Eye Candy

This is the science of eye candy.

Eye candy is something that stimulates the visual senses into an almost visual overload. Although it applies to anything visual, it is usually used to describe movies, or people.

Note that although scenes like golden fields blowing in the wind, or a sunset over a white sand beach, are both serenely beautiful, they are not necessarily eye candy.

And like everything else, eye candy is energy. To illustrate, let us take the best example for movie eye candy, and that's Speed Racer, directed by the Wachowski brothers.

It relies on the visual bombardment of color. Since color is merely a signature of light, it is energy. Color emits more energy than mere black or white. And the human eye is naturally drawn to wherever energy is strongest. The human eye is in fact naturally drawn to three things: light, motion, and color. And this movie has it all.

Human eye candy is slightly different, as it is the beauty of the person's face as a three-dimensional construction that makes it eye candy. And the human eye is likewise drawn to it, because it is unfamiliar. It is energy configured in a beautiful way, like the Aurora Borealis (which I have not yet personally laid eyes on).

That is the so-called science of eye candy.

The Sound of the Universe

This is the story of how I heard the sound of the universe.

This happened sometime in 2001 or 2002, I don't really remember. I was with three other friends, all of us psychonauts. We were in another psychonaut friend's apartment, although the friend who owned the apartment wasn't with us that night (he sometimes lets us use his place). All of us ingested Jekyll, lay down on a mattress, and went on a spirit walk.

This was my vision:

I was heavily clothed, surrounded in total blackness. All around me was nothing but black, total darkness, except for myself, which I could see clearly. I was not floating in empty space; my feet were touching solid ground, although it just looked black to me.

Then I started running in the blackness. Just running, to nowhere in particular. I didn't seem to be crashing into any barrier; I was just running through endless space.

Then a voice inside me told me to take off the baseball cap I had on my head. It wasn't really a voice, for it did not speak. But it was something foreign to me, and it spoke not in words, but in images, and it communicated at the speed of thought. And it told me to take off my cap.

So still running, I took off my cap. As I held the cap in my hand, I saw that it had some designs on the front. As I looked closer, I could see that the designs were of faces. They were the faces of my immediate family---my brothers and sisters, and my mom and dad.

Then the voice told me to throw the cap away. Still running, I tossed away the cap, and watched it disappear into blackness. Then the voice told me to take off my jacket.

Upon taking off the jacket, I also noticed that the jacket was printed with faces---the faces of everyone in my neighborhood. All of them: my childhood friends, the store owner at the street corner, the pesky kids across our house, basically everyone I know from my neighborhood. The voice also told me to toss the jacket, and it too disappeared into nothingness.

The voice told me to remove every article of clothing I had (like I said, I was heavily clothed). Printed on each article of clothing were the faces of people I knew during the course of my entire life thus far: my grade school classmates, my high school buddies and teachers, my uncles and aunts, my cousins, literally everyone I knew was shed off. Soon I was down to just my boxer shorts.

I stopped running then, aware that I would be asked by the voice to strip naked and toss away my boxers. I looked down at my last piece of clothing: printed on it were the four faces of the psychonauts who took the spirit walk with me.

I thought to myself, "These four people are physically in the same room with me (each of us having our own spirit walk), and they are my last connection to real world. Once I shed my boxers, I would have severed all my connections to the physical world." That meant that I would have crossed over to the unknown, having no idea at all what would happen if I did.

The voice assured me that there was nothing to be afraid of, and I knew that everything was good, for I felt no fear nor hesitation. So I stripped off my boxer shorts, and threw them away.

Then I felt myself falling through a portal, like being sucked into a straw, and when I came out the other end, I was back in my body, back in my friend's apartment, lying down on the mattress surrounded by my friends. But something was different. I could see the energy around me.

If you've seen The Matrix, it's similar to how Neo sees the Matrix code in everything around him. In my case, I could see literally thousands upon thousands of fibers of energy, each fiber having different color signatures. The energy configuration of my friends were different from the energy configuration of the furniture, or the stereo, or the mattress we were lying on. The energy of living things was different from the energy of the inanimate objects, but you could be certain that everything was energy, manifested in different forms.

And as I looked around in wonder, I became aware of a low humming sound that I could hear. It was very similar to the hum of a high-voltage cable with a powerful current running through it. It was also kind of like the hum of a Jedi's lightsaber, only it was continuous and uninterrupted.

That, my friends, is the sound of the universe. It is the sound of the buzzing and the humming of the energy around you. This sound is not new; it is as old as the universe itself.

Hinduism and other religions that practice meditation are no stranger to this sound. They have heard it before, and have incorporated them in their meditative practices.

The sound of the universe is written as one syllable, with three letters: AUM. Sometimes it is spelled "Om". John Lennon mentioned this in his song "Across the Universe."

Later on I did some research and found out that "Aum" is regarded by some as the highest sound, by others as the voice of God. And until I heard that sound with my own ears, I never even knew it existed.

Invoking Your Ancestors

*This delayed post is four days after the full moon.

In the movie The Lion King, King Mufasa tells his young cub that the spirits of their ancestors look down on them from the stars. In the T.V. series Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Airbender Aang invokes his predecessor, the Avatar Roku, for wisdom and guidance. In Star Wars, Luke Skywalker converses with the spirit of the departed Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I could go on and on with many more examples of this phenomenon of invoking one's ancestors in popular culture, but that would be a very tiresome task. But there is truth to this practice, since our ancestors have been invoking their ancestors, who also invoked their ancestors before them. Your ancestors were once life forms on this planet; they once walked this earth, breathed our air, and drank our water. They were alive, and were once live forms of energy. When they died, they merely changed forms. Their knowledge, and their entire energy configuration, has joined the Force, or the super energy field that encompasses everything.

So when one invokes their ancestors, one is not merely calling out to your dead relatives; one is actually tapping into the eternal energy source. There are actually many other methods of tapping into the great energy, and calling on your ancestors is simply one way of going about it. It is one of the easiest ways where ordinary people can feel the awesome power of the universe without resulting to anything that borders on the occult.

For proof of the truth of this phenomenon, read my law school blog. And then try it out yourself. But you must be sincere. Any slight hint of skepticism will guarantee failure from the onset.

Lucid Dreaming

Someone asked me for some tips on lucid dreaming.

There are actually different ways to go about it. My way is not the only way, and I'm not even saying it's the correct way. Anyway, here we go.

1. Lie down. Duh. Obviously, this includes closing your eyes. It would be advisable to lie down on your back, legs slightly spread, and arms on your sides, with the palm facing up. It must feel completely natural for you; if it feels uncomfortable or unnatural in any way, move around a bit to find your position.

2. Relax every muscle in your body. Visualize the relaxation starting from your feet, moving upwards, to the legs, the torso, the arms, and then the neck, then the face.

3. Once you've relaxed everything, all the activity should be concentrated in your brain. And this is where the fun begins.

4. Now imagine your mind as one big stadium covered by a huge dome right above you. You can think of the dome as your cranium. Then imagine some lights on the dome's surface, corresponding to the areas of your brain where mental activity is going on (kind of like a CT scan). This requires some concentration, as you must try to locate which areas of your mind are still receiving electrical impulses.

5. Once you've determined which areas are still active, imagine the stadium starting to vibrate and shake. The stadium is actually one huge flying saucer, and the ground vibrating beneath you is actually the boosters and engines starting up.

6. Then imagine the whole stadium, including the dome plus all the lights on its surface, suddenly rise vertically into the sky. You will know when you are doing it right when you feel your body as just pins and needles, the sensation of it slowly fading while your mind slowly enters a different plane.

7. Sustain for as long as possible.

The purpose of this of course is to take all your mental activity to a different plane, into the alternate universe of dreaming. You will be leaving your body behind on auto-pilot, and it will undergo its daily rest and cell regeneration and what-not. But your mind and your consciousness will be elsewhere.

Always remember that all this requires energy. To separate your mind from your body requires a tremendous amount of energy, so if you are exhausted when you hit the sack, chances are you will just just drift off to dreamland, without control, of course. And even if you successfully manage to enter the dream state, it will take even more energy to stay there.

This post only discusses entering the dream state. Sustaining it is another matter.

Collective Power

Someone asked me: What's the purpose of going to Church, when you can just pray on your own at home?

I answered: Collective power. And I mean "power" in the supernatural sense, that mystical energy that you feel through the air.

One person protesting the government by shouting through a megaphone in the streets will not be quite persuasive enough. Two hundred thousand people can overthrow a president.

One person listening to the Eraserheads on his iPod might evoke nostalgia. Thirty thousand fans singing together can bring tears to the eyes.

One person praying at home is one thing. Hearing Mass in Quiapo Church is a different thing altogether.

Have you even seen the wall on the east side of the church? It has the names of the parish priests since 1582. That's anno domini fifteen hundred and eighty-two. The names are carved in stone, and it's so old you can barely read the letters (so it's not true that what is written in stone is permanent).

So it all boils down to this: more people, more energy; more energy, more power. The universe is one big ball of energy. It's just a matter of redirecting it.
