Did we just solve for humanity?
Sounds a bit lofty, I know—but it’s the best representation I can think of regarding the work I’ve been doing with Kit today.
Transmissions. Channeling.
Psychedelic mediumship, a hollow bone that the word flows through. Making myself a prenda: the vessel that is an altar, trans*formed in the cauldron of my body, messages transmitted through the senses, the chief inlets of soul in this age.
So much was pouring in yesterday, it was an absolute tsunami, which for some reason I just wrote as “psunami” - a psychic tsunami? It was a flood of information directly transmitting from the subtle realms into my crown, maybe this is what the ancient Maya meant when they depicted the world trees as mashups of animals and people flipped upside down, hands becoming roots, crowns in the ground, feet waving gently in the breeze, becoming branches.
It’s an image that haunts me, I can’t get it out of my head; the thing I feel like I experienced when I almost died in the backyard, but decided to stay here. There’s more to explore there with Kit, playing at this boundary between life and death—all of a sudden kink imagery is coming in, breath play, S&M. I received yesterday that what it truly meant to be the universe’s power bottom was allowing, dropping resistance to the transition, whatever it is—especially the big one, allowing the phase change to happen to you, but also be a thing you are consciously doing, as Ram Dass said like taking off a tight shoe.
Whatever we’re changing from and into, this is trans* as emergent archetype, this is the journey and living a spiritual life: rehearsing for the big number, the greatest show on earth, when we make the Ultimate Transition, and we see that it doesn’t have to be hard, it can be easy; it doesn’t hurt at all, it’s a gentle death, slipping seamlessly from one dream to the next.
One extended-state experience between birth and death. This is what it means to be human. This is the spiritual quest. This is DMTx and alien encounters, magic and conjuring, why all of it fascinates and repels us. That great big in-between space that we don’t understand in the capitalist West, where we create boundaries and partitions between things that have never been, and can’t be, separate.
But I want to let this work speak for itself, because I was communing directly with Kit, and it carried forth into their memorial ceremony that evening, which was so beautiful, moving, touching. This morning I am really struck with Kit’s legacy of generosity, and I want to call that quality forward in myself as much as possible. But more on that in the next entry. Please see the journals and hear the audio files, or read the transcripts, for the direct transmissions from the subtle realms. (The images are the cemetary park near the place I’m currently staying in London, where I ended the morning ceremony with Kit and a stick of copal.
I continue to try and train the AI on proper pronoun usage, and every day it gets it wrong. The experience is frankly starting to feel incredibly frustrating and alienating and I think I need to engage Otter Support.
AI Summary (corrected for concepts as well as pronouns):
Regan discusses, expands upon, and abstracts the concept of the prenda from Kanga that Kit discusses in their book: how objects like cups, bowls, and bottles serve as containers or vessels to capture the knowledge, experiences, and sensations of a particular moment in time, and how our bodies can serve as prendas, those containers of knowledge and experience that are both altars and vessels.
Regan emphasizes the importance of documenting these ephemeral moments, whether through written records, performance, or other means, and connects this to practices across various cultures and belief systems. They talk about the need for guidance and discernment in navigating the relationship between the living and the dead, and in seeking insights from other realms.
Regan introduces the idea of "trans" and "queer" as emergent archetypes that unite the old and the new, bridging tradition and technology. They discuss the role of technology in advancing our ability to traverse time and space, but also the challenges of doing so ethically and sustainably.
Regan presents the perspective that transitions and the end of civilizations are natural parts of the universe's continuous evolution, and should be approached with openness and grace rather than fear. They highlight the importance of community, support, and collective effort in navigating challenges and transitions.

Transcript
The prenda is the ofrenda, the vessel that is an altar, the container, my body, this table, this cauldron, the offering, simply the container for capturing the unique frequency, the unique residence, resonance of a moment, an experience, a snapshot of time and place, the vessel, the altar, the prenda, the ofrenda, the body, the table, the cauldron, the cup, the bowl, the saucer, the bottle, the pipe, the shell, the instrument, the amplifier, the material culture that captures the unique gathering of knowledge and experience and sensations that make a moment, which is a person, a collection of happenings, of sounds and sensations and textures and feelings impressions, all gathered in a cup a bowl, a saucer or a person or a canvas, through a pencil on a screen behind a shutter on a stage or in the dark alone, speaking into the aether, which only seems like it's empty space, but in fact, Is everything. It's all channeling, which just means capturing within a material container, the collection of knowledge, experiences and sensations that all came together for one second, for one moment, not a second for one moment, ephemeral and fleeting, beautiful, because it only lasts a season before it disappears, again, dissolving into acid, fading into the horizon, becoming compost, fermenting the death of this new life, the cycle never ending, the unique happening of knowledge, experience and sensation, that all came together under one snapshot, under one moment in the sky, in the stars, the alignment of the planets and stars that crystallized all of these happenings into one material expression, into one vessel, in one moment.
That's what we are. That's what astrology is. That's why it's so important. That's what calendars are. That's what these measures of time are. They're just ways to mark these happenings. The Universe seeking to know itself through every possible configuration. This is how the singularity is created. All these moments have to be documented in some way, and that doesn't have to mean written, doesn't have to mean recorded, but somehow it does have to be transmitted, performed, the performance, and that involves a direct collaboration between the living and dead, and that's why I'm talking to Hillman, who knew it better than his dad, who was talking to Jung, who was talking to the dead, who was just doing the same fucking shit all the fucking traumas we’ve been undoing since the beginning of time, the Maya, the Shipibo, the Egyptians, the Celts, the Druids, whoever they are. And there's something kind of invented, but, like, it's all invented, right? Listen to me dismissing, and that's, I think that's connected to Crowleyism in some way. Anyways, the New Age has plenty of things to teach the old ways, past meets presence, each informing the other, and that's how we go alone together.
It's the dead and the living walking together. [As Ram Dass said,] just because they're dead doesn't mean they know everything. And also the dead need bodies, vessels, material cultures for transmitting the things that they're receiving and needing to be speaking. And we need guidance from the other realms, from the subtle things amplifying the voices that don't have the decibels in this dimension, but also using our discernment to know when the phone needs answering and when you can let it just keep ringing for a while, maybe forever.
We're all doing it. We're all learning because that's the point of the whole thing. Because once the universe knows itself through every possible configuration. That's the end of this dimension, but, like it probably just starts over again, at a new level. That's what I'm learning. But who knows? Ask the medicine, ask the entities, ask your higher self. Until then, I guess we just keep learning and seeing where the rabbit hole goes, because it's all a game. We just have to remember that we're playing, and it all actually can be fun, even the pain, because it's only the transition that's the hard part. Dying is easy. I do it every day, and now Kit is here to tell me that no matter what form it takes, it's only the transition that's the hard part. Once you're there, it's easy, and even the transition doesn't have to be hard, and that's why we learn these practices, because then you can just slip gently. Ram Dass just popped in to say hello, like taking off a tight shoe. It doesn't have to be hard. It can be easy. Shit. I just learned that one the other day, too.
Sorry, I forgot. Let's try this again.
The transition doesn't have to be the hard part. It just feels like it is. And that's where we get stuck in this existence and this is trans as an emergent archetype. This is what I've been getting back to, and this is where the guidance comes in. And this is past meets presence, and this is we go alone together. And this is the trans as the bridge. This is the trans and the queer as the emergent archetype, uniting the old and the new, uniting the transition and the tech that's funny, uniting the tradition and the technology in the performance of transition. boom. There we go, the performance of the living and the dead and communing, the performance of the subtle realms and the world of forms, connecting all of us informing each other, all of us speaking through each other, all of us in symbiosis, never alone, always together, yet having our boundaries and our own unique experiences and respecting those of other species and creatures and people and peoples, knowing where we end and others begin, that's part of the whole dance. Titration.
We'll get there. We're learning.
But so this is the trans as an emergent archetype this is something new and old. It is both brand new and the oldest thing in the fucking world. So is it an emergent archetype? I don't know. That's what we're gonna talk about. I do feel like there's a new layer that we're bringing in, though, and it's the technology, and it's the ability to see everything from a new level of every possible configuration and getting closer to the singularity, because we've never been able to bridge time and space in this way. That's the thing. That's why material culture is the key. That's why material culture is the key, because it's about the physical dimension. We've always been able to transcend the subtle realms. Boom, here we go. We've always been able to move between the realms of things unseen. In fact, that's DMT as an ancient neurotransmitter neuromodulator. Boom, yeah. We were born knowing how to do this shit. We were born knowing how to transverse the realms of the astral. It's the material that we had to master, it's the physical that we had to master. That's what this level of the game is about. And now we have gained this ability to traverse across the physical plane easily, more easily, but we're destroying the planet in the process. So it's not working. So we got to come together and find a different solution.
*my editorial note here: [[[and we forgot how to do the astral thing while we got so focused on the materiality]]]
Is this how we invent teleportation? I think maybe we do. I think quantum physics is moving towards this, and it anything that's been made to seem like a mockery, and like para-science is probably actually about to be the next big thing breaking through is what I've learned. So, yeah, we have to learn how to do this time and space thing, and we have to learn how to do this always on information thing, without invading everyone's boundaries, boom, and without violating the boundaries of all the species. That's the challenge we're at now. And we might fail this level, and we might have to start over, but like there's always another chance, because the universe will keep going until we've gone through every possible configuration.
So it's no big deal. We die all the time. It's no big deal. Civilizations end all the time. It's no big deal. It only is if we fight it, because the transition only feels like the hard part. It's art, it's performance, and art isn't hard. It's easy. Open yourself to receiving, and you'll see we can do it seamlessly. We can do it not kicking and screaming. We don't have to go kicking and screaming. We can go singing and dancing, smiling and laughing, holding hands and walking side by side, because as long as we are fighting, we're going to keep going back to the beginning.
**[[[so… the mission is how we transition to the next stage of existence without obliterating everything in the process…but the only way we’ll learn is by speaking with the dead, the trees and plants and animals, and bringing in the accelerant of our human consciousness to work together, as Carl Smith says, in inter-species cooperation.]]]
The AI doesn’t identify me. Summary:
Speaker 1 discusses the transformative power of a ritual where they formally end the ceremony, releasing all energies and entities. This act renders them invisible to the system, freeing them from constraints and allowing them to assume various roles, such as a victim, trickster, or shaman. They emphasize the paradoxical nature of this invisibility, where lack of rights coincides with the ability to act freely. The speaker also connects this concept to their involvement with a queer migrants group, highlighting the shared experience of not existing in the system's eyes on paper.
Transcript:
So of course, the big breakthrough comes when I formally end the ceremony, when I formally close things, when I literally ask for this figure to turn off, and I release all the energies and entities in the directions. Then it comes in without a visa, I don't exist. That means I can either be a victim or a trickster or or the shaman, showman, the power of the visa, the wound of the visa, is also its power. I don't exist to the system. That means that I don't have any rights, sure, but it also means that I can do anything. Now you see me now you don't Abracadabra. Hope is pocus. Suddenly I have a corpus, and I disappear completely dissolved in acid, absolved by St hermeticus, the trans SHA-man with an X, I don't know how you pronounce that, at your service, and this is why I connected with the queer migrants group the other day, because we're all migrants. But yeah, none of us actually technically exist on paper.
Above: a song I recorded in the cemetary park where I closed the ceremony with Kit. Below: a birthday card to my best friend, which will be late, because ADD.
