Antimemetic

I had been working with a friend for a while. The issue is complex, and I certainly don’t have all the answers. I’m not going to get into a lot of details in this entry, other than that, my friend greatly suspect that her destiny was somehow stolen.

In the New Age community, there is a belief that we reincarnate to learn karmic lessons. We chose and agree to soul contracts, chief among them our parents, which sets up the circumstances of our births, and those whom we meet. Those circumstances can be difficult, yet people are encouraged to see that there is a way to work through them.

Karma, in that sense, can be given up, abandoned, or passed. Can it be stolen? [1]

Even more, some of suspected people involved were people who were entrusted with one’s spiritual journey. They acted like the equivalent of a spiritual fuduciary. While tales of gurus and teachers who have abused or exploited disciples and students have surfaced up over the years and decades – it is already devestating to go through such experiences – there is a general assumption that the process of karmic evolution itself is not exploited or abused. That those with the spiritual authority to do so, intends to liberate, not to imprison.

It is already difficult enough to go through challenging experiences. That such a process can be stolen and one’s path rendered impossible due to someone else’s actions is a huge violation that goes beyond social contracts.

If such a thing occurs, who is there to enforce this? Wouldn’t that then also mean, the cosmos allows such a thing? That there is evil and evil doing even at the most fundemental levels of the cosmos? Understanding good, bad, and evil as a human social construct is often a big breakthrough in one’s spiritual journey. Wouldn’t this compromise this process?

This line can lead to some very dark places.

As incredible as it seems, we want to be careful. And yet, every time I had come to this, even thinking, yes, it is worth investigating. Yet it is almost as if the idea erases itself. Tools and psychic methods I might start to probe just fizzles, as if the very intent disappeared before even getting started.

I had asked my friend to send me what she experienced. And she eventually did. The feeling did not really bloom until this past Saturday. It was persistent, and resistent, things seeming to revert after some work. Working with that was a whole journey all on its own, and involved an experience I had years ago. I felt drained, fatigued, and it was also affecting my day-to-day life to some extent.

My friend wasn’t idle either. Last night, I felt a shift.

I had also synchronicitically, came across a fiction about Antimemes. That wasn’t the first time I had came across this idea. This very story was posted on Hacker News a few years ago, and the web serial The Path of Ascension had a character that uses an anti-memetic concept to hide. However, at this point last night, it was eerie seeing this work of fiction, since it felt like I saw it for the first time, until the introduction mentioned, “this is not your first day.”

As a magical concept, an antimemetic property is very powerful, yet it had never occurred to me that I might find something like that in the wild, or experienced how it affected me. If it were not for the shift in my friend, I don’t think I would have been able to mobilize my will to really track it down.

As such, this antimemetic concept was encoded within the yin qi field, so it is already obscured. It makes sense. I am not sure something that we can construct an antimemetic field from yang qi, as any intent or encoding to erase something would be applied as an imposition (resulting in two layers of yang qi, instead of disappearing).

It isn’t the attraction-repulsion polarity I had been working with, though this may be a higher-level concept using that polarity.

As far as what is generating it, what I got was almost like a cockroach. It was still too obscured for me to make out clearly. It has an instinct to avoid scrutiny, running away from the light of awareness.

Once past the antimemetic field, applying the method of Vajrakilaya was easily able to pin it. I let it go, however. I want it to run back to its master, or at least, map out where it is fleeing.

I was able to change a part of it into yang qi, as a kind of a beacon. I was then inspired to change it again so that it was on its butt, since it has some kind of instinct to always be moving away from scrutiny. We’ll see if we can track it back. I can feel it affecting things it was influencing in the collective, and we’ll see if we can observe shifts in the collective consciousness.

There are also some followups:

• Can we change something antimemetic to something memetic?
• Can we combine it with a contagion affect, to make what was being obscured to something that’s surfaced up into the collective?

And of course, broader questions about stolen destiny remains to be investigated.

Endnotes

1. I say “karma” being stolen, but what is going on in my friends case may be something else stolen, and is even more precious.

2. (to be added)

3. Something antimemetic is self-censoring, self-erasing. I think this is distinct from a complete resolution of karma. In the latter case, the entire karmic story, from beginning to end, being concluded, starts disappearing, because that expression of karma is no more in the timeline. That disappearance is gradual, as the people involve forgets. If I were the person who facilitated the healing, perhaps it will linger longer, but it too eventually disappears. I hope to write more fully on this and other phenomena in the Book of Karma
