Prediction

Prediction—or personal pose: / In the Age of AI / Poetry will be the last refuge / Of human language.

Memory is the real name of the relation to the self, or of the affect of oneself by oneself. According to Kant, time was the form in which the spirit affected itself, as the space was the form in which the spirit was affected by something else ; time was therefore "self-affection", constituting the essential structure of the subjectivity. But time as subject, or rather subjectification, is called Memory. Not that short memory that comes after, and opposed to oblivion, but "the absolute memory" which doubles the present, which redoubles the outside, and which is one with oblivion, as it is itself and continuously forgotten to be redone ; its fold merges with the unfold, because this one remains present in this other one, as what is folded. Only oblivion (unfolding) finds again what is folded into the memory (in the fold itself). (...) What is opposed to the memory is not the oblivion, but the oblivion of oblivion, which dissolves us outside, and which constitutes the death. (Gilles Deleuze - Foucault, Les Editions de Minuit, 1986 )

I noted that since the time of Gebser, our ‘grammatical mirror’ has exploded (while remaining mostly mentally fixated) but that we might ‘update’ Gebser by finding evidence of the post-postmodern (integral) now. This text (and accompanying audio) is meant to illustrate that point.

Metapsychosis means transmission between minds. It’s a journal of consciousness, culture, and planetary thought, curating essays, poetry, fiction, creative journalism, and experimental media. That’s the exoteric form. But the project is also a thought experiment, a spiritual inquiry, an invitation to explore a realm of possibilities latent within us. The question we’re playing with is: What if our minds are actually connected?
