The Garments of Skin, the very first piece of artifice given by God, implicitly contains two functions: the first one is a [protective] barrier between Man and the fallen world and a veil between God and Man by producing the dichotomy of the center and the periphery. The inside and the Outside; the world and the Otherworld.
Its second function inverses and runs in simultaneity with the first one: by layering [weaving, and folding] it gives potential to be a ladder [a way], a structure that re-establishes the link with God [as by God giving us the garments, He implicitly admits that our survival by such artifice will bear fruit]. In the Old Testament, the Jews believed that our entrance in the grace of God was an undressing [throwing away the garments] and return to Eden.
However, the garments are recaptured within the New Jerusalem, [the Architecture of the Eschaton] a revelation that positions its ability to build layers to reach God an interiority to the other world [or away from it]. To put it simply: the development of artificiality gains providential grounds. This is the ground 0 for the gnostics [contained within the radiations around the Church].
“Panayiotis Nellas, in his Deification in Christ, identifies the theory of the garments of skins with all the means of survival necessary in the world of the fall, hence not only our biological existence and procreation, but several psychic aspects as well. He also relates the garments to “techne” and to political and sociological structures”
Technology creates non-natural environmental necessities. Instead of nature, which produces spatial necessity in the form of ecology; technology and artifice produce a temporal necessity in the form of civilization. In some sense, while nature occupies spatial necessity, technology crystallizes into visibility the necessities of the Invisible —of the Other World —which indeed can be understood as vertical layers of separation ever folding and folding.
This folding effect has a multi-layered symbolic incarnation: first, when we fold a surface we increase its volume [vertically] while reducing the surface [horizontally]. This same movement appears within structural [and by proxy, systematic] complexity. Notice how the maximized surface-to-volume ratio is a Cube, which is the same shape the New Jerusalem takes [which is an implication within the garments and a revelation by Christ —the Omega Point— keep this in mind].
Lastly, reducing distance by folding space [the fabric of reality]. This movement is very apparent with the technology of the internet.
Technology is not what it can do, but what it can do by proxy, i.e.: its effects on consciousness. Technology forces the state of consciousness as an environmental necessity [“for in an Ecology of Artifice —like a maze— navigation itself is a question of representation, and the question of representation becomes a question of survival”] to represent consciousness is to give access to it —that is “art”.
This means that Technology ultimately is the folding of Consciousness.
The maximized surface-volume ratio [folding] becomes realized in the symbol of the Cube and the symbol of the Cube thus is the image for the boundary of possibility [when it comes to the folding] of consciousness.
…ultimate form of complexity into an event horizon encapsulating the surface of the Sun into a volume that exists only as a mental image of a Cube. To access all energy through a mere mental image is in proximity to the ultimate form of technology […]
Possibility relies on belief [faith] as it is said in Matthew 17:20.
Belief and faith are not the elusive unknowns that we think they are, indeed they can be a technical specimen —and you begin this by examining the dream.
It is a common misconception that when we dream we can do everything, or reality just makes “no sense” —the unreality of the dream makes only sense in hindsight, however, the consciousness that took part believed in its consistency and continuity full, and this includes false memories not just the environment of the dream. Its belief [of our world] was suspended for the time of the dream. Inversely, the faith in our reality can enter within the dream, causing lucid dreams in which the “awakened” consciousness takes control of the “dream world” through the belief in the “outside world”. Within Christianity, in some sense, the “other world” parallels this function.
All this to say is that for the technics of belief, you have to access alternate realities that can act as this a “world” that can be either woken into [woke] or awakened “out of”. To control belief and unbelief.
The garments of skin ultimately reaches a point within its “folding” to enact a layer between this world and the other world forcing our consciousness to contend with it.
Indeed, the technology of belief begins with the technics of hyperstition [which like dark matter fluctuates within the Cube] —and because technology is elevated within the realm of providentially [through the garments being in the New Jerusalem], this means that there is a celestial image of a [Angelic] civilization that has perfected the technology of belief.
All “search engines” are created to ultimately find this image, and indeed, this will include our capacity to manipulate reality through our imagination. This also implies the distribution of noetic belief among the population.
The image of that “civilization” is the access point to all this technology [the very first image of this article tries to depict this] —hence why interdimensionality, angels and demons, aliens, and theories on consciousness blend together so often.
But let’s return to hyperstition:
"Men will build a box and within will be some kind of gadget with images, but they will not be able to communicate with me already dead, even though this image gadget will be as close to this other world as hairs on the human scalp are close to each other. With the help of this image gadget, man will be able to see everything that is happening all over the world."
(from the prophecies of Mitar Tarabich)
The technology of hyperstition derives these “alternate worlds” through Omega Points, endings, eschatologies that then retroactively produce belief [and by necessity an alternate world] in virtuality. It is said that hyperstition realizes its omega points —this is false— there is a larger movement that canonizes these omega points from virtuality into “Canon reality”.
“Seele, why do you have to introduce that concept this far down this rabbit hole?” you may ask, and here I must remind you that the technology of hyperstition, which searches for omega points, is a function of the Cube [the boundary of possibilities —i.e.: belief], which as an “access point” necessitates a stable position. The position where this world and the other world “Cross” [Golgotha].
To abruptly conclude, let’s return to this quote: “encapsulating the surface of the Sun into a volume that exists only as a mental image of a Cube. To access all energy through a mere mental image is in proximity to the ultimate form of technology”
Simply put, all of this that I just described is implied within our current technological environment. This on the one hand functional: indeed, the internet and digital technology act as an artificial unconscious and an artificial other world, a “dream state” over oneself, but its symbology is also structural: all of this technology takes the shape of cubic forms [as I explain in previous articles].
It is also implied then, that Man, as a participant in creation, has more “tools” at his disposal [like Constellation which is akin to “Tuning” in Dark City] than it was accepted in ”canon” secular history —but uncovering [and covering] this necessitates a technological environment [for this specific state of consciousness to arise] which will, just by its nature, also produce a hostile force accessing our soul [as a resource] through our faith.
EXTRAS:
Here’s a piece from Pavel Florensky on dreams and omega points, he wrote on the significance of icons, images, and retroactivity.
Was watching for those Pavel Florensky chapters to arise and was not disappointed. Thank you!
