A Pathetic Human Being -- on epiphanies...

It simply was a depressing time. He simply was a pathetic human being. The self-realization was compact, direct and… simple. It was as if he himself brought to his presence a wonderful and tightly wrapped package.
So in his own reality he created a scenario:
The contents were singular. In the package was a Yak Bak. This antiquated ancient artifact added a retrospective element to his experience. He knew what it was. It was an emblem of innocence. It was one tightly wound and deep reaching symbol but the referent was not easily defined.
This creature, being graced with an infinite capability for inner-reality scenario creation did not take long to arrange the scenario in which this Yak Bak was created and for what it was destined.
[[[ A moment to explain the importance of ‘inner-reality scenario creation’ (termed as such for lack of better symbols). As a pathetic human being that spends the majority of time drawn inward and in solitary presence it is quite difficult to be convinced by outward sources and inward reflection that the scenarios created in the mind are less of a reality than that which is experienced in the physical realm in which we all assume we participate. One self-aware that they are subject to such a tendency must consciously convince and remind oneself that a scenario (complete with actors from their physical reality, actions, idea exchanges, dialogue, etc.) created in their mind was nothing more than an scenario experienced in their inner reality. They must remind themselves that the actors in their inner reality that match actors in the physical reality in appearance and name are not necessarily co-dependent. One cannot hold resentment for a peer in the physical reality for the actions they performed in the inner reality. For some a meditative and conscious practice is needed to harness and control this. Some have no control. Some are not aware. Some do not care. Many do not compartmentalize and all realities blur into one mesh. We will not speak to the ethics, what should or shouldn’t be, nor of the consequences… it is how it occurs. ]]]
Knowing the Yak Bak’s origins he was hesitant to push the ‘play’ button being fearful of what he himself had recorded for he himself to hear. He knew the actors in all realities represented one referent that shared all the same information. But lost in his own network he could not seem to find the memory among his countless libraries. He could not find the memory, a caveat, to prepare himself for a more than likely epiphany. Perhaps this is more than likely as he programmed it. Planned it. Formed and molded what was to be.
He feared epiphanies. He feared the existence outside of time. He feared the moment that could not exactly be defined as a moment. Better said, it was an idea without form. He feared the form he must place following the epiphany. As with any great ‘ah-hah!’ there came the come down in which confrontation of the self and others were necessary. There came the pain of growing and changing. The pain of adapting. The unraveling of what the idea meant and was meant to be; how it played out in his realities. Fear, pain, unknowns… “Better it be me,” he thought, “for I am truly addicted to functioning outside of my first reality.” Addicted to fear, or rather, the beautiful consequences of confronting a fear, he finally pushed ‘play’.
He heard a voice of a child. He knew it to be he.
…. “You are to enter a great War. There will be a tearing of realities and the soldiers of the future will not firing weapons but typing. Ideas will be your weapons and practice in alternative realities. Be comfortable being adaptive and perform actions mentally, digitally and physically. Last of all, stop being a pathetic human being” ….
He had closed his eyes as he listened and was willingly, dutifully and intentionally existing in the margins of realities. Time became an elementary concept. He was again wandering in an epiphany. At once, from his center, simultaneously gazing and studying every reality. With every perspective he took in the details while keeping the forest for the trees. Then the rush of epiphany awakened every component and he was ready.
It had been too long since he was not the pathetic human being. It had been too long that he allowed the actions of others in a single physical reality rule and victimize his story. Ready he was and ready he is to jump in as a cog in a machine, a universe among universes ready to function as one complete being and fix these ruptures and cancer in our realities.

Treading Matter



It’s taken a load of concentration ….
or rather, no, quite the contrary.
I have gone inward and blown the fog thereto 
gathered, clumped, and lumped → the lot of all that has
clogged me ← and purged it thenceforth.



— then below I could tread
where-from I observe the whole 

(known Universe) 

and clearly see the mycelia networks …
— now I can connect the structures
of me, by me, about me, with me, from me, to me, not me, 
micro to macro 
the referent remains the same
being that → buried beneath the many constructions we are apt to find each other intertwined only with deep matter. All from everywhere all in somewhere all … all. 
Come tread Matter with me.

Dear Family: Don’t bury me!!! -- Why I don’t want a graveyard

I’m only 29 and this subject has long been on my mind… how I lay to rest. For my age and experience it seems a bit cryptic. It is. Regardless, when I pass:
Dear Family and Friends, 
I don’t have many phobias, but being buried alive seems to be the only one I can identify. Waking up and being caged and then screaming and scratching and scratching and scratching… until you really die. Truly, it’s not really the being buried alive part but being buried in a box. It’s our contemporary burial process that just doesn’t feel right. Pumped full of chemicals, dressed in our Sunday best… it’s creepy. It’s damn creepy. Again, it just stems back to the “it just doesn’t seem right” thing for me, i.e. it’s not natural.
I’ve always just wanted to die with the boots on, as they say. It could be an accident and I go quick but if my life is to drag out and I am nearing death to the point where I am to die in a bed I say, “fuccckkkk that, I’m going on a never returning walkabout. If you want to remember me put a gravestone in the yard, peace.”
One day, when preparing a lesson for a class, I came across this video: Jae Rhim Lee: My mushroom burial suit
The gears in my head started to spin and, “Wow”, I thought, “this is actually possible”. I go on my walkabout lay to rest and quick decomposition takes place. I’m no poison to the earth but, rather, quick the refreshing intake. 
 Neil deGrasse Tyson put it best when he rebutted an odd inquiry (go to minute 1:12:01) asking what he would request at his time of execution: “ I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime” ….
Now that feels natural. That feels right. That I can be at peace with considering how I will remain “ Requiescat in pace”. Thing is, I don’t want to be a dirty meal. I’d like to be gourmet. I enjoyed the loin of the deer my family hunts and the potatoes, tomatoes, etc. that we grow in our garden. I would like to be a delightful meal but with all these toxins currently in my system and then the embalming toxins that just isn’t possibly. Luckily, Jae Rhim Lee presents an ingenious solution for that. 
So don’t stand in the way of my walkabout in my mushroom burial suit. I’m going into the mountains and I’m not coming out. Don’t delay my cosmic journey with chemical embalming and lacker covered coffins. My energies and content are going to be dispersed properly in this life cycle — the thought pleases me so. 
Love, 
Draegohn Kihn

Stop Watching Us -- articles/photos/vids

Stop Watching Us action on Oct. 26, 2013
It was exciting.  It did much to draw attention to the fact that the NSA and affiliated programs are a form of censorship.  When we know someone is watching and thereby are afraid to speak our political minds, this is censorship.  It imposes on our Freedom of Speech, the 4th Amendment, and our right to not fear our government.  The question remains, what direct actions and alternatives will this protest spark?  I'm getting excited again for our future.  

For those of you that missed it...

SuckIt NSA: My encryption coming-out party

Dear NSA and affiliates,
I am no longer hiding from you.  I am demanding you dismantle your unjustified surveillance.  I am telling you to go away.  I will no longer encrypt my activities because I fear using my right to free speech.  I am no longer afraid of Big Brother, because Big Brother must and will go.  Here I am... fuck you.
Best regards,
me.
---->
 
I have long functioned with the assistance of VPN services and also TOR in order to protect my privacy and not help institutions in our Surveillance State conglomerate my identity and participation in activist events, movement culture, radical politics all into one cute package.  Basically, I encrypted my movements because I did not, with the knowledge that the NSA and affiliates DO spy, want that to stop me from practicing free speech.  The knowledge that one is watching you does effect to what degree you are going to be honest with the current going-ons in our corrupt governments, corporations, police forces, military, etc etc. etc.
This week I have decided to have my encryption coming-out party.  No longer am I going to fly underneath the radar and guise my Twitter handles, blogs, emails and other accounts.  Not that I am even completely sure my VPN and Tor protected that in the first place.  Basically, I'm saying, "Fuck you NSA, here I am, you want my identity then have it!".
Now let me explain something else in addition to that.  I have promised myself that I will continue to unabashedly participate just as much as I previously had done with encryption protection.  I understand the necessity for others to continue encrypting their activity ...this is just a personal decision for me.  The greatest power of coercive governments and institutions is 'Fear', and that fear for me has been hiding and not connecting all the beliefs I have placed in cyber reality with the singular individual I am in physical reality.  I just want to figuratively stand up on the internet and say to the Surveillance State, "It's only a matter of time before the world dismantles your corporately interested spy engines."

a short preview of something


 an slice of pie from an ongoing project (fiction). Please leave suggestions, etc. in comments.  I would love some constructive criticism.    ------->>>>>>>>>
Day ?: I met an interesting character today.  One who seemed to have short-wired… experienced permanent damage to the neurological design.   Often though I find glimpses of genius in such characters.  This individual constantly repeated phrases related to mycelia networks.  Naturally I was intrigued being that I contain a huge amount of interest in mycelia structures.  Easy to observe in the Fungi Kingdom, human-made technological structures, the brain, summarized perspectives of the Universe, etc. but more difficult to observe in mobile and sentient organisms here on Earth. 
I believe this man is able to perceive the mycelia networks not transparent in the 3-D reality similar to how we frequently only observe the fruit of the Fungi mycelium network and do not take the time to consider the much larger complex structure that lies below the soils surface.  This is just my hope and I feel it is supported by what most consider rants of a homeless madman.  But if one would take the time to sit with a homeless "madman" and learn their coding and vernacular as best as one could they may begin to appreciate the insights from a mad mind… they run ever so deep, ever deep.  Yes, I think I shall return.   
It also made me regret not bringing my personalized mushroom burial suit, what if I am not to return from this journey?  I would appreciate to be buried with my spores, I should be sure and motivated to return home for the suit.

Day ?: He has passed to me in-outward-in foci … it makes sense.  It is as if the exercise was previous muscle in my mind and he merely awakened and massaged that muscle.  The memory was there but I was not aware of it's presence.  I only needed the catalyst to respark the processes.  The mycelium pattern replicated throughout the Universe, from micro to macro (the Universe measured as 'one unit'), is one hell of a ride.  To trace the pattern in all known areas and to perceive that in my mind's eye is an exercise that seems to help me perceive all the ecosystems in which I participate as they exist not only in the 3D but as they exist in all dimensions.  It's as if I'm, literally, beginning to see things that could have only always been there but to which I have remained blind. 

Day ?: I fear that these exercises come with a price. It's not only that I now can clearly understand the short-wired character's rants as cognitive connected ideas; I think I may also be hallucinating to the point where I see physical manifestations of ideas I once considered only were delusional thoughts coming from the associate.
The exercises he considers the ability to access something he calls, 'Kaza'. I do not where he learned this term or if it has is just a sign he constructed from his own mind. I cannot argue with the referent of said sign… it is as if through the practices I truly tap into a power (for lack of a better word) that runs deep and is part of everything around us. Let me refer to it as Kaza so as to be able represent this referent. This 'Kaza' feels not invented, nor discovered… how does one discover something that exists outside the framework of time and space? It just is. All I can perceive at this point is that whatever the source of this Kaza is truly does run deep. It's as if you are standing on mountain and attempt to sense the foundation of that very same mountain and you can only sense that it runs profound and the deeper you go the stronger it becomes, the surface and greatest culmination being the frailest appendage of it's existence.
He has also countless times mentioned the 'Belsars'. Belsars are what we are to fear and what creates our fear. Belsars want our Kaza and Belsars are what parasitic humans are doomed to become … he names them 'intergalactic feeders'. To him they are alien invaders. I used to chuckle under my breath or mention to him that I haven't noticed any alien invasion. At those times he would simply treat me as the others that pitifully look upon him with disdain for his madness -- he would ignore me. I found myself apologizing for my insensitivity but also lately feel I may have to apologize for doubting him… that is if I myself am not going mad. Have I gone to far in these practices of I-O-I Foci? Have I cut myself too much from my 1st reality that when I attempt to return I merely am partially here? I cannot tell if the alien and foreign objects which I see in my physical realm are objects that are actually present or projections from my brain clouding my 1st reality vision. Arguably this could just be considered life -- distorting reality to fit your needs and desires. But it seems beyond that. I say this because the physical properties of those things I'm seeing do not change from day to day. The only variance is their location.
Maybe I should rest. I may be going mad… I have previously, in this life, questioned my sanity as I do now. What concerns me is that never before have I had such vivid visual hallucinatory perceptions when doubting my sanity.
Yes, maybe I should rest… find some tea.

cancerisch fuckdat!

This is my cancer...
and it slowly gnaws and creeps my inner Mycelium
perverting the network
corroding necessary functionaries
and piece by piece I disintegrate
so long as I let this cancer creep
and acknowledge it's existence.

You are my cancer
or so I thought to tell myself
until I realized the vehicle is driven
by none other than myself
and you hold no power to make me hate...
What was done by you may perpetuate
and at times it felt too late
until I once again and again epiphany 
that I have sole manipulation
of my Mycelium's fate.   

So I must sever the variables
that corrupt my inner workings
for it is wise to not spread this to others
but rather evoke create rather than hate
and that begins in my inner workings,
my beautiful Mycelium's fate.
