seeing sound
MT is a pseudo neuro tarnsmitter that when ingested and allowed to come to rest in the synapses of the brain, allows one to see sound so that one can use the voice to produce not musical compositions, but pictoral and musical compositions. this to my mind indicates that were on the cusp of some kind of evolutionary transition in the language forming area, so that we are going to go from language that is heard to a language that is seen, through a shift in interior processing. The language will still be made of sound but it will be procesed as the carrier of visual impression. this is actually being done by the shamans in the Amazon. the songs they sing sound as they do in order to look a certain way. They are not musical compositions as were used to thinking about them. They are pictoral art that is caused by audio signals.
In the Amazon and in other places where visonary plants are understood and used, you are conveyed into worlds that are appalingly different then ordinary reality. There vividness can not be expressed enough. They are more real then real, and thats something that you sense intuitvly. They establish a ontological priority. They are more real than real, and once you get that under you belt, and let that rattle around in your mind. Then the compass of your life begins to spin and you realize that your not looking in on the Other, but the Other is looking in on you. This is a tremendous challenge to the intellectual structures that have carried us so far during the last thousand years. We can do triks with atoms,there's no question about that, but these tricks immolate us. The higher structure of molecules, let alone organelles and that kind of thing is intellectual incognita to us. We have no notion how these things work or what is going on, yet it is from those levels that the consitituent modalities are being laid down.
