December 1979: Laminate

 


The entire modern world is in error in holding that time is the matrix of being.  The Buddha, upon his enlightenment, recalled (all) his past lives, which means that he converted time into space — i.e., abolished time, and added to space. You wind up with no time and lots of space. And different temporal modes are superimposed (like the BIP, past present and future) like layers of transparencies of an animated film superimposed (laminated). 


Not seen in sequence but as a multi-superimposition unity unchanging, no longer in flux.

Or — is it that as each lamination is superimposed, the previous ones (the past) remain? Like the phosphene "graphics" which I saw: constants emerged. So they did not replace one another but were added to.


Built up the entelechy assembling itself; when you go to step "y" you don't abolish step "x" nor "w" before "x"; they're added to: laminated: so-to-speak imploded (opposite of an "exploded" diagram). Yes; time explodes reality, the opposite direction of added-to “implosion” - or what I thought to be implosion;   it was actually lamination.  


So that's what I did in Ubik- correctly represented time spatially and the past as spatially within - literally within - the present. And in the speeded-up process (never mind how you "speed up" purely spatial information) I bet I was able to write Ubik because of partially having had a time-into-space-conversion experience prior to writing it (maybe due to psychedelics).


I was very right in Ubik to see how it related to Plato's forms. The past can be retrieved along a spatial axis — as in Ubik!


 I did it, when I saw "Acts" 





ACH!!   VALIS is such an important book— it deals dramatically and theoretically with the issues first presented in Ubik and is Ubiks logical successor (finally — no more police state novel). Ubik, then, is a novel representing a partway enlightenment and Ubik is related to Stigmata and Maze, etc. I must in 2-3-74 have attained enlightenment as the result of decades of gradual spirit (evolutionary) growth. There is a direct connection between Ubik and 2-3-74: it has to do with converting time into space and the results obtained therefrom, as put forth in VALIS.


Where I lucked out was finding the "here, my son, time changes into space" utterance in Parsifal because it united:


  1. Buddha's enlightenment
  2. Paracelsus's inner space
  3. Plato's space as matrix of being

Inherent Voices: The Crying of Scat 49

 


The manager, a drop-out named Miles, maybe sixteen with a Beatle haircut and a lapelless, cuffless, one-button mohair suit, carried her bags and sang to himself, possibly to her:

MILES'S SONG 

Too fat to Frag, 

That's what you tell me all the time,
When you really trying' to put me down, 

But I'm hip, 

So close your big fat lip, 

Yeah, baby, I may be too fat to frag, 

But at least I ain't too slim to Swim.

“It’s lovely” said Oedipa, “but why do you sing with an English accent when you don’t talk that way?”

"It's this group I'm in," Miles explained, "the Paranoids.”


- Thomas Pynchon, 1966

Dumb America Pt. 5: Trash Stratum

 



Seated before my TV set I watched and waited for another message.  I, one of the members of the little Rhipidon Society which still, in my mind, existed. Like the satellite in miniature in the film Valis, the microform of it run over by the taxi as if it were an empty beer can in the gutter, the symbols of the divine show up in our world initially at the trash stratum. Or so I told myself. Kevin had expressed this thought. The divine intrudes where you least expect it.

Synchro-mystihkal: Timings I Have Known And Loved

“Use iAhuasca with care and with respect as to the transformations it can achieve, and you have an extraordinary research tool. Go banging about with a psychedelic drug for a Saturday night turn-on, and you can get into a really bad place, psychologically. Or you can get into a really good place.  

Know why you're watching, decide just why you're listening, and you can have a rich experience. It isn’t addictive, and it certainly isn’t escapist, either, but it is an exceptionally valuable tool for understanding magic, and how it works.”

They say 50% of John Dee’s journals were burned in a stove before they were salvaged.

Rather miraculous.  Or lucky.  But if the rescue was not miraculous or just fortunate timing, odds are that 50% of John Dee’s writings were hidden, or taken, and not burned in the backyard stove.

,

Whether the texts of John Dee are what survived or what was left behind, we know that they are incomplete.


PKD’s Exegesis has been edited in all published editions, it is incomplete.  


The letter i in mathematics stands for an imaginary number.  These incomplete journals of Dee and PKD have the wound of Amfortas. 

This is where is where Dee and PKD meet in unison, their fundamental understanding of mathematics and the transformation of mathematics through the use of an imaginary number.
