The Trancemancer – Time Travel
“Time-travel is a staple of science fiction stories, about visiting the past or rewriting the past or of catching a glimpse of the future.” “What’s remarkable about time travel is how commonplace it really is. Every day we visit our past, we just call it a more mundane name, memory. Every day we imagine possible futures. And just like in science fiction, this mental time problem shapes our present.” “…They can’t make the past disappear.” “Turning the past into stories is part of constructing the narrative of identity that helps us make sense of who we are and creates the meaning that looks back on the past, entertainment or redemption.”
The Trancemancer – Soul Reveal
“There are also hallucinations as well, and hallucinations are completely different. They don’t seem to be of our creation. They don’t seem to be under our control. They seem to come from the outside, and to mimic perception. So I am going to be talking about hallucinations and a particular sort of visual hallucination.” “I said, Is this like a dream? And she said, No, it’s not like a dream. It’s like a movie. She said, It’s got color. It’s got motion. But it’s completely silent, like a silent movie. And she said it’s a rather boring movie.” “I went in to see her. It was evident straightaway that she was perfectly sane and lucid and of good intelligence, but she’d been very startled and very bewildered, because she’d been seeing things. Perfectly sane. She had no medical problems. She wasn’t on any medications which could produce hallucinations.” “Finally, I think they are infinitely interesting and valuable, for giving one some insight as to how the brain works. People, come on.” “Thinking of these hallucinations, how, as he put it, the theater of the mind could be generated by the machinery of the brain.”

Tetrameth – Cosmos
Let’s close our eyes. Allow yourself to hear and understand, but also see and experience as we share the unfolding of the order and structure of the cosmos. And as we sit here at this beautiful spot on earth, let us begin to center within ourselves. Now take some deep breaths of this pure of light-filled air, and allow your diaphragm to expand as you do in halo. Then, exhale full. See your entire mind and body being filled with light and energy around us.” “In your body. And being swept away. And cleansed by the infinite wisdoms of Mother Earth. Infinite wisdom. Let’s soothe ourselves in all stresses and all negativity in your mind. Release yourself for any limitations, for negativity. Feel yourself breathing… breathing… with Mother Earth. I will somehow sketch the end as we exhale.” “And that is when I had one of the most beautiful and incredible experiences of my life. Suddenly I was no longer a teenager in high school. Suddenly I was everything. I became the entire universe. There was this moment where there was no more me. Just this wave of eternal consciousness. The kind of never ending love field that exists through all things.” “Let’s close our eyes, allow yourself to hear and understand as we share the unfolding of the order and structure of cosmos.”
