Search

[avad]

thinking...about the search through something like LJ for a 'friend'- how would you visualize that process of random or linked reading of messages that are sent out to no 'One' destination but are there to look through....until you find someone's thoughts that intrigue you or connect with something in you enough to interact...

I picture looking down on the Earth at all these points and being able to listen in at random to 'thought broadcasts', one by chosen one, looking, searching...checking in on some friends and family, making sure everyone's ok...then looking on, listening in, swimming about...offering a bit of comfort if you come across someone in pain or particularly lonely, looking, learning about life from all different perspectives as you go, looking...:)

The colors could also indicate mood, tone, emotional state. If you wanted to find someone who was in a certain state of mind at the right time...You would SEE anger,loneliness, peace, confusion, in all the variety of shades of emotion blinking like city lights below...Here is someone who is ready to take a chance with life...someone whose heart just opened up...and they want to be of service to the world...see the color of that? Now go on down and listen in...

humans and the hive mind

Tap someone on the shoulder in the supermarket and ask them how they are. Most likely you'll get a strange look and a "Um, fine" as they try to get away.

compare: "what's new?" with "what's good?" . what's new is not important, but people always seem to have an answer. ask about what brings joy to someone's life, and they seem confused... i dunno.

but i sincerely suspect that the communications revolution that we're living through is training us for non-verbal non-linear communication, something like telepathy, but more like calibration on some metagrid. serendipity seems to be on the rise. synchronicity is escalating. like we're all part of a single hyperdimensional organism that is what humanity will become... but maybe i'm delusional? ;o)
