Is there a point?

Point, that is, besides the last 10.
Well, yes.

oops. I jumped blogs in my head.  The 10 points were in my personal metaphysical blog at golbselad.com

I'm wondering what it will take to bind together those groups who have some respect for the inner visions before it is too late.

What would make it too late?

Too late will be when those with no respect for the inner life of others gain majority control of the planet.  Some say this has already happened.  I don't think so.  When private militias are totally robotized, then you can be sure that those who respect inner visions are doomed on this level.

It is very much easier to stay inside a particular vision (read: culture, religion, sect, style) than it is to recognize the formal similarity with those of differing inner visions.  And, yet if those following inner visions do not learn to respect and defend each other, the combinations of evil and machines will be overwhelming.  When the Abrahamic folk realize this, there will be a world wide transformation.  By Abrahamic folk, I mean all those who descend genetically or memically from Abraham.  And that is just one inner vision group.

Eva Peron already said it for me: "Have I said too much....?"

observer ... participant....

A reader asks: Are you...

" a chronicler only, or have you had your own visions?....Can dreams be considered visions?"

Answer: It is impossible for me to be a "chronicler only".  Yes, I have my own visions.  And, Yes, dreams are probably the common visions.

I haven't any great visions, but some small experiences: an out of body float, seeming present at events that I was not present at physically, metaphorical dream/vision/delirium showing the morphing of the cultures, and another such seeming to emphasize the construction of presentable selves, ie: personae.  Both these last experiences seemed to emphasize the impermance of forms and the pain of change.

In another sense, imagination is visionary.  In my case my dreams are rarely informative but my imagination frequently is.  Consider the phrase: Dream House.  First we imagine, then we act.  With scientists, this step is clearer than with artists, but is often forgotten.

What I'm hoping for is this: to help people see that the visionary/imaginative part of a human is an intrinsic part of a human.  If a social system routinely denies this aspect while raising its young, the young will grow up atrophied.  If at the same time the social system vitiates the individual will, thus blocking both the visionary and the possibility of willful action, this social system will raise its young to be doubly troubled, blocked in vision, blocked in action. Some from of explosive putrescence seems inevitable.

You'd think...

You'd think the vision is all over.
Hiatal maybe.
But not dead.

Needs revision; ok: granted.
No response means needs more refinements.
More coming.

Famous visions discourage private visions.
It is hard to see the visionary spectrum,
from unmistakable to barely a hunch.

It is hard to connect all the visionary activity to an inherent part of a human.
We are dreamers.
Reason is quite secondary.

It's hard to care about the visionary aspect of someone's vision when you don't like the vision or don't like that someone.
It's hard to see that there is a coalition of humans who want to quash the freedom of the individual spirit.
It's hard to see that some inner life is better than no inner life, except when it is your own.

STEM and Wittgenstein

I've added a note on STEM and one tiny corner of Wittgenstein.

Evil

I've added a new portion of knowvision.org.

A little essay on how I'm using "evil".

J. H. Brennan: Whisperers: the secret history of the spirit world

Sometimes synchronicity occurs.
I just got Brennan's book and it is going to useful to this vision project. 
You could say it is a history of inner life eruptions into conscious active life.
And he draws on Julian Jayne's The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, on of my old favorites.
And to add synchronicity to synchronicity I also got Kirby Surprise's Synchronicity: the art of coincidence, choice, and unlocking your mind.

First know vision post

The know vision blog will be used to announce changes to the knowvision.org site and to initiate discussions if an essay is not warranted.
