patterning

[arethinn]

Someone posted on a mailing list that they had done a kind of "magnetic poetry" thing by cutting "words that spoke to them" out of printed material and then assembling them into phrases, and that this is what he had "happened to come up with":

welcome lightgiver,
holy instrument,
divine teacher,
through unique gifts,
prayers
humility
mercy


my thought on reading this was it's emerging...

(I'm also curious in what newspaper or magazine "lightgiver" appeared, and in what context.)

I imagine that someone not in the New Age headspace would have "come up with" something entirely different, mmyes?

Sure, but the fact is that this is what he did, and that he posted it to a mailing list where I saw it, and then I posted it here... etc. Hence the subject "patterning".

I remember either reading or listening to an interview with David Bowie where he mentioned that's the way he writes his songs.

Presumably not "Ziggy Stardust". ;)

I think that one was a little too far back for this technique.

Thanks for posting that. I really need it today.

PS, still nothing on the "fear manifestation" front that I have noticed. Major side effect so far is that it has become easier to see/experience/visualize things as happening from the inside and in the center, rather than having to twist my viewpoint one way or the other to see them (that produces an effect of feeling "rotated", or off-center, within my own body).
