The Biggest Tech in Shielded in Stealth
it’s everywhere and because it’s invisible, we don’t question it…
Inspired by Alberto García 🚀🚀🚀 Thanks AG!
Psst — Can you guess what it is?
It’s been around as long as humans have roamed the planet. It became much more significant at the dawn of civilizations. It has two forms. One form happens between people in person. And machine tech allows this form a farther reach. The second form happens when people see images.
As you read this you are using it now. You are a writer/reader using this technology on Medium and all other internet platforms. And life in general.
It is the What, When, How, Where & Why of Our Lives
Ever look at a map? You have maps on your smartphone, in your GPS device in your car. Or doing old-school printed maps are in the glove compartment.
Maps are symbols of the territory.
Like maps; letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, and stories are symbols of a territory.
Yes, language is the invisible technology that we learn from birth. We learn from our mothers, our fathers, our siblings. Language defines us. It gives us our identity. It helps foster separation and individuation. We learn written language and structure in school.
It defines and quantifies time as modern people define time. Time is an invention, a kind of tech that divides our reality into pieces. Language and by extension, time, manage all the systems of modern civilization. Much like science civilized life is a divide, reduce, and explain. It works ever so well across many centuries.
Many people think in words. It is their primary mode of thinking. My stream of consciousness is pictures and words a close second. Synesthesia is a neurological condition where one cognitive pathway creates an involuntary sensory experience. Such as hearing music and seeing colors, looking at a person and experiencing taste. Or spacial — called number-form synesthesia. I have number form synesthesia — seeing the days of the week and months of the year on a map with mythic spatial imagery of landscapes. For instance, Monday through Friday has peaks, plateaus, valleys, cliffs, meadows, and rivers.
I ran into a blog where the author had no concept of a stream of consciousness beyond words. I receive information from pictures — part of my problem solving process. I translate the pictures both inner and outer into language.
S.I. Hayakawa’s book, Language in Thought and Action shaped how words defined identity. It was life changing. In later years I began to see how words as symbols of reality were tiny windows into a larger world.
Beyond Language
My experiments in psychedelics from mushrooms to LSD blasted open my world into larger realities. I discovered worlds beyond words and psychedelics. My foundation through the Gurdjieff Work and Vispassanā Meditation opened up the multiverse. It began in 1981
Without the use of psychedelics or any drugs: • Helping save a woman from suicide through a vision and the follow-up afterward. • Seeing pulsing light like blood through trees and leaves. • Light connecting others from heart to heart in broad arcs of white light. • Shapeshifting into a crow and instantly understanding their culture. • Spirit travel to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. • Clearing cancer from a client’s body.
How?
How can we reach beyond language? To do this is a release of the self/personality or ego. Beneath ego is essence. Essence has a place within us. It is a frequency of light or prana as in prana of spirit or soul. Working with essence is the core of who we are. This goes unnoticed by most people.
Through self-observation, there are opportunities to witness many aspects of our egos/personalities. I learned the truth about the light within and shadow elements. The way of observation is both dispassionate, non-judgmental, and neutral. After gathering many observations a witness began to solidify — and essence was rediscovered. The witness became a steward of the inner self, and eventually the Master. (See Self-Observation — a Primer for more on the technique.)
Once a connection to essence was established the work began. A force grew. Essence belongs to the infinite and the world of Being.
Being Transcends Language, Ego, and Time
Being is difficult to describe because it dwells outside time, beyond language. It can hold ego. But ego cannot hold Being. Being can hold all the lifetimes we’ve ever lived. All Being States have unconditional Love as their primary motivator. Yet Being does nothing. It “is”.
I first experienced Being in April of 1991. I was at a Bennett-Gurdjieff School at Claymont in West Virginia in 1981. We were learning the Expanded Present Moment Exercise. It spanned a 20-year period. Back to 1971 and forward 1991. On the day of the future parameter of the exercise, I said:
So, that’s it!
I recognized going forward in time was in a Being State.
Being States are not attached to the things of life. I knew I would be okay no matter what would happen in the mundane world of time. That wouldn’t mean that I would not experience suffering. It has meant that suffering physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual angst can be transcended by releasing my attachments to it.
All arises from spirit, yet I remain attached to my body. Behind my body is spirit. Spirit holds my body.
It’s all about the light.
Thank you for joining me in the adventures of language and other ways of perceiving beyond language. I welcome comments and questions if need be or by want.
Blessings, Passion,Love, and Grace on your journey.
May whatever or whomever your looking for — find you.
