Matroshka, as in those Russian dolls -- where each doll contains a smaller doll inside it contains a smaller doll inside it.
I just finished reading the Little Harmonic Labrynth dialog from GEB: an eternal golden braid. I thought originally that this would be a rather dry book with a lot of chewing involved (only an analogy of course, please don't take me too seriously).
I was wrong.
When Achilles wished for 100 wishes and the genie sadly declined saying that he was not allowed by GOD to grant meta wishes, I just about lost it.
It was early in the morning and I was sitting in the hall, waiting for my math class to open. That much comedy so early in the morning. A good joke is better than the strongest espresso, although I'm more of a mate person anyhow.
Yes, mate does taste like bitter clay when it's brewed black like the rind of an avacado, it is however a good flavor.
Popping back to the genie, in the end the genie does allow for a meta wish to be granted but only after going through the proper channels. Do you know what this genie does?
Ze asks GOD.
GOD as it turns out is an acronym for GOD over djinn (djinn means genie).
God over djinn can be further expanded to GOD over djinn over djinn...
to GOD over djinn over djinn over djinn...
to GOD over djinn over djinn over djinn over djinn...(forever and ever)
The genie pulls out a lamp, summons the genie inside and asks for permission to grant a meta wish. That genie says that ze will have to ask GOD and pulls out a lamp, summoning another genie...this repeats for infinity but fortunately it takes less and less time for each genie to come out so that overall, an infinite amount of genies are asked for permission to grant a meta wish and this only takes an instant before the infinite number of replies comes back. Wow, I need to stop thinking about that or I'll be up all night.
It does remind me of a very powerful dream I had about 7 or so moons ago. It's one of the most powerful and fluid experiences I've encountered lately although I'm fuzzy on the details at this point as the following day I had a journey of another sort. I do remember the main points though.
The dreaam starts with the hero, whom I identify with. This dream, although very involved is completely in third person.
The hero is sitting in a cafe when space morphs and the small interior is embellished into a cavernous room. Suddenly crashing through ceiling on the far side is the schoolbus. It has returned (like all things it would have to come home as a matter of course)! Yes, the students are still inside but there is something else.
A sick energy. This alien wavelength is permeating everything. It is obvious by the situation alone (as things often are in dreams) that all ordinary things as we know them will begin an exponential mutation towards states of utter strangness. It is a virus and there will be zombies.
The middle is a bit fuzzy. Mostly consisting of the hero fighting through mutant beings and journeying through utter strange; especially the utter strange.
At the end, the hero enters a small house. In the entry way he is swarmed with humans gone red and slimy by mutation. Their many tendrils whipping psychic shockwaves at him in great antogonism.
Fortunately their is a katana displayed prominently above the door and he makes quick work of his adversaries but more and more keep coming as they are locked onto his wavelength. Even the dog, the pet of the house has begun oozing as it transforms like a pupa without crysallis into something more sinister.
As the mutant waveform amplifies, all physics start to break down and the things start shifting to non-solid planes and turning to ghost black sillouhettes as they come through the walls. This distracts our catana weilding hero and the dog gets a hold on him, biting down on his arm. Fortunately due to it's half completed transformation it's teeth have turned to goo. It mouth is now more like a giant clammy hand.
Quite suddenly a new reality becomes partially synchronized with this one and the destiny hero emerges from another plane. He is obviously a higher form of the hero and together they resonate a psychic waveform of clarity.
All at once the mutants stop their rampage and distill into their respective human and alien entity components and attention shifts to the pet dog, which has become almost inorganic but more cartoony and is opening up, releasing a smaller dog, which opens up to release a smaller dog, which opens up to release a smaller dog. The hero sees this and understands. He then becomes the destiny hero (who was always his future self) and things go back to normal (I think I woke up at this point).
Oh yeah, DMT and Stuff. The end.
