my mind begins to hum...

[mayavin]

cyberhermitage...

DTI measurement of a human brain:

[mayavin]

but what is this "missing"?

a fond recollection of perceivedness is complete in and of itself...

is there a desire that things be other then they are, such as 'him here'?

[mayavin]

perhaps you're experiencing a differential in this part of the brain:


A mirror neuron is a premotor neuron which fires both when an animal acts
and when the animal observes the same action performed
by another (especially conspecific) animal.
Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of another animal,
as though the observer were itself acting.

though i'm not sure how exactly the contextualized format of the intermediary
might play out; inferring transference

[mayavin]

hey....

..wanna feel tall?

[Teo del Fuego]

cyberhermitage...

or cyberhybernation?

[mayavin]

is name more than social-linguistic courtesy;
and the extent to which soul's expressability;
what do you have when you've left yourself behind?

[mayavin]

cyberhybernation

depending how and where you look, the poster is readily revealed

yet perhaps from this vantage point: walled in

thus like hermitage, is sealed

[mayavin]

if several Sheikh, finding anew within old
rediscover the moon, rediscover the soul
the boldness of bird
the birdness of bold
when seven catch won, full now(ness) gird

they've ever yet to know the truth of me
~and likely themself

[Teo del Fuego]

is name more than social-linguistic courtesy;
and the extent to which soul's expressability;
what do you have when you've left yourself behind?

The poetry editor of the New Yorker responds:

As a query: 1. Yes. 2. This is a sentence fragment not containing a complete thought. 3. It depends on the context of "left yourself behind."

As a poem: This contains interesting language and ideas struggling in the absence of a coherent structure. Semicolons are ill-advised and the link between the first and third lines is broken by the meaningless second line.

Have you tried to hone your skills in verse? You do have talent.

[mayavin]

ahh...

but how much more could desert city ethos be cheered on
than to inverse the transition (between the haphazard structure of the economic default realm, an epicenter sprawled from,
to the thoughtful construct under the deserted gaze of mountains,)
than to chuck structure formed of convention

chunky raw thoughtforms reticent to commodification?...

that you use a word derived from a money reference is interesting...

Originally an ancient unit of weight or money (varying greatly and attested in O.E. as talente)

the ability or aptitude i consider honed through this: actionable access to the heart of catharsis...


currently it seems that to apply the talent towards riches would be to alloy the endeavor of refining the cathartic experience to include all bubblings of memory

my current thesis is that solid state catharsis, if such a thing could exist, is the most direct foundation attainable to transfigure from (psychosis evolution, if you will)

hmmmm, I'll need to be more mindful of my etymology when using common words. Im so not about mnoney, otherwise I wouldnt be typing now. Actually, knowing somehting about etymology, as you obviously do, tends to enrich one's experience of language. For example: Prostitution means in Latin somehting like "the act of standing between." this comes from the days of the Colliseum when working women would lean against the columns supporting the arches that ringed the Colliseum. I cannot now hear that word without seeing an ancient whore in my mind. I cannot see a row of arches without wondering where the prostitutes have gone. Lobbyist reminds me of men in suits lurking underneath Capitolian arches.

Anyhoo, I liked the avatar for Fire Elf. It was whimsical and endearing.

Did you paint the art peice that accompanies Mayavin's posts?

[mayavin]

altered obtainium... like soo much else in this world of energy lawfully conserved...

endearing whimsy aside, i find the visualization of red meets blue in alienation symbolically superior rhetoric, and lately i'm inclined to embrace a feeling of right eye's perception colored with left unadulterated... not to mention the space/star personified sensation

seems a bit spurious that you suggest you cannot hear without seeing, and cannot see without wondering...

have you ever dreamed without moving?

Oh, I get it: red + blue makes purple (at least with pigments), and mayvin's avatar is purple, has a thing over its right eye and looks like its from the stars.

Inability to hear without seeing: Not as spurious as gratuitous verbal obfuscation. For example: If I read to you the following letters: lfgtusrtkpck
and asked you to repeat them back to me 60 seconds later you could not. If I asked you to repeat back the sequence of letters that were: t-o-t-a-l-i-t-a-r-i-a-n-i-s-m you'd nail it. the only reason for success with the latter sequence is because you saw the word "totalitarian" in your mind when you heard the letters.

The senses are not walled off from each other and everything moves, just on different scales.

So, you did not paint the Garden of Eden picture.

[Teo del Fuego]

aum satyavin maya
shuffled sanskrit, no doubt
speaks of power & wisdom
generated inside to out

mayavin rules of magic
reconfigured to suit deeds
in modern twisted eden
choked with human weeds

anti-human, i am not
yet soo many choose
obstruction of my path

[Teo del Fuego]

but what is this "missing"?

a fond recollection of perceivedness is complete in and of itself...

is there a desire that things be other then they are, such as 'him here'?

But a complete recollection does not equate with a complete reality unless one is deeply into the Copenhagen Interpretation.

to be sentient is to have desire

[mayavin]

nay, good sir...
eden did not come about by my hand...

yet i did alter it to impart personal significance, much like you've come to this site, accepting the background scheme you have, & the archaic symbols you signify

though i must admit to tossing out mere interpretation, as you seemed ready to provoke something intelligible... you surely got something...

obfuscÄ

[mayavin]

and what is it you desire?

[the fire elf]

anemic cultural stratification?

[the fire elf]

verbal obfuscation, perhaps the most prevalent of types, is tending towards dichotomy of relatedness...

For Example: to clearly present the situation in understandable terms, why truncate an enormity of useful nuance, thus creating a dialogue more bereft of understanding than otherwise possible, through selecting oversimplistic terms to create the tone of realism/solidity?:

If I am persuaded to go along with your purposes without any explicit threat or exchange taking place — in short, if my behavior is determined by an observable but intangible attraction — soft power is at work. Soft power uses a different type of currency — not force, not money — to engender cooperation. It uses an attraction to shared values, and the justness and duty of contributing to the achievement of those values.

Hard Power is the power which comes from using military and economic means to influence the behaviour or interests

on one end of a vision, or on the other... if there is collective mind, or a manifestation potentiate, the lines become hazy in who called what forth and which belongs to whom... reality is a simultaneous consortium, 360^3, not to mention energetics

why latch on to one little concept and play 'who spoon feeds who what'?

[mayavin]

Yeah!!!! The Fire Elf came back!

Nice sculpture there Robert

[the fire elf]

is a work assignment ever anything but a work assignment?

As a kid-nerd in the late 60's, I had a huge crush on Jane Goodall. I was the sort of kid who hid under the covers with a flashlight looking at the maps in National Geographic. Jane was on a old cover from 1965 and first stole my heart then. I dreamed of being a chimpanzee in the wild "grooming" Ms. Goodall.

[Ugly Dougly]

National Geographic had plenty of pictures for young boys to enjoy.

[the fire elf]

edited visions with given hearts, '83 the survivors hit me at the highly impressionable moment

i'll like to never find a reality of the red haired vixen...

reality in still shot, or moving fiction... interesting dynamic structure
and i can hardly image impress dynamics these days...

Physiognomy (Gk. physis, nature and gnomon, judge, interpreter)

Zarathustra first announces the Ãœbermensch as a goal humanity can set for itself.

Nietzsche associates the Ãœbermensch with a program of eugenics.
This aspect of Nietzsche's doctrine focuses more on the future of humanity than on a single cataclysmic individual.

The comic-book hero Superman was originally a villain modeled on Nietzsche's idea. He was re-invented as a hero, though still one with a dubious morality. Only as the series progressed did Superman become the wholesome, all-American boy from the Midwest, who just happened to possess immeasurable powers.
