427650402021-02-18T08:58:21.073-08:002021-02-18T08:58:21.073-08:00In my own synchronicity-abounds world the case of ...In my own synchronicity-abounds world the case of DePalma reminds me that there are far too many cases of filicide in the states, and of those, far too many related to Occult subjects. My wife has been reading Tracy Twyman - as of late 'Mind-Controlled Sex Slaves and the CIA' - and the amount of this popping up in my world is frankly reaching a level of disturbing. <br />So now I need to find a synchronicity scrubber, create one myself, or come up with some other things to start projecting in my world - through either lense of selective-attention or magical mind-controls everything. <br /><br />@BFHNI like the idea of eating in the dark, but now I need to figure out how to cook with a blind-fold on - lol. But now I want to figure out more experiments like that!

It's almost like encountering the texture of food for the first time.<br /><br />I have a feeling that training usually poorly used senses such as taste and smell might be beneficial. I assume that this should open new neural pathways.<br />Despite having five senses, it seems to me that mostly sight tends to be used by the average person (that includes me) in order to apprehend and comprehend the world.<br /><br />As a self-described introvert, I tend to forgo the world my body inhabit in favor of my own inner world. Practicing my use of taste and smell might be a way to 'stay grounded', or if nothing else appreciate more fully the experience of being alive in this 3D Reality.<br /><br />Talking about EXPERTS, I just received a copy of The New Inquisition, I am excited about reading this book.<br />I also finally got my copy of the KLF' Chill Out, ordered almost three months ago (before the band's music popped up again over the internet). The package seems to have been somehow stranded for two months in Dublin, of all places. So I decided to start reading Ulysses.<br /><br />It is my first time doing so. English is not my native language and I had not been feeling up to the task until now. I hope I will get something out of this book. But so much so for cultivating a deepened relation to the outer world...<br /><br />Synchronicities-wise, JFK has given me a bit of a break (although I did see him again on Dealey Plaza in a video collage recently), but now Joseph Campbell won't stop following me.BFHNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-6593649229231643542021-02-15T09:46:56.068-08:002021-02-15T09:46:56.068-08:00The wine tasting experiment reminds me of training...The wine tasting experiment reminds me of training as a short order cook where they stressed the importance of how the food looked when presented over how it actually tasted.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.com
