“That said, one can, to a limited extent, steer through what could be called mindspace, or a figurative n-dimensional field of the various states the human mind may occupy, with actual minds being vector-like instances, or actualizations of certain coordinate paths. I’ve done it myself, albeit in a manner only slightly dictated by my will.”
First of all: insane piece of writing. Makes me appreciate you even more than I already do.
We need to talk more about it - although the heroic hazarding of dangerous states of mind is a classic trope of magical literature (Castaneda, Crowley, Spare), I do think the dream of the antipsychiatrists (Guattari, Laing.. John Cage?) was to forge a social path that way.
I also think all these “potential minds” - though they may seem to describe something abstract, platonic for Levin - are actually just different edges drawn on a graph of the availably real. Psychonautics is really just network alchemy. 1 reply
