Conversations about different aspects of dis_reality, with Pablo Beneito, Hakim Bey, Santiago Lopez Petit, John Zerzan. Recorded by Lewanne Jones, Fred Barney Taylor, Joel Pomeroy and Abu Ali.

The Observatory Archives invites Hakim Bey to reflect on this subject as a contribution to OVNI dis_Reality. Hakim Bey is the pseudonym of Peter Lamborn Wilson (EE. UU. October 1945 - May 2022), an American writer, essay writer and poet who describes himself as an “ontological anarchist” and a Sufi. His 1990 work TAZ: The Temporary Autonomous Zone made him famous. As well as writing a series of essays on the traditions of Chinese secret societies (Tong), Bey introduced the concept of the Temporary Autonomous Zone based on his research into pirate utopias. Bey has also written about figures like Charles Fourier and Friedrich Nietzsche, and on the links between Sufism and ancient Celtic culture. Along with these authors and theories, Situationism has also been an important influence in Bey's texts, which could be considered as an updating of its ideas for the present.

The Observatory Archives invites John Zerzan to reflect on this subject as a contribution to OVNI dis_Reality John Zerzan is an American anarchist and primitivist philosopher and author. His works criticize agricultural civilization as inherently oppressive, and advocate drawing upon the ways of life of prehistoric hunter-gatherers as an inspiration for what a free society should look like. Some of his criticism has extended as far as challenging domestication, language, symbolic thought (such as mathematics and art) and the concept of time. His major books are Elements of Refusal (1988), Future Primitive and Other Essays (1994), Running on Emptiness (2002), Against Civilization: Readings and Reflections (2005) and Twilight of the Machines (2008).

“Estás ciego, todo cuanto ves es pura imagen.”
Mahmud Shabistari, El jardín de los secretos. Persia, siglo XIII.

"Una consideración sobre el sueño y la vigilia nos muestra lo siguiente. En la vigilia el mundo existe iluminado claramente por la luz solar, las cosas parecen estar “ahí afuera” y la consciencia sólo tiene que iniciar el movimiento de apropiación bajo el impulso del deseo. De la vigilia aprendemos la existencia de una realidad. Pero esa realidad es la de lo otro: objetos, seres, etc., y nuestra realidad se define en relación con esta alteridad. En el sueño, sin embargo, la luz que ilumina el mundo y nos lo muestra es la luz de la mente, a solas con nosotros. No podemos hablar de una realidad exterior, es nuestra consciencia la que proyecta el mundo de objetos y seres, es el soñador el que lo crea; un mundo que desparece al despertarnos. El sueño nos libera del tiempo y nos enseña a dudar de la realidad exterior de la vigilia: tal vez despertamos de un sueño para entrar en otro. Quizás la diferencia entre sueño y vigilia sea sólo una diferencia de duración. Finalmente, en el sueño profundo tanto el mundo interior como el exterior desaparecen sin más consecuencias para la consciencia, uno está allí sin sueños, sin deseos, sin mundo".

Satsanga _ Es una palabra del sánscrito, que significa: (Sat = verdad, realidad, Sanga = compañía) dentro de la filosofía Hindú describe: 1. en compañía de la verdad. 2. en compañía de la realidad 3. en compañía de una asamblea de personas que escuchan, hablan y asimilan la realidad.

Je criais contre la vie. Ou pour elle, Vergine Keaton.

Una manada de ciervos se vuelve en contra de los perros de caza que les estaban persiguiendo. A partir de esta persecución, nuevos paisajes surgen de la tierra.
