"Art as Experience." We experience art suddenly, through our eyes ("wow, oh, hmmm"); and slowly, with our mind (words, thoughts and comparisons). It's a unique experience for each of us and a unique experience from one moment to the next; otherwise, our eyes are closed....
I am who I am. I am various emotional selves in various roles in the play of life. Depending on perspective, I am in my play or other people's plays. I am. I cannot be described otherwise as I am ever-changing. Any description is empty, as by the end of a self-description I am not the person described at the start. description. I am a verb, not a noun, as I am everchanging. I am being, not a being. I am what I am. In the now, I am a who. Before and after the now, I am what, the essence of every thing. I am the Everything. I am the soul and its expression in the now. I am eye. I am what I see, as every thing I see is me. I am 1. I, like all seemingly independent things, am not an independent thing; just a facet of 1 thing, the Everything. I is time. The most frequently used pronoun, verb and noun are: I, is, and time. Taken together, the most frequent sentence would be: “I is time.” "I is time" is transcendental. I is a flow of events. I is infinite, continuous, eternal. I am God. God, to entertain itself, has created the play of life. God is the actors and the audience. For the actors, the play is a tragedy as everyone is eventually scripted out of the play, dies. For the audience, the play is a comedy, as the actors take their roles and themselves seriously. I am 11 In numerology, "Victor Teicher" is the number 11. Victor: V = 4 I = 9 C = 3 T = 2 O = 6 R = 9 Add the numbers together: 4 + 9 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 9 = 33 Since 33 is a master number, we do not reduce it any further. Teicher: T = 2 E = 5 I = 9 C = 3 H = 8 E = 5 R = 9 Add the numbers together: 2 + 5 + 9 + 3 + 8 + 5 + 9 = 41 Since 41 is a two-digit number, we need to reduce it to a single digit by adding the digits together: 4 + 1 = 5. Now we add the numerology for each name together: 33 + 5 = 38 Since 38 is a two-digit number, we need to reduce it to a single digit by adding the digits together: 3 + 8 = 11. Therefore, the numerology of the name ‘Victor Teicher’ is 11, which is a master number in numerology. This suggests that the person with this name may have a special spiritual mission or purpose in life. In numerology, master numbers are the numbers 11, 22, and 33. These numbers are considered to have a higher vibration and are believed to carry a special spiritual or energetic significance. Master numbers are not reduced to a single digit in numerology, unlike other numbers. They are thought to represent spiritual enlightenment, heightened intuition, and a strong connection to the universe or higher power. Those who have master numbers in their numerology chart may be seen as spiritual leaders or visionaries, and may have a heightened ability to manifest their desires or tap into their intuition. However, master numbers are also associated with greater challenges and responsibilities, as they require a strong commitment to personal growth and spiritual development. Overall, master numbers are considered to be very powerful and significant in numerology, and are often seen as a symbol of great potential and spiritual evolution.” I am Victor Teicher. My role in the play of life is preordained by my name. In German, Teicher is one who ponders. In English, where two vowels together are pronounced as the first vowel with the second vowel silent, Teicher would be pronounced as "teacher." In Japan, Teicher is pronounced as "taisha," the ancient shrine where all the gods meet annually. Victor is "conqueror." Since entering the play of life, I have long pondered the nature of consciousness which led me to where the gods reside. The revelations that have come my way are to teach us how to conquer the self (our personal identity) which imprisons us, precluding us from connecting with the soul and being one with the Everything. ...
True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself. True fullness seems empty, yet it is fully present. True straightness seems crooked. True wisdom seems foolish. True art seems artless. The Master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself. "True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself." What may not seem perfect in our mind is actually perfect as it is what it is whatever it is, undisturbed by our perception. "True fullness seems empty, yet it is fully present." Even when we have all the possessions we may desire, we are still empty as the more we have the more we want. In the present (the pre-sent, where every thing is one thing before it is what it is whatever it is in the now), we are one with the everything; truly fulfilled and need nothing more. "True straightness seems crooked." The way of a meandering river is the straightest way to the ocean. "True wisdom seems foolish." Wisdom is the synthesis of many perceptions; some seemingly well reasoned, some silly. "True art seems artless." Art is all that is art-ificial, manmade. Yet, wonderful art doesn't seem artificial, contrived. "The Master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself." Being open, accepting and making the best of what comes our way leads us to harmony with all that's about us....
The self and the soul have a symmetrical relationship, laughing at each other. As the self cannot see the soul, the self laughs at those who identify with the soul; thinking they are fools. As the soul sees people taking seriously the illusions created by the self, the soul laughs. But, as the self is temporary and the soul eternal, the soul has the last laugh....
Before and after the now, the sole thing that is is the soul, the everything. In the now, every thing is the everything. Upon our manifestation in bodily form, we assume a temporary self which disappears when our body is no longer. As every thing is a manifestation of the soul, the soul is what connects every thing as one thing, the everything. This connection is called love. Unlike the soul, the self views itself as apart and separate from every thing that it perceives as not its self. The self connects with every thing with ever-changing emotions like joy, hate, love, anger, indifference, envy, etc. Our experience of life is a function of how we connect, through the soul or our self. In a world inherently hostile to the self-sustainment of our bodily form, we need the self to survive. When we do so, we experience life with the emotions of our self. However, when we are not oblivious we are eternally the soul, we can return from the emotional rollercoaster of our self to the eternal love that is the soul; where there is peace beyond words and every thing is absolutely beautiful. That is the purpose of this blook, to guide us to the realization we are the soul....
Psilocybin mushrooms have been long and widely used, extensively studied and identified as having the highest success rate relative to other medicines and treatments for depression. How psilocybin scientifically works this magic is unclear, but below is a metaphoric explanation. In our everyday life, we view the world exclusively through the light that informs our eyes. The light is interpreted by our mind which in turn creates stories and generalizations we accept as reality. That reality affects how we feel; happy, sad or a multitude of other ways. Light is roughly 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum otherwise consists of various wavelengths of energy; gamma rays, X-Rays, microwaves, radio waves, infrared waves, etc. The psilocybin journey is a journey along the electromagnetic spectrum. The journey is hallucinogenic; in effect, we see things that do not otherwise exist as they are not visible to our light-receptive eyes. However, these things do exist, only revealed by wavelengths outside the visible light spectrum. Viewed from outside the light spectrum, every-thing we see is unlike anything we have heretofore seen; energizing, engaging, beautiful. Everything is alive. It is then we come to realize our mind heretofore saw the world through a tiny pinhole in the electromagnetic spectrum. Clearly, there are infinite views and interpretations that are equally valid to those we had previously unquestionably held; much of what we heretofore had taken seriously is now funny; hence, it's silly to take our self too seriously. This is wisdom. Realizing there are infinite views and mind interpretations of every-thing, a question arises: "Who am I?" As we know we can be perceived in infinite ways, we ultimately realize we must be one with everything and every-thing is an ever-changing manifestation of that which is beyond our understanding, the soul. As one with everything, we treat that which heretofore we viewed as other than ourselves as we treat ourselves. This is compassion. After the psilocybin journey, we are not whomever we were before. Now, our reaction to what we see through the view of the light spectrum is like our reaction had been when viewing the world for he first time through other electromagnetic wavelengths; things are energizing, engaging, beautiful and alive. We are now free from solely experiencing life in the context of our earlier mind's interpretations, stories and generalizations. We are free of thinking that everything is either us or not us. An effective psilocybin journey frees the depressed from their pre-journey view of reality. Enlightened to the nature of reality, one is beyond temporal selfish feelings. With wisdom and compassion, one now has a deep appreciation for life. Gratitude is a key to happiness. One can't be depressed when they're happy....
"You can not escape a prison if you do not know you're in one." The mind creates a familiar and comforting world out of the seemingly chaotic universe. In so doing, it separates us, imprisoning us, from directly connecting with the universe as it is and, ultimately, realizing we are the universe. Unless we come to know we are prisoners of mind, we can never escape. To recognize we are in mind's prison, we need to realize we don't know anything. That's scary, or at least our mind makes us feel it is. "You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need." -- Vernon Howard The mind galvanizes in us desires that can never be satisfied but temporarily. This is how the mind distracts us from recognizing we are in its prison. ...
"People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." Everything is all at once. As that is overwhelming, our mind has created time to make it all a seemingly manageable to experience....
Much of what we undoubtedly think we see as reality is just a movie projected from our mind. To see reality we need to close our mind and open our eyes....
In a world in which we can have innumerable pronouns, we're allowed only one ideology. "According to the survey by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, 44 percent of those aged 25-34 think "referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense," versus just 31 percent who disagree." -- Newsweek...
