Flesh

Shrouded, caked, sheathed.

Out.

I am clarified in a chosen direction, thanks to a brief conversation with oletheros.

So do me the following favour, and tell me if you understand the following:

'I want to use the tools of communication at the disposal of all sentient creatures, to understand, enhance, and mutaully manipulate the levels of symbollic resonance, interpretation and interaction with the physical world. I want to change the way people understand the connection between thought, conception, belief, action, and effect. I believe that it will make people more powerful and capable, in their day-to-day lives, more willing to investigate, create, and experience patterns of "coincidence" or "synchronicity." I believe that the process of careful teaching and learning, in this area, will engender a wider sense of responsibility for the self, for personal actions and the effects of those actions on the wider reality.

'This will not eliminate "evil." This will not even eliminate stupidity. What it will do is work to make sure that everyone you meet has thought through their actions, has investigated what it will do to them, and to the rest of us, and that they have made their choice with those considerations, in mind.'

Now. What don't you understand about that? That's not an ironic question where what I really mean is, "This should be obvious." That's me asking what you don't understand.

Many people have said to me, in the past few months, that my ideas aren't clear, or that they are very dense, or that I am hypocritical in their presentation. Now, while I'm willing to admit that people are often full of shit, and have no idea what they're talking about, I also don't like to disregard any point of view without seeking to understand the thing that causes it. So i want to know: Do you understand what I'm trying to do, with magic, perception, technology, philosophy, language, all of it?

What is it that you think I'm trying to get done? I'd really like to hear it.

And, as an indulgence I've been meaning to steal, for some time, now, fill out the following:

N.A.S.A. - [Spacious Thoughts (feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith)]----SECTION I MANUFACTURER'S INFORMATION

SECTION II HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS / IDENTITY INFORMATION

Joe Boyd Vigil - [Crashgroove]---SECTION III PHYSICAL / CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS

SECTION IV FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

SECTION V REACTIVITY DATA

SECTION VI HEALTH HAZARD DATA

SECTION VII PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE

SECTION VIII CONTROL MEASURES

SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

This is what is commonly known as a "MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET."

Portishead - [We Carry On]--- Here is one I found years ago. Surprise.

Anyway. Thanks.
