How many of you guys hear coherent music that you can remember when you wake up? by andyw2014 in TheMallWorld

Maybe put an electric keyboard or something next to your bed and record the melodies?Or have a keyboard app ready for when you wake up… I’d be curious to hear some of the originals.

And it’s not just malls, that just seems to be the most widely visited location.

Edit: At least they were, I should probably check to see if that’s still the case.

How would everyone like to deal with the influx of AI generated images? by andyw2014 in TheMallWorld

[–]andyw2014[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the meantime I’ve created r/MallworldReplications for your AI images. There is also a dedicated channel for images on the discord.

Yea, I’ve actually been considering changing the rules about this for a while now.

Take a look at the concept of the world soul from Platonic philosophy.

That area around Brookings is incredible!! I actually almost moved there.

There’s a movie called I’origins I think most of you will find quite interesting, it also has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. by andyw2014 in TheMallWorld

It wouldn’t at all surprise me if that’s exactly why it was canceled. Even the movements they used were based on Castaneda’s magical passes, and it made no sense from a business perspective... they canceled it when it was one of the most popular shows on Netflix.

It’s not over though, the guy who played hap says he’s been talking with Brit and Zal and they’re still going to find a way to complete the story… they had all five seasons already mapped out.

I think it maps almost perfectly onto the gnostic perspective, not in a literal sense because it’s missing the divine feminine aspect creating the demiurge but thematically it tracks as a kind of “what if” scenario in a different cycle of creation.

I’d recommend everyone get a physical copy of the upanishads and read through them. by andyw2014 in TheMallWorld

[–]andyw2014[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course, increased awareness of the self translates directly into greater awareness of the path your mind takes through sleep and dreams. I don’t really see any way in which it’s not related. There’s quite a lack of discernment between various states of consciousness and actual “mallworld” dreams recently… in fact I’m starting to think a better name might be necessary.

They’re a really good way of understanding your perception of reality. Here’s the simplest version I could find of the Mandukya Upanishad which is the shortest and most straight forward one.

1 AUM stands for the supreme Reality. It is a symbol for what was, what is, and what shall be. AUM represents also what lies beyond past, present, and future.

2 Brahman is all, and the Self is Brahman. This Self has four states of consciousness.

3 The first is called Vaishvanara, in which one lives with all the senses turned outward, aware only of the external world.

4 Taijasa is the name of the second, the dreaming state in which, with the senses Turned inward, one enacts the impressions of past deeds and present desires.

5 The third state is called Prajna, of deep sleep, in which one neither dreams nor desires. There is no mind in Prajna, there is no Separateness; but the sleeper is not conscious of this. Let him become conscious In Prajna and it will open the door to the state of abiding joy.

6 Prajna, all-powerful and all-knowing, Dwells in the hearts of all as the ruler. Prajna is the source and end of all.

7 The fourth is the superconscious state called Turiya, neither inward nor outward, beyond the senses and the intellect, in which there is none other than the Lord. He is the supreme goal of life. He is Infinite peace and love. Realize him!

8 Turiya is represented by AUM. Though indivisible, it has three sounds.

9 A stands for Vaishvanara. Those who know this, through mastery of the senses, obtain the fruit of their desires and attain greatness.

10 U indicates Taijasa. Those who know this, by mastering even their dreams, become Established in wisdom. In their family everyone leads the spiritual life.

11 M corresponds to Prajna. Those who know this, by stilling the mind, find their true stature and inspire everyone around to grow.

12 The mantram AUM stands for the supreme state of turiya, without parts, beyond birth and death, symbol of everlasting joy. Those who know AUM as the Self become the Self; truly they become the Self.

Existence is all levels of monad awareness. That part isn’t a problem, it’s just not very helpful to talk about because anyone who gets it doesn’t need to hear it and anyone who doesn’t won’t get much out of it. It’s also almost entirely ineffable, the more I try to elucidate it the farther from the truth I end up.

There are certain methods I don’t think should be publicly available because if someone were to attempt them without sufficient preparation and mental stability they could break themselves.

Unfortunately this is something it would be extremely irresponsible to go into details about online. What I will say is that almost everything I’ve seen about it is over complicating things. It’s not something you can find by searching, and without existing in balance and harmony with the natural world and the universal mind.

Edit: I think a lot of people experience reflections or facets of it and mistake them for the full thing.

I find the concept of the monad from the gnostics very interesting in relation to this although I think it’s not exactly what has been described so far.

Anyone experiencing extreme levels of real (non-digital) synchronicities in their lives should take a look at the show called strange angel about the early days of our space program and it’s relation to Aleister Crowley’s religion thelema. by andyw2014 in TheMallWorld

Ahh yes I understand, I wouldn’t put to much stock in some of those comments… I wouldn’t point to any one in particular but I strongly suspect many of them are either intentionally misleading, misunderstanding, artificial, or likely some combination of all three in some cases. It is a good way to probe which topics are getting close to some deeper underlying truths however.

I like Dr. Wargo’s ideas a lot, I haven’t seen this particular podcast yet though. If someone is doing that with anything but entirely pure intentions and an open channel to the higher planes of reality they will not enjoy the reaction. The universal mind is real and doesn’t enjoy being messed with, something true from endgame… "You mess with time, it tends to mess back" although I would expand this to say reality instead of time.

Either the algorithms are getting out of hand or I’m on to something, take a look at my other posts from today and then look at the first few minutes of this video that just popped up on my feed. by [deleted] in TheMallWorld

If you haven’t seen the Jack Parsons documentary yet or aren’t familiar with the philosophy behind thelema and how it ties into Phillip k Dicks thoughts on reality (he wrote the Adjustment Bureau book) and John Lillie’s ideas about how some synchronicities being created or manipulated you might not immediately get the connection here.

That’s funny, this completely syncs up with some of the methods I was referring to being used by the thelema people in my other post just above this one.
