Hello Fellow Workers and Quantum Advisors! 
I write this to you in the midst of flood, sleet, and hail warnings in my part of the globe.
Much mental-pacing back and forth about whether to share this here as potential material worth working through and strengthening has ensued, until finally screaming at myself that enough was enough! Most of my lessons in the last few months have been about letting go of what I am willing to accept as possible/relevant about precisely what situation we humans have sleepwalked our ways into and What To Do About It Now. I am struggling to trust my intuition that despite my very “green” status with regards to a level of knowledge and being needed to view reality objectively and work from a permanent ‘I,’ that it is worthwhile to work toward contributing now - as I work to grow.
After all, the present “heightened” cosmic activity is clearly well underway regardless of (or in correlation with) where we all are on an individual level (thanks to SOTT, I have been able to feel that the sorting of this information is not insurmountable, and I can apply it “step by step,” as the C’s say). I feel the pull to help, and I have been searching myself for ways in which this tiny cog might be able to be of service.
This is what I currently have to offer, and if it has any value to it whatsoever I could really use your smarts and guidance to help make it the best it can be. I humbly desire any criticisms and critiques (particularly with regards to internal logic and clarity of the text), if your time allows. It is crucial to me that my ‘work’ reflects consistency with reality as we best are able to grasp it currently, or else think it better to remain silent and focus on learning and soaking it in. It appears quite obvious that the folks that work ‘round here have the ‘grasp of objective reality’ market pretty well cornered. It’s an honor to learn from you.
My intro (http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=22336.0) mentioned my band and some of what we are trying to accomplish so I won’t rehash it here, however some background is probably needed regarding the forthcoming album/direction we are headed to provide a bit of context. I do not expect most people to be interested in parsing though everything I am putting up here, but I am providing as much as I can in an effort to be thorough.
Here is how I hope to be of service:
*Though time is short, I sense that I have arrived in Brooklyn, NYC doing what I am doing for some reason. As my eyes have been peeled back as to the ‘terror of the situation,’ a music project has unfurled with a small but dedicated and contributing viewership (50-100 ppl typically check out our live shows in the area, 900 more are with us online). We are interested in routes toward losing the ego (or as I have come to better understand since Gurdjieff: the false personality), and reclaiming art as community service in which the outcome is not “a gift from the artist,” but rather a group learning experience. If reality looked like I thought it did my whole life, to arrive here would be an absolute dream. Now, however, to retreat from the life I built up in this city in this country seems a dream and I have caught myself fantasizing about it a lot recently. To have realized all that I have sooner may have put me on a farm out of the U.S. with my girlfriend growing our own veggies - just dedicated to learning and meditating. That is, however, not how this has played out. Still, flight strikes me as a cop out – as ducking out on the film before the climax as opposed to seeing it through with full force and as best as can be executed. 3D thinking. Thus, my brow is furrowed and I am determined to step up to the plate and be the person the universe requires of me. This tiny little project needs to be oriented toward the objective of growing the level of being of those that contribute to it, as well as actively pursuing the objective of spreading Truth and tools as widely as possible and as “Now” as possible. It is all I see to do.
*The album we are about to release could potentially reach a fairly large audience (if all cards are played right), and we intend to use it to share these ideas. Most of the songs revolve around two or more shifting subjective perspectives and paradigm changes – ‘make it or break it’ moments. It is our hope that they could serve in allowing the listener/’experience-er’ to question their own level of subjectivity and work toward breaking patterns of mechanization. Our performance of this material is directed toward this activity in ourselves.
*Further, we envision the live concert experience as being potent ground for generating Temporary Autonomous Zones within oppressive culture-at-large as well as directed group efforts toward consciousness. Sound and movement (dance) are obvious as being integral to the success of this activity. We have been, and intend to continue to experiment in this direction. Given information from the C’s regarding the ‘ancient technology’ of dance and the important role it might play in an STO future, this seems to be a necessary area of serious inquiry and physical exploration. I have only recently been tuned into this line, and intend to review all the research provided here in full. It is clear that this sort of technology MUST be linked to level of being of those that practice it (techno-SPIRITUALITY), as the C’s stated, but does this mean that this sort of activity should only prove beneficial if ‘elders’ execute it? How about a room of 100 or so individuals sincerely attempting to orient themselves to an STO wavelength? How about if it is practiced in large social settings in which fun is had by all, but those that can utilize it for potent purposes form smaller groups to practice regularly? Any trustworthy links outside of the forum and videos of The Dance of Tsakonia from the C’s sessions pages that anyone has on this topic would be devoured.
*Next, we intend to supplement the above material with a series of videos with varying aims: As a dissection of ‘WIGO (what is going on),’ to document experiments, and to offer ‘Physical Maps of Understanding:’ videos based on symbol/archetype/mythology which can be explored in the live show context as well as in one’s daily life. These first two early rough tests are here:
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob0qNOXrgrE
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeyOl2lL-8U
*Finally, through a text intended as an organizing “cosmology” of the album/videos/participatory performances, which attempts to bring the project into an ‘As Above So Below’ context. I want to make sure this text is as in line with what Laura, Ark, the QFG, SOTT, FotCM, and you all on the CassForum have researched, uncovered, and organized. I am reading/revising as fast as I can!
These four aims (as well as more, as we learn and keep our eyes peeled) will take place over the course of this year, for as long as…well, as long as I am able to continue such activity or am drawn to the way in which I can better be of service. I do worry about the dangers posed to those that express these ideas in widely public forums, so a lot of recent thought has been put into the idea of protection and I appreciate any advice any of you may have regarding this topic. I am not receding into fantasy about the “Importance Of My Role” or any nonsense (and I intend to remain vigilant). I simply want to help in whatever small way I can, and know that a first step towards these ends entails sharing my mind and receiving feedback.
Full disclosure: I am the only member of the band that has read any of the Cassiopaean Material. They know about it and are curious, but haven’t yet taken the plunge. My girlfriend and I are the only two people we know that have read any of it (aside from Ennio, Brainwave, and those we met at our one EE program visit, with intent to return when schedules allow). The band’s aims I outlined were arrived at through honest searching, and are shared by every member (save the ‘Dance Technology’ aim, although the other guys are quickly coming around to the potency of the signs around this topic). I cannot claim that they will ever share the full worldview I have arrived at (largely due to the work of Laura and Ark et al), but these few people in my life, these co-workers and dear friends, are not going away and my repeated lessons in patience, vigilance, and how to serve the ones I love have all pointed toward exponential growth of all involved. One friend is researching genetics/chemistry/biology/quantum mechanics, one friend just found Gurdjieff, all are seeing the value of watching what is happening on a cosmic scale (A recent band activity was a Super Moon viewing), and I keep getting questions about EE (I suspect/hope we will have a few converts soon). My girlfriend and I are dedicated to challenging each other on The Fourth Way and are moving quite along. I have never felt so thankful for another being. She is my constant rejuvenating and inspiring force. The two of us are really trying to form a small community that can serve and challenge one another, and each day brings new developments. The section about PaleoChristian communities in the Mission Statement of FotCM has been quite an inspiration.
I offer for review/critique/general perusal the ‘alchemic text,’ as well as our first single Shooter, some lo-qual live concert versions of other album songs, and the first two videos in the project as supplemental material. Again, any review/comment about this stuff is much appreciated, and will only serve to strengthen the final result. We are still recording the album, so unfortunately all of the corresponding tracks to each segment of text are not present. However, if there is interest I would love to share the rest of the album as it is finished.
Note on the text:
The “main characters” of the text have obvious correlations (The Goldsmith ~ The C’s/6th density STO, Neuro-Gnats ~ Greys, etc), and this was largely part of our mythology before I discovered the C’s. After taking the plunge, I reworked some things in an attempt to strengthen the relationship. I really want this to be internally consistent, so please let me know if any of it is fuzzy/misleading/downright wrong.
The album layout is veeeerrrry loosely inspired by Sean Carroll’s multiverse model presented in his book From Eternity to Here:

http://www.amazon.com/Eternity-Here-Quest-Ultimate-Theory/dp/B0043RT8EK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300955734&sr=8-1
as well as various ideas from quantum theory and electric universe theory. All tracks span out from a ‘Zero Point’ black hole at the center of the album, surrounded by a quantum ring of probability (the middle triad of 9 tracks, which is intended as an exploration of Everett’s Many Worlds model), over which flow two arrows from the ‘Zero Point’ acting as mirror images of each other forwards and backwards in time (the outer two triads of Alchemic Descent and Alchemic Ascent). Allow me to clearly admit that my strongest most reaching grasp of these cosmic ideas are amateur at best. Their expression here is, in fact, my attempt AT grasping these things, so please do not take offense if these are way off. Could any interested individual who has much more authority in this area give me any sort of “colder-warmer” barometer for how on target and clearly formulated these elements are?
Also, it was my desire to draw from an alchemic text framework with the outcome being a sort of rudimentary meditative breathing exercise. I understand this as the least developed aspect. Luckily we have EE! I still wonder: could the song - color correspondences/alchemical references be organized in such a way for some practice to actually be gleaned? Any corrections on use of the symbols of alchemy or suggestions as to how to develop the breathing aspect would be so greatly appreciated. To be clear, since I began practicing EE it is the only program I use and have been recommending to others. I mostly desire this text to bring out the importance of breathing to inner growth and offer some baby steps toward that goal.
Lastly, the ‘Triad’ set up of a 9 track album strike me as an opportunity to explore the Fourth Way idea of A, B, and C influences, of Thinking With A Hammer. This has yet to really find it’s footing in the text’s current form. I’m working on it ;D Some of these ideas could be drawn out from the future corresponding video ‘maps’ as well, it seems.
My intention here is to draw the curious listener/reader into exploring the real base of what is behind the music, the ‘story’ of the song, the movements connected to the performances. Maybe they do an internet search and can trace the breadcrumbs somewhere they wouldn’t go if someone ranted to them about TEotW? Hopefully, they lead themselves here (I know anyone who seriously inquires into my worldview gets sent to SHotW, The Wave Series, SOTT, and Gurdjieff). I think its clear that nobody can accept this stuff unless they drag themselves to it. Assistance given the way the C’s teach is obviously key to this. With your help, I will continue to drag myself toward it. I do not desire to teach or lead, I only desire to be a student and a mirror of truth. How can I be of service? :)
Thanks for reading! :D
