This planet is spiraling through space. We have never been where we are, and we will never be here again.
The thorns and poisons you clasp fast must be put down. This is the new day and the new place.
You may be called upon. There may be a knock at the door. Empty your hands so that you may open it.

Postage fees are skin in the game. "Postage and printing is expensive" is countered by "how much is your time worth?" Going through tens or hundreds or thousands of emails / app messages is free, as far as money cost. Is your time also that without value?
That's part of why some members of the Church of the SubGenius maintain the ink-on-paper sent-via-via post traditions.
One dollar per month = a quarterly magazine mailed anywhere in the world... PRAISE "BOB" !

First there was film, then there were films with sound, and those were called "talkies." Then talkies became the norm, and films without sound were called "silent."
I don't know the vocabulary yet for sculptures that have sound.

@npub1juy…uxwr You can try less remembering, or SubGenius memory editing, and see if that includes some less worrisome states.
We have to remember what to tell other people so we don't seem "crazy." But what we tell ourselves, about ourselves, that's a wide-open territory. You can, starting today, make up a past more to your liking. The other past doesn't go away, nor the now, but - neither do you, the you preferred by you. That you doesn't go away either.
Practice compassion always.

@npub1kd6…w72f Walter Alter has been a friends since the 1980s. He says that one of the DIY methods of television is the multi-screen array. Many screens at the same time, to train the brain to take in more information as a whole. This thread has a couple excerpts from his essays, but the basic idea is one you can try today: two or more tvs, sound about equal, different signal sources, go.

There's a level of wealth the likes of you and I aren't aren't aware of, because those people are wealthy enough to pay to stay off the Most Wealthy People lists.
But as far as the top ten known most wealthy people, not one of them owe their wealth to being an arms merchant. Go back even a few generations and this was not the case.

As software creates the content then other software reviews the content then other software publishes the content then other software analyses the reception of the content which feeds back to make the creation of the content more popular, we get closer to the point where mortal beings can be left out of the cycle completely. Once we've shed ourselves of content we can work on abandoning language.

Is there smoke in my house? If the smoke is moderate, I will stay; if it is excessive, I go out. For you must always remember this and hold it fast, that the door is open. [...] If I am so unlucky, death is a safe harbor; and death is the safe harbor for all. It is the place of refuge. For this reason not one of the things in life is difficult: as soon as I choose, I go out of the house, and am troubled by smoked no more.

I heard of a man in the third day of his abstinence from food. I went to inquire what had happened. "I have resolved to starve," he said. I said tell me what it was which induced you to resolve. If you have resolved rightly, I will sit with you and assist you to depart. But if you have made an unreasonable resolution, change your mind.

Most ghosts are pretty self-content. They come and go, they don't mind a day / century of just observing the world go by. Providing a welcome home for them is nice, but don't take it personally if they don't make it known to you that they are settled in.
You can't ever get rid of all the ghosts, but the worst ones can be banished and the rest can just kind of hang out and take care of themselves.

You know how adding scorpion chili powder, or soap, or arsenic, to any dish makes it "stand out?"
It's just the same with being a SubGenius. ANYTHING that is done or said by a SubGenius "stands out" from the rest. It's special because it's US that did or said it, no matter how mundane.

@npub1dwj…4hyu Intrusive thoughts are difficult for anybody. Whatever is successful for you in this regard, I'm for it. Something that other people have tried...
Treat those voices like an audition where the actors come on stage and say their lines, but they are not the director. You are the director. The auditions don't stop, and you don't stop being the director, either. You are the one making choices about those thoughts. "Okay, thanks... next!"
