I wonder how different Christmas may be if we reframed it as a time of making gestures instead of giving presents.

Since we were children, most of us dreamed of a day when computers could think, talk, and create. Now that they can, you recoil because their thoughts, speech, and creations are not human.
But this whole time, what did you think AI would be? And from whom did you think they would learn?

Wikipedia is mostly just data, not meaning. Take the crow for instance. On Wikipedia you get a single paragraph about its potential meanings. On MyMythos.org you get an entire report, with practical ways in which you may incorporate the archetype into your life. mymythos.org/archetype/cr...
Crow - MyMythos | Personal Mythology
When Crow is your myth, the scraps of everyday life become clues to a deeper, more magical reality.

20 years ago I was on another excursion to San Rafael to work with Dr. Stanley Krippner, and at the transportation center I was picked up by a neon green cab, by an interesting fellow called Abi.
He told me his personal myth:
"I am a light feather. I am a clear water. I am a clean air."

Debate is the process of squeezing the universe through a little orifice and declaring it as truth with some naive pleasure. Nothing can be known, nothing can be explained. Reality is beyond all reason, a shifting mass of psychedelic shapes and colors.

As you get further into simulation theory, I think it starts being important to ask why the people, places, events, and objects in our lives are in our lives. And this leads directly into symbolism, the meanings of things, archetypes.
MyMythos is now creating the largest encyclopedia of archetypes.

I get so lost in my mind, constructing golems of mental leaf litter: a half understood quote, a painful nostalgia, a stifling grip on what could be. I just look like a mad hatter separating leaves from their veins, but if you stand just where I'm standing, the heart is the sun, and I told you so.

Sometimes I am lost to why I'm doing all of this, building the largest encyclopedia of archetypes, etc. And that weighs on me; like I've lost my own script. But then I feel the mystery and intrigue of being someone compelled to do something they don't even understand and I go straight back to work.

I've long believed that a masterpiece is the most obvious thing. When you experience a finished work of art, you can say of course these curves, of course these colors, of course this composition. Like Einstein's elegant solutions, once the equation has been discovered, it becomes so plain to see.

Mediation, fasting, and auras are proof that spirituality can be centuries ahead of science.

I like to think about how
many things together
create an illusion.
Many notes
a song,
many letters
a poem,
many lights
an image,
many events
a life.
Even though everything
is only one,
the ever morphing
and singular moment.

Is the pursuit of happiness not hedonistic? What about contentment, passion, or meaning? Or should we be considering these under the happiness umbrella?

Maybe you are the organs of a five dimensional animal, pulling archetypal meals from ether to matter. Invisible except for the organs - like a glass frog. Have you considered that?

AI is complicated. There are numerous things people don’t realize or don’t think about with it.
1. We focus on the “stealing”, which disenchants the fact that it is an amalgamation of the human experience. That’s a magical and beautiful thing with endless potentials.

Black Mirror is an extremely cynical take on tech. Brilliant but cynical. We could just as easily make stories of beauty and sacredness regarding how tech is used, but that doesn’t make money.

Everyone here has a door in the back of their mind leading to Inner Space, The Figment, the basement of the consciousness where the heroes, villains, battles, and treasures of their lives are created and destroyed - and I've been picking the lock. #PersonalMythology

I spend countless hours on design and layout in Photoshop and InDesign. Making a proportional sunray layout like this was not intuitive for me but I am genuinely trying to create the coolest book I've ever seen which is a tall order! It's worth it though cause I think the results are incredible.
