Buckminster Fuller - Everthing I Know

Buckminster Fuller is seldom heard of when talking about human inovation, yet he developed some of the most fundamental concepts on geometry for us to understand the greater concept of the amazing universe around us. "The more I find out the less I know" This 159 video playlist will blow your fucking mind, yes there are some boring bits, but the gems of information inbetween are timless.

One thing he introduced to me is tensegrity design. I was in Christchurch, New Zealand when i was watching the video on tensegrity, when one major earthquake hit. And it struck me, the true tragedy is not the human loss during natural events like that, the true tragedy is the failure to intergrate our human designs to move and flow with the earth which is a non permenant structure. maybe one day we will listen to the old masters and start to work with the earth rather than against it. 
Below is a Tensegrity design i made from inspiration in the video above. These structures have some interesting properties that if you want to find out you should make your own one ;)

The Mindscape of Alan Moore

Alan Moore, creator of "The Watchmen' "Swamp Thing" V for Vendetta" and more, discusses his life and the magic shamanistic alchemical view of art. I find is intersting 3 of my favorite Story Tellers all arrive at the same conclusion as i have on my own journey, Alan Moore, Orson Wells, Terrence Mckenna all speak or art as alchemy, art as magic, art as the ultimate trans-formative tool.

Creativity and Chaos

Trialogue between Terence McKenna, Ralph Abraham, and Rupert Sheldrake.

'The chaos revolution, chaotic attractors and indeterminism in nature. The emergence of form from the field of chaos. The formative process in cooling. Is the mathematical realm of the world soul in co-evolution with ordinary reality? The potential of mathematics to aid us in our own evolution by extending our language for dealing with complex systems. Visual intuitions and the Butterfly Effect.

The idea of an attractor for the entire cosmic evolutionary process. The role of the attractor in chaos dynamics. Motivation and attraction. The value of spoken language. Mathematical modelling. The relationship between mathematical models with chaotic behaviour and the chaos in life. Idolatry and models becoming reality. The feminine aspect of creativity.'

Trialogues at the Edge of the Millenium

Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham Edited video recordings of the three trialogues share their theories, ideas and observations in a public event in Santa Cruz, June 6, 1998. Trialogues are a unique form of intellectual performance in which three people, optimally very different, discuss (or debate) a set topic for a fixed period of time. Sheldrake, McKenna, and Abraham have been in trialogue as friends since 1982, in public since since 1989. Here they discuss grassroots sciences, visual math, biogeography, the world wide web, psychic pets, fractals, the structure of time, the celestial sphere, the millennium, the holistic vision and the Evolutionary Mind.

There are 3 videos, below is the first hour, ill trust you can find the other 2 tapes. Mind blowing stuff! Also interesting to see this was shot in 1998 and to listen their proposed foresight's of what will happen with the new millennium post 2000 considering we are a decade into it.

Terence McKenna - Prague Gnosis

Some heavy hitting stuff from Terence here. Definitely a mouth full of words to google their definition but i expect nothing less from McKenna. Terence travels to Prague and discusses with some top people in their field on various topics of, Neo-Shamanism, UFO phenomenon, Philosophical reflections on the revolutions in the 60's and 70's, Morphogenetic Fields and more.



Some excellent quotes from this video

"If the Truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed."

"Alchemy is the culminating metaphor of the search for union between spirit and matter."

"Mysteries are there for exploration, not explanation"

Terence McKenna

Terence McKenna (1946 - 2000)

Terence McKenna was a writer, philosopher , and ethnobotanist. He was noted for his many speculations on the use of psychedelic, plant-based hallucinogens and subjects ranging from shamanism, the development of human consciousness, and novelty theory.

One of McKenna's most widely-promulgated ideas is known as Novelty theory. It predicts the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. McKenna developed the theory in the mid-1970s after his experiences in the Amazon at La Chorrera led him to closely study the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching. Novelty theory involves ontology, extropy, and eschatology.

The theory proposes that the universe is an engine designed for the production and conservation of novelty. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, or extropy (a term coined by Max More meaning the opposite of entropy). According to McKenna, when novelty is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as "timewave zero" or simply the "timewave" results. The graph shows at what time periods, but never at what locations, novelty increases or decreases.

Considered by some to represent a model of history's most important events, the universal algorithm has also been extrapolated to be a model for future events. McKenna admitted to the expectation of a "singularity of novelty", and that he and his colleagues projected many hundreds of years into the future to find when this singularity (runaway "newness" or extropy) could occur. The graph of extropy had many enormous fluctuations over the last 25,000 years, but amazingly, it hit an asymptote at exactly December 22, 2012. In other words, entropy (or habituation) no longer exists after that date. It is impossible to define that state. The technological singularity concept parallels this, only at a date roughly three decades later. According to leading expert Ray Kurzweil), another concept called cultural singularity (essentially cultural dissolution, or language dissolution), parallels this as well. Terrence claimed to have no knowledge of the Mayan calendar, which ends one day before the Timewave graph does: December 21, 2012, this is likely to be true as Mckennas timewave theory was published in The Invisible Landscape 12 years before the book which brought the Mayan calendar into public consciousness.

Talmud of Jmmanuel

The "Talmud of Jmmanuel" is the English translation of an ancient Aramaic script, discovered in 1963 in a cave near Jerusalem. The ancient scrolls, written by Judas Iscariot, the disciple of Jmmanuel, had been encased in tree resin and buried for almost two millennia before being unearthed by Isa Rashid, a Lebanese priest of the Greek Orthodox church, and by "Billy" Eduard Albert Meier, a New Age prophet educated by wise celestial teachers from the Pleiades star cluster. The discoverers of the scrolls have since been persecuted by Christian and Jewish orthodox groups and by political shadow governments. Rashid, who had been entrusted with the original scrolls for safekeeping and translation from Aramaic to German, had to flee from Jerusalem to Lebanon to evade his persecutors, who were intent on silencing him and destroying the scrolls. The scrolls were burned and lost in an Israeli air raid on a Lebanese refugee camp in 1974. Rashid and his family escaped, but were assassinated in Baghdad shortly thereafter. A quarter of the original script had been translated into German by then and had been mailed to Billy Meier in Switzerland. Meier edited and published the German version of the "Talmud Jmmanuel" in 1975. So far, Billy Meier has survived more than a dozen attempts on his life.

The portion of the ancient script that was saved runs parallel to the gospel of St. Matthew and appears to be its source document. The philosophical contents of the teachings of Jmmanuel, however, deviate significantly from the severely redacted version in the biblical text. James Deardorff, professor emeritus from the Oregon State University, is a stout proponent for the authenticity of the 1963 archaeological find of the Aramaic scrolls, and has spent the last 16 years studying and carefully comparing its text with the biblical scriptures. He found overwhelming evidence that the writer of the Gospel of Matthew "used and altered the Talmud to suit his theology, making changes, insertions and omissions, in a manner that precludes reversing the arguments to claim a literary hoax." Professor Deardorff also found ample evidence that the Talmud's German translation derived directly from an Aramaic source, in support of Meier's first-hand witness testimony.

When Dr. Dietmar Rothe, a physicist and engineer, first came across a copy of the Talmud of Jmmanuel (TJ) in 1996, he immediately recognized the great philosophical and spiritual value in the wisdom contained in the teachings of Jmmanuel, most of which are not in the Bible, others only in distorted form. Being fluent in German and English, he also found that the English version of the TJ’s second edition needed revisions in many places to bring out the true meaning contained in this wisdom. Over the next four years, he spent many hours in collaboration with Heidi Peters (who consulted with Billy Meier on the meaning of difficult German passages) and Prof. James Deardorff to make the English text conform accurately with the original.
