Heads Introduction
This text does not try to be compendium of possible "Heads"; that would be impossible and pointless, as there seem to be as many heads as there have been individuals on the planet. Even more as every moment each person could be in a different head. Instead, I have attempted to describe what I see as some underlying features and capacities of consciousness.
This text may seem strangely serious to those familiar with my writing. Sorry about that I promise more jokes and paradoxes next time.
Chapter 0 may be considered a joke upon the reader: how else would you describe an attempt to describe the indescribable? Nevertheless, I have left it in more for the sake of completeness than anything else. Chapter 1 contains the basis of the book and it can be seen as a metaprogram waiting to be uploaded. It deals with the basic interpretive circuit that seems to underlie most common forms of consciousness.
The two parts of Chapter 2 deal with specific, if broad, heads. These are not necessarily root heads in the way as head1 but I have included them because they are the two major ways that consciousness deals with itself. At the moment, the scientist and shaman are very much at war in our society although I do not feel this has to be the case. To be honest I find anyone who is only capable of seeing the world from only one of these points of view a bit tedious to say the least. Hence in these chapters unpleasant things are said about fundamentalists of both sides and those who try to explain one in the terms of the other.
Although these two heads appear as a duality here it should be remembered that from any point of view outside of these two no duality appears.
Not all of the concepts in this text should be thought of as wholly original as the "further reading" section of each chapter shows. With this in mind, I would like to thank everyone who had an idea I nicked and indeed the entire history of human thought.
