Just wanting to muse about this fractal time notion, meander in a Burroughs-esque manner and see what comes out of it. I hope you'll join me as we might find ourselves unfolding something under the auspices of daydreaming.

Little dreamtime inhabitent: Who else lives in that space?
Fancy, what is the link to that site where you can align the future with the past?

here's the link to the fractual time clock: http://www.greggbraden.com/home/fractal-time-calculator/
spoke to bob the physicist about fractual time and he said he hasn't heard anybody in his field talking about it? he said to him it sounds like a theory and wonders how they came up with the time clock; he'd love to see the calculations/equations they used to come up with it.
i'd sure love to meet a dreamtime inhabitant! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
here's terence mckenna talking about fractual time which he calls "novelty theory time wave zero": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtnV25LWFQ8
Novelty theory attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. It is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology, morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna, when "novelty" is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as timewave zero or simply the timewave results. The graph shows at what times, but never at what locations, novelty is increasing or decreasing. According to the timewave graph, great periods of novelty occurred about 4 billion years ago when Earth was formed, 65 million years ago when dinosaurs were extinct and mammals expanded, about 10,000 years ago after the end of the ice age, around late 18th century when social and scientific revolutions progressed, during the sixties, around the time of 9/11, and with coming novelty periods in November 2008, October 2010, with the novelty progressing towards the infinity on 21st December 2012. --Wikipedia

dreamtime entity led me to didgeridoos and tuvan throat singers. had a lovely time.
this is all teriffic... i am really interested in using dreams and imagination to come up with characters from different times and places.. ii was waatching old epsoids of deadwood... i love the fact that they are supposly living in the mid 1800's and how they have developed the language...it sounds so silly, but they swear so much, it got me interested in how did they know what kind of swear words people used back then. I have not done any research on how everyday people used language during those times (mid 1800s' america )... I am sure they have peoples diaries and peorsonal letters etc, but how much of that is what people really talked about. Its kinda of a historical perspective question, but one im kinda interested in. maybe april knows more about how language is researched.... i am wanting to talk about history via characters living in different times and places... Its like the deep memory work i do, when characters living in the psyche are made visible and conscious...
i was also thinking of florinda donner again, i brought her up last group.. shes travels in dream time with groups of people... they have collective dreams... i know when i do my meditation workshops there are a few people who dream the smae dreams as well as dream for the group... dont know how we woulld do that, meaning what it would look like for our group, but still an interest...
I have a book about swearing somewhere. It's probably in storage but I'll look for it and get the title up here. But this is an important point because language in all its forms is how we represent ourselves in a particular time and it definitely is a living, changing thing. Even going back to what we were talking about with regard to the "trampification" of sexuality for young girls (going to prom dress ostensibly as hookers but perceiving it as simply "dressed up") and how a response to that might be to become sort of neo-Victorian without the repression. Which would be a strange and thoughtful experiment. I am thinking of Kim Novak in Vertigo or Tippi H in the Birds and how they are so contained in their sexuality that it drives others to obsession. or anyway, generates and intense exchange. Not to veer off into sex (doing a bit of channeling myself I guess :] ), but it's an interesting metaphor for me when thinking about the psychological space of language and how certain theatrical elements perhaps set a stage that becomes more influential than actual "text" or dialog.
Then thinking about this notion of dreaming simultaneously, B and I definitely do that. Well, I dream differently and in a way that is more distanced from my own (limited to) subconscious. Before his recent "vacation," I was dreaming his stress, but it was taking the form of all these little animal visitors. Some were my own pets, but some were other morphed, mythical creatures, like the coyote who grew in seconds into a coyote-deer. I'm going to try the time clock and then write more later.
well,
all interesting. I would love to see the language book on swearing... as per sexuality, i feel like im not elegant per say and that is ok with me. I like sexy, but as april says in a way that is not a trope of sexy. Even kim novack has a very high class trope of sexy, which i am sure will come around again. I like it when sexuality drips from some one, but it is not about a trope.. I was at a party a few weeks ago and people were talking about people who are hot and all i could say what that i dont think anyone is hot. I like sexy and some of the sexyist people I have ever met, dont fit any model of sexy. what other historical ages are considered sexy?
But what april has said about the idea of the visuals creating the emotion is really interesing. I also love the idea april and i were discussing of using different historical tropes with other historical tropes to make something new. I was watching deadwood last night and i swear I kept seeing modern lighting in the set and I thought wow how interesting would that be to have a full on historical movie with totally modern/post modern/modernist sets? What does that talk about? I love the idea that the past is actually influenced by the future.
