Distributed Events Revisited

From Tikkun Kelim: ( http://s3nt.com/b24 )"lest we construct some unified tellurian theory that blinds us to ontological reality..."

I've been looking at another factor that may dictate temporal viscosity when synchronizing the effects of non-local manifestation. Heidegger talks a bit about lethe, the nothingness behind being in philosophical terms. The confrontation with nothingness in many ways allows each individual to express their nature, but I think there's a larger ontological implication here as well.

In my experiences, places on the outside of the Cluster, the continuum of our reality, tend to have a tinny, empty feel to them. These are the places where chaos and wild magics are free to warp and change the 'rules' at will. In places where reality is stable, I find that there is history - a braid of ongoing local family dramas in many cases - that keeps things both stagnant and yet reliable. I believe this is because of lethe, the essence of the human soul and its memories, or as Aikeena put it, "the breakdown of information and identity."

Where people live, lethe accumulates. Lethe can build up with deadly consequences, the most visible symptom of which is inner city crime or chronic sectarian strife. Also, when stagnant, as in a small town with a great amount of history, lethe can prop up repressive social orders. It is the force which conceals our biases and denial from us, and which allows us to continue living despite unbearable pain.

This is the primary reason that synchronicity is not instant and in my opinion, the largest factor in determining the temporal viscosity of an area.



I'm responding to this previous post because it seems to be the all-time most popular post on my blog. Might as well write about what people want to read, eh?

The wiki has been updated with some stubs (for the partzufim and some of the practices) until I have time to properly wikify them (as I did with Lethe).
