Once in a lifetime opportunity take it! Some one liners that sum up so much that could take years to discover if ever at all!! highly recomended.Best Deals for Cognition Factor
Waaaaay back in the prehistoric, primordial soup ofthe early INTERNET, in an out of the way electromagnetic
watering hole called USENET, Schwann Cybershaman entered
a previous millennium's virtual nexus of survival-of-
the-weirdest -where only the wisest could safely
navigate the inverted, natural selection process inherent
to myriad, multidimensional NEWS GROUPS -to somehow
survive, grow, and flourish like an evolved, cybernetic
avatar mutated from the Corpus Callosum of Marshall
McLuhan's THE MEDIUM IS THE 'MASSAGE.' Fast forward to
the current Millennium, and Mahatma 'Michael Kawitzky'
breaks out of his 'Schwann Cybershaman' persona to
digitally orchestrate a nice fusion of Left Cerebral
Hemisphere articulate verbal language and structured
sequential logical hypothesis, married to Right Cerebral
Hemisphere visual fractal synthesis trippy organic
pixelated expanding NOW synaesthesia. This intellectual
orchestra is composed of twenty unique individuals who
are assembled to consider the following five questions:
1.) Evolution Or Extinction?
2.) What Is Consciousness?
3.) Is God A Myth?
4.) The Fusion Of Science & Spirit?
5.) What Happens When You Die?
Rather than list these extraordinary 'talking head'
personages simultaneously alive, dead, and permanently
transitioned to a hyper-dimensional realm of
chrysanthemum wielding machine tykes, it might be
interesting to check out a brief synopsis of
'Cognition Factor' by Propaganda Anonymous, over at
Daniel Pinchbeck's Reality Sandwich...
And/or a visit to the site: [ COGNITIONFACTOR.NET ]
of Mike Kawitzky, (aka Schwann Cybershaman), himself.
Better yet, just buy the damn thing and enjoy it!
On a more personal note, I'll just add that it was
wonderful to see/hear the late, great, Terence McKenna,
looking like he was speaking from inside Plato's Cave,
and his brother Dennis, sounding like an inter-
dimensional, parallel universe genetic clone.
I'm looking forward to Mike Kawitzky's future projects,
hopefully including a 3D, HD, surround sound immersive
virtual reality feelie! Or, as penned by me to
no-one-in-particular, circa late 1990's:
"I once had a phone conversation with Mr. Terence
McKenna about 'True Hallucinations.' Several years
ago when I was just leaping into multimedia and
digital graphics, my matriculated hope then was to
create a real-time animated VR simulation of what I
referred to as the 'Hollow Knots,' i.e. the imagery
behind the optic nerves elicited by the mushroom.
(Incidentally, I can count my life-experiences of
the 'Hollow Knots' on one hand). My contention based
on my 'HK' experience was that the psychedelic imagery,
when it is perceived directly without the filter of
human interpretation and the ordering into recognizable
objects, themes and patterns, will stand out as being
identified most accurately as neuro-biochemical
phenomena within the nerves themselves, which says more
about the structure of the brain/body matrix than it
does about any parallel, objective, external reality.
He replied that that may well be true, but there was a
great deal more going on with the psychedelic experience
than just 'visual,' optic nerve feedback. He stressed
the magnitude of internal awareness and insight gathered
in such biochemical states.
I, of course, sensibly, conceded this latter observation.
The triune nature of the brain must have some bearing on
all this, thought I. Perhaps an effective enough VR
simulation in it's own right, without psychedelics,
could elicit such inner states of awareness? The notion
of psychotronics, digital imagery and animation seemed
like a reasonable course. Maybe my natural, aesthetic
interest in such things though as one who looks
'inward' for visual mysteries precludes my ever seeing
anything 'outward,' such as an unusual craft piloted by
unusual entities hovering over my house in the twilight
hours? Hmmmm.... Time will tell. In the meantime, I'm
putting off the DMT experience in-a-possible-future,
indefinitely, pending future developments; although,
I do enjoy hearing about other's psychonautic journeys."
In closing, I applaud Mahatma Kawitzky's fine achievment;
and make no mistake, 'COGNITION FACTOR' is not some
retro-aging Hippy's pseudoscientific, psychedelic video
extravaganza, but, rather, an enormously fun, inventive,
and beautifully stimulating contemporary analysis of the
aforementioned five timeless questions, intelligently
pondered by a wide ranging, eclectic mix of 20 human
nervous systems on the evolutionary verge of something
deeply profound and moving. Required viewing for all
'Ultraterrestrials-in-training' everywhere. --MT07JUL09
