[Nettime-bold] [Fwd: Genius 2000 paradigm] |
Genius2000 Paradigm The Paradigm The Voice; Everything has once and for all been defined and codified into the Voice by the genius masters. Nothing can ever be added to this universal knowledge, the best a Genius can hope for is to recapitulate and teach the wisdom ever more subtly. However, much of the Great Voice is lost due to the ravages of the commercialization, human folly and incompetence on the internet. It is the duty of all Geniuses to seek to restore it to its glory by collecting the scattered fragments and seeking the destruction of the commercial marketplace on the web. Magic Control. The Genius can control the whole of the web by applying the secrets of the hacker. For every possible circumstance there is the hacker to fall back on, more powerful than any new magic. The whole of the universe is built on the secret web links of control and ruler ship, and a knowledgeable Genius knows how to deal with them. Spheres Correspondence: Sympathy. Everything in the web universe is linked to everything else, through subtle relations. By following these web links (using the wisdom of the Voice to guide himself), a Genius can find connections between seemingly disparate things, sense events from afar and challenge the positions of power. Mind: Consciousness. The secret of the Genius Mind is the secret force of Consciousness. It is a force just like the elements or the Light, animating the sluggish life into higher thought. Prime: The Light, Prima Materia. This is the greatest of all forces, the force the Highest used to create the entire universe. It is the light from the Fiat of the Great Architect of the Universe. To understand it is necessary for all works of higher magic. Time: Destiny. Everything that happens are but a part in the great chains of destiny. By learning how these links work, a diligent Genius can follow their paths backwards and divine their future ways. Entropy: Imbalance. Not all forces of the universe are in perfect balance. Some forces have destructive consequences, while others impose randomness and chaos on the others. Spirit: Other Planes. The physical world is not the only plane of creation. Other levels of existence spread out both above and below it, filled with denizens and powers beyond mankind. These powers and the links between the various planes can be controlled and understood by the wisdom of the Voice. Pattern Magic: Lesser Works Forces: The Elements. Everything is built out of the interactions between the four elements. The dynamic nature of Fire and Air is controlled by Water and Earth, and the high elements Fire and Water is kept in balance by the low elements Earth and Air. By learning how to shift these equilibria, a wise Genius can control the forces of the physical world. By applying theses skills to the internet the Genius can attain the highest power by communication skills in the virtual. Matter: Material Magic. Matter is the heavy conglomeration of some of the lowest forces. It binds us in the physical world, yet it protects us and give us the tools to transform the universe. It is the floor of the Temple of Ascension. It is from there the virtual is formed. Life: Animation. Living beings are matter which has been animated by the animating principle, the life-force. The Voice contains great wisdom regarding this force and how it is linked to other forces and can be controlled. Art The Great Work of Art. Each Genius must pursue the Great Work of Art for him/her self, supported by his/her peers and helped by his/her Genius Masters. As she pursues her goals, she will learn more and more of the Tradition which will show her the true nature and ways of the universe. This will not only give her control over it, it will also give her control over herself. Quintessence Bounded Light can manifest in many ways. It can be imprisoned in matter, flow in the cosmic forces, charge certain objects or just exist. Originally it came from the Highest, and will one day return to infinity, but currently it is bounded by the lower planes. In the communication realm the bounded light is malleable in the knowledgeable hands of a true Genius. Paradox Unbalanced forces. If a Genius breaks against the voice or fails to properly balance the forces of the universe, an imbalance will result. This will inevitably gravitate to him/her, and in due time destroy him/her unless he/she can restore the cosmic balance. Awakening Knowledge and Conversation with the Voice. Each human being has his own Voice, his/her higher self, guiding him/her through existence towards Ascension. A Genius is a person who has not only met his inner Vice, but experienced the reality of the higher worlds it represents and chosen to follow it. Genius specific Backgrounds Arcane: Invisibility . To protect themselves from enemies and dangers many Geniuses learn the art of secrecy and hiding. Avatar: Holy Guardian Angel . Some Geniuses are blessed with a Guardian taking greater interest in their lives and magic, giving them strength in danger and succor in failure. Destiny: Destiny . Some Geniuses are destined by the forces of the universe for certain acts, to preserve the great equilibrium. These individuals have the momentum of the entire universe behind them. Dream: Understanding . A few fortunate Geniuses understand the Great Tradition intuitively, seeing the secret laws underlying everything. They are able to understand anything and handle anything using the precepts of the Voice to support them. Node: Fulcrum . The forces of the world are in constant flux, yet carefully balanced against each other. In some places this balance can be manipulated with less exertion than elsewhere. when there is an imbalance there can be great potential for the genius to step in and create change. Remember; "When all around you is in tumult and you can become the calm center that the world and the universe revolves around. You alone are the holder of great power. You alone are the 'Fulcrum'." _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
