1st Circuit LAB work, Supplemental

The robot needs fuel
It suprises me that despite the thousands of books on the market, none of them that I am aware of address the specifics of diet when it comes to "magick". The current fashion of health fixation, which produces books and groups doing Yoga for some pretty vain reasons, will occassionally turn it head towards diets aimed at helping pregnant mothers, or women wishing to lose weight and tone up through an ancient spiritual technique that has become not much more than another therapy.
The one book I have found that addresses the issue of diet for those taking their first steps in magickal practice is "Paenitere - An Introduction to the Occult Arts for the Neophyte", by William Blystone. It in he lays out several weeks of diet for those engaged in practices such as Asana and, later, Pranayama. These practices cause considerable stress to the body, and the implications of this in my view should not be taken lightly. Anyone who has attempted to stay in an Asana for any length of time will be aware of the agonising pain, often requiring some time in repose after the excercise. At times over the last few days I have been almost frozen stiff in the "God Pose", unable to stand up due to stiffening of the muscles in my back.
No marathon runner would ignore their diet, and so no one undergoing such rigourous physical disciplines as this type of Yoga should either. With the promise of "vitalisation" associated with these practices, it is easy to forget that they also require energy to produce energy.
For this reason, I will attempt to provide my body with some essentials that it has been deficient in for some time. The 5 peices of fruit or veg a day rule is not something that young people on a tight budget are easily able to fulfill.
Perhaps the easiest way for me to meet this requirement is through juices. The regime I propose consists of two glasses of freshly prepared fruit/veg smoothies a day - one in the morning, and one in the late afternoon.
Chakra-Fruit Correspondances:
Crown Chakra -Sahasrara

Air: fasting / detoxing
Incense and Smudging Herbs: sage, copal, myrrh, frankincense, and juniper (These herbs are not to be eaten but are ritually inhaled through the nostrils or can be smoked through a ceremony pipe for purification purposes)
Third Eye Chakra -Ajna

Dark bluish colored fruits: blueberries, red grapes, black berries, raspberries, etc.
Liquids: red wines and grape juice
Spices: lavender, poppy seed, mugwort
Throat Chakra - Vishuddha
Liquids in general: water, fruit juices, herbal teas
Tart or tangy fruits: lemons, limes, grapefruit, kiwi
Heart Chakra - Anahata

Leafy vegetables: spinach, kale, dandelion greens, etc.
Air vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, squash, etc.
Liquids: green teas
Spices: basil, sage, thyme, cilantro, parsley

Solar Plexus Chakra - Manipura

Granola and Grains: pastas, breads, cereal, rices, flax seed, sunflower seeds, etc.
Dairy: milk, cheeses, yogurt
Spices: ginger, mints (peppermint, spearmint, etc.), melissa, chamomile, turmeric, cumin, fennel

Groin Chakra - Swadhisthana

Sweet fruits: melons, mangos, strawberries, passion fruit, oranges, coconut, etc.
Honey
Nuts: almonds, walnuts, etc.
Spices: cinnamon, vanilla, carob, sweet paprika, sesame seeds, caraway seeds

Root Chakra - Muladhara

Root vegetables: carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, beets, onions, garlic, etc.
Protein-rich foods: eggs, meats, beans, tofu, soy products, peanut butter
Spices: horseradish, hot paprika, chives, cayenne, pepper
Other tree growing fruits: apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc.
Spices: salt, lemon grass

So, for the period in which I am working with the Grounding Excercise, I will prepare a combination of the above fruits and vegetables. An example could be: Apple, Pear, Plum and Peache Smoothie in the morning, followed by Carrot, Beetroot, Apple and Pear in the afternoon.
If I start working with two chakras at the same time, as I might through the Angel Tech course, I might prepare Mulahdara food in the Morning, and Swadhisthana food in the evening.

1st Circuit LAB Ideogramatics

1st Circuit Lab Report, Week 1

Excercise: Asana, basic sitting meditation. Sitting in a chair, with feet on the ground. Purpose of excercise: to absorb and circulate energies received/produced by this practice, through posture, concentration on breath and vibration of appropriate sounds.
Day 1, Tuesday 26/09
10am: Sat and meditated. Attempted to breath deeply in order to increase awareness of connection to the earth, to the physical environment. Highly tense, resulting in my mind protesting greatly to the excercise, which felt like my body wanted to get up and run somewhere. No results.
Day 2, Wednesday 27/09


1pm: Incorporated vibration of the five vowels sounds (I, E, A, O, U repsectivly) but did not use a banishing ritual. This was simply to stabilise the energies in my body so it didn't feel like running away again. Did this twice, then documented the following results:

1. More tense than i thought.
2. Vibrations shaky, jerky, blocked, specifically with vowels A and E.
3. Significant increase in internal body temperature
4. Attempting to relax into vibrations meant that my posture automatically improved.

I then spent a few minutes re:pose, sensing, being aware of, my weight and physical connection with my environment. After a few minutes i decided....

Rather than do any excercise simply spend 15 minutes being aware of my breathing and connection to the ground.

During this phase breathing through my mouth felt like too much of a strain, and so i focussed on my natural rhymthe. After a few minutes, my body began breathing through the mouth naturally, as a response to simple allowing what happened to happen.

There was a further increase in internal body temperature as well as some sweating. Tingling also began in my right foot, and then my left. I realised that with practice i could draw this energy up into my body. The experience is therefor physical in nature (as i observed) and not purely mental.

As part of the meditation I allowed what happened to happen. This meant that i "grounded" myself in the environment as best i could, allowing sounds (old pipes, people in the hall), smells (summer breeze infused with dirty washing) and physical sensations (trembling from Asana, feet on ground, base of spine, rigidity in chest etc) to become part of my accepted home. Part of my present, and therefor part of my awareness.

Day 3, Thursday 28/09

I have identified three key components to this Grounding Excercise:

  1. Asana, mainting a posture for an extended amount of time.
  2. Pranayama, controlled rhythmic breathing.
  3. Work with a specific Energy (in this case, Earth)

I now am of the opinion that it will take approximatly three weeks of daily practice to prepare my body in Asana (to at least strengthen my back), in order to practice deep breathing safely and in order to experience the Earth Energies. Therefore, there I will focus specifically on Asana for the time being, with any experience of Pranayama and Energies being an added bonus. I will, however, keep in mind that the aim of this excercise is grounding through a raport with the Earth.

Practice:

  1. Asana ("God Pose", Crowley, Liber 4 "Magick"): 22 Mins, 12:17 - 12:39, no alarm set. Notes: Mind distracted - focus on breathing not clear enough. Earth Energies are weeks, some mild tingling is all. After the excercise, my mood was highly contemplative and accepting. I felt I did not want to change the world before me in any way, that it needed no change - it can offer grounding, and I wanted nothing more than that in its own sweet time.
  2. Asana: 32 Mins, 16:05 - 16:37, alarm set for 1 hour. Notes: already becoming easier to breathe from the belly and through the mouth. Really annoying tiring of the back, almost like it shifts down a gear into a less strenuos slouch. Waves of sensation after approximatly 20-25mins, some concerning being stuck to the Earth ("Bump Consciousness", Alli, 2006) but also feeling stuck "in space", like I was, for moments, connected to everything and not just to the earth through my feet and base of spine. Afterwards I actually felt and experienced the world as someone about 3-4 inches taller!

Friday, 29/09

In breif (out to lunch)

  1. Deep breathing: Sighing sound x 6, "AH" x 12 (Hyatt, Radical Undoing, 2006)
  2. Vibration of 5 vowel sounds x 3 (Carroll, Timedragons, 2005)
  3. Asana (Zazen?) 35 mins, 13:55 onwards, alarm set for 1 hour.
  4. Results to follow. Same as before, but this time breathed according to sensations and vibrated energies I was aware of. Increased flow leading to vibration in feet, and increase in internal body temperature (naked, in cold room - got very hot and sweaty)

Amended Spaceship Maintenance

Primary Focus: Circuits 1 and 2.

Circuit 1:
Mechanical Problem: Lack of grounding, feeling "not ok". Some Inertia as result.
Maintenance Required: Grounding
Excercise: Daily practice of following grounding method. "Remember the body as the only part of ourselves always in present time" (Antero Alli, "Angel Tech" online course, 09/26/06).
  1. Still the mind. In previous experiments my mind has made my body want to fidget. It tells my body that the experiment is a waste of time, and often makes me aware of increasing discomfourt in sustaining a position for more that 30 seconds. Because of this I will perform a Psychonautic Banishing Ritual (Carroll et al, 2003) before practice of Grounding for one week, and post results. Grounding myself to ground myself, in a sense. "Time is only wasted when there is no real experience" (Antero Alli, private message, 2006).
  2. Grounding: Sitting upright, with feet on the floor. Circulation of Earth Energy, awareness of intra-planetary relationship. Aiming for 15mins a day! (Alli, 2006, "Angel Tech" p. 77-80)
Circuit 2:
Mechanical Problem: The Emoto-Loop, or broken record, leading to repetition of Emotional Karma (much like Prometheus having his liver pecked out by birds every day, before it grows back in the night, for eternity). "Thought is Tension" (Dr. C. S. Hyatt, 2003, "Undoing Yourself With Energised Meditation"). Every emotion has a corresponding physical tension. In my case, some emotions have been so overused that Chronic Tensions have developed, making my face, in particular, immobile except for a limited range of expressions. The face takes up a lot of brain-room, and stores every emotion.
Maintenance Required: Deep tissue relaxation of the face, leading to re:energising of muscles held in chronic tension. This will break up dominant emotional and associated thought patterns, creating more brain-space for authentic relationships with Gaia and her children :)
Excercise: Energising Techniques, "chakra therapy". Involving Pranayama and occult relaxation techniques that have similar effects to deep tissue and energising massage. Due to the nature of the excercises, I will not be posting what they are, just the results. I.e, "chakra therapy eliminated emotional association #35 for X amount of time". This may change once I have a better understanding of copyright laws! 1 Hour session 3 times a week, for the foreseeable future.

Nb~ I spend a large proportion of my life living in tensions between these two circuits.

Nb2~ I spent a lot of time berating myself for my inadequacies. Then today i looked at my evaluation and realises my propensity for mind over matter. I wrote my evaluations feeling like a bum, and now realise that I am far more accomplished in 1st and 2nd circuit function than most people of my physiological age because i've had to consciouslly work hard at being "normal", or stable. Now i'm just writing on because I've impressed myself (so much for the blog!). Not long ago i smoked marijuana everyday, never washed, never had any money, never expressed much emotion, never did any excercise, never had any hobbies. Now...well....lets just say I've increased my intelligence. All of the above negatives have become positives, despite the memories of how i used to be and what got me there throwing me off center in times of ordeal.

Sorry….what now? Quantum non-locality??


Thats my best attempt at getting a base-line evaluation of my functions.

Manifesto

Hypothesis: I can willfully increase my intelligence.

This hypothesis is based on the assumption that intelligence is both relative and maleable.

Relative in that Intelligence is universal, and obays certain laws of function. Maleable in the sense that these laws can be used to direct intelligence in specific ways, and thus facilitate an increase, or mutation.

The Model: The 8 Circuit Model of the Brain.

This model proposes 8 degrees, or dimensions, or Intelligence: Physical, Emotional, Conceptual, Social, Somantic, Electric/Metaprogramming, Genetic and Atomic.

The model is based on "circuits" because they do not often operate independently of each other. 1st circuit physiological intelligence grounds 2nd circuit emotional intelligence, these inform the nature of 3rd circuit conceptual intelligence, and the efficiency of communication between these three circuits determines our social ability, or intelligence.

Beyond these 4 terestrial circuits lie what is beleived to be 4 extra-terrestrial circuits. 5th circuit neurosomantic consciousness prepares the previous 4 circuits for space migration, associated with "free fall", or loss of the sensation of gravity, experiences often resulting from practices such as smoking marijuana and tantric sex. 6th Circuit Neuroelectric consciousness is the intelligence increase resulting from the mind becoming aware of itself outside of the programmes (sequences and algorithms) that dictate the function of the previous 5 circuits. Similar to accounts of "the third eye", or the "Eye of Shiva", it functions as an observer almost outside of the brain, observing the function of the brain but somehow detached from it. Programmes such as emotions, concepts and status become not the reality, but the map by which the operator navigates reality.

The Neurogenetic circuit almost needs no explaination. It is the consciousness of our genes - the history of the universe imbedded in our biology. Housing an acute record of every human experience from which our genes have learned and developed it has been said to be the key to human immortality. Those with access to this intelligence may as well be billions of years old.

Just like the brain I am using now is not 22 (my physiological age) but billions of years old, so to is the intelligence of those that have accessed the neurogenetic script. If my brain was in fact 22 years old, it would be little more that primordial soup, and at best a collection of a few cells. The brain has taken a very long time to develop, and so we are all in possession of biological technology excruciatingly underestimated by the general public. The common knowledge that we use only about 1% of our brains goes some way towards illustrating their latent potential. Use it, or lose it.

The Neuroatomic circuit is the intelligence of atomic function. It is thus non-local, and associated with intergalactic communication through models such as quantum physics. It is the intelligence of life itself, the creation of life, and what lies outside of it. If we consider that Physiological intelligence is the intelligence of biological function ("ouch, my finger hurts"), then neuroatomic consciousness is the intelligence of atomic function ("my spirals of form salute your labyrinths of mind"). This circuit lets immortal humans operate outside of space-time, spawning many conspiracies about "secret groups that run the world" (apart from the conspiracies started by secret groups trying to run the world) such as "the Illuminati".

My Hypothesis is simple - by gaining an understanding of the mechanics of the first 4 circuits that I already have programmed into my biocomputer, i will be able to deliberatly affect their function increasing efficiency (ideally). Further, once these first 4 circuits are operating smoothly, to a certain degree of efficiency, I will then be able to gain an understanding of corresponding extra-terrestrial intelligences with a view to deliberatly affecting them so as to increase intelligence.

In simple terms, there are two stages to this process:
1. Preparing the space-time ship: building, maintenance and enhancement of the four terrestrial circuits to a degree in which I can advance to...
2. Fly the space-time ship: navigation, ethics (DNA), inter-galatic communication etc. This is also know as "alien mutation", or "body snatching".

Maintenance Requirements, Circuits 1-4

1st Circuit: Physiological:

Excessive Pleasure: Primarily Oral: Smoking, Eating Rubbish:
Neglect of Necessity: Primarily Tactile: Withholding affection: Living in a mess: Poor Hygiene

Intelligence Increase: Better diet, reduce smoking: Keep Clean - environments, outside and inside: Maintain personal space: making body feel like home

Excercise: 1. Practice of Motionlessness: Sitting Meditation. 15mins a day, time increasing with practice, for 1 week.
2. Define a "balanced" diet for one week. How would I could I eat 14 healthy meals a week?


2nd Circuit: Emotional-Territorial:

Over-Reaction to specific emotions: tendency to become overwhelmed and carried away: identification with emotion to the point of becoming the emotion.

Intelligence Increase: Identification of malfunctioning emotions: identification of significant emotions: understanding anatomy of emotions (physiological reactions, associated concepts, emotions related to emotions etc): Understanding personal idiocies (arrogance, inadequacy etc).

Excercise: Detail and define a list of emotions with greatest significance: detail and define the anatomy of these emotions: discern their strengths and limitations

3rd Circuit: Conceptual
Broken Record: Emotion and security affirming creation of maps: as such, victim and martyr (minimal) scripts: function obscured through emotional and physiological needs. Having my head up my ass.
Intelligence Increase: study of a symbol system that seems "out of character": study a symbol system of minimal emotional significance
Excercise: Read 1 "random" article every day for 1 month.
4th Circuit: Socio-Sexual
Chronic Introversion: difficulty in relating to others due to preoccupation with relationship to self: difficulty in creating the space-time to relate to others: negative bias reducing capacity for spontaneous social interaction.
Intelligence Increase: The Spiritual Family (circle of humanity): social network:
Excercise: Good question...
Circuits 1 and 2, according to my physiological evaluation, could do with some energising. This will affect the efficiency of circuits 3 and 4 also. Therefore, primary focus on circuits 1 and 2 and will include, additional to the above excercises, practice of Chakra Therapy, 3 hours per week.

Definition:

"Defined by the manner in which we relate to others...

After registering enough physical safety, emotional strength
and conceptual skill, it is only natural to want to reach
out to others...
The Key to increasing our Social Intelligence..is out
ability to develop and deepen our Individual Integrity
as a basis for Playing With Others."
(Angel Tech, P. 56)

The understanding necessary to unify personal modes and methods with those of others; compatability, conformity, integrity, group-think, sense of what defines public and what defines private, cohesion, social expression and extension.

Summary of Evaluation:
This circuit has a strong NEOTENY instinct, a focus on the art of staying young at heart, rather than with preoccupations concerning "how not to die". The art of waiting to die while laughing.

I have a skill in selecting friends who will challenge and expand the experience of relationships, and in avoiding groups huddled against the all-consuming IMMINENT DEATH.

However, circuits 1-3 functioning at current efficiency, I am often too preoccupied with how I relate to myself to relate to other people, and so have missed opportunities.

Negative Biases:
Not many.
One identified - finding the occupations of members of society trivial. Preferring to engage with myself over engaging with others.

Malfunctions:
Karma Repetition - (Broken Record) There have been more times in my life that I have felt abyssmally lonly than I could ever have anticipated. This has spawned a drive to entertain and educate myself, while at the same time perpetuating a pre-occupation with myself and a diminished ability to find the space-time to relate to others effectivly.

Higher Circuit Communication:
8th Circuit Intelligence has, I suppose, shocked me into finding closer affinity with the currents behind social existence and function rather than with the vehicles of these currents, the people, themselves. Zeig Hail.

Definition: Third Circuit Conceptual Intelligence functions as the ability to problem solve, make maps of mental and physical territories, articulation of this information and the power of naming. It translates information from an environment and transforms it into Concepts, codes of interaction with the environment. I experience it as a Tool-Making intelligence. It is interpretative rather than creative, as it has to interpret the requirement of a tool before it can "create" one.

Summary of Evaluation: This circuit gets a higher mark than the rest, as my world is changing from mundane, pointless, tedious and drab to a sexier, more attractive adventure playground that is funnier, informative and creative in an interpretive sense. Absurdity keeps me sane. Work keeps me centered. The results make me laugh.

Malfunctions:

Pretty Vacant - I have a secret loser script imbedded in my nervous system that whispers "I am not smart, I am deluding myself into thinking that so as to meet security and emotional needs" - I have heard it from teachers, peers and the social welfare office.

Karma Repetition - ("broken record") 2nd Circuit appears to short circuit gear 3, in that it demands attention paid to over-reactions to emotional issues from 3rd gear intelligence. It generates ideas about emotions that create ideas about ideas, thus hiding the genuine symbolic (conceptual) meaning of the thought/idea.
Emotional Attachments to ideas often become so important they obscure the value of the idea itself.

Negative Biases:
"We cannot begin to figure out 3rd circuit functions until
emotional and physical problems are solved"
Antero Alli, Angel Tech (p.48)

Third circuit often gets caught in a repetitive loop trying to rationalise and justify problems on my first and second circuits. When its had enough forming maps about "why i'm a no good shit" it gets depressed and stops doing anything. Victimhood becomes a predominant perspective, and all maps revolve around this.

However, assimilation of recent data and experience has enabled me to create a work-based grounding, or center. Maps then revolve around the work, which is by nature progressive rather than diminishing.

I am able to see the absurdity in conceptual maps and orientation and am able to laugh at the nonsense I often find myself taking seriously, and at the act of taking things seriously. "The Bullshit" no longer angers me, I inevitably find it too funny that "Bullshit" is what I have to work with, and that taking "bullshit" seriously is "bullshit" in itself.

Communication with Higher Circuits:
I have had a great time, at times, taking in information from what i identify as the 7th mytho-genetic circuit. With a diminished attachment to BS, I find that all concepts are equally valid (or they wouldn't exist) and part of a kaleidescope of "a whole". I have times when I stop identifying with particular ideas and enjoy the worlds spirals of form - every changing, ever-energetic. As such, I see God in everything and everyone, I see all the Gods dancing me before as if they we're the spokes of the bicyle wheel of the world.

To be blunt, I see things in the shape of a tree that some people will never see in a lifetime. Rather more precicely, I will myself to discern patterns and forms within an image. As this is a willed behaviour, it is not a disfunction such as schizophrenia. I can turn it on and off.

Malfunctions:
Over-Emphasis of Emotions - some emotions, such as aloneness, love, anger and fear have become so important in my life that they're all i can see - they obscure my relationship to the whole, to the bigger picture (Angel Tech).
Yinning Out - Terminal Mellowness induced by inability to feel safe enough to experience strong emotions.
Excessive Brain Pleasure - I woke up this morning with chocolate ice-cream on my hands. Also a tendency to get carried away and overwhelmed.

Negative Biases: Specific Emotional Over-Reactions, HyperSensitivities
Related to yinning out; a fear of conviction and commitment.

Dead-End State: Territorialism for the sake of territorialism
The biggest guns and the poorest people...
When 2nd circuit emotional issues become THE reality, I over-react to everything, everything feels painful, and I am overwhelmed by all my emotions. Alternatively, I live for emotional responses I prefer and become a "juive junky", looking to get high off an emotion as the purpose of life, and my greates reward.

Communication with 6th Circuit:
Somewhere along the line I was shocked into the realisation that I look at the world as some sort of Observer, and my emotional programmes are like the screen before a navigator. I realised that emotions wern't little gods in disguise who's spell I had no choice but to fall under, but background tracks to the cinematic experience of life.
It shocked me into realising security = limitation. By confining myself within certain accepted behaviours, and by becoming too defensive because of this, I realised that I was a prisoner of my emotions, and not directing, developing, savouring and transmitting them as i could.

Tension is the General State -- leading to specific effects:

Summary of Evaluation:
A degree of Inertia has set in on the 1st circuit, concerning "having no where to call home". This generates a rather large amount of tension - due to lack of funds and immersion in legal and administrative matters, I find it difficult to look after myself as well as I could.

There is also some 2nd circuit cross-over, in that sometimes my emotional reactions to issues of survival obscure the issue of survival itself.

Definition of 1st Circuit:
The intelligence, the function of the nervous system, dealing with matters of physiological, biological, comfort and safety.
Likes: Sleep, suckling, cuddling, touching, feeling, being felt, soft pillows, thick rugs, hot chocolate and jazz.
Dislikes: Unexpexted sudden movements and changes, seperation from source of comfourt, predatory vibrations, beds of nails and insurance brokers.

Source of Information - The physical environment, including the brain, body and Gaia.
Integration of Information - Seeking likes, avoiding dislikes, and dealing with the consquences.
Transmition of Information - Radiant ease and belonging.

Negative Biases:
Inherited - The world is inately threatening - you cannot find safety on your own, you have to trust those around you to show you the way and make it OK. Problem is, I'm not allowed to trust those around me either, at least I often don't trust their natures.
Learned - Early Conditioning: I am not as strong as everyone else, and my intelligence makes me a target for persecution. I am not as confident as everyone else.
Later: I am more awake than most people, take more risks and don't take authority at face value. Therefor I wont find a safe place amongst the sheeple.

Dead-End State:
A state historically known as Voodoo Death occurs when I spend too much time "living in the crisis". The more attention I give to failure, and inadequacy, the greater an influence they become - "What we resist persists".

Pain and Pleasure are the two primary concerns of first circuit biosurvival (in dimensional terms, forward and back are the two directions on which this circuit operates). When Pain becomes the main concern of life, we live life in pain. We begin to create self-fulfilling prophecies with pain at the core. We then struggle to ever find a safe place, as what we seek to avoid lives inside us.

Living for 1st Circuit Physical safety and comfourt can also lead to excess pleasure. This means that I could spend all my time eating, drinking and being merrily wasted and wake up in the morning fat, 50, with 8 children to feed and no wife.

Communication With 5th Circuit:
The 5th Circuit of Neurosomantic Rapture, of going with the flow, free-floating in peace, riding the crest of the wave, losing yourself to the moment, being any where and every where at once, having sensation as all that you need, has shocked my 1st circuit into realising that establishing a safe environment is actually quite simple, and that it can be acheived without trouble. In short, the 5th circuit shock of neurosomantic rapture, first induced by rigourous physical excertion, then Marijuana, then Sex, taught me that my brain and body are the source of 1st circuit safety/comfort and not the outside environment, or anyone else in it. I mother myself, and have learnt that I can trust anyone to be human.

With 5th Circuit intelligence, its like the difference between an uptight sober rabbit and a stoned rabbit in headlights - the sober rabbit tried to run away from the car in the same direction as the cars heading, inevitably getting squashed, or doesn't move resulting in the same squishing, while the stoned rabbit knows all it has to do is lie down between the wheels and let the car roll on over it.

It shocked me into realising that everything I needed was RIGHT HERE NOW, and in relentless searching for a place from which to "be" I was missing what lay right beneath my nose....Gaia!

Discussion: How Can Intelligence be Increased?

I have affected Intelligence Increase within myself my whole life. Being aware of the moment, of your movements within that moment, of your thoughts, your emotions, your interactions, and of how the moment affects you, this has been my most powerful tool when it comes to increasing intelligence.

Intelligence increase takes work - it takes endurance and determination.

To increase intelligence I must first define what I'm increasing, and how I'm increasing it. I must define my terms - my measurements, methods, aims and variables.

Using the 8 Circuit Model of the mind invented by Dr. Timothy Leary, I have aquired a model (a map) of my intelligence (the territory), and can begin to discern methods by which i will enhance intelligence. Each method will be specific to a particular Neural Circuit, as will the aim (although it is in general "enhance intelligence") and the variables involved.

To increase intelligence, I must first determine its limits, its capabilities, and its biases. I must determine the background to an intelligence, the data, associated behaviour and linguistic patterns, as well as its relevance to present day situations.

In order to do this I will define 1st-8th circuits, and individually determine the efficiency and function of each. Having done this, I should be able to identify specific areas of malfunction, impaired function and and areas of potential for elliciting change. Before modifying this Nervous System, I must give it an M.O.T.

Discussion: What is Intelligence?


I can broadly define Intelligence as the capacity to absorb information, integrate (organise and adapt to) information and transmit information in my own terms, conveying a clear intent and sensitivity to environment.



Dr. Timothy Leary coined the terms Set and Setting which I interpret as relating to two expressions of intelligence - internal and external information, or "data". The terms are historically related to drug experiences, but the principles behind this model are also present in psychological research such as that done one "Context Dependent Learning", and also has implications for fulfilling, rewarding, interactions with an environment recognised in theories such as Maslows Hierarchy of Needs.




Context Dependent Learning is based on the theory that information learned in one Setting, in one environment, is accessed through the Set (mood, thoughts, expectations etc) in which it was learnt. This means that if I am forced into a life-or-death situation while being mugged, I may not remember the information I learnt in my weekly martial arts class, due to fear and panic. If I am uncomfourtable during a written exam because i had been abducted by aliens and anally probed the night before, i may not be able to remember the material i revised while in a comfourtable arm chair.




I define intelligence as the capacity to absord information:
To discern my set in any setting, to discern my setting in any set, and to facilitate the co-extension of the two.
I define intelligence as the capacity to integrate information:
To adjust my set according to my setting, and vice versa, to adapt modes of behaviour to new information.
I define intelligence as the capacity to transmit information:
To act with intent in a setting from a self-defined set.




With set and setting in mind, I identify several key components to intelligence:
Data - models of psychology, philosophy, cake recipies, TV listings, religion etc.
Meaning - personal attachments to data - how data is valued.
Conscience - personal principles and rules of engagement, wisdom, relating to use of data. Data and Meaning applied to a situation.
Will/Intent - a conscious decision to engage with a set and setting in a specific manner, with a specific desired outcome.

Wisdom - No definition as yet..




In the words of Shakespeare, "The Law is an Ass", and like any other Ass it may be able to carry you somewhere, but it wont take you any where on its own. You have to take it by the reigns and steer it on a path. In the same way I see all data as a vehicle for intelligence and not as intelligence itself. The car is not the journey, the map is not the territory. In this sense, intelligence is the ability to determine a suitable map for a particular territory while maintaining awareness that the territory changes. Intelligence is equivalent to the flexibility of my map, and to the capacity to act with intent and integrity in the face of change.




In this sense, Christianity isn't going to solve the worlds problems or my own, Therapy isn't going to cure me or the world, the Labor Party isn't going to give me lower tax's and a better house, and the Delai Lama isn't going to show me or the world the way to enlightenment - I am. Through absorbing the information contained in these systems, models and persons, integrating them and organising a map of "the road to enlightenment from point A, right where i'm sitting now", and then transmitting that information with intent and sensitivity in order to form a co-extensive (rather than Co-Dependent) relationship with the world, herafter refered to as Gaia.
