Charlie McHenry<p>Brain scans of infants reveal the moment we start making memories - A team from Columbia and Yale University scanned the brains of 26 infants and toddlers aged 4 to 25 months as they completed a memory task. They found that at roughly a year old, a part of the brain crucial to memory formation spun into action and began generating neural signals related to things the kids remembered from the tests. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/memory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memory</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/physiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physiology</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/BrainDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrainDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/thinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thinking</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ChildGrowthAndDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChildGrowthAndDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consciousness</span></a> <br><a href="https://singularityhub.com/2025/03/20/new-baby-brain-scans-reveal-the-moment-we-start-making-memories/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">singularityhub.com/2025/03/20/</span><span class="invisible">new-baby-brain-scans-reveal-the-moment-we-start-making-memories/</span></a></p>

Nate Gaylinn<p>I love the idea that consciousness is universal. We often talk like brains <em>generate</em> consciousness, but that's not quite right. They generate our perceptions and our thoughts—basically the <em>contents</em> of our consciousness. But why does that <em>feel like</em> something? And why should we assume people or animals with brains are the only ones that have it? Every living thing senses and adapts to the world around them, even plants and microbes. Maybe they're just mechanical stimulus-response machines, but maybe they have some minimal form of conscious experience? There's no good reason to prefer one answer over the other.</p><p>This video is a fun exploration of that idea, with some great examples from the world of plant intelligence: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP2swgDVl5M" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=nP2swgDVl5M</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consciousness</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>botany</span></a></p>

neural abyss diver<p>an occult education thread 🧵 6/?</p><p>Spare's Zos Kia Cultus - where flesh meets infinity and consciousness dissolves into pure potential.</p><p>let's wade into deeper waters. this isn't just another magical framework or philosophical system. it's a radical reimagining of what consciousness is, what reality can be, and how the body serves as the crossroads between them.</p><p>at its core lies two principles that contain universes within themselves...</p><p>Zos. the body complete. not just flesh and bone but all its possibilities, all its potential forms, all its hidden powers. your meat vehicle, yes, but also the temple where heaven and hell meet. every cell a universe, every nerve ending an oracle, every breath a ritual. Zos isn't just what you are, it's everything you could be. it's the sum total of all possible expressions of your physical form.</p><p>when Spare talks about Zos, he means the body as a living grimoire. your skin is parchment, your blood is ink, your bones are binding. every scar tells a story, every muscle holds memory, every organ sings its own song. the body isn't just a vehicle for consciousness, it IS consciousness in its most concentrated form.</p><p>Zos encompasses not just your physical form but your desires, your instincts, your automatic functions. breathing, heartbeat, digestion - these aren't just biological processes, they're ongoing magical operations. your immune system is practicing war magic. your endocrine system is conducting alchemy. your nervous system is running divination.</p><p>Kia. the cosmic life force. the void that births all things. pure unbound consciousness before it gets trapped in form. not energy, not spirit, but the raw stuff of possibility itself. the space between thoughts where reality bends. Kia is what you are when you stop being anything specific.</p><p>think of Kia as the quantum foam of consciousness. it's what's left when you strip away every label, every identity, every belief. it's the void that precedes creation, the silence between heartbeats, the darkness between stars. it's not nothing - it's everything in potential form.</p><p>Kia manifests through Zos like light through a prism. each body, each form, each manifestation is just one possible expression of this infinite potential. your flesh is where infinity learns its limits, and paradoxically, where limits learn to become infinite.</p><p>this isn't your standard spirit/flesh dualism that pervades western thought. Spare saw them as different expressions of the same thing, like ice and steam are expressions of water. Zos is Kia experiencing itself through limitation. Kia is Zos freed from the prison of identity.</p><p>traditional Western systems try to transcend the body, treat it as a prison for the soul. Spare put it at the center of his practice. your flesh isn't an obstacle to overcome or a sin to transcend. it's the laboratory where magic happens. every sensation, every desire, every bodily function becomes a potential gateway to power.</p><p>the death posture exemplifies this marriage of flesh and infinity. by maintaining an uncomfortable position until exhaustion forces release, you create a moment where consciousness cracks. in that crack, where thought fails and the body screams, reality becomes plastic. the death posture isn't about punishment or transcendence. it's about using physical stress to break the mind's usual patterns. when you can't maintain the position anymore, something has to give. usually it's your normal perception of reality.</p><p>why does this matter to you now? <br>- we live increasingly disembodied lives, floating in digital spaces, forgetting we have flesh. Spare's system grounds us in our bodies while expanding what those bodies can do. it's him telling you to touch grass.<br>- it offers direct access to gnosis without hierarchical structures or expensive tools. just you, your flesh, and the void.<br>- it provides practical methods for radical transformation that don't require belief in any particular system.<br>- it bridges conscious and unconscious in ways that become more relevant as we understand more about neuroscience and consciousness.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaos</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/magic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/magick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magick</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaosmagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaosmagic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaosmagick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaosmagick</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AustinOsmanSpare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AustinOsmanSpare</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ZosKia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZosKia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/occult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>occult</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consciousness</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gnosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnosis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/transformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transformation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/body" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>body</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/reality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reality</span></a></p>
neural abyss diver<p>an occult education thread 🧵 5/?</p><p>let's talk about Spare's approach to servitors and familiars, where chaos meets consciousness in the form of thought-born allies.</p><p>Spare didn't view spirits as external entities to be summoned and bound. instead, he saw them as splinters of consciousness given form through intense belief and desire. his familiars weren't supernatural pets, they were aspects of his own psyche given autonomy to operate independently.</p><p>his infamous Black Eagle familiar wasn't summoned through elaborate ritual. it emerged from his relationship with actual birds, his artistic observations, and his deep understanding that consciousness can fragment and reform at will. he fed it with attention, belief, and regular interaction.</p><p>this is where Spare's genius really shows, he understood that the line between "real" and "imagined" entities is far blurrier than most magicians admit. his familiars were simultaneously psychological constructs AND independent beings. the paradox was the point.</p><p>modern practitioners often miss this nuance. they treat servitors like magical robots, programming them with rigid instructions and wondering why results feel mechanical. Spare's approach was more organic, letting these thought-forms grow naturally, develop their own quirks, even surprise their creator.</p><p>speaking of thought-forms... the modern Tulpa community has independently discovered many of Spare's principles. while their methods differ, the core concept remains. consciousness can be partitioned and given autonomous form through focused belief and interaction. their experiences provide fascinating parallels to magical familiar work. their teachings may help you here.</p><p>here's the really wild part...</p><p>Spare's familiars often manifested through synchronicity rather than spectacle. no dramatic appearances, just an uncanny pattern of meaningful coincidences. the black eagle showed up in art, dreams, random conversations, street signs reality itself became the medium of manifestation.</p><p>this is practical chaos magic at its finest. instead of trying to force reality to accommodate your magic, you let your magic work through reality's existing patterns. your servitors become probability adjusters rather than supernatural servants.</p><p>**warning - creating autonomous thought-forms isn't like programming an app. they can evolve in unexpected ways, develop their own agendas, even outgrow their original purpose. this isn't necessarily bad, but it requires respect and awareness.**</p><p>let's talk about scale and evolution. servitors can grow into egregores when enough people feed them belief and attention. think about brand mascots that take on lives of their own, or how fictional characters sometimes seem to act independently of their creators. the line between servitor and egregore is as blurry as the line between personal and collective consciousness.</p><p>digital space has changed everything. our phones aren't just tools anymore. they're familiar spirits in our pockets. AI chatbots, digital assistants, even social media personas can become modern familiars. the internet itself is a vast network of thought-forms, egregores, and digital spirits all interacting in ways Spare never imagined but would absolutely recognize.</p><p>ethical creation matters. a few ground rules:<br>- give them clear purposes but room to grow<br>- don't create them for harm (they will turn that on you)<br>- respect their autonomy<br>- maintain clear boundaries<br>- regular maintenance or respectful retirement</p><p>warning signs your servitor might be overstepping:<br>- appearing in dreams uninvited<br>- affecting areas of life outside its purpose<br>- causing synchronicities that feel threatening<br>- developing traits you didn't intend<br>- consuming too much of your attention</p><p>🚨 CRITICAL WARNING:🚨<br>never, EVER create servitors with the intent to invoke or merge them back into yourself. they evolve independently and can carry back unwanted changes. you wouldn't drink water you left stagnant for months - don't reabsorb consciousness you've let develop on its own. some doors only open one way.</p><p>when it's time to end the relationship, be clear and respectful. thank them for their service, clearly state the work is complete, and consciously withdraw your attention and belief. some practitioners like to create a formal dissolution ritual. others prefer to let them fade naturally. trust your intuition.</p><p>consider starting small. create a servitor for a specific, limited purpose. observe how it operates, how it communicates, how it affects your reality. document everything, but don't try to control everything. when you feel they're done, allow them to leave gracefully. Mr. Meeseeks was a warning.</p><p>these aren't just tools or pets. they're aspects of yourself given independence to operate in ways your conscious mind can't. treat them with respect, they're as real as you allow them to be.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaos</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/magic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaosmagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaosmagic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaosmagick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaosmagick</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sigils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sigils</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AustinOsmanSpare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AustinOsmanSpare</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/occult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>occult</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gnosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnosis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consciousness</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/desire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>desire</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>power</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/practice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>practice</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/servitors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>servitors</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/familiars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>familiars</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/tulpas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tulpas</span></a></p>
neural abyss diver<p>an occult education thread 🧵 4/?</p><p>common pitfalls</p><p>let's wade into darker waters, the places where Spare's students often drown in their own reflection. these aren't just mistakes; they're seductive dead ends that feel like progress.</p><p>intellectualization is a comfortable poison. it's easy to dissect Spare's theories until they're just dead things on a table. you can understand the mathematics of sigils perfectly, quote his books verbatim, and still be as magically potent as a brick. why? because magic lives in the spaces between thoughts, in the void where intellect fears to tread. Spare didn't think his way to power, he bled for it.</p><p>the most common failure? not actually forgetting the sigil. you craft it perfectly, activate it beautifully, then spend weeks checking for results, wondering if it worked, thinking about what you could have done better. congratulations, you've just strangled your own magic in its crib. the conscious mind is a jealous god; it kills what it watches too closely.</p><p>then there's the aesthetic trap, the instagram grimoire syndrome. your sigils are works of art, your altar looks museum worthy, your magical journal could be published. but magic isn't about looking the part, it's about breaking reality. Spare's art was technically brilliant because he was an artist, not because art makes better magic. your perfectly crafted sigils might actually be too precious to forget.</p><p>the collector's curse is particularly venomous. gathering techniques like trading cards, never sitting with any long enough to draw blood. Spare worked one system until it became his bones, his breath, his being. he didn't need a library of methods because he understood the one thing that mattered: how to slip past the bouncer of consciousness and dance with the void.</p><p>but the deadliest trap? mistaking the map for the territory.

"nothing is true, everything is permitted" became more than a cool quote. it became a practical framework for reality hacking. belief became something to use rather than hold.</p><p>then the internet happened. suddenly sigils were everywhere, hidden in plain sight. corporate logos, viral marketing campaigns, social movements.</p><p>modern chaos magicians realized something profound: if magic is about manipulating symbols and consciousness, what better medium than the internet? your social media feed is just a technologically enhanced sigil stream, bombarding you with symbols and programming your reality.</p><p>Spare would probably laugh at how his ideas evolved. tumblr witches crafting digital sigils, discord servers replacing magical lodges, viral posts becoming mass workings. but he'd recognize the core truth: magic belongs to everyone, works better without pretense, and thrives in the spaces between established power.</p><p>as reality becomes increasingly virtual, the line between magic and technology grows ever thinner. Spare's ideas about consciousness and symbols become more relevant, not less. we're all participating in mass consciousness manipulation whether we realize it or not.</p><p>we're all chaos magicians now. some of us just know it.</p><p>remember: every time you share content that shifts consciousness, you're doing magic. the question is: are you doing it intentionally?</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/chaos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chaos</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/magic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sigils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sigils</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AustinOsmanSpare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AustinOsmanSpare</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/occult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>occult</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gnosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnosis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consciousness</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/desire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>desire</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>power</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/memes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memes</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>internet</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybermagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybermagic</span></a></p>
