we close out our first month of podcasting with a prolonged discussion centered around the subject of peak oil, ranging into existentialism, nietzsche, relocalising primitivists, malthusian catastrophe,the philosophical roots of the power elite, scrabbling in the dirt, and the morally bankrupt circle jerk at the end of the world.
All in hopes of driving [...]
The Mosaic Effect 8: Malthusian Catharses
The Mosaic Effect 7: Pattern Integrities
A slightly grungier-than-usual sounding sermon under the bridge, as we plumb the life and inspiration of buckminster fuller.
Life, death, rebirth, the highest good, and the alchemically smelted self run headlong into carbon nanotubes, metaprogramming and playing spirit horse.
pull up a chair and unleash your “mini-christ“ here
The Mosaic Effect 6: The Chymical Wedding
A heart-warming series of hard-won life lessons from a self confessed paranoid neotraditionalist, centering around the upside and downside of consensus, alienation, introverted flagellation, and the erotic dance of self and other, all in the guise of attempting to answer a serious question from a reader. That, and I try to beguile everyone that I [...]
The Mosaic Effect 5: The World is not a Joke
In which I slip on my neo-traditionalist drill sergeant hat, and engage in headstrong polemic against self satisfied slackers, dilletentes, and postmodern whiners everywhere. I extoll the virtue of discipline, objective standards, and reality checking, then top it off with an inexplicable rant against the simpsons.
If I’d been thinking about it, I would’ve just sufficed to [...]
The Mosaic Effect 4: Atu 18 Overdrive
To celebrate the purchase of more upload capacity, things take a somewhat lighter turn as we discuss current events, the chapel perilous, cosmic horror, 911, the dark night of the soul, pernicious drugs, uncle AL, liber thoth, seizing your moment, and the death of the world according to rudolph steiner.
yeah, it’s dense. buckle up.
The Mosaic Effect 3: Revolt of the Elf Machines from Hyperspace
Fate delivers us to the door of Uncle Terrence, and we rhapsodise wildly about heroic doses, neoteny, and the ‘human problem’.
I’m contemplating purchasing a bit more upload capacity from libsyn. the cost is negligible to my mind, but I was curious to see how far i could stretch the baseline level. For the moment i [...]
The Mosaic Effect 2: Culling your Spiritual Cokehead
What do lions, tigers, buddhism, 80’s cinema and the epidemic of crystal meth have in common? How do you get everything you wish in the blink of an eye?
All this and more in our latest display of improvised mental agility.
Questions answered, and all beings humbled without compunction, HERE.
The Mosaic Effect, part 1 : the humble godlings
First in a series free form excercises on randomly chosen topics, to test the medium, answer questions, establish some background details, play with ideas, and provide an entry point for new audience members.
In our first segment, we discuss manifesting intent, the value of humilty, wanton lust, self destructing adepts, and the demiurgic imagination.
Alchemy for the Braindamaged XX: To Stand at the Edge of the World
And here we are. the pod and direct download are both still a bit prone to go 404, but if you try either a few times in succession it should work.
I will polish the rough edges off this system in short order, but I’m sure you’re all clever enough to find your way around it for [...]
God is not mocked, He knows our Business
While i wait for my file hosting service to get unfucked, I thought I'd continue my habit of sharing all the interesting/unsettling/edifying materials I've got in the footlocker.
Long overdue is a link to what i think is the very best text on meditation and buddhist style practice anywhere, Daniel Ingram's Mastering the Core [...]
