co-create

[grladams at teleport.com]

By reading Against the Day, I feel like I've grown conscious of future
outcomes as being infinite lines or variants too many to name, narrowing
down as we go, to the point of the now. Co-creating our future seems to be
an optimist's wish, but in these speculative times -and therefore in ATD
time- alternate timelines has become a (?common maybe) myth, just as the
popular mood to WWI must have felt, we feel it now:

http://www.projectcamelot.org/t1v83.html "there are many factions and
individuals behind the scenes that WANT these foreseen events to transpire."

this is a site pulled up over pizza by a friend of mine who believes we'll
be involved in another false flag operation by election time and be driven
by bushco into marshal law. although she's never read pynchon,  and we come
at speculation from entirely different angles... there is a common belief
in some kind of eternal return, as tonic to whatever fears we expressed.
ascension, or maybe transcendence is just what conscious people desire to
do, to get to a "fourth coordinate axis" p.437 we can see it all a little
better, our point above the plane.

I'm reminded after reading her link of the senders behind the message in
the chums' oyster or concurrently, those behind struggles to prevent the
trespassers from being discovered, or any of the other instances (anyone
have any others?) where we have not yet been caught peeping?? but they'd
like to quash out the discovery of alternatives to reality.

"haunted by an ancient people whose name noone knew" as above, so below 

Also it's important in ATD that Pynchon describes nameless, somehow almost
forgotten things - usually contrasted with pedestrian everyday normalness:
a fruitful mormon spread juxtaposed with extinct people's remnants below. I
really wish I'd sticky noted all those dang sections. 

for dessert, my slightly conspiracy minded friend later showed me this fun

William James is the earliest mention I could find.  I'm sure that  
Freud over in Vienna probably heard of it and so news spreads.
