Art, art in my eyes need to be unique … when you paint a landscape, you’re doing the same thing everyone else does, landscapes are perfect for photography, but is generally considered an inferior art form. Landscapes are like the pop-music from the 80s – overrated and milked dry.
Let’s quote Wikipedia:
Landscape art is a term that covers the depiction of natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and especially art where the main subject is a wide view, with its elements arranged into a coherent composition. In other works landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the composition. Detailed landscapes as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic traditions, and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing other subjects. The two main traditions spring from Western painting and Chinese art, going back well over a thousand years in both cases. Landscape photography has been very important since the 19th century, and is covered by its own article.
The word landscape is from the Dutch, landschap originally meaning a patch of cultivated ground, and then an image. The word entered the English language at the start of the 17th century, purely as a term for works of art; it was not used to describe real vistas before 1725.[1] If the primary purpose of a picture is to depict an actual, specific place, especially including buildings prominently, it is called a topographical view.[2] Such views, extremely common as prints, are often seen as inferior to fine art landscapes, although the distinction is not always meaningful.[3]
Surrealism, abstract and fine art does carry my stamp of approval, especially when it’s outside the norm.
The artist (Carel de Beer) who did the design for my sandboard also did this stunning piece called “Consume!”
When you start mixing Art & Magick, you also get some fascinating canvases! Among my favorites are
Where can I find more abstract and surreal art forms?

As I’m writing this, I’m testing out new mind altering frequencies. Received 5 new experimental frequencies today and very excited to see the effects / side-effects.
These are however non-ESP frequencies, I would say they fall more in the category of mind-altering. Unfortunately not enough data was available to create the frequency that would simulate the effects of LSD, but instead, got frequencies that would train my mind to flip in and out of certain states at will.
Will post about my results in a couple days time.

You can plot any arbitrary things against each other and make interesting graphs, but this one makes you think about how under-appreciated scientists (and a lot of the people working behind the scenes inventing the world) really are …

Since the start of the ESP experiment, my interest in anything paranormal (or parabnormal as I would call it) has been increasing steadily. Recently, I was listening to Metaphysical Source on blog talk radio and the episode was about a book called Telecult Power that was released somewhere in the 70′s and then went out of print. The discussion then moved in the direction of exposing certain techniques mentioned in the book and how the radio host used it in high-school to make his teacher say random words in mid-sentence – for example, in a math class, the teacher would randomly say the word apple and not know why she said it and the host would laugh about it.
I’ve tried the technique and here’s my story …
It was somewhere around 6:30 am in the morning, I was sitting in my car waiting for a meeting while reading Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce when suddenly something reminded me about the Telecult show the previous day. I decided to give it a shot … I was parked in a T-junction and every minute or two, somebody would be walking down the main road pass the intersection about 50-100 meters from where I was parked.. An Indier school girl was walking pass the intersection when I decided to issue my first command, I felt some tension between my eyes, issued the command that she should stop and then after the tension released between my eyes, she stopped in the middle of the street with a “what the f#$% is going on” look on her face looking around and doing the proverbial SIMS “LAALAALALA Ooohah” and tapping her one foot.
Somebody left black bags full of grass all over the place, some of them in the middle of the road, some obstructing the road intersection and some on the sidewalk. Again I powered up until the tension between my eyes got really heavy, I issued a command that she should kick the bags off the tar. The tension released and she went rampage starting with the bag behind her and kicking it till there was grass all over the road and nothing left of the black bag, she quickly moved onto the next bag and again trashing it and more grass ended on the road, a couple on the sidewalk got kicked until they were mash and then she ran off in the direction she was originally going.
About 10-15 minutes later, she came back and kicked the remaining bags mash and then went to stand in the middle of the road again for a minute or two. Then she noticed me in the car and suddenly the glazy look turned into a fierce focus, she started walking towards my car and I thought, oh sh#t, why’s she walking towards my car? I quickly powered up again until the area between my eyes started throbbing with pressure, I made a mind barrier across the road cutting off the intersection from the main road commanding the barrier not to let anyone pass through the barrier. The girl walked towards the barrier and stopped right in front of it, the focussed look turned into a glaze again and she turned around and walked back in the direction that she was originally walking in.
Relieved that nobody got harmed during the experiment, I decided that this phenomena needs further studying and decided that I will never again use this ability without someone’s consent, unless it means saving someone from harm.
After experiencing what I’ve experienced, I eventually found a second hand copy of the Telecult Power book and ordered it, should have it in a couple of weeks, then I’ll start experimenting with mind reading and tuning into radio stations using nothing but the mind (the concept is essentially the same, tapping into frequencies and de-modulating them)

Just a quick update on what is happening and has happened in the ESP Experiment.
Since my last update, I’ve experienced partial projections where I was able to shift my consciousness and see inside objects or even inside code on certain occasions. This ability is still very on and off and I have no control over it yet.
Since Monday I’ve started moving objects using telekinesis. I’ve created a little pinwheel which is currently sitting on my desk. When I feel like taking a break, I would focus on the pinwheel for about ten seconds and then it would start to move. At first, very slowly until it starts spinning. As soon as it starts spinning, I get so excited that I lose focus causing the wheel to come to a standstill again.
I’ve ordered a pair of ultra high quality headphones specially calibrated for the rest of the experiment, hopefully it’ll arrive within the next couple of weeks.

Due to … uhm, what shall I call them … nevermind, let’s leave it there; I’m back on ESP1 and it seems this track is causing a partial projection, several times now, I’ve been listening to the track followed by an intense prickling feeling in my right hand, then a prickling feeling in my left hand which is then followed by a loss of control.

The infamous fire alarm went off twice in the last two days, this morning it just gave a quick shout and went dead again, … I wonder what’s up with that …
My laptop locked up twice this morning, it’s running Linux Kubuntu, in the last 4 months since Ubuntu was modified into Kubuntu (I love my eyecandy ok :p), it has never locked up at all. There’s a PC on a table which is supposed to be the print server, it’s always on. This morning I walked pass it and the moment I moved pass the screen, it just randomly rebooted. On my way back, I walked pass the computer again, this time a massive yellow jolt of electricity came from the plastered wall and shocked my left arm (leaving the hair on my left arm standing up) followed by a loud snap sound. Same happened when I came close to my chair, it discharged on my right arm (this time leaving my right arm’s hair standing up straight, at least it is now balanced). Also had several shocks getting in and out of my car.
I wonder if the frustration I’m having with the imbeciles at customs is causing my body to generate large amounts of electrostatic energy which disrupts or shocks objects with a large potential difference?

It’s almost midnight and I’m taking ESP1 for a test drive to see what new interesting phenomena will occur.
It started with a light vibration in my finger tips (usually I would just feel a disconnect), then my hands started vibrating at some frequency I’ve never felt before. Soon my forearms followed, both vibrating and making a light buzzing sound. I kept on going until in the early morning hours and eventually fell asleep unable to remember anything that happened after my forearms started making a buzzing sound.

Will be taking ESP1 for another test drive tonight (like I’m doing every night) and report on anything abnormal happening.

Even if I don’t develop special abilities of the sort where I can move stuff with my mind, one thing is definitely developing after starting ESP1; the ability to look somebody in the eyes and to know exactly when they have an interesting story to tell about their life, what they feel, whether they are being honest, etc.
People who I’d usually dismiss as normal boring people, suddenly pulls me closer and I want to hear everything they have to say. It happened again tonight at a live concert, just started chatting to some random dude and eventually it came out that he was the sound engineer for the concert. The chilled out dude with the massive crystal around his neck was the owner of the place, the other dude had great potential to be the lead vocalist of a band (his band broke up, so he was looking for a new band to join). The bar ladies all had an interesting story to tell and found it really weird that I’m not drinking like everyone. Met an old school buddy there as well whom I haven’t seen in five years, seems he’s also stuck in a cubicle and screaming to get out like most people who end up doing software development / engineering and he actually wants to work with people. He wouldn’t be the first, had a chat with quite a few other developers over the last week, ranging from beginners to seniors and all of them have a similar wish, to get out of their cubicle and actually enjoy a stress-free life.
Afterwards, when I went out of the club to my car, the car guard had a look in his eyes as if he wanted to share something of value, maybe some wisdom, or something else. We started chatting and about 30 minutes later (after talking about engines, boosting them, putting hydrogen injectors into really small cars, etc), he opened up and shared that he was an electric engineer once upon a time, then alcohol and drugs totally messed up his life, his friend died from too much vodka. He told me that this time he is starting life all over again, only this time he’s going to be sober. “The human body as well as life is fragile, it takes one bad decision to end it all …”, he said and looking in his eyes, I saw that he really meant what he was saying while there was a touch of sadness at the same time.
Wow, what a moving experience, to be able to feel exactly what somebody else is feeling and knowing that it’s not your own feelings and being able to objectively look at it as if it’s a marble you can observe without it having an effect on your own emotional state (unless you allow it to).
I guess this ability that is unlocking is called empathy and what I’ve learned from this experience is that everyone finds their own life boring, but just showing a little bit of interest in their life, you really brighten up their day / night as everyone wants to feel needed or special even if it’s just a little bit.
