Tek-Gnostics Electronic Mystery School
Hedonic Engineering Department
"Imagine a delicate electronic gossamer web encompassing the
Earth.
Luminous, the web's fabric undulates in a psychedelic
array.
Each connection point a shimmering jewel of
information.
Each jewel a access point for a unique human
soul."
Welcome
intrepid cybernaut... having safely navigated the treacherous
realms of cyberspace, you now find yourself within the hallowed
halls of the TEK-Gnostic Electronic Mystery School's department
of "Hedonic Engineering." Here the science of
consciousness
hacking
is explored to it's fullest. In the pursuit of our
explorations, we will employ the existent networking artifacts
at our disposal to advance our knowledge (gnosis) and
communicate that information... for it is in the utilization and
interaction of earth's global electronic medium that the
Hedonic Engineer's unique opportunity for gnosis presents
itself.
The internet is
arguably one of humanity's most ingenious and
ambitious creations to date. It is nothing less than
a vast working model of global consciousness. Each
human with the means to connect to the web becomes,
in a sense, a single, autonomous neuron in the mind
of
Gaia. Given the incredible potential
each individual earthling brings to this system, the
creative possibilities for our global consciousness
are seemingly infinite. As this global
nerve-net becomes more complex and sophisticated, our evolving technologies have accelerated in their
sophistication and complexity.
It has been argued, by scientists, futurists and those
who consider such things, that
within thirty years we will have the technological means to
create superhuman artificial intelligence (AI). The concept has
been given the popular title...
Singularity.
The analogy to the black hole phenomena references the fact that
predicting what the future might look like after AI/human parity
is... unpredictable. The concern that has been raised by the
above thinkers is essentially that at the moment when our
computing technology (AI) surpasses our own intelligence
capacity... at the moment of singularity...
the human era will
come to a close.
There are a variety of scenarios whereby the moment of
singularity comes about. The Tek-Gnostic mechanisms or matrices
are designed to synergistically
participate in this process in a way that is beneficial
for humanity and Gaia, our home world. Our systems of Tek-Gnosis
anticipate a singularity process that facilitates
Intelligence Amplification as opposed to AI. Computer
networks and human-computer interfaces seem more mundane than
Artificial Intelligence, and yet it
is something that is proceeding very naturally, often not even
recognized by the majority of humanity for what it is. But every
time our ability to access information and to communicate it to
other humans is improved, we have achieved an increase
(amplification) over natural intelligence.
In keeping with
one of the eight Tek-Gnostic Prime Directives... "Nothing is
so sacred that it cannot be made fun of" ...we intend to
proceed with a sense of adventure, humor and irreverence. We
ought to enjoy our journey of discovery. And that
is
what Hedonic Engineering is all about... having fun with your
HEAD.
 The Tek-Gnostics Hedonic Engineering Department's
academic curriculum is designed for the intermediate cybernaut.
Our focus is geared toward the activation of the 5th circuit of
the Eight Brain Model
of consciousness.
This vortice or circuit of consciousness within the human body
is roughly equivalent to the vishudda chakra from tantric yoga
teachings. It facilitates communication, independence and
intelligence.
Another desirable outcome of 5th circuit training is an
experience of euphoria. The physical conditioning process
releases endorphins that produce the "High" effect within the
human nervous system. With that said, the intention of the
Tek-Gnostics Hedonic Engineering Department is to provide a
system of understanding in which self-verification of perceived
reality is a fundamental component. The Applied Hedonic
Engineering Program provides the artifacts and
training
necessary to pursue the Higher
Education of the HEAD Revolution.

A
certain amount of initial research is expected of the
aspiring Hedonic Engineer prior to undertaking the
advanced coursework. We
provide resources in a variety of preliminary formats.
Below you will find options leading to components of the
Tek-Gnostic system. Choose wisely, for it is in the
choosing that the unique path unfolds. The choice of
which facet of Matrix (or the Force as it is sometimes
referred) to pursue is essential in determining
subsequent study. It is in the interaction of Matrix &
Tekgnostic that insight is gained.
