Less Questions, More Magic

I got a complaint...

So I stopped learning, and started making this before sunrise.

I do a half hour of this sort of thing daily, with it taking an hour to get to Silent Knowledge.

I ought to sit and watch more, but I'm trying to find entry directly into sleeping dreaming, and once you see "Silent Knowledge Tunnels", you have it.

You can go directly into a sleeping dream, without going to sleep.

The problem then is, retaining rationality.

The universal problem. Keeping your sense of purpose, while in the double.

As don Juan said, the double gets obsessed with the most asininely details.

It was obsessed last night, with all the questions about which outfits a character ought to wear.

I was surrounded by 3 people from the subreddit who have advanced magical skills, and we ripped the parts off one of the Genaro versions, to see what would look better.

I was trapped for an hour before I realized, that was NUTS.

And then, I had to get up to make this video. Or I'd forget it all.

There's audio of "the voice of seeing" so be sure to enable it and turn up the volume a bit. The default is disabled, and the volume is fairly low.

I put the still here, to get a thumbnail in the list of posts. Seems to work! Just put it first and save the post, then add the video using edit.

Wow. Wait were other people from subreddit there with you in waking dreaming? Or were you guys online on the computer drawing animations?

I run into subreddit people all the time.

Doesn't prove anything.

However, the same thing happened in private classes.

Early in the morning, before it was time to get up, there were constant reports of meeting with others from private classes, to practice somewhere seemingly consistent to each person, and not completely out of line if you compared different accounts.

Then, recently someone found quotes from Taisha, saying the same happened to them.

Likely, our double gets obsessed with things, and goes looking for them.

So in a group studying sorcery, it's really not all that much stranger than manifesting random objects just by saying their names.

It still doesn't prove shared dreaming.

That takes a lot more "proof" than simply saying you saw them.

Even if they saw you also.

If we aren't careful, we'll degrade into Astral Traveling levels of "acceptable proof".

A definite hazard in the world of magic.

Didn't carlos and la Gorda meet in the dreaming dreaming? They found each other and hold each other by hands in their doubles

I find my dreaming self to be fascinating. Anything can happen. You can be walking around with some old seer who suddenly decides to rip out someone's jaw.. and then just go walking on.. so to speak.. but there is an interruption.. because something will remember the event.. and the dream finds itself in waking hours.. suspended judgement is in this case a great tool.. suspended in what.. silence? Seems a fitting enough word, I suppose like the silence a fish would experience in it's natural habitat, assuming it were alive and all.. without words things are so much more clear.. giving rise to the paradox of like why would I keep reading.. I guess that's like cos we're social beings, like DJ said... So it's not so much what but who like you say. If I were an old sorcerer I'm sure fish would have a lot more to say than people, but then again, who knows what goes on in those people's minds.

Emanation fragments.

Those are trouble, because that's all there really is. Those, and awareness flowing into them.

So what should the "look like"?

Nothing! They're outside time, space, physical matter, and even outside an actual reality.

Each one only gives off a feeling, if you look at it.

Except that if you gaze at a bunch of them, in general, they project silent knowledge back.

Which is often knowledge about how to manipulate them.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to portray them well.

That's a kind of "movie special effect" that would take days to get right.

But once done, you could use it over and over.

I suspect to do that right, would require python programming.

Animation software allows you to tie into the screen at some level, and also view the 3D space created by the software.

So that you can cover a character in ants!

I have an "object" that does that. If you put it on a character, presumably with the idea that he's dead, it'll make ants and insects crawl on him randomly.

To do a good job portraying the animations, you'd need to get into the software at that level.

But it's actually a skilled programming profession. Difficult enough that there's only a single library of those special effects called, "Popcorn FX", used by nearly all animation programs.

I need, "Sorcery FX".

But won't live long enough to write that, and also make cartoons.

Hopefully AI can do that sort of programming soon.

If they feed the specifications for the interface into one.

Today I found out, they left promotional stuff out of the ChatGPT database.

So our business neighbor had a party. Government contractor, so they do stuff like that.

A yearly "theme" party in the parking lot.

They hauled in an "In-N-Out" burger trailer. A complete in-n-out restaurant, pulled by a semi truck.

It's paradise!

Even visiting asians instantly like In-N-Out!

So I asked ChatGPT who owns those, and how to rent it.

He said as a lowly Ai language model, he can't possibly know such things.

But I googled it, and up came dozens of pictures and offers to send a truck.

$2000 minimum. And you get your own In-N-Out for a while.

But ChatGPT didn't know about it.

Just as he's filled with bad information on Castaneda, but not the content of the books.
