Now that Cosmolosophy has three meaning spaces with which to work with, we can now show how the mechanism for a "new technology sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from magic," but for which we simply haven't found a name for yet, we can link things together from other phenomena to see that hypnosis was only a small example of what translating across meaning spaces might be able to accomplish.
In my opinion, hypnosis uses both sides of the elemental divide, but is centered primarily on the Father Fortress side. Messages are possible, however, with bigger inputs from the Mother Earth side, which can add a significantly larger aspect to how change can be initiated; which would certainly seem logical seeing as how much that automatically encompasses a good deal of Physical Meaning space.
The problem then becomes how one gets one's head around, much less utilizes, the codec of Body Meaning space. I, for one, am thankful that is still a problem, but rest assured, it will not remain one indefinitely.
That being said, however, doesn't change the fact that we still ought to take this idea very seriously. Why you might ask?
This is because of our old friend Mr. Murphy again. You know the drill here: if it can happen, it will happen, eventually. Which is to say that some people might simply stumble into (as I have stumbled upon many things in the past) into any of the many, possible, sudden "muscle memory" insights that let them do things with both sides as a kind of savant absorption. And let me be reiterate here, this has happened to me so I know it is more than just possible.
It would take a big roll of the big improbable dice (I like to think of metaphoric die the size of multiple galaxies, with as many sides as there are atoms there) to get things to come up just right certainly, for big "not very probables;" but things have already been going quite a while now, and you never know when the improbable might happen. And I worry that it will happen to charismatic, creative people first because they are both more susceptible to "greater connections" across multiple meaning spaces, and also because they are so much more able to actually make use of such greater descriptive/communicative constructs in the first place.
As such, society must learn to be very careful with charismatic, creative people.
On the one hand we absolutely need them to help solve the complex problems to come. On the other hand they can be quite dangerous, because they can literally alter reality without being aware of it (or in the not so distant future manipulate it with cold calculation) even more so than the rest of us, because we all have the potential ability to use "Mega Message."
Without even realizing it, the charismatic, in utilizing Mega Message, puts that retrovirus, meaning re write, into the identity/meaning matrices of what are now turned into true believers in a very disturbing new way. First, it somehow turns off a kind of switch in the believers that leaves them not wanting to make their own meaning choices any more; for now they have a perceiver to do that for them. That's bad enough, of course, but then, because the charismatic is now "the one," they pour back into him meaning energy they were once pushing out into existence to keep their own frame of reference. That energy coming back at the charismatic forms a mega message of its own; and this is where it gets very, very, dicey.
I think of this when I think of people like Jim Jones (one could also think of others like Rasputin, or Charles Manson, who were already probably pretty well messed up in the head meaning wise, but who, nevertheless, could still wield the gift in one way or another).
I'd like to think that he started out a decent enough fellow. Someone who had the gift, though, to a significant degree when it comes to charisma and creative expression. Then he meets up with others who may not have the greatest of meaning systems already in place (which is quite understandable in a Capitalist society), and who are probably just as decent a group of folks as well starting out. But the two together? Just think about it.
He's sensitive to a number of things, sees that things aren't quite right, comes up with a formula that starts to make sense to him and, as he begins to talk about it, attracts, and is attracted to, people with weaker meaning systems. The more he talks, the more they listen, and the more they become changed, without hardly even realizing it.
It's not clear to me if there is anything more than just "acknowledgement" in that believer message coming back to the charismatic; acknowledgement taken way, way too far; or whether there may also be other, more subtle subtexts involved, to sway things one way or the other, as far what characterizes this output of change force. The one thing that is clear, though, is that it hits the charismatic with a change in his or hers meaning/identity matrix that they cannot avoid, or necessarily defend themselves against. After that it is anybody's guess as to what the outcome might be.
They might become a monster, or they might become their idea of Christ; which, depending on your point of view, and how the individual in question conceived of Christ in the first place, might still be a monster anyway. This might be especially true if the particular "Christ Manifestation" in question came into begin at the most inopportune moment for a particular set of physical space circumstances; something that might be characterized as trying to do the right thing at the wrong time.
In any case, though, the leadership community of this nation needs to start taking our new operating environment a good deal more seriously as it regards what it used to call Propaganda. They need to do this, of course, because it's "whole new ballgame now baby." And sooner than you might think, if we don't kill ourselves in the meantime, some folks are going to be swinging magic bats.
The first line of defense is to know that a vulnerability exists. The next is to try and figure out countermeasures. And in the latter regard, the first one to establish is simply to pre innoculate folks with their own, personal, very strong meaning systems. The stronger those are, the harder it will be for a Mega Message to work a presto-word-o-giga-wiggly, digi-tactilization, of message manipulation. My hope is that just knowing about Cosmolosophy, and using it to your personal needs (changing it as you need to) will fill that need. Or at least it will be a good place to start preparing a better antiviral message. Either way works for me.
