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.

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 ;)
