(no subject)
Oct. 24th, 2007 01:54 pmThe layers:
1. The unreal/subconscious/inner world
2. The world of phenomena (the subjective reality) (bridges 1 and 3)
3. The world of raw perception (only attainable with great difficulty) (bridges 2 and 4)
4. The real/"objective"/external world (unattainable in itself)
We use "Science" to help universalize world 2, to hopefully make it conform better to worlds 3 and 4.
"Meditation" of various sorts can help us get worlds 1 and 2 closer to world 3.
"Psychotherapy" can help us conform world 1 with world 2 and perhaps 3.
"Technology" can help world 3 conform better to 4. (such as microscopes, eyeglasses, any feedback mechanism, etc)

stuff and things
Oct. 24th, 2007 02:43 pm1. this is just adorabobble
2. this is amazing
3. work is giving me some interesting, albeit strenuous projects
4. my side-projects are interesting and also potentially liberating... things, they be looking up...
5. I have, unfortunately, been neglecting my public writing. I'll be back at it hammer and tongs in November, one way or another.
In general, my sense of time has been very odd lately. By lately, I mean in september and october.
I sure could use a nice 100+ mg dose of ketamine. :)
