Instagram post 18015871805311414 "The Runa, living in relation to the forest’s vast 
ecology of selves, also live their lives with one foot in futuro.

That is, they live 
their lives with one foot in the spirit realm that is the emergent product of the 
ways in which they engage with the futures and the pasts that the forest comes to harbor in its relational webs.

This other kind of “beyond,” this after-life, this super-nature, is not exactly natural (or cultural), but it is nonetheless real. 

It is its own kind of irreducible real, with its own distinctive properties and its 
own tangible effects in a future present."

Lyrics
You can dream all day
Close eyes & float away
Then all through the night
Paint pictures on the silence
In a minor key
Mingled with moonlight
Saw it with new eyes changing colours
Silence turns to words
Rhythms from within
We dream of a song, and sing a dream
And what dreams may come
Stuff your eyes with wonder

There’s a saying goes
As above, so below
Find it in a tree
Her eyes in harmony
What the surface shows
Reveals more than we know
Land beneath our feet
What my soul sees
Mountains are bones Rivers— veins
We dream of a song, and sing a dream
And what dreams may come
Stuff your eyes with wonder

Instagram post 18011720489174940 "What I’m talking about is the mystery of being as existential fact—that there is something that haunts this world, that can take apart and reduce every single one of us to a mixture of terror and ecstasy, fear and trembling. It is not an idea, that’s the primary thing to bear in mind, it is an experience.

We are not working here from theory, our theories are the weakest part of what we say. What we are working from is the fact of an experience which we need to make sense of.

Now, most of these Other-oriented experiences, which are hard to keep track of or make sense of, cannot be commanded freely.

They are more in the realm of: you are traveling in a foreign country and you contract a terrific fever and you fall into a vision and you have deep awareness and realization about the nature of life. This is not an experience that can ever be repeated; or you’re alone in a wilderness and you confront a flying object in the sky which seems to trigger strange bursts of thought in yourself; this cannot be repeated and triggered on command.

So only in the context of the psychedelic experience and the willed decision to act, can you enter this arena of repeatedly going to meet the experience of the Other.

It is a very, very bizarre enterprise. It is not that if we do it enough times, we will understand it, or become comfortable with it.

It is not in its nature to be understood, and it is not in its nature to accommodate itself to us.

Rather it’s that we have discovered another dimension." —Terence McKenna, Ethnobotany of Shamanism, 1988

Instagram post 18100259260373733 "Let’s see what we can do with this lovely, lovely thing that goes past all racial conflict and all kinds of conflict. It is a reflective tune and some time in your life you will have occasion to say “What is this thing called time? You know, what is that?” … Time is a dictator, as we know it: where does it go? What does it do? Most of all, is it alive? Is it a thing that we cannot touch and is it alive? And then one day you look in the mirror – how old – and you say, “Where did the time go?” We leave you with that one.

— Nina Simone, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", released on Black Gold (1970)

Instagram post 17931494348803055 Xenolinguistics

LINCOS, or Lingua Cosmica, is a language for extraterrestrial communication developed by Hans Freudenthal, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Utrecht. 

LINCOS represents an extension of the logistic language of mathematics developed by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. It is intended to be conveyed by unmodulated radio signals of varying duration and wavelength which represent phonemes. The signals would be combined to make up concepts or words.

Linguist Keren Rice posits that basic communication between humans and aliens should be possible, unless "the things that we think are common to languages—situating in time [and] space, talking about participants, etc.—are so radically different that the human language provides no starting point for it."

Jessica Coon, a professor of linguistics at McGill University, was consulted for the linguistic aspect of the 2016 film Arrival. While acknowledging that the graphical language in the film was art without linguistic meaning, she stated that the film was a fairly accurate portrayal of the approach human linguists would use in trying to understand an alien language.

Janus is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. 

In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of doors, gates, and transitions. Janus represented the middle ground between both concrete and abstract dualities such as life/death, beginning/end, youth/adulthood, rural/urban, war/peace, and barbarism/civilization.

Janus was known as the initiator of human life, transformations between stages of life, and shifts from one historical era to another.
