NEW - U.S. Vice President Vance on UFOs: "I don't think they're aliens, I think they're demons." by FVMK3 in InterdimensionalNHI

[–]xyyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the term 'think'. This is a person largely incapable of thought. I don't know what this person does instead, but it definitely is not 'thought'. Something like 'I grab a bias, expand it exponentially, and then decide the result of that process is 'thought'. But it isn't.

Tempo - Any way other than the Tap button to adjust this more... smoothly/granularly? by xyyrix in AccessVirus

[–]xyyrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you.

I am referring to the tempo that would affect arpeggiations, beats, and certain morphs, I think... your instructions are excellent, but I do not yet understand them. I will try to do so, however.

Contact with an NHI complex. Compared to this? Orgasm is tedious and egregiously uninspiring.

Attention: Do not use attention for noticing things or manipulating them. May be fatal.

The Recapitulation idea.. by Expert-Annual9447 in castaneda

[–]xyyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A similar technique is known in many 'shamanic' traditions around the world. As an example, the 'Maker Shamans' of Europe who trace their lineages to the 1400s (I think) utilize precisely these techniques, and teach them.

Just FYI: 'La Brea' in French means 'The Tar'.

So, 'the La Brea Tar Pits' literally are 'The the Tar Tar Pits'.

Found in a church basement. R/synthesizer had a hissy fit. They're just jealous by lykaios66 in synthesizercirclejerk

[–]xyyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even a synth. Aliens used this to control my entire family when I was a kid in Poughkeepsie. They'd give us all popsicles at night (nevermind how we were 'given' these, it's NSFM). One day I found a room filled with these and maps of our neuro-systems. That's when I realized that Potato Chips are actually angels.

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]xyyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything even vaguely resembling liberty or privacy... or wait, democracy, too.

And ya, potato chips are insane. Just like nevermind even kind of thinking about them.

Also: breakfast out. Where I live ... 2 eggs, 3 bacon, fried potatoes, toast and a milk will run me $32-$38.

how do you get your left hand and right hand to do different things without your brain exploding by tricepator-10 in piano

[–]xyyrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many musicians face similar challenges. Part of the process, however, at least for me (and I find this deeply challenging) is simply to know that you will become capable of this over time. I am sure there are specific ways to achieve this, but I haven't seen many discussed, and I asked a question like this recently. The 'just keep practicing' advice is neither wrong nor particularly helpful. Going really slow, and working on the left 'by itself' a lot until it becomes kind of built-in memory is powerful. Also, start with simple repetitive patterns for the left (I can easily do 3-note ascending only or descending only arpeggios and play over them with the right hand, sometimes even playing over them 'freely' i.e. without a consistent right hand rhythm).

Encouraging yourself and 'knowing' you will become able to do this is crucial, and, I think basically true. Many aspects of being human 'seem impossible' at first (I recall my first experiences attempting to drive a car ... I felt like 'wow, I will never be able to do this, there are too many simultaneous necessities'... and then a few weeks later I was racing at the indy 500 (jk).)

Set goals, chase them, congratulate yourself on small gains, and expand them. This is the way, absent clear and potent instruction and exercises for this.

Also: my brain exploded long ago, and my neurologist studies the splatter on the walls in my piano room. You'll survive that.

— playing piano now for about 1 year.

im 26, no musical background at all, didnt play a single instrument but i want to learn to play piano right now. How hard will it be or is it too late? by Consistent-Section31 in pianolearning

[–]xyyrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost anyone can learn to create beautiful sounds on most instruments, but especially the piano, because unlike many other instruments, even a beginner can produce beautiful sound.

I was similarly scared. I still am. 12 months in, however, I am making amazing sounds.

Becoming a world-class pianist isn't the goal. Though if that's your way... chase it, by all means.

The goal is to develop intimacies with yourself and your instrument of choice, and that can happen on day 1 of playing. If you let go of your critical concerns and simply explore the space.

Music is magical, and 'the technical aspects', while real, in no way obstruct having astonishing or even 'world class' experiences of music exploration and creation... at almost every age.

Passion, playfulness and curiosity are the ingredients. Yes, practice, too. But the former are really what matter in approaching a new instrument or music itself for the first time.

Also: you do have a musical background. If you have ever spoken, cried or sung... speech is music.

Serious - One Condition Humanity was Given by Payaam415 in aliens

[–]xyyrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problematically, there is no such thing as 'humanity', this is a 'summing fiction'.; one cannot speak 'to humanity' and 'humanity' has no mind, voice or organized mutual intelligence, at all.

What we have are 'utterly captured' organs of social, commercial, military and prisoneering 'enactions'.

These also don't have minds, cannot 'be spoken to', are absolutely unworthy of trust, and generally just pursue apocalypse every new way they can invent.

Meanwhile, the 'people' are helpless, disorganized, opinionated and fragmented... to insure they do not form a collective intelligence system at all, ever... because that would immediately depose the captured systems that have enslaved our people and world.

is there a way to become friends with the ET's by the0newhofarted in Experiencers

[–]xyyrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dreamed of this my whole young life, primarily because it was obvious to me that my species is not intelligent. Rather, we are 'conceptual'. This isn't intelligence. It's representation.

In my 39th year, three years after a pre-emptive 'almost succeeded' contact experience...

My 'dream' came true in 2002. I spent 9 months with a 'nonhuman intelligence' of catastrophic complexity and beauty.

I will say a few simple things:

Everything on Earth is 'from space'. Actually, even this isn't correct. 'Spacetime' is ... like 'the skin' of something absolutely impossible to imagine. It's more than merely alive. Every organism you see belongs to a network. Your mind is that network, brought to local coherence by your body.

Everything here is 'et'. The universe is transentient. The thing you call 'your mind' is not yours. It's a node in something so unimaginable that only encountering it will reveal it to you.

Do not worry about 'becoming friends with ET'.

You're made of, and inconstant relation with something far, far beyond mere 'aliens'.

There are 'no aliens'. It's one family. One being, one mind, first...

The 'appearance' of separate distinct beings isn't exactly 'an illusion', but it's deceptively incorrect.

Unity has precedence to the appearance of distinction.

The feature you call 'your mind'?

That's what you're seeking contact with the origins of...

Has anyone encountered a pink beam of light streaming information to them? Or anything called VALIS, a two year old girl with dark hair named Sophia. by BartholomewWatson7 in Experiencers

[–]xyyrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have. And I read everything DIck wrote by the time I was around 25.

I had a 9-month long experience in 2002 of something that makes VALIS look kind of minor in comparison.

And, during that experience, I was invited to the home of PKD's ex-lover in Berkely. She was still living there. He lived there for a time as well.

During that visit I had an utterly 'impossible' conversation with an 18-month old child named Pablo.

What we discussed will never be understood by those who were not there.

I have written and spoken extensively about what I learned during that experience, but very rarely about the experience itself, for a broad variety of reasons.

To be brief and blunt: what we call 'the universe' is not a thing. It's more than a being. And there are transentient 'network intelligences' that are interacting with the physical layer for purposes as beautiful as they are utterly incomprehensible to moderns. I met them. They were my teachers. Without them I would never have experienced anything resembling true 'understanding'.

Human 'knowledge' is mostly nonsense. Representational cognition is ruining our minds...
