The Not Invented Here Syndrome

January 16, 2026January 16, 2026 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

I’ll kick this off with a statement

–

People are evangelical about the comprehensive nature of their self-diagnosed omniscience.

–

They are convinced that they know best and seek to promote and otherwise sell their approach(es). After all education is a business and bums on seats keep the pennies flowing into coffers. Religion too is a business and the treasuries must be kept full. Politics too is a business. In all of these cash flow is important. Self-marketing is important for livelihood. One must strive for supremacy and market domination.

I have encountered and been repulsed by the not invented here syndrome many times which can be paraphrased,

“We know best, fuck off with your strange and foreign ideas!! We love Status Quo.”

I once met a young man who tried to persuade me that Vajrayana practice was very difficult, like scaling a cliff. It was very hard but promised high gain yet the risks of falling and getting very badly hurt were high. He was showing off a little. I thought to myself, “try the warrior’s path sunshine and that might change your attitude…”

It is all a bit cock wavy. “My path is harder and more macho than yours!”

If you read and consider deeply the aphorism from the rule of the three pronged nagal above you can see that it is not facile or shallow. This insight comes from direct experiential contact with The VOID. It is a part of the inner subjective teachings of the Toltec schema. Perhaps akin by extrapolation to inner Kalachakra.

I have joked that I am a quantum yogi, in a geek-yogi superposition state. As such I am suspected by scientists and suspected by yogis because I not one thing or the other. I am not pure. Like the driven snow I am tainted by other thought forms. Yuk!!

I probably am quite well placed to do a balanced compare and contrast for many different ways of thinking.

Sometimes one needs more than verbatim translation to carry across meaning. People can argue when in fact they are in agreement.

They are just not willing to listen with an open mind and a willingness to find common ground…

The call of the soap box can be irresistible…

Is Knowledge Important ?

January 5, 2026January 5, 2026 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

“ The knowledge economy, or knowledge-based economy, is an economic system in which the production of goods and services is primarily driven by knowledge-intensive activities that contribute to the advancement of technical and scientific innovation. The key element of value in this paradigm lies in the increased reliance on human capital and intellectual property as primary sources of innovative ideas, information, and practices. Organizations are called upon to leverage this “knowledge” in their production processes to stimulate and consolidate their business development. This approach is characterized by reduced dependence on physical inputs and natural resources. A knowledge-based economy is founded on the crucial role of intangible assets within organisations as an enabler of modern economic growth.”

Excerpted from Wikipedia

There are various schools of thought which suggest that in modern times knowledge is a key factor in economic success. That knowledge must be commercially exploitable and can include skills and artisanal know-how. As recent world events suggest, access to natural resources remains of high geo-political importance. Venezuelan oil being an obvious marker.

In my view this schematic is a tad idealistic, it does not mention socio-political barriers and vested interests. One might say that recent changes in US policy have moved away from the notion of a knowledge economy back towards gun boat aircraft carrier diplomacy.

Just like AI has been shown to hallucinate it is a moot point as to whether the so-called AI investment boom is also a group or herd like hallucination among humans. FOMO investments can have bubble-bursts.

The knowledge which has pecuniary value relates only to profit. There is little attention paid to altruistic knowledge. To live only for profit and gain is unbalanced. In the eyes of some there may be more to life and living than that. Not everyone agrees.

One could argue that I am an example of how the so-called knowledge economy failed to make use of a resource. It failed. I failed. Either way I am now retired and doing gardening and DIY.

“You lose what you do not use.”

Is an axiom which has perhaps wide applicability. Knowledge which is not applied and practised can no longer be recalled. The edge of its blade becomes blunted by rust. Slowly like an untended path in the woods it becomes overgrown, deserted and before long nobody remembers that it is there or ever was there. As an older person I have seen how scientific knowledge from many decades ago has to be reinvented because people cannot find it so easily in online search engines. Because search engines are now biased to the fee paying advertiser, much knowledge is now lost in far flung unvisited corners of the internet, there to gather spiders and webs.

It is reasonable to assume that whatever knowledge I may have will die with me. That may not be a great loss but it is an example, of how people may talk a good game. But when push comes to shove knowledge is rarely as important as self-promotion. There is nobody queuing up to learn from me. And by now I am too hermit-like to converse.

There is a danger that human evolution, despite all the advances in technology, is taking a backward step towards a new dark age. An age where image and sound-byte becomes a new Goebbels-reality. An age where short snappy mind numbing mantra replace thought and consideration. An age in which metrics and graphs bury substance and worth in cold clammy tombs. Bullet point thinking is not knowledge and not wisdom.

I think popularity and fame have removed knowledge and wisdom from the mantelpiece above our hearths. Shiny, flashy and chav dominate; viral despite COVID remains a term indicative of success.

It may seem strange but I think that the pool of available knowledge is actually shrinking, it is becoming more standardised and subject to peer approval. Loss of diversity is generally bad for ecosystem; it is an indicator of environmental decline.

I think that genuine knowledge is becoming much less important than claimed or asserted knowledge. The tendency is away from the unfathomable and profound towards the safety of the shallows and the common. I suspect that reputation has become more important than knowledge.

Once diversity has been lost it is very hard to replace. Same is not often best. Clone-think tends to be counter-evolutionary.

Once knowledge has been lost it is not easily restored. Value for money seems to be the main arbiter of which knowledge survives and is nurtured. There is a very short term outlook.

Sometimes we are so stubborn, adamant and omniscient that we can only learn through loss.

Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate

December 5, 2025December 5, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

——————————————-

Le rasoir d’Ockham ou rasoir d’Occam est un principe de raisonnement philosophique entrant dans les concepts de rationalisme et de nominalisme. Le terme vient de « raser » qui, en philosophie, signifie « éliminer des explications non nécessaires d’un phénomène » et du philosophe du XIVe siècle Guillaume d’Ockham.

Également appelé principe de simplicité, principe d’économie ou principe de parcimonie (en latin « lex parsimoniae »), il dispose d’une ancienne formulation :

Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate

(les multiples ne doivent pas être utilisés sans nécessité)

Dans le langage courant, le rasoir d’Ockham pourrait s’exprimer par les phrases : « L’explication la plus simple est généralement la bonne », ou : « Pourquoi faire compliqué quand on peut faire simple ? » Une formulation plus moderne est que « les hypothèses suffisantes les plus simples doivent être préférées (il faut et il suffit) ». C’est un des principes heuristiques fondamentaux en science, mais ce n’est ni un principe de départ ni un résultat scientifique.

Le principe fait appel à une simplicité en termes de nombre d’entités, de concepts ou d’hypothèses utilisés, et non en termes de complexité de leur combinaison, les deux se contredisant généralement : si vous avez une explication d’un phénomène par la combinaison de deux causes séparées, le principe incite à rechercher une cause unique plus profonde qui serait à l’origine des causes préalablement postulées, ce qui donnera finalement, en cas de succès, une construction plus complexe mais avec un nombre plus réduit d’hypothèses.

——————————————-

One of the interesting thoughts for me which pertains slightly to this blog relates to finding an internally consistent and comprehensive explanation as to the nature of the dreams I have had and which are archived in this blog. I would genuinely be interested to hear any explanation from the psychology / psychiatry profession which attempts to explain the scope of them. This specifically so given my prior training as a scientist and current life context as a relatively socially isolated retired person.

Those dreams which appear to point at previous incarnations can be discounted as merely dreams. There is no need to invoke the hypothesis of reincarnation. But saying things are just dreams is a bit of a handwaving dismissal. It is not entirely satisfactory.

Invocation of the single hypothesis of reincarnation renders explanation easier in context and does not require any complicated theorising as to just why or how come I dream about, inter alia, Buddhist themed, dreams. Inherent in this is a difficulty because it suggests that there needs to be some mechanism of transfer of memory between different lives, different incarnations. It raises the question as to what exactly is the nature of the “thing” which not only reincarnates but which is able to carry memory and recollection in the absence of a biological body. The neuroscientist is likely to prefer a brain and perhaps evolving synaptic scaffold construct to explain memory. Such a thing cannot exist beyond the soft wet matter of living humanity. There is no biological or biochemical hypothesis which can account for the notion of memory transfer between lives. The science fiction writer or scientifically inarticulate new-ager might say, “it is all in the DNA”. If it were, it is not facile to explain how “Buddhist DNA” found its way to a small valley in the foothills of Snowdon. Yes my mother when tanned could pass for an Indian especially if she wore a bindi. But the DNA explanation does not really wash. My dad was ginger.

The easiest explanation is to blame an overactive imagination on my part which somehow breaks though during sleep. Perhaps there is a part of my deep sub-conscious which wants to be “special” and thereby invents some new DSM-5 type nocturnal mental disorder, the classification of which could be career enhancing for some psychologist or other. I have a form of delusional psychopathy which may or may not be common. After all who in their right mind would make dreams like mine public? Best kept secret to avoid public gaze. We can come up with the Whacko McNutjob persona.

The fact of the dreams and their recall are, at least to me, real. My speculation is that they are not “common or garden”.

This does not require the invocation of significance. I am just some bloke who happens to dream a lot. No biggie…

Provided that they are not significant there is no wider problem or issue.

If however we invoke, even tentatively, a putative wider significance, a gamut of implications might surface. A similarity to mystical vision and quasi-religious imagery can be drawn. In some circles that is significant in terms of context and perhaps faith. The follow on question might be, “why does someone who, was for a short while, deep in the UK based science community have such phenomena?”. This community being the self-assigned debunker of myths and pseudoscience. “Bah!!”

One could say that weird stuff happens, end of story. It / he is just an anomaly.

The easiest hypothesis is that the hundreds of dreams archived here are all “just some shit that I made up”. The follow on to this is that I must therefore have at least some imagination and persistent inventiveness. One could counter with the deep philosophical argument, “you just can’t make shit like this up!” I am not sure as to what the motive might be for this inventiveness though others could speculate freely. Maybe I am simply an attention seeker. Maybe it is all some big game to make people question the extent and wider applicability of their self-diagnosed omniscience.

For me it is just habit. If I have a dream which I can recall and am lucid in, when I get up of a morning, I type it up in Word. I sometimes make a short note on a post it before typing. There are close to 100 dreams in 2025.

I personally have no strong need to pick an explanation and have that as a definite. A part of the art of dreaming is to enjoy the unknown and the partially or poorly explained.

I can see multiple implications which will almost certainly never manifest. Life circumstance does not support these weekly possible trajectories. There is nothing I can do about it.

I could say something groovy…

The coalescence of the dreaming onto and into the physical plane is not easy. Surprisingly little, though nascent in dreaming, makes it through into the “agreed” and “shared” physical plane realties.

He is just a feckless dreamer, head in the clouds…

Strong Conclusion – Loose Hypothesis

November 7, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

This morning’s dream pointed at a couple of things, the first being that it is unwise to offer any advice to the self-diagnosed omniscient. To do so is a no win situation. The second is that my addled mind seems to recall a number of occasions when I gave advice which was ignored. This advice could have given a “better” more pleasant outcome if it had been heeded. People need to learn. They learn best through personal experience {in theory}. My inclination to advise has been reduced in a semi-permanent stepwise manner.

–

–

As an adolescent I already had differences in outlook to my family. I was very keen on “Monkey” about the journey of a monk Tripitaka. My family disliked this programme. I was a fan.

It is my experience that many express adamant opinions and points of view which they can easily mistake for fact. In some situations decibel count is correlated with degree of imagined fact, the more often you say it, the louder you say it the more it MUST be true. A lot of people conclude, rigidly and dogmatically so, before the forming of a strong conclusion is warranted. I call these concluding kangaroos who are prone to jump from one conclusion to the other.

I have very few, if any, strong conclusions. I have a lot of operative loose hypotheses. They can be used to explain or provide a working narrative for elements of my recollection of life, of my dreams and of measurable physical plane reality. In a sane world our conclusions might depend upon the quality of the data and the observations which we use to conclude from. If our data is sparse, sketchy and our observations few we might have only very weak putative conclusions.

Until about half an hour ago I had one strong conclusion. It was that the dreams in the blog are unusual and maybe unique. It occurred to me that I have no real basis for this, no comparative data. For all I know there could be loads of people out there who have dreams like mine. So I have down graded that from conclusion to a speculation. It seems possible that this speculation is not entirely unreasonable but I have no data set with which to compare.

Based upon measurable Word Press statistics very few people read this blog. I can conclude with a fair level of confidence that this is true. Why would anyone hide the fact they view a free public domain blog? There is nothing overly dodgy herein.

On this basis it is easy to suggest that the wider impact of my life is minimal. It is very likely to remain so. I am powerless to do much about it and certainly not motivated to change this.

Unless the pieces of paper in my medical folders are figments of my imagination I am due an operation in two weeks time. I can conclude with some confidence that this is the current plan. According to what I recall being told I may be in the hospital for ~ 48 hours or less. This is by way of prediction based on prior experience at the hospital.

Aside from these fairly basic things there are a number of explanations or narratives which I consider as loose hypotheses as to a number of “events” or “happenstances” in what my memory tells me may or may not have happened. There is no way of proving these things. I could for example look at an academic publication which has a name on it that matches the one in my passport. I may have been involved in the preparation of that paper or I may be another “Madelaine”.

People like “proof” and certainty where none may, in fact, exist. It is entirely possible that my so called memories are complete fabrication on my part. It is not particularly likely. I can speculate with high confidence that others will recall and interpret these putative happenstances differently. Accuracy of recall and interpretation is moot and subjective.

The current working hypothesis is that I will have an operation, attempt recuperation and then ask for a second operation. We will deal as best we can with whatever transpires and that is about the sum total of what is on the cards for me. The wife has her breast cancer and Myeloma follow ups scheduled before “Christmas” too. By the new year we may have some more data moving forward upon which to formulate.

There is not a lot to conclude about…

Arrogant and Omniscient People Judge Books by Their Covers

The omniscience of “they”, often held in high regard, can with hindsight often be seen to be deeply flawed. This is a mistake that humanity makes over and over and over. People can rely on the “wisdom” of “they”. They are fickle herd animals.

It is impossible to explain to an arrogant adamant person that they are mistaken. You might try but bashing your head against a brick wall repeatedly is unwise.

This morning’s dream has highlighted this theme of “judging a book by its cover”. I recall the face of the person on reception at Nat West Commercial in Kensington when he realised that he had been looking down his nose at me. He was removed from the interaction and a less bell-end person customer relations person looked after me…

Dream Follow Up – 25-09-2025 – Basil Fawlty

September 25, 2025September 25, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

This morning we were in the local French supermarket. There was a Welsh couple there. {We can hear English language a mile off.} Instead of joining the short disabled and pregnant woman check out queue with us. They chose a much longer queue. In case they were challenged for not being spastic or pregnant enough. It was very British, avoid, avoid, don’t make a scene. {Whatever you do.}

I am pretty crippled and if we are challenged we could play the two-cancer joker card for the wife. We will trump you…

I checked up on my flat mate from this morning’s dream. He is now emeritus. His university reported a £30 million deficit last year over 10% of their total budget. It is possible that as part of euphemistic “re-structuring” his expensive subject area was curtailed and he was offered a “package”.

It reminded me of just how crap British people can be in “awkward” situations. When I left Imperial near two decades ago it was very poorly handled. Basil Fawlty and Manuel could have done a much better job. I don’t recall any goodbyes. Nobody gave a heartfelt “sorry to see you go”. Retrospectively it was shit, gauche and indicative of their poor interpersonal skills.

I was on an active research grant at the time. I never got to see the report write up on the grant even though I was named on it. When I mucked about on Research Gate a few years ago I found out that my name was on a published paper. One that I had never seen nor was I aware of. By magic I had written a research paper without knowing it. Elsewhere further commentary was made on me without my having sight of what was written. No doubt they justified this to themselves. I suspect they came up with a “reason” to avoid.

“Don’t mention the war. Don’t mention Alan!”

We watch “First Dates” and when asked at the end of the show if they would go on another date, the so-called heterosexual male in a trial couple often pleads “ladies first” and gets the woman to say yay or nay. This is not very masculine and has a pass the buck mentality. It makes me embarrassed that men behave like this. They should man up and take the risk.

People might be good scientists but they might be poor at being decent human beings. They may have no spine, little courage and lack a pair.

The theme of “making plans for Nigel” has once again reared its head in the dream. People imagine I might like something, might want something. They in their omniscience then forget to ask. They don’t ask me.

How could I possible not be on board with whatever cunning plan they have dreamed up? They after all know best.

“He is bound to like what we have schemed for him…”

Well maybe not…

If people want to behave like arses then it is their prerogative so to do…

Same shit different day, methinks…

Mainstream Thinking – They

September 10, 2025September 10, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

Many find some comfort if their thinking and opinion is shared with others. What the peer group believes and what “they” say can have a very strong influence on individuals. If someone is in a position of authority or power others take on board whatever it is they say no matter how well considered that might be. These days being adamant can be mistaken for being accurate. There are many who are dogmatically insistent. People can gob-off without thinking about consequences.

If you are a big cheese or have power by association you are given air time and taken more seriously. Your words may become gospel.

–

–

It can be important to some to be seen as “right” and to “win” an apparent argument. They can get quite heated.

I have less of a need to agree and comply with mainstream thinking. Technically as a quasi-hermit I do not have a peer group. I do not have to worry about getting cancelled nor about career progression. I have often considered the so called wisdom of the omniscient “they” as flawed.

There is an experiment currently underway in the USA on the propagation of adamant opinion. It will confer quantifiable outcomes.

In principle free speech is a freedom of the democratic “west”. In practice social factors mean that this is not the case. You can lose your job for saying nigger or commenting on the right for Palestinians not to be starved and slaughtered. You can be arrested for calling out murderous bullies. People in frocks and with penises are no longer allowed into ladies toilets. There are many taboos which may not be strictly against the letter of the law, others have been legislated against. Freedom is curtailed. We cannot have anarchy…old chap…

–

–

Peer pressure, the whims of the herd and hive, forbid certain ways of being, of thinking and certain elements of speech. I am not surprised if I am avantgarde and not immersed fully in the norms. I have always had an entrepreneurial orientation. I do things people have not done before. I get balls rolling and break new ground. Whoopee…That is past history and probably over for this lifetime.

You never know who is reading what you publish on this internet thingy. There is always a mild risk of things getting propagated, of people cutting and pasting, using things well out of context. The amount of cut and paste text on things alleging to be spiritual is large. This is a non sequitur. If someone is trying to promote a “spiritual” way of living they probably did not ought to nick stuff, rob it. But hey it is on the internet so it is free, fair game.

I personally am now finding the suggestions of algorithms on some internet platforms very boring and difficult to get past. The use of search engines gets a bigger and bigger waste of time day by day.

I do not type “please show me some paid for advertising or promotion”.

We are, because of these omniscient algorithms, presented with an ever shrinking pool of information and knowledge, suitable for the statistically significant click-sumption as measured by the lowest common denominator of the average “they”. It is yawn-some and sucks the will to live out of life. Before long we will be cloned by Facebook and X into a mind-numbing blob. A blob which does not think nor offend, which lacks any originality. A blob which is adamant of opinion and that arrived at by algorithmic consensus.

The wisdom of they will be monosyllabic and conveyed solely by emoji…

Mainstream thinking will be blob. The future is blob. Long live blob.

Chaotic Mess Dream etc. 05-09-2025

September 5, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

Last night we watched “The Thursday Murder Club” which was enjoyable. I suspect that if I am in some kind of nanna community setting {soon?} I might well get involved in any protest. Somehow I might end up on some kind of committee.

Last night I had a series of dreaming snippets that went at rollercoaster speed. They were on a recurrent theme of MESS, massive messes made by others which somehow how pertain to me. They are not my messes to solve. Multiple people once acquainted to me are involved, they created these messes because of their behaviour to me. They have not treated me well and done stuff behind my back which cannot be undone. They have showed me a lack of respect. They have bad mouthed me in one way or another.

The snippets were so fast that I did not make significant effort to recall them.

–

–

Somehow I do not the fit the mould of behaviour I am supposed to. I am not as they imagine someone with my background {reincarnations included} to be. People invariably judge a book by its cover.

The thing is “spiritual” and karmic messes cannot be solved via traditional wheeler-dealer-itchy-back-toady-cash-position-bribery games. Sorry does never unpick karmic debts. But people might imagine that the normal playbook always applies. They are mistaken.

In the Tibetan tradition it is customary to approach a high lama for blessings and to have them place a white silk-like khata scarf over your head. This is considered auspicious and the offering, in both directions, must be made with respect, compassion and purity of motive.

In our what-is-in-it-for-me day and age, purity of motive is as rare as a rare thing on the 29^th of February.

The dream was so chaotic and disordered, with people imagining that they could blag it, wing it and generally go through the motions and “get away with it”.

People try to use the same strategies and behaviour that gets them into messes as a way to extract themselves from said mess. This is not a sane or wise approach. But you cannot advise the omniscient in any meaningful way.

They know best after all…

They are insistent on repeating their folly over and over.

Omissions in the Blue Books Opus

August 29, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

If you have swung by the blog from time to time you will be aware that I have read what I call the Blue Books opus written by Alice Bailey and Djwhal Kuhl. The idea being that the transfer of content was by some form of telepathic mind-dump from Kuhl. You may also be aware that I comment of self-diagnosed omniscience suggesting that such a diagnosis is at best premature. I am pretty sure that many a “scientist” imagines that there is not a lot beyond his or her ken. And anything which is, is probably made up shit so not real. Most physical scientists, me included, can get a gist-grasp of the standard model of cosmogenesis. Few would accept that it is possible to talk with the Korrigans down by the river. Were I to claim such a thing then I must adopt my Whacko McNutjob persona. For some, things “beyond ken” is a DNC, a does not compute, it can mean imaginary or fantasy.

–

–

Not everyone has a closed mind.

In the opus Kuhl suggests that during initiation the matter of the physical vehicle for the incarnated being is adjusted by the application of a wand or rod of initiation. The detail provided is sketchy and the nature of the forces involved ill explained. In order for the indwelling consciousness to evolve the vehicle needs a kind of upgrade to enable. This suggests that lifetime after lifetime for an initiate the vehicle need to be boosted and upgraded. A third degree initiate must therefore suffer or receive the first and second upgrades before the third, each life time. This is implied but not specified.

The opus discusses little about what happens when the incarnating Jiva is not in meat. He does not dwell on the intermediate or Arupa formless state. He says that many of the masters have no need of form so they “exist” without form {for aeons}. Philosophically it is interesting to note that the entire notion of physical time implies matter. Is immaterial time different, can it too be measured with an atomic clock? The implications is that time out of meat is “longer” than time in meat, measured in planet earth days.

What are the discarnate rules? Who is in charge? What happens, what occurs? What does one experience?

Kuhl is very scant on the abilities of initiates and masters for perhaps a number of motives. One of these being the problems caused by over active imaginations and another being that he does not want to show off or list. Similarly he touches on the abilities of the dark adepts but does not formally discuss the black ritual magic they apply. In a global clarity based view there is no need for specific clarity details unless to convey a particular thought form with example. He also does not want dangerous knowledge falling into the wrong hands.

He mentions the Sanat Kumara in whose thought form, the planet Earth, those of us who are as yet meaty, abide. The scope of a being able to envision a planetary scale must be vast. Way bigger than a white bearded dude on a cloud with his tackle hanging out. Such a notion must be by definition beyond a human ken. The dream of the Sanat Kumara is the dream in which we live and have our being.

If it is beyond your ken does that mean that it cannot be real?

The implication being that if you are messing with a Sanat Kumara, you are considerably out of your depth and “he” could enact something of a global or plate tectonic scale. The Richter scale would not have sufficient dynamic range. We have seen the impact of a “minor” tsunami at Fukushima. A subducting plate could easily produce large amplitude motions.

Without six sigma proof many would deny that such a being as a Sanat Kumara exists.

One of the main things that Kuhl omits is the growing human obsession with this notion of proof. Philosophically it is clear to see that in an absence of theorem proof does not exist. Therefore proof is an entirely mental construct. A construct which is manufactured by humans and therefore as equally impermanent as they are.

The world Kuhl describes in his work with Bailey is a pre-1960s world. That world has change vastly. There has probably been more change in the last 65 years than perhaps in the millennium before. Whatever he discussed was based upon the scope of human knowledge then. It has changed since. The arrival of Zoom and Teams has rendered the need for telepathic communication obsolete.

Humans have always been arrogant about how much they know. Generation after generation that confidence in the completeness of their own knowledge has been seen to be ill-founded. Kuhl does not speculate in detail how things might change in the sixty odd years after his opus. He does speculate on the nature of reincarnation and the externalisation of the so-called hierarchy. His blueprint is a best guess snapshot for how things were then. It is accurate to say that things have changed. Some truths however are immutable.

The work, the opus, is comprehensive. To my mind, the mind that could hold and verbalise that has to have scope and prowess, an intellect of considerable capacity.

What Am I Dealing with Here?

July 25, 2025July 25, 2025 ~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

One of the difficulties I have found is that there is no way of giving someone the heads-up that they might be dealing with something a little unusual {me} in a way which they can take on board and not find weird. Whenever I have tried people have not taken me seriously. They think, it seems, that they already know what they are dealing with. They imagine that I can be easily managed. When something slightly odd happens or I behave in an unexpected manner, they are surprised. There is no point in saying , “I told you so”.

A long time ago in a Maasai village the soon to be head man and trained up proto-village shaman guessed that I would not flinch when he demonstrated a war club stopping very close to my head for the rest of the tourists. He spoke good English having been to school in London. Later he invited me to stay in his hut and at the village whenever I pleased because he sensed the shamanic connection between us. I was welcome as a brother. At the time I was a young lecturer in physical chemistry at Imperial College. He did not know that and in the context, it was wholly irrelevant. We were having fun; our eyes were singing.

People make assumptions and judge a book by the cover all the time. Here I know that I have been “read” by several “witches” and they know that I know that they have read me.

Following on from the dream this morning the Jaguar Shamans are an anthropological fact and were put forward for UNESCO consideration.

I am fairly confident that were I to observe / participate in some kind of ritual I could probably follow what was going on and refrain from either scoffing or shitting my pants. If some anthropomorph arrived I would not be surprised.

It might be hard to reconcile this with skill and ability in using femtosecond Ti: Sapphire pumped parametric oscillators. There is no contradiction in me.

There is a tendency for people to pooh-pooh things which they know little about and certainly do not understand. Strangely the more clever people deem themselves to be, the more likely they are to pooh-pooh, which is mildly illogical. I have mentioned premature omniscience as a recurring theme.

People can be overly confident that they know what they are dealing with when they have next to zero idea. They can blunder in, try to blag their way out and make a complete arse / tit / wanker of themselves. They may not even notice, imaging that they got away with it. Whatever that means.

I have mentioned the shoe-horn of ought and should, this is the tool by which people stretch their confirmation biases to fit evidence which might be a bit iffy for a fit to their bias. I’ll wager that were I to take someone alone out into the woods at night and light a campfire, I could alter their perception as the hours went by. Just before dawn, my hour of power, I could freak them out, no matter how utterly rational they imagined themselves to be. I can howl in a manner which alters.

People can over estimate their knowledge, skills and scope of understanding. The phenomenon of arrogance is common, that arrogance can get people into trouble.
