Antiexistence is an album that paints the scene of glitched-out dreams. It is Raw & Organic, inspired by our experiences with Dream-Shaping & Deconstructive Psychology.
We are willfully sharing these inspirational experiences with you.
Humnankind may be born into bondage--but we certainly do not have to die this way. It is possible to Uncondition our minds.
A cell can be a cozy place--for a dead person!
If you seek a way out, it is possible--although it is not by the way we came in...the way out is the way.
May you ponder & embrace the meaning of your existence...
O.o.O.

Meta-Programming through the Circuits of Consciousness
Our mission this burn was to experiment with Timothy Leary's 8 circuit model of consciousness on the playa...Of course, we only got through 6 circuits, but even that is an accomplishment with all the other chaos to juggle on the playa. We went out there to re-program aspects of our minds, and that is exactly what happened.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-Circuit_Model_of_Consciousness)
Much of our time was spent in the Bio-Survival Circuit, as we built our home & had to protect it from violent wind & sand elements.
The Emotional, Symbolic & Domestic (socio-sexual) Circuits manifested in many different ways, sometimes with polar shifts, causing perceptions & feelings of extreme oppostites. (unity & isolation, trust & paranoia, desire & neglect, peace & rage, etc)
We experienced some of the other circuits simultaneously at times. Our best moments happened on the Neurosomatic & Neuroelectric circuits, with tantric merging into ONE being, and the meta-programming transformation which will be described below.
The single most intense experience we had was like a sling-shot into the cosmos. It felt like we were back in the womb...our vision, hearing and ability to speak had gone and all we could feel were our hands holding each other, feeling like liquid metal at times. When our ears began to work again, we heard high frequencies and strange noises like machinery and felt our bodies being rebuilt. I was able to crack my eyes open occasionally but could only see figures moving around. These figures were communicating with each other saying things like "the specimens will now be entering a temporary period of paralysis" and then it would happen just as they said. We had waves of feeling love & warmth, then feeling cold & death approaching. By sunrise, it became a full Samadhi experience. We got up feeling like we had shed our old skins. Possibly the greatest moment of our lives. We had a beautiful bike ride around the playa that morning.
Whether these were foreign inter-dimensional beings or inner projections of ourselves is irrelevant. Whether it was a lucid dream, time-space travel, or something else entirely, it definitely had a positive effect on us.
It is hard to believe that we both experienced the same things, while we were unable to communicate verbally to each other. But then again, not so hard to believe if you've been there ;)
O.o.O.

Sleepers of the World
We offer companionship to seekers and dreamers, but sometimes they are hard to tell apart from the hiders and sleepers...
Sleep-Walkers,
Being half-awake will not suffice you.
You are brainwashed zombies,
programmed to rebel against anything.
Do not confuse Impulse for Intuition!
"Chaos is tickling matter again
and your experience of self is their foreplay!"
O.o.O.

Rulers, Rebels, & Followers
In research of cultures, both ancient and modern, I have so far come across many distinct, but common groups. There are three in particular that I would like to analyze right now: Rulers, rebels, & followers.
Rulers come in two groups on the grand scale; organized governments and religious rulers. By organized governments, I am referring to ancient and modern governments, with all the laws and consequences that they use to rule. By religious rulers I am referring to the organized faith systems which have strict rules and punishments for those who oppose them.
Ok, so maybe these two "rulers" are actually the same in essence? Together, they create two more groups of people; rebels & followers.
Followers are people who submit themselves to be ruled by others, either by choice or by force. They might be unaware of the fact that they have a choice, be afraid to rebel, or be indifferent on the matter. The first two are self-explanatory (ignorance and brute force), while the last is a state of mind engineered by the rulers by means of bribing and distracting.--The ultimate example of passive-aggressive social-engineering!
Rebels are people world over who's main agenda is to abandon agenda altogether. They come from many walks of life, but the main two subgroups being analyzed here are: pleasure-seekers and knowledge-seekers. Pleasure-seekers embrace the material world, ruled by desire/emotion. Knowledge-seekers are ruled by logic/intellect. Each often denying what the other has to offer.
Hidden within these subgroups are more subgroups of seekers: Those who choose to abandon material possessions altogether, in hopes of understanding and becoming that which is above the laws of man. And those who's thirst and craving run so deep that they choose to live multiple lives, embracing and transcending ALL.
Throughout life, we (the non-rulers) evolve through stages of following and rebelling...
I have been the follower of rules, who did not know I had a choice. I have been tempted by pleasure-seeking, but never pursued it fully because my thirst for knowledge was stronger. Thus, I have been the rebellious knowledge-seeker, blinded by my own intellect. In my "awakening" from my blind intellect, I have also been an eagerly blind mystic, entranced by this power that I had tapped into. I became The Hypocrite who had unintentionally and unknowingly attained "blind faith". When I realized this, I became the Skeptical Existentialist; The Stranger; The Paranoid Hermit. After enduring much pain and solitude from my spiritual death...something happened. Somewhere in the middle-path between pleasure-seeking & knowledge-seeking, resides wisdom & understanding. I realized that blind mysticism is a veil that sometimes needs to be worn before we are ready to understand what is underneath it. I realized all the stages that I had gone through in my evolution were necessary. Evolution/Change has become my belief. Intelligence/Ego doesn't allow weakness, but wisdom does. At least it allows for change.
TO CHAOS NOTHING IS TRUE AND EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED
And Ever-Evolving...
O.o.O.
"In sleep we dream of only two forms of government--anarchy and monarchy. Only kings and wild people populate my night. Monads and nomads. But in dream we are never ruled except by love or sorcery, which are the skills of chaotes and sultans. We do not rule--but we cannot and will not be ruled..." -T.A.Z., Hakim Bey

Initiation to Existence
sacred union of the flesh
by the sacred number of strength
molded like clay and given consciousness
the in-itiation into existence has begun...
------------------------------------------------------
All belief systems have some sort of initiation. Whether it is an elaborate ritual of the senses, bowing down in submission, or being still and gaining self-awareness. This reminds me of the art at Burning Man this year. Right outside Center Camp there were 3 huge people. One of them was standing with her palms touching in front of her, she had fire in her heart. The middle one had fire in her hands, her arms were above her head in an exhaulting manner. The last one was kneeling submissively on the floor, with fire in his eyes that melted like tears onto the ground. I remember being able to appreciate all of them. Even though I am not the submissive type, I know that I am human too and we all go through times of hardships and desperation at some point in our lives.
I began thinking about other forms of initiation, such as life, death, friendship, love, work, school, etc.
Initiation is everywhere...
O.o.O.

ANARKHOS
without a ruler
aggression, power
spawned from failure
confusion, disorder
no standard morals
no common sense
annhiliate expedience
ego
how can anyone feed you so much?
your gluttony causes me
utter disgust
you are only pawns
in their game of chess
you are expendable
they could care less
honour, nobility
without sincerity
no standard morals
no common sense
annihilate expedience
without a ruler
aggression, power
spawned from failure
confusion, disorder
O.o.O.

Social Security or Black Iron Prison?
What is the underlying purpose of a social security number?
How ironic to call it so!
It seems to be a double edged blade.
It promises a feeling of safety and convenience.
"Order" is supposed to make people feel safe?
This number system keeps track of everyone, good or bad.
It can assure that war heroes are taken care of
and keep "criminals" behind bars.
It can be used to monitor society like lab rats & guinea pigs.
Trial and error. Trial and error.
It's an easy system to operate under false pretenses.
And to think...this is only a baby step to a time where humans will be implanted with manipulative tracking devices upon birth...
Improving technology is one thing--but abusing it is a crime that is going unpunished. But of course the Rulers are not going to punish themselves!
Why do they find it necessary to do these things to people? What are they trying to accomplish...really? World Peace, or a Global Freakout?
