New and Improved-- The Medusa Recordex (developing)

The Medusa Recordex is the product of many years of reality engineering at The Black Mansion Labs. It is a unique recording tool that renders in complete detail all of the nodes of perceptual reality involved in any particular point in space/time in which the Recordex is deployed. The perceptions are not limited to thought and emotion, but encompass the entire experience, including the physical energetic. This encompasses the full perceptual experiences of all present intelligence during any event, which are then available for playback. In effect this vastly expands the user's own perceptual experience, which is the intended use of The Medusa Recordex. The resulting perceptual record can be played back with any extant point of view isolated, or with any number of them occurring in simultaneity. Skill is required to comprehend multiple views in simultaneity, as this requires the facility to divide one's own perception internally. This faculty takes much practice to develop, but test subjects have been found, with many, many uses to develop the ability to split mind into multiple streams of consciousness, thus expanding their own perceptual awareness to near infinitude in comparison with the normal state of human intelligence. Like Medusa of myth, these subjects are able to achieve a multi-directional-perceptual view of reality in both space and time. In fact, one of the secrets of the creation of The Medusa Recordex was its tuning to the frequency of the fixed star Algol in the constellation Perseus. (We will, later, more to say about the stellar tuning of the technology.) The ultimate outcome is that individual consciousness is rendered rhizomated by the steady and expanding application of The Medusa Recordex, and thus the capacity for ecstasy is wildly enhanced, which is the goal of the project. It was long ago determined that higher levels of consciousness, and thus the transformation of human reality to a more groovy plane depend upon the increase of ecstatic viability of the entire species.

Of course, the Medusa Recordex is not for everyone. Careful screening is required in order to determine the fitness of any individual for use of the Recordex, as many of the initial test subjects were rendered unable to re-integrate their own consciousness after one introductory session with the device, with those unfortunate subjects being rendered catatonic as stone within seconds, frozen immobile, looks of terror still etched on their countenances as their hearts stopped solid in their chests. We are continuing to work on overcoming these difficulties, but there is still a certain danger. Thus, it is only after exhaustive testing by a technician using the Recordex that one is approved for a test run in which numerous filters are employed in order to narrow the flow of perception, determining by steps the subject's fitness for the experiment. The perceptual experiences available range from wildly ecstatic and blissfully pleasurable all the way to horrific and hellishly painful, depending upon the events and the participants. We have found that the continued use dance, yoga and other movement practice increases the ability of all subjects to withstand the rigors of the Recordex, which is why the regular admonition in these parts for all humans to immediately and regularly bust a move.

Protocols have also been established by careful testing on the experimental cat to render the experience more palatable. The cat couldn't care less because it's a cat and it's already used to time travel. We are working toward making The Medusa Recordex available to all, but caution is necessary. One must be prepared for the experience.  First time users find themselves overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information available even during the recommended for beginners solo recordings, for what they instantly discover is that there are no solo events. That all of creation is, in fact, perceiving at all times becomes instantly clear.

The Medusa Recordex is an actual device which was placed in a secret location in an adjacent dimension so as to prevent unsanctioned use of or tampering with the device. It uses a reality portal in this physical dimension to interface with users of the device. The Medusa Recordex is thus linked through the medium of  The Hoodoo Altar, which requires a specific, unduplicatable key for access. The key is the keeper of Hoodoo Altar, who must psychically access the device where she placed it in the adjacent dimension and then connect with the individual human subject in this reality. This means that anyone can access The Medusa Recordex if they can communicate through The Hoodoo Altar, which is open to many imaginal frequencies. Extreme novelty is the power source for the device, so one must only imagine the requirements.

Dance. Obviously. Do it like you're in Walla Walla, even if you're not.
