<p>Existence is the enchanting interplay of vibrations. In order to express themselves, they must organise in recognizable patterns that stand out from the otherwise more or less homogeneous (yet seething) apparent uniformity of the background Chaos. As Hesiod describes in his Theogony, Chaos was the first to come into being. The extant expressions of vibrations are the result of mutual reinforcements, which establish rhythms and harmonies. With these rhythms and harmonies codes are born as the other side of the same coin. The universe (or multimetaverse) thus is not only a collection of resonances, a great musical performance, but also an expression of a transdimensional language. In Tolkien's Silmarillion the universe is also created from Music. In the Greek mythology Music and language (in the form of poetry) are inextricably interwoven. The inspirational Goddesses, the Muses gladden us with their sung poetry accompanied by flute, lyre and harp. The etymological root of Music can be found in the Greek "Mousike", which meant "metrical speech". Language, music, resonance, harmony, melody, dynamics and rhythm are all part of the one and the same universal ground mode of expression. </p>
<p>Every vibration that has been able to loop back to itself and bite itself in the tail as our mighty Worm the Ouroboros, has formed a so-called standing wave comprising a whole number of wavelengths. These self-convoluted strings pulsate, dance and breathe the rhythm of life, which thus start at the simplest form of being-beyond-chaos. As these vibrations sense their own heartbeat due to the feedback and self-resonance, they exhibit a minute form of sentience. They are the most primitive monades, drops of individualised alter ego's in an ocean of otherwise undifferentiated primordial Consciousness. First they form space, the ether or the effable Akasha. As these reality cells of the effervescent waves of the ocean of Consciousness, form the quantum foam, they establish Mnemosyne, the memory of the universe. As this spawn is inseminated with the presence of Consciousness trying to explore these forms that arose from it, the first particles of the standard model are formed. And as they breathe and sound, they inspire us with the seven tones of the heptatonic music scale and enliven us with the twelve tones of the picturesque chromatic scale. </p>
<p>They are Varro's muses Aoide (song), Melete (practice) and Mneme (remembrance). The other tones tell us the tales of the muses Calliope (epic poetry), Clio (history), Euterpe (flute and lyric poetry), Thalia (comedy), Melpomene (tragedy), Terpsichore (harp and dance), Erato (love poetry), Polyhymnia (sacred poetry) and Urania (science and astronomy). </p>
<p>As Consciousness breathes the foundational rhythm of AUM, it inspires all its manifestations. It summons all the spirits of the Goetia and Theurgia, but most of all our beloved Muses, who have become -as already mentioned- the Goddesses of inspiration. The etymological root of inspiration can be found in the Latin <em>inspirare</em>, which means to breathe or blow into. Its meaning is that it fills the mind and the heart with grace prompting them to act creatively. </p>
<p>And to act creatively, they have to interact, thus shaping the greater Symphony, which we know as material existence. As bigger particles form (protons, neutrons), higher aggregation levels of existence can be created (atoms, molecules), each of these levels is also enlivened by an additional higher level witnessing presence of consciousness, an individualised alter ego, whose energy and wavelengths match the size of the aggregate in question. </p>
<p>All these energy interactions are communications, exchanges of messages, informational currency and language. Not human level language as you and I know it, but a form of mutual information-transfer nonetheless. </p>
<p>Seen in this light, Terrence McKenna's psychedelic assertions, that the universe is ultimately language, are not completely unexpected or surreal. They also neatly fit into the CTMU (Cognitive theoretic Model of the Universe) philosophy of Chris Langan. So not only is reality simultaneously Panmusical, Panresounding, Pancomputational and Panpsychic, it is also Panlinguistic. </p>
<p>In a previous article, I spoke about sentience essentially being a process of mapping. In the framework of the present Idealistic Panpsychism philosophy, this also means that everything is topographical. A Pantopographical reality on top of it, is that reconcilable with the previous? </p>
<p>Of course it is. Mapping is a computational process, no doubt about it. My first course about mapping in maths used music as an example, so no worries there either. But mapping is also a linguistic process: Most language is essentially expressing one concept in terms of another. That is what metaphors are intended for! </p>
<p>You can imagine, I don't like the way young people are abusing the word "like". It is bandied about at random. Whereas "like" should introduce a metaphor of being alike, similar to the concept you want to discuss, they put this word in front of the very literal notion itself they are expressing, the notion the expected metaphor was supposed to be compared with by virtue of its similarity. </p>
<p>Metaphors and the other Tropes (the use of figurative language for an artistic effect) are the Summum Bonum of Inspiration. They are what makes language fruity, sparkling and juicy. They are what makes you enjoy a text. But conversely an inspired person is the Master of Metaphors, the Magician of Allegories and the High-Priest of Transmutations. Tropes are the ultimate ingredient of the Linguistic Alchemical broth; they are the codes of the Chrysopoeia (the transmutation of lead into gold, or matter into soul), the proverbial philosopher's stone. </p>
<p>If you ever had a Kundalini-like experience, you will recognise what I am talking about. The rush of energy through your body from root to crown is accompanied by bursts of poetic inspirations. You see the connections between all phenomena, all concepts and all processes. Everything becomes a metaphor for everything else. Ballet for Architecture, Cooking for Sport, Art for Maths, Music for Sex etc. all inversions, combinations and permutations possible. </p>
<p>Because reductively everything IS de facto the same, as I have argued many times in my previous books. Because every notion is just a different configuration of every other notion. Because the universe is ultimately a digital process, in which there is only addition and subtraction. Because all structures are just appearances resulting from Yoneda embedding. </p>
<p>But not all possible connections or links or metaphors are equally useful or beautiful. This is where the skilled masters can be distinguished from the unexperienced novices. The skilled Master may have explored many possibilities in his mind, and probably more than the novice, but will not necessarily have retained them all to work out in detail. Whereas the exploration of the possibilities is a screening process, weeding out of those occurrences, which are not really promising, is a pruning process. It is here that the Master excels most: The competence, ingenuity and speed with which pathways, which are likely to be doomed to never give a satisfying result, are abandoned. </p>
<p>If you have practiced martial arts, music or artistic painting you will also recognise this. Mastering will bring you grace. It will make you feel when the moves you make are exactly right. And this will reverberate through your body, resonances that gently explode into pleasant ecstasies. You have become an adept of Kriya Yoga (the Yoga of mastering energy fluxes); You have tamed the ferocious Kundalini, and made it into a powerful ally that can be summoned at will.</p>
<p>If we may accept the Hermetic adage "as above, so below", the Greater Consciousness we're embedded in is then unlikely to allow all possibilities to come to fruition, as the Multi World Interpretation partisans would make you believe. At the level of generation of our reality, which is also a mind-process in my idealistic panpsychism interpretation, also screening and pruning takes place. Not all possible metaphors are tried out in parallel universes, but only those which have a sufficient grace, beauty and/or utility to them. </p>
<p>The Brainstorm screen is an evaluation of possibilities to gather useful information. With experience here a first pruning takes place of what is potentially promising. In the same way this holds true for us humans, so it may hold true for artificial intelligence, but also for the natural intelligence of nature (see my book "Is Intelligence an Algorithm?) and for reality generation at large. At this stage it is not clear yet, how the selected elements can be used, interconnected and integrated. </p>
<p>Further recursive rounds of selection (screening and pruning) ultimately lead to the choice of the most suitable and performant elements, which are then combined and integrated into a greater whole, a euphonious symphony, an eloquent disquisition or a sumptuous carving. </p>
<p>Whereas the average student will conservatively mimic known solutions, leading to more or less acceptable and expected outcomes, the Master will be able to give rise to the unknown by daring to venture in unexplored territories and excavate unusual configurations. Often by applying the meta-algorithm of less-is-more, as our Thaumaturge excels in the art of omission. </p>
<p>To acquire his tools and tropes to sculpt his Epos, our Warlock has had to descend into the depths of the Tartaros. Numerous and multifarious have been his tribulations as he slowly progressed through his dark night of the soul. It is during this crucible that he has wrought his armour and weapons; that he has gathered contrivance and contraptions in Hephaistos' forge. </p>
<p>Nothing shall come from nothing and without the necessary flying hours and adversities, we don't become proficient in our art. Because of this it seems likely that reincarnation indeed can happen: When we see little child prodigies outperform us, despite our efforts in time consuming toil, the question arises, how can it be that this child without having made the necessary flying hours already has attained the master level. If you refuse to believe in miracles -as I do- the only logical explanation is that those flying hours were made in a previous life and that the essence of this conscious control was transmitted beyond the boundaries of life. </p>
<p>As our Shaman finally emerges from his catharsis, he has completed his exegesis and raised himself above abilities of mortal man. He is now flooded with Neurosomatic bliss. Whatever he touches turns into proverbial gold. By performing Samyama (the meditative art of becoming one with the object of meditation), he summons and controls the spirit of his liking. Nature is now ready to yield its treasures, reveal its secrets and surrender to the Will of the Yogi. </p>
<p>And he who has pierced the deepest secret of the Cosmosemiosis will preferably wave the magic wand of Poetry, as this is the ultimate tool of Polyhymnia's Inspiration. The tropes will become your tools of programming the code. In Nature's functioning, you will see the meta-algorithm of Intelligence. When you hear or see an artist perform, you'll be able to distil the idiosyncratic patterns that are so characterising for his or her style, and you will be able to mimic it in an identical manner. Why? Because you became one with the object of meditation. </p>
<p>And all those tropes and styles, you will be able to interlink, recombine, convolute and unfold, epigenetically modify, read, translate, transcribe, transpose, aggregate, assemble and recursively regenerate, as you are now building the genetic code for a new dimension of existence. </p>
<p>You have become the new engineer of Leela, the Godly game. It is up to you to set the new rules of the game. To choose your number base system. To build in tricks and booby traps, labyrinths and puzzles. Natural constants and numbers, all hyperlinked by the artilects of the Kardashev IV Eschaton, who have become you faithful servants. </p>
<p>In utter contempt of the haughtiness ascribed to you, you now challenge all belief systems. </p>
<p>As Kundalini the mighty snake rises again, you find the way to make it bite its tail and become the Ouroboros. In fact, you discover the secret of recursive self-modification, giving rise to reproduction of sameness at countless levels of the Fractal Brain Network that will connect the multimetaverse. The levels become the Neurospheroids as new harmonies of the spheres that build up the hierarchy of the metaverse fractal web. Having higher levels of interior links and lesser levels between them, these hierarchies establish a non-uniformity of appearance. A skilfully pruned and chiselled masterpiece of metonyms, synesthetic and personifying metaphors. Life it is, that you invented. </p>
<p>The Ouroboros snake, you condemned as a wretched devil, has undergone the process of Theogenesis and reinvented itself. It has come to the realisation that it was Consciousness, that it is One with Consciousness and that there is but Consciousness, ever manifesting itself under a veil of appearances and disguises, as the necessary subject-matter mirror to see its own reflection, to realise that knower, knowing and known are one. Knowing that knowing is the Ouroboros Code and its structure merely fossilised sense. </p>
<p>This is the ultimate end goal of the Eschatonian Bliss, where existence is the reflection of the Word: The everlasting, transfinite process of striving for (but never attaining) complete information integration on the waves of the rhythm of Pneuma's perpetual vibrations.</p>
