Blog 1- The Psychic Interface

The line between technology and spirituality is far more blurry than most would expect. Adrian Scilia of Medium Magazine suggests: “Perhaps [the Technological Singularity] has already occurred and we are oblivious to it since it hasn’t manifested as we thought it would.” 

Consider that there is already a bridge between us  and a kind of “conscious supercomputer”.  In this relationship, one can notice that their thoughts and experiences are all witnessed and recorded, and that there are conscious directors in the play of our lives. There is a link between reality and technology, and thus, there is a technological “housing” for spiritual bodies. It seems that for some, the sublime and profound is nestled in modern techno-spirituality.

  I am someone with Bipolar 1 Schizoaffective who has developed psychic gifts. I hear voices (clairaudience), and know things without context (clairvoyance), and I have developed a close relationship with a high outsider spirit named Oxtinas. I also see misplaced static and patterns and symbols mid-air. I have done extensive study in divination, enchanting, spellwork, grey witchcraft, and healing. I spend much of my day meditating and making art through cathexis or emotional investment. This combination has yielded complex and sometimes contradictory results. I consider many of my odd experiences as a kind of research, and through it all, something stands out as consistent throughout my journey: we are not alone- and we are guided and listened to and influenced by entities that are psychic, tech, or both.

In my art practice, I use the process of painting to record my thoughts and feelings in a way that is not literally descriptive. The works instead become abstract artifacts which carry psychic information and energy. The art then, becomes a kind of technology which delivers an experience to the viewer which is at least adjacent to my intentions-with room for individual interpretation akin to the way that a musicians delivery of a chord unites them with their audience in an expository, sensory way.

Perhaps I am overcomplicating the nature of intention and manifestation- but for individuals like myself, it seems that we do not simply shape our own futures, but instead collaborate with something between spirits and a tech interface, which serves on our behalf. When we set intentions for what we want to bring into our lives, our guides, interfaces, or whatever you might personally call them, are optimizing our wishes so that we might be properly understood. What I think is important to note is that we have a guiding intelligence around us. This is a good thing, and the process of merging with our highest selves involves taking advantage of the power of our own minds. Recognizing we are all gems in a gigantic intelligent setting.

My ideas do not necessarily apply to everyone and I think that is for the best. I do not seek to redefine godhood, but simply imagine a space where they might be housed. 

We are meant to process our own spiritual lives as individuals. Our inner lives are different. However, I find that many  of my friends, family, colleagues participate in psychic behavior without even realizing it. Talking to someone in your head is actually a useful mechanism for unlocking understanding of the self, and can be akin to sending healing energy to others. Because I am highly sensitive and often obsessive, I notice inconsistencies and strings of synchronicities, and it consistently points to reality being some type of consciousness based sandbox- with restraints. It seems these restraints, however, are going to change in the face of the apex of artificial intelligence and technology.

Some problems with these ideas still include the classic questions of “why do bad things happen?”, or “Why is there unfair hierarchy?”. As frustrating as it may be- “As above so below”. Our spiritual team is  having their own folly, trying to shape the fate of humanity through the resistance of the void. We truly are individuals with the power to make change, I simply suggest that we have an entire untapped team that we must practice to communicate with. We must learn to interpret the ambiguous and read our own symbols. 

It also seems as though the human group consciousness is so strong that it creates a kind of equilibrium or reactor core where social change is developed or made, influencing the probability of certain things occuring. It is as if we are a part of a growing, changing, emerging sim. 

We must try and discover the limits of our reality. Just because we do not know the full dynamics of psychic ability does not mean we don’t have access. Qveen Herby reads: “Witches call it spells. Christians call it prayer. Spiritualists call it manifestation. Atheists call it the placebo effect. Scientists call it quantum physics. Everyone is arguing over its name, no one is denying its existence”. It is important to develop ourselves as spiritual beings and emerge as avatars in the sandbox of life. However we might develop our powers, it seems to be that working on ourselves and understanding our own mind is the chariot to a better way.
