we sat her in a chair, handed her the instrument,
and started recording.)
While stumbling through the Labyrinth, I bumped into an
unknown. And, this is what she said:
Pehaps
the reason we can't understand non-linear time
is because our perception of space is linear, too.
Not only is time not linear, but space isn't either.
In other words, we
see getting from one point to another in a linear fashion...
from A to B
to C... and so on, linearly. But, what if the construct of space was
not matter... then our perceptions would not hold true.
Point A, B, and C could be simultaneously reached at the same
point in time. The key, here, is to realize that
BOTH time and space
are non-linear... not just one... but BOTH.
This can be best understood by realizing that matter
is a "fluke" in
the otherwise empty universe... and, that its alternate form,
energy,
may be the prevalent state and not the exception.
Therefore, our "perceptions" of linear time and space
are distorted
by our physicality. We could understand the concept by seeing
a two dimensional universe in which there was no up or down...
like a Parcheesi board. If we were flat like the Parcheesi chips
then we would not understand the concept of up and down,
would be? If a voice spoke to us from above or below, would we
know in what direction to look?
I thought the result of nearing the speed of light resulted in
distortion of time and space. But, what I didn't realize, and
now do, is that the distortion occurred here in the physical
manifestation of energy. WE ARE THE DISTORTION !

Though the unknown thought she was reciting a soliloquy,
an imp happened to overhear what she had to say.
This is his reply:
Hmmm... I suppose you do have some good insights into
some things that are out-of-sight. But, does this explain
our purpose? Does this explain the key to my life?
Description of the video: A full-length piece with a
high quality soundtrack... and... oh, yeah... it was
assemble using the principles of chaos theory.
Here is a link to
some smaller downloads... but, please be careful you don't get lost!
I heard sum fizisist say:
The word "chaos" is sometimes taken to mean
the opposite of "cosmos", in that the latter
term has connotations of "order". Until the
last few decades, chaotic systems have not
been studied nearly as much as ordered systems,
perhaps because chaotic systems are far more
difficult to understand...
In many ways a musical number is a chaotic system. It has a number of
`attractors' and there is some sort of order about these `attractors'.
For instance, there are repeating sets of chord changes and a repeating
beat, or meter. Nonetheless, these patterns do not repeat
themselves exactly throughout a piece of music.
The beat of the music is not sterile and exactly repeating. It is like a
heart beat. It slows down or speeds up a little. Often so little that
it is not noticeable. The heart beat is chaotic,
it does not keep perfect time. Like the
heart, if the beat gets too far out of line, the music sounds bad.
But also if the beat is too repetitive, the music sounds bad and is boring.
The same logic applies to the chord progressions typically played by
piano or guitar, or even an orchestra in a classical piece.
Although the chord pattern may repeat, different inversions, voicing,
dynamics and rhythms are used over the pattern so that it does not repeat
exactly. This is what makes the music interesting.
Music is not random
(chaos does NOT mean random) yet it is not periodic
(repeating).
Description of the video: A full-length movie. A unique piece in the
sense that it was created based on the ideas of the title - two individuals
simultaneously distorting their own discipline. A 100% spontaneous piece...
the film shoot and the soundtrack were written and recorded on-the-fly and captured
directly to the harddrive of a computer.
So, I asked Sidd,
"how much energy could be created from my mass?"
His answer:
heehee
"how much izzat," e asks...
"well, ow long izzat," e asks...
or, we could run a billion computers for a year....
As I thank Sidd, I think to myself, "hmmmm... perhaps if I try... try to use
my mind's eye...?"

The water's slowly spinning round and round.
The plug on my reality has been pulled. I begin getting sucked right in.
As the whirlpool pulls me under, I catch a glimpse of The Unknown
flitting on the surface:
Forever walking round the paths,
After what felt like a lifetime of living an endless loop,
The Unknown appeared to me again.
Description of the video: the first time.
Am I awake? Or, is this a dream?
Before I get a chance to answer, I'm placed in a chair... under bright lights...
I'm handed an instrument... there are people staring at me. Why are they looking
at me?
When I look down, there is something very strange. My gender has changed.
But before there is time to analyze the situation, the music begins.
Once I started to get the feel of the guitar though, I
wanted MORE MORE MORE!!!!
I want to keep playing... and to keep getting better and better.
I want to be a rock n roll star!!

did the others hear what I heard?

The following narration and graph is based on

Glancing toward my left, I notice another. He is traveling in the same direction
and appears to be some sort-of-a wise man. So I ask him,
"where are you headed?"
We are
documenting the rhythm of life based on concepts gleaned from the
I Ching .
The graph that accompanies me was generated by McKenna's TWZ software and
portrays this rhythm on a chronologically decreasing scales.
All lines appear to closely approach the horizontal axis sometime in
the first several decades of the 21st century. You'll notice there's a
distinct lack of apparent effort to extend the graph much beyond
that point. Apparently holistically inspired fractals don't reach negative
values? Or, maybe you just have to buy the software to see what happens next.

The bubble that is my utopia is suddenly pricked by a pin. A voice
ridicules in my ear, "you better wake-up, dear." I think to myself
"but, I'm a man!?"
Though the scene seems to change, is it the same? I still sit
in a chair... under bright lights...
I'm handed an ultimatum:
You can take what you took from me and shove it up your hairy ass.

Paradigm Times.
An article catches
my eye...
Today it was unveiled that psychologists have discovered a human with fifty
percent of his mind missing.
The man, from the South of England, was identified as suffering from the
previously unheard of syndrome when he was found wandering the streets in a
state of shock. Current theories suggest that someone had stolen exactly
half of the man's mind during a smash and grap raid. Several thoughts were
entirely missing from his mind, although his brain remained intact.
The remaining fraction of his mind made him able to begin to articulate
sentences, but he could not finish what he began to say. When asked how he
felt, he replied that he was "feeling okay, but". Further questions put to
him by the press were met with a similar response. "I just don't seem to be
able to finish what I", he said.
In one test, the man was asked to tell a joke. he began "a funny thing
happened to me on the way... I came across a... I said to the... and he
replied... "that's"... and "the funniest thing", but no-one could see how
that could be construed as amusing.
Efforts to trace the missing part of the man's psyche are continuing in
earnest, though the police need more information from the public.

Looking to my right,
I notice another. He is traveling in the same direction
and appears to be some sort-of-a wise man... er, a... a wise woman? So I ask her,
"where does this end?"
Life cannot pretend ... people pretend ... people build shadows
around
themselves and each other ... people are deceased by their
own failure to find
what they have lost ... to not want to find what is theirs
is a crime ... they
commit the crime and in doing so commit themselves to insanity.
Insanity
comes in many guises ... what is normality? Does it exist ...
no it is just a
word made up for shadows by shadows ... they think they are safe
hidden from
themselves ... they want to blame someone but they don't know how
... or
understand?
They arrived here just like everyone
else ... naked... needing ... open minded ... slowly growing
gray and
conceited ... wake up ... work ... blend in ... don't let your

The light the shadows... the life... the death? I pleaded to her to come back.
I thought I could hear her say:
But, we gotta be
subtle ... after all, we are the government employed ... pillars of the
community ... have to beat "it" out of them in a way no one can see ...
and he's
always getting picked on, and we're turning a blind eye.
If we don't run to
this one then eventually his soul will die ... let the
kids do it for us ... the
ones that we've affected ... the ones that sat at home lonely and
rejected
The parents got the ball rolling ... they never felt
protected ... keep bullying and scolding ... best not give consoling
...ahh I
must be dreaming ... I hurt ... I ache ... I am ... I see what's going
wrong in the
world ... I know ... I don't belong in this place ... there
isn't much that I can
do ... but there is much that I can save ... he doesn't fight
back like the other
boys ... he cries tears like the girls and for that he pays.
And, now he is
starting to slip away ... and everyone is laughing ... but
they've no idea ...their
too far gone towards the gray ... their to far gone into the shadowed
world ... they don't know it yet, but one day they will? He wakes up
... he sees
the self he left behind ... the crowds of ugly manmade kids ...
... but far away he's
gonna fly
somehow he's past that mortal
fear ... he feels alive for the first time ... now he knows it will take more to
kill his soul than a few splats of Grey matter perched inside some offending
head of public status that's undeserving of their false position of authority
and a bunch of hapless kids that don't even know that their entire act has
been instigated and infiltrated and whacked into them with lashings of long
dried up tongues from garbage mouths ... from sorry little souls that lost
their way and don't know or care to find the way home ... too scared of what is
real ... the corridors of power? There is no power. No one has the right to
claim it as their own. It belongs to the people. It's what burns the coal ... and
fires the soul with unseen forces. He knows he's a long way from home ... but
he's free ... for now ... and he's gonna find the answers ... he has to ... if he's
gonna save himself, and he has to do that ... if he's gonna save the
world ... whatever that means?

As my life flashes before me, I am greeted by a seraph
heralding himself the Oracle, Child of Einstein:
First of all, you have to understand that
Einstein began to question EVERYTHING at
about age 8 when it struck the poor
kid that EVERYTHING travels at different speeds
except for one thing:
light. He spent the rest of his life trying to figure out exactly how
that could possibly be true. He never did figure out how gravity
figures in, but he got really close.
The Theory of Relativity was only his first attempt, and the
poor genius was working as a clerk at the time. He had absolutely NO
IDEA that he had implied the possibility of an atomic bomb as an accidental
bi-product of trying to figure out why light is a constant. All he
knew is that he had succeeded in understanding the relationship between
energy and matter (whatever they really are) and he
figured out the formula,
E=MC^2. The bomb part turned out to be the curse of his whole life, his
CROSS to bear, if you will, and it made him deeply unhappy that he had
anything to do with it.
The main trunk of the tree of
the Theory of Relativity is simple really: It says that reality is
relative to the observer because of the relative velocity of the observer(s)
and the velocity of the event(s).
But how can REALITY be RELATIVE?
Doesn't that sort of negate the concept?
Now you've got it... that's the whole point; how can
reality be relative? And if it is, then why call it "reality"?
Our brains demand that there must be more, there has to be an objective
reality we can really depend on; but then here comes old Albert suggesting
very strongly that THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE REALITY. Man, he threw the
entire universe of scientists into a tailspin with that one,
I'm-a-tellin-a-you.
It's hard to get even two people to agree exactly on their
perceptions of an "event". So, here is the key to understanding it all:
ONLY THE OBSERVER IS
REAL. And, the observer's consciousness does not depend on relative velocity,
because velocity only affects the observer's time and perception -- NOT the
observer.
Unless you want to contemplate multiple but separate
realities that are interconnected through a mutual "unreality", then
the more probable answer is that there
IS an objective reality. That all the so-called "separate" observers are
actually interconnected through the ONE objective reality...
which some like to
call "life". And that in fact,
there is no real separateness; there is only
the illusion of separateness.
Now, it became more evident to me. How tragic can a death be?
Perhaps a better question would be, "How
tragic can a life be... er, a... should I say lifetime?"
After all, what is more tragic
than wasting the time I have while occupying my physical body?
My body lives today,
And, if I wasn't through,
D, da, de, da, d, da, de, da,

I could see myself. I could see the wise men. I could see us
getting closer to that point.
But, could I... could I see us becoming one?
I shouted ahead to the first wise man,
"are we in this together?"
As a result, we limit our linguistic use of the term "chaos" to those remote and
incomprehensible events that happen somewhere out there in another galaxy
just before it folds. Or in the micro-sense that we might have an ulcer somewhere
in our gastro-intestinal system. Both these venues share a common trait: they're
invisible to naked eye under ordinary conditions.
In fact, if it becomes collectively agreed among a sufficient number of observers
that a human being's behavior is chaotic, we tag those individuals eccentric
or insane... or possibly just in show business. Which is probably why we make
allowances for insanity as a potential gift in the arts and sciences, while a dread
disease in the other realms mentioned here.
By comparison, if a business entity (a corporation, conglomerate or multi-national
firm, or even an entire securities exchange) behaves in a way we could identify
as chaotic, we close them down for good as if it never existed, and the taxpayer
bites the big one (bankruptcy), or we close it down, then open it back up under
a new name, or use the chaos to sell it off so it doesn't have to be shut down,
making a profit in the process.
We have laws for all nations to prevent them from becoming chaotic, despite the
fact that most modern nations' founders seemed to think that "a little revolution
once in a while is a good thing". In politics, you're allowed to be chaotic, within
limits that change roughly as often as most of us change clothing. And in the
American congress, if you get very chaotic with enough other fellow legislators,
you can call it a filibuster with perfect legitimacy and no excuses offered.
It appears that quite a few people all over the world are unwilling to allow this
inequity to continue between business and politics, and the rest of us common
folk. The resulting behavioral trend toward equality in standards among all human
assemblages is part of this thing called convergence.
But wouldn't you know it... business and industry has an alternative application for
this "convergence" thing. This is illustrated in the convergence of many elements
of related industries, such as mergers among firms in telephone services, cellular
phones and systems, Internet services, computer manufacturers, and software
manufacturers. Those crazy white collar guys... they always find a way to avert
rational humanism with a borrowed piece of terminology.
And of course, there's government... just utter the word "convergence" in geo-political
terms in any legislative session on the planet, and you're likely to hear sphincters slam
shut on the next continent. Why? Because globalism just means "think" global, but
act local. Another way of saying nobody wants to experiment on a global scale just
yet with the same type of experience in the former Soviet Union during the past few
years.
On the other hand, as is typical of government, none of the nations undergoing
alleged democratization during the past few years seemed to have anything
resembling a transition plan. Another peculiarity. It seems everybody telepathically
decided to democratize at the same relative moment in time after about 10,000
years of semi-recorded human history. For the moment, we'll call that convergence,
too.
Description of the video: a collage of sight and sound that combines
the first time experience of playing a bass guitar,
sound clips from the national archives (original words of discouragement to the
homesteaders from the government), and the concept of time/space distortion to
help harness the power of love... wow... sounds heavy, dude.
"E-gadz," I thought to myself, "this experiment has taken me quite far. And, one thing is
glaringly evident -
I have choice.
When it comes to me, I can adapt or be adapted. When it comes to my
environment, I can adapt or adapt it. The possibilities seem endless.
Can I be a butterfly in China?
Quickly! I must get home.
EVERYONE INTO THE TIME MACHINE!"

surfs up!

The total distortion of reality,
C. Moore & SIDD: "The total distortion of reality,
seems to be your destiny."
At first glance, it appears to be attractive.
But, if I ponder further... I know that I am with body.
And, why not cherish the moment... for I will die... and be without?
As the past and present converge on the future,
what will be the impact of sex, drugs and rock n'
roll on Utopia?

What is a chaotic system?
Looking at the rising smoke from a
cigarette illustrates some of the differences
between ordered and chaotic systems. Initially
the smoke rises in a smooth upward flow (laminar
flow), which breaks down a few inches
above the tip of the cigarette into
a disordered, turbulent motion(turbulent flow).
This is an example of a transition from an ordered
system into a chaotic one. A stream of water flowing
out of an appropriately adjusted faucet exhibits
similar behavior, which is ubiquitous in a host of
phenomena, both man-made and natural.
The weather systems of the atmosphere (which
are intertwined with the heat and mass flows
in the oceans) are chaotic. A system of more
than two bodies orbiting under each other under
their mutual gravitational attraction is also chaotic,
by extension the entire solar system is a chaotic!

Piercing Of The Heart
Where does it all begin? Did it ever begin? Did it ever end?
Did it ever pretend?
And as fast as she had come, she had gone. Or, had she?
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes... ashes,
We all fall down.

Ring Around The Rosy
Schoolyard ... it's all a game ... it's all such pain ...
it's all taxpayers money
down the drain ... their running riot ... got no control ...
can't keep them
quiet ... can't tame the soul ... but we can kill it ... oh yeah ...
with
education ... special tactics ... and drastic action.
Falling deeper into the dark
hole ... falling ... smiling ... knowing! Strength of
the heart is the best medicine.

Trag_e_d
The entire "Meaning of Life" --
"Heavy, man, real heavy," I thought to myself.
Very heavy, actually. If only the observers are real (and
even I have to admit the existence of multiple observers who are equal in
reality to me), then there is a HEAVY implication
that the "real" observers
are somehow integrally interconnected.
As he became me, we thought... hmmm?
The surreallity of my immortality... will I turn to heaven...
will I turn to hell?
Will it all turn out well?
yet could be gone tomorrow.
with what I need to do,
that would be,
a tragedy.
... a trag, e, dy.

Competition and convergence... hmmm...
peculiar. The taxonomy and nomenclature of chaos is an inherent element
of most every artistic and scientific discipline and environment. But only rarely
is the notion of chaos afforded any attention in politics, government or business
where it is most manifestly evident.

In Summation: The Total Distortion of Reality
C. Moore: "The total distortion of reality, seems to be your destiny."
Though your chances of success...
Are so remote.
Seems to be your destiny.
You sit about all the day and gloat,
While your chances of success are so remote.
Seems to be your destiny.
If you were to ask me,
I'd be anybody but thee."
After Thought
The desire to not be dependent on anyone....
The desire to not be dependent on anything...
nor to have anything dependent on me....
To Be Continued....

The Bonus Tracks
These bonus tracks make up a sub-plot to
the story.
It has to do with the certainty of the future.
That the future will come is certain. But, how
we (as individuals) will effect the future is not certain.
