Fog of Words


Listen to a free discussion on Notes on the Spectrum: Three Leaps Ahead

No word is better than another. In my experiment, no chapter is the beginning nor the ending. The entire opus should be approached as a fog, a cloud, a hurricane of letters streaming from my mind to the page to your mind through your eyes and ears. What word sticks out? What chapter or book seems like the beginning?

The idea is: you get to make it up. I’ll provide the map, the content, the blur of blinding lights, the flashes of brilliance and destruction, the threads of family trauma woven into each of the characters. Oh, the characters.

“I” the narrator. Blurring the lines from writer, narrator, subject, and object. Where does the fiction part of the story enter the equation of letters? What parts are left out? Enhanced? Made up? It’s a house of mirrors, letters sentences and cosmic concepts swizzled around in one human mind to another. This is a transmission. I am reaching out.

Some will parse the architectural challenges and find the garden of eden within; the genesis of hyperfiction and non-linear interactive storytelling. Hello and welcome.

The moments are never lost on our minds. You too are recording events at a high level. It’s probable that you are not paying close attention to life streaming across the cave wall you can see. We think we are unique. After reflection, we learn we are the same. With a little spiritual magic, we move beyond physical barriers to learn with glee, We Are One.

hyper-dive: Perplexity digs into “we are one” and “fear god” as supporting concepts: Why would Christan’s be against the phrase “we are one?

I do not agree with much of the Christian doctrine. I do believe in God. It’s the holy trinity, the holy spirit, holy ghost, burning bush stuff that I’m not clear on. And Jesus basically said, my way or the highway, and I’m not fond of that idea.
