You seem like the sort of person who has opinions about the His Dark Materials series.

Yeah, I read it when I was in Middle School and I loved the concept of Dust. I would say that probably impacted my conception of the way physics of spirituality works in some ways it probably did not affect many other people.

I loved the concept of Experimental Theology, and because I was not raised in an especially oppressive religious environment (I was raised by a reform Jewish dad and a lapsed Catholic mom, both of whom were quietly atheist and encouraged critical thinking), I really loved the idea that you could just think up ways about the way the world and God might work and go ahead and try it out.

It made perfect sense to me! If God was just some dude in the sky, then obviously you could talk to him and negotiate with him like anybody else, and if God was some kind of force that permeated the universe and was inside everything, then obviously it was like science and you could experiment with it.

I missed some of the more complex and emotional stuff about the way that religious fundamentalism and oppression affects people, probably, but then again I also took it for granted that the Church was kind of an oppressive institution which forced people to adhere to laws, dogma and socially restrictive policies that were generally about seeking power for the heads of the church and not about the best interest of the people that they governed. So that part wasn't really weird to me, it was just like oh yeah the Catholic Church is a bad guy again okay, that tracks, after all they did do the Spanish Inquisition.

The idea of Dust, an actual physical metaphysical property that collected on people because of their ability to be conscious and self-aware, was a hugely brain rewiring idea for me. I loved the idea that there was something physical and measurable, if not something that humans could observe directly on their own, that corresponded directly to something intangible like the expression of consciousness.

To some extent I kind of do believe that. I conceptualize the energetic body as patterned flows of qi energy, which I see as being similar to your body's plasma. Motes of what Pullman called Dust and which I like to call ergosi/ergosum, individual units of consciousness (from the Descarte saying Cogito ergo sum, or I think therefore I am) are like red blood cells floating in the qi and making it stronger. These ergosi, produced by individual moments of conscious thought, all work together in the body's qi streams to keep the process of consciousness going.

On a personal level, THE ENDING TO The Amber Spyglass WAS BULLSHIT AND MADE ME SAD. THEY CAN'T JUST BE FORCED APART LIKE THAT! FUCK YOU! NOT AFTER ALL THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH! Obviously they managed to get back together the first time they sat on that bench and lived happily ever after in the best parts of their worlds, okay? Yes. Obviously. Good. I'll hit you if you tell me otherwise.

MIRROR IMAGE CHAPTER 20

"A dam holding back hundreds of years of guilt— of pain— of sorrow… It tore down, causing Volo to evacuate from the shelter of their calm and collected facade, and show their true colors.

Pitiful.

Powerless.

Penitent.

That was Volo Ergosum."

Deepak Chopra ha detto che abbiamo 60.000 pensieri al giorno💭. Ma questo significa che pensiamo per davvero? 🙄 Non necessariamente! Ha anche detto che quei 60.000 pensieri sono gli stessi che ho avuto io ieri. Sono gli stessi che abbiamo avuto ieri. O che gli altri NON pensano. La realtà è che l'attività mentale non significa necessariamente pensare. Quando davvero pensiamo produciamo nuove idee. Oppure ci colleghiamo su frequenze da cui otteniamo queste nuove idee. Le idee nuove, che poi applichiamo, sono quelle che cambiano il mondo. I pensieri sono la causa, la nostra vita è l'effetto. Quindi, se vuoi migliorare la tua vita, migliora il tuo pensiero. Pensa di poterlo fare ora. Migliaia di persone hanno già aderito. ⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️ Ecco il link: www.mariadamico.myintergold.com Vieni anche tu?

Al fin el proyecto ¡Basta! Fue financiado por los fondos de cultura del estado. . . El proyecto de Asterión lleva años funcionando y ha congregado a centenares de escritores de distintos países. . . En esta ocasión se lanzaron 3 al mismo tiempo. Subí hace no mucho un post con vídeos de gente leyendo microcuentos, pueden verlo en mi inicio. . . Me faltaría espacio para describir lo genial que fue ese día. Recomiendo mucho intentar conseguir un ejemplar de cada uno. . . . . . . . . . . . #arte #libros #¡Basta! #piabarros #editorialchilena #píabarros #ergosum #tallerdeliteraturacreativa #literaturacreativa #escritor #asterión #asterionediciones #poesía #poesia #microcuentos #microcuentoschilenos #artelatino #artelatinoamericano #escritora #recomiendo #amoleer #proyecto #bastadeviolencia (en CCE Santiago) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzw12-jFvOc/?igshid=15wfpveo6qylv

kato on the cogito ergosum sending forth cube to his crewmates after awaking from cryosleep

[tomatograter]

i love your blog but please tell me what your icon is like ive genuinely wracked my brain. like is it a robot?? what is going on

I get this question every once in a bit so i'm going to tag this one as #icon for quick back-referencing LOL

My icon is a reference to Cube from 1994 super famicon game "Live A Live", the main character of the Mechanical Heart chapter. (Originally, it was themed solely after dirk)

Live A Live's narrative consists of different "chapters" to be completed on a selection screen, each a different narrative and hero on a different time period that culminates when they all have to fight iterations of the same big bad that goes by 'Odio' and unlock the last two secret chapters of the story.

(Spoilers ahead)

Mechanical Heart's chapter follows Cube, a little robot set to wander around a locked transport spaceship called Corgito Ergosum en route to planet earth, carrying a new lifeform. He was created by the team's mechanic, for no stated reason i can remember. Your objective is to talk to the small group of crewmembers and fetch a few objects as the ship begins to malfunction, and the behemoth they're transporting is set loose to hunt the crew down one by one. (It references both the anime Lily C.A.T and the movie Alien, so it's intended as a thriller) If you manage to escape unscathed and don't accidentally die in other ways, you're eventually able to assist the mechanic in figuring out the source of the tragedy at the hands of the ship's Mother Computer (OD-10). She was made to assist the crew in caring for all the needs of the ship and making sure they all returned safe, but after being subjected to their constant discord, infighting and ploys to sabotage one another's relationships, she's convinced that to reach a state of perfect harmony she must eliminate the problem sources one by one. Cube can defeat her by linking up with the motherboard and beating her at her game, but what's done is done.

I have a feeling i don't need to break down how any of that relates to the alpha kids, but it was one of my favorite parts of the game while emulating it on my raggedy ps2 lol
