It is in the nature of the conscious mind to concentrate on...

Evolution machine: Genetic engineering on fast... →
metaconscious:
Automated genetic tinkering is just the start – this machine could be used to rewrite the language of life and create new species of humans.
IT IS a strange combination of clumsiness and beauty. Sitting on a cheap-looking worktop is a motley ensemble of flasks, trays and tubes squeezed onto a home-made frame. Arrays of empty pipette tips wait expectantly. Bunches of black and...

The American Legislative Exchange Council →

new sphere—you knew it was here all along, hung on the tip of every brain, heart & tongue, but held back by our capricious lungs & blanched knuckles clutching the nous fear like clumps of salt tossed across left shoulders of causeways long since sheered into the sea; the carrier of all songs sung by souls all sizes, both old & young—we knew.

Persona
The unconscious is commonly regarded as a sort of incapsulated fragment of our most personal and intimate life—something like what the Bible calls the “heart” and considers the source of all evil thoughts. In the chambers of the heart dwell the wicked blood-spirits, swift anger and sensual weakness. This is how the unconscious looks when seen from the conscious side. But...

Thoughts on The Tree of Life
