THE MAIN CHAIR

Le Space, Collingwood

Timber which would have otherwise gone to landfill, has been given a new life. Seen here with our dear friends High Note, Northcote for the Q&A chair.

The Life-Force is the greater logic we overlook
by our blind ethics.
FUTURE CAVE
with Joost Bakker
A careful naturalist will understand much from the voices of the animals she has studied long. Even a child knows the difference of a cat’s miauling and purr-ing. The faculty may be greatly developed. 


The failures in life
become the manure in death.








The real, or ‘as if’, with unsuitable substitution leads only to instability through dissatisfaction.



Brain Currents 
Business capacity may be stimulated. Abnormal states of the body may be corrected, and the involved tissues brought back to tone, in obedience to currents started from the brain.




A.O.S.

To see ourselves with our eyes open, that is the problem, and to explore our ultimate participations now embedded deeply in layer upon layer of extraneousness: nothing is beyond recall.
Figure 1:

Figure 2:





The subconscious energies that pervade the mind-stuff of humanity are known to the Children of Maat as the Forgotten Ones.  
There is no Ultimate: everything becomes from what has gone before, because of changing ultimates determined by our valuation of things.


The Life-Force is the greater logic we overlook by our blind ethics.






The proper creation or formulation of a magical universe
Times, Spaces, Dimensions
The subtle antennae of the Tree (our psycho-sensory apparatus) will indeed fold into a sphere compact of all times and spaces simultaneously. The sphere will diminish to a dot, a bindu, a title which will vanish utterly, and that which remains will be No Thing. But it is the work of each individual so to cultivate those antennae that they respond to the slightest vibration from those ‘other’ times, those ‘other’ spaces, those ‘other’ dimensions that are in very truth Herself.


The projection of it on to the plasmic mirror-substance of the Outer


The successful installation of the Adept as the centre of his universe






The reality we know is interconnected with the unseen by some design of thought we have yet to know.
            All thoughts are presupposed from other suppositions that have reality in a differential of Reality: otherwise there would be an irreflexive unalterable zero plus zero.


Prof. George Bruno
