Enlightenment Caucus of the Crypto-Hominid Research Council (forum)



Not sure if this will automagically say who posted this, so it is I, Dakota: I figure we ought to figure out basic plans or goals to start off with, decide on what resources we're going to use, if we are going to all use the same or similar stuff, and then obviously additionally use this for discussion and putting up ideas and all. Doc Leecher and Mr. Metcalfe mentioned Gyuto and/or Dzogchen mantras, if you guys have any ideas towards what specifically would be good, or have any, let us know?

Here's part of the last email Doc Leecher sent me with some awesome thoughts:

''With the proliferation of the yeti mythos across cultures that get eventually slammed by invaders he is a real potent archetype, the last 'real' man sort of thing. As we know that certain ideas carry with them emotional emanations, it feels like the yeti is there for who ever is downtrodden in opppostion to an alien culture's rape of ancestral lands and bodies for their own machinations. Greys are noted for cattle manipulation, human probing, as well as a technocracy that makes the most 'advanced' human cultures look like "lowly primals." There is certainly something different with our 8foot, stinking, hairy brother.''

This got me thinking: the whole Bigfoot-as-a-counterpart-to-Greys presents a kind of interesting reversal of the Ouranian/Chthonic polarities. The Bigfoot is primarily a creature of the Earth, it suggests our origin in its ape-ness, it may even live in caves below the Earth or in mountains. Greys meanwhile are from above and beyond, intelligence and powers outside our own. As Doc Leecher noted, the greys seem, if not hostile, then not particularly benevolent. Bigfoot as the illuminated opposite has a wisdom-of-the-Earth, the primal man who is at the same time past most of the flaws of mankind. The Greys have sort of an ascendence-through-Dark-Science thing, or maybe even represent identification with the Other through synthesis with Dark Science. Bigfoot meanwhile could represent a means of reaching greater knowledge or power through intuitive understanding of one's nature, if that makes sense? Both polarities could be useful as well as harmful.

This kind of brings me into my second thought, which is that of using Yeti\Bigfoot\Sasquatch consciousness as a portal through which one can access the whole Yeti\etc ideaspace in order to bring back new metaphors. Obviously this isn't a new idea, but I think it could prove interesting. Also it will depend on what kind of success one has in making contact, and to what degree, but I plan on checking it out if possible. I'm currently engaged in designing a machine to facilitate this which I plan on making available to you all if you want. SECRET YETI TECH, in summary.

So that's the main area I'm interested in. I want to see things how Sasquatch sees them and think about what Yeti think about. How much of a group feel do you guys think we will want? It'd be pretty cool to be able to consolidate existing tech that we may find that works, as well as innovate and come up with some new viable stuff, so eventually we'd have a small corpus of material for working with different parts of the Sasquatch/Bigfoot/Yeti ideaspace, but that might be overly optimistic / too early to tell if we'll go that far. But I mean, do we eventually want initiations into the Lesser and Greater Mysteries down the line?

Because that sounds pretty awesome.
