The Last Word Pt. 4: Synchronicity is the Last Form of Ego




The turn.  The bend.  The twist.  The corner.  There were quite a few in Alma’s family who had gone around it.  She imagined it must be a sudden angle in your thinking that you couldn’t see approaching in the way that you couldn’t see the coroner on the street in front of you.  It was invisible, or nearly so; possibly see through, like a green house or a ghost.  This corner's lines ran a completely different way to all the others.  So instead of going forward, down, or sideways, they went somewhere else, in a direction that you couldn’t draw or even think about, and once you turned this hidden corner, you were lost forever.  You were in a maze you couldn’t see, and didn’t even know you was there.   

Alan Moore





Non-locality changes the game.  Non-locality is not about seeking the answer, it IS the answer.  Once you have by chance or by design encountered it, the game becomes a bit more grown up.  Now you have to face the answer.  No more trips to Ceylon are necessary.  No more parties in LA, no opening of chakras or revelation of shastras or passing of mantras or building of yantras is going to carry you any further than where you have finally arrived.  You have found the answer, 
and now you have to face it.  And people just hate that.  It’s appalling.  It doesn’t feel like fun at all.  
"The Answer" : here it is.  What to do with it? 

Terence McKenna

I, too, sing of a communication struggle here.  I am trying to describe the unspeakable by moving the boundaries of what can be said and what can’t be said.  Am I succeeding or failing?  I know that every time I attempt to gather the freshly shed skin of synchronicity for approval, the first emotion I have is guilt, followed immediately by embarrassment.   Because I am hideously unfaithful to a truth that I know can’t be told.   But somewhere deep inside there is a voice that offers hope that this project has helped to create an object of discourse that can be returned to in various states of mind.


What this is is the tiling of an abyss, an attempt to shape a memory of perceptions felt after a brief flash of lightning in an endless void.  No matter how much I am able to bring back, no matter how much detail I provide, it is still an incredible flattening.  Language is not an adequate tool, which makes me painfully aware that the most high flown, hysteria provoking descriptions of non-locality I’ve ever been able to summon up were complete betrayals of the real thing.  So not what it was that the word LIE is almost applicable.  But it’s the best I can do.

Terence McKenna


According to McLuhan, how we process language is not a biologically determined thing.  Language is a culturally determined thing.  As we slowly migrate out of the shadow of a print controlled modality, our relatively empty heads are sensing what once was, how our heads once were: filled by an orchestra of individuated wonder.  This is another attempt to help restore that.

If you think about iAhuasca for a moment, it’s a very low-speed, torturous technology, but the end result of it?   You have a chance to see what I mean.  How else can I say, "I'd like to show you a profound world changing synchronicity," and actually have the audacity to mean it? 


"There is a doorway,” Emmanuel said, “to her land.  It can be found anywhere that the Golden Proportion exists.  Is that not true, Zina?”
“True,” she said.
“Based on the Fibonacci Constant,” Emmanuel said.  “A ratio,” he explained to Herb Asher. 

“1: .618034….The ancient Greeks knew it as the Golden Section and as the Golden Rectangle.  Their architecture utilized it…for instance, the Parthenon.  For the Greeks, it was a geometric model, but Fibonacci of Pisa, in the Middle Ages, developed it in terms of pure number.”
“In this room alone,” Zina said, “I count several doors.  The ratio,” she said to Herb Asher, 

“is that used in playing cards: three to five.  
It is found in snail shells and extra-galactic nebulae, from the pattern foundation formation of the hair on your head to—“  
“It pervades the universe,” Emmanuel said, ”from the microcosms to the macrocosms.  
It has been called one of the names of God.”

Philip K. Dick
 
Crowley devised a clever symbol for this irrational doorway.  Seen locally, rational twin siblings.  Non-locally,  the eyes and ears of the rabbit:

 ? !

The rational twins fight and fuck and flail and wail, taking axes to the doorways of their perceptions.  The rabbit?  The rabbit slips effortlessly into the non-repeating infinity of the golden dawn.  



 



What's up, Doc?

  1. Been struggling with the same for a long time too. I found this a couple days ago, and may be shoehorning a little to place it here, but not too much.

    "There is a wonderful point in many stories which comes after the characters and general lines of action are set, when things begin to move by themselves. This is where the unconscious takes over. All the writer's submerged beliefs and fears and hopes come surging joyfully to the surface to take full charge, and the writer's only function is to type fast enough to keep up. This happy state unfortunately isn't common. But when it does come, there are few greater pleasures in life.

    The reason, of course, is that (besides the necessary money) such stories bring their writers that glorious free-fall sensation which is a kind of catharsis of the unconscious. Characters personifying one's deeply felt beliefs and values test them out in a fictional world. You don't know at the time what's happened. You just know you feel wonderful. Long afterward, rereading the work, you can see what lies just under the surface."

  2. Let the boundaries hit the floor.

    Love the passage, that yours?

  3. No the passage isn't mine, but I know what he means. I used to write privately on and off for a few years then in 2010/2011 the writing became more focused and I experienced exactly what he's describing for a few months. It's through that that sync became a real thing and everything related to it opened up.

    Those few months ended with me "trying to describe the unspeakable by moving the boundaries of what can be said and what can’t be said." and unskillfully falling off the side.

    "You have found the answer, and now you have to face it. And people just hate that. It’s appalling. It doesn’t feel like fun at all.
    "The Answer" : here it is. What to do with it?"

    yip, that's it.

    Do you not think anybody could relate that particular section to almost any fulfilling discovery, but for McKenna to specifically relate it to non-local, and to add no more parties in LA, no more opening chakras etc, it really hits home?

    The Answer is the same THE from end to end, and we're all at/heading to different train stations, waiting for/moving towards the same train.

    Though of course, as I'm sure you know, Bill, the tricky thing is keeping the station with you when you board and the train moves off.


    The quote comes from

    scroll down to the sixth listed review from 11 Sept. 2012 (jesus christ... the date... just noticed)

    It's strange that review isn't listed on Amazon.com where it should be, so you can only see it by proxy of Amazon.co.uk.

  5. Why the heading about ego? Is it your synchronicities that feed your ego? The Phenom of meaningful coincidences is something beyond ego. Taking notice of synchs does not feed my ego. It feeds my awareness. 87

    1. I have waited to respond to this for so long because I did not know the right way to explain. One may become too attached to anything in this world, and ego is merely the mode of attachment. Synchronicity is the awareness of beauty itself, and detaching oneself from the beauty it provides feels as if it is the final test of awareness. Or something like that.
