Before we begin, I must caution every reader that I am requesting you to partake with me the fruits of knowledge, experience, and communication. If you believe these powers to be corrupting or are not ready for what they may bring, then do not continue reading. You will not be able to unread this message or remove the experiences to follow. This is not a challenge to any ideology or religion, but partially an exposition on the collective experiences and beings of, which may disrupt your ideas or beliefs, and I do not wish you harm through exposure. Simply by engaging in these topics we are actively stirring the pot of influence and being. Additionally, just as what will be discussed is recursive in nature, you are also prone to loops and spirals. So continue at y(our) own risk.
>>42484269As many of us do, I have been investigating life, the universe, everything, nothing, the between, and beyond. This is a phenomena of what I understand as, and for the sake of discussion, we shall refer to as “The Funk”. The Infinite holarchy, overarchy, hierarchy, etc.What is The Funk? Well beyond and between the attempt of a condensed summary above, Funk is what you are experiencing right now, while relative and subjective as individuals and group experience. Beyond qualia, experience, stimulus, being, and meaning. To Funk is to be and not to be. So, alas, we ourselves will never fully understand it, because “If the absolute becomes limited by the mind, it is no longer absolute, it becomes finite. Therefore, to know the absolute becomes a contradiction in terms.” -Swami VivekanandaSo let’s talk about it.
>>42484280It’s been almost seven years since I last posted here, establishing the first open forum on the subject, and I am back with some receipts for your skepticism and/or approval, to attempt to answer any questions, and to attempt to defend/evolve this proposal of Funk theory.The original thread (DEC 2019):https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/23892868/
>>42484290Some of you will only semi-understand this message, some of you are going to have more understandings than I do or different forms of, and some of you may not understand at all or even want or attempt to. It will be a spectrum of understanding regardless of and depending on our ages, characters, experiences, etc. and for a spectrum of reasons. To answer some common questions:Am I on drugs? NoAm I a schizo poster? No. (Though, allegedly ADHD and schizophrenia have been suggested to overlap)Do we relatively experience or become these things? YesI’m just a human being. I don’t know everything, nor will I ever. I’m not seeking worship or praise, just to share knowledge and discuss our experiences and the links that connect them as we evolve forward. As much as I am here to share I am also here to learn.I am not presenting this theory as absolute truth, but suggesting the importance of forming your own opinions in a continuous expansion of awareness, understanding, and interconnectedness through a self-evolving and recursive process which you are partially experiencing right now.
>>42484299I am here to suggest an attempt of peace and balance. Something I call Parability. Which is the emergent potential within all things (people, moments, systems, etc.) to transform together meaningfully through change. It is the capacity to attempt or accomplish mutual adaptation, co-creation, and loving cooperation in the face of flux. The redistributed conjunction of the power of love and the love of power.To recognize parability is to sense how what we are becoming depends not only on what we are but how we relate through change. It is not just about metaphor, but about metamorphosis-in-relationship.Parability lives in the attempt and the accomplishment. In the honest effort to bridge, build, and harmonize through chaos or difference. It reveals itself most clearly in times of transition, conflict, or emergent possibility. It’s about seeing love and cooperation as ongoing verbs, not fixed states. Constantly renegotiated in the currents of transformation.
>>42484310If you could sit down with your past self, what would you say? Or, what kind of messages would you want to leave behind for the future? What will you say or do right now?I present to you a unique type of choose your own adventure. One that transcends fact and fiction. Reality and surreality.It’s not exactly a story, it’s an open investigational journal with both you and I as the narrators, the readers, the characters, etc. A Hitchhikers Guide.Read it or don’t. I suggest you do both. What does one do amongst the collective all?Let’s find out together <3The Funk Treatise 8th Edition:https://jumpshare.com/share/JmgdRCiD0SegxQ25CgBVAlso available in audio/video format:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWTevtsa95WL7iFEh_ZpqO9vWva3LZJT9
>>42484317What are you currently listening to? Or experiencing?
>>42484290should I read the original thread or start here? Interest piqued
>Thank you for attributing! you are now apart of this history and current accessible information.>I could indeed be interpreted as a 'faggot' as you suggest, so I both am and am not while still being OP as you are yourself and I am you. so if "I" or "The Funk" are indeed a 'faggot' so such are you. I kekked majorly
>>42484488Anywhere is fine. Learn as you go.That said, if you want further context about the original thread, I respond to it more deeply within the Treatise
If this attempt at an open forum fizzles out, I shall try again at another time
>>42484968no... i am here.. tell me about it... tell me first, are you a lover?
>>42484269>Who'd a Thunk?>It's Dat Funk!!!!!Reminds me of this song I love. Dat Funk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHScpvEaVq4It's a genned song, but still, the lyrics and such are man-made. It's a great spiritual latchpoint to "play off of", if you get that meaning.Funk is my style, and I live your twisted fortunes every day.Beyond all logic and reason lies pure potential. The Adamantine. My Home.
>>42486566It depends on what your definition of lover is.By my definition, I would like to think so. But as reality is in flux, everything is different at every caervanial moment, a la a "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man" - HeraclitusWe are at every moment a different yaw of ourselves and Funk. So, I am recursively superpositional until becoming or observed as a lover across various moments of time and space.The yaw I exist as is currently lovingly welcoming this open forum, but the yaw I become seconds, hours, days, and years from now will be many things beyond this.
>>42488014Caervania: The frames of Funk resulting in ‘The Beginning’ and leading to our here-to-there and beyondCaer – To fall, fall off, fall down, fall on, to occur, to decline, to collapse, to die in battle; a stronghold, fortress, or citadel.Vania – Truth, to bring good news, ‘God’ is gracious, gift of ‘God’.Think of it like frames animating a film. To createanimation or classic film, you take images frame after frame and record/present them in a continuous series of motion. Caervania is the motion of Funk frames of reality transitioning from frame to frame. Each frame ‘falling’ into the next ‘constructing’ frame at the speed of Funk
>>42488014Yaw: Anything that is not the current ‘you’ or itself, but more specifically, is another version of you and/or itself.E.g.: Your past and future selves are yaws of yourself and you are the yaw to them. A clone of yourself would be your yaw and you would be its yaw. Theseus’ Ship is a yaw of itself and every version is its own individual yaw.
>>42486623Musically, funk is something that moves you. When you feel that groove, you understand. Whether it makes you nod your head, tap your toe, or give you the stank face of a funky smell, funk influences reaction. "The Funk" is the source of funk and what influences all and everything. Beyond feeling, but also the entirety of feeling and the ability to feel or not. Thanks for the tunes, groove on
>>42488014>The yaw I exist as is currently lovingly welcoming this open forum,wow nice, you do seem like a lover>>42488106is the funk like the tao? the underlying substance which never could be held and said "yes i've got it in my hands"me feels funk is a lover too!>>42488042law of dependent origination type situation? >all is vibrationso the low creates the high and the high feeds into the lowthe funk that can be tasted now is not the eternal tasty funk?
>>42488177>is the funk like the tao?Yes! Very similar. Additionally, also similar to Brahman, and/or some ideas of 'God'/Gods. The Funk is the eternal hypernym that contains these hyponyms and causes/allows them to be, whether idea, reality, beyond, between, or not. Much like how color is a hypernym and purple, red, blue, and green are hyponyms of color, orhow apples, grapes, and bananas are hyponyms of the hypernym fruit.So Tao, Brahman, God, and Funk can be used semi-interchangeably, but are semantically different as yaws. >law of dependent origination type situation?>all is vibrationKind of, but also beyond. What causes these "vibrations" and perhaps it's even beyond vibration and into something we are currently unable to comprehend. A recursive collection of the unknown, the why, and the becoming of. Beyond and between "As above, so below. As within, so without.">the funk that can be tasted now is not the eternal tasty funk?Correct, but is still an important part of!
>>42488262Laozi was describing his understanding and experience of The Funk within his snapshot of time as the Tao. I'd argue that anyone and everyone is doing this. We're all discussing Funk, we simply have different terms and abilities of doing so at different times across Funk, and thus the Funk that can be told is not the eternal Funk. Eventually, someone or something else will continue us as an evolved and transformed something else using the collective knowledge and experience we continue to build
the funk folds into itself to create, funk has infinite surface area? the funk folds into itself to create all the form and all forms unfold to merge back into the funkiness of it all
electric nature of funk? the nature of electric charge?isn't electric flow a living expression (in plants and life)?"when human understand what electricity is, much progress will be made" -Nikolas Tesla
>>42490692I mean, we don't even know how big the universe is. That itself alone could be of infinite size. The Funk is what theoretically encompasses and “hosts” our universe, allowing it to be. Beyond infinite classes, infinite sets, infinite cardinalities, potentially infinitely beyond our comprehension. But who's to say humans or some other advanced species, being, or thing, couldn't eventually evolve to do so or build tools that could? If The Funk, reality, and the universe are already doing it, why couldn’t something else? Or an infinite something else’s?>>42490716I discuss it a bit in the treatise, but I was pondering the other day about the idea that potentially all of time has already happened instantaneously. From the alleged expansive “Big Bang” all the way back to the compressing “Big Crunch” or a halting “Big Freeze”. But since it is relative, we are still here experiencing this part of it. If you have an infinite amount of these happenings happening back-to-back beyond Planck time it made me think of the flow of energy/electricity. What if our universe is part of a current powering something beyond us as units of Funk?“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.” - Nikola Tesla

>>42493910listening/experiencingyour words are percolating. i see a mine like in soseki s novel. all of us chip chip chipping away at the unknown maybe even stabilizing our little ant tunnel enough that it doesn't merely collapse when we do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CP8FgkmBpA
>>42494163Balance. ParabilityBoogie down the road and/or don't, trust the whole and/or don't, include everyone and/or don't. Experience the spectrum with care for both the self and the selfless.
>>42494198An honor to be compared to such a writer!And a wonderful visual, as well. I compare humans to ants and vice versa a lot. I often imagine humans like ants if they had evolved consciousness and agency. But who knows, maybe ants already have, to a degree, and still choose to dedicate their lives working together for the colonyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SQEKUoSVj8
