idea: Facebook of the future

what if Facebook develops technology that allows people to share their pictures with aliens, i.e. by encoding images into radiowaves and blasting them into outer space? (with embedded 'like' button of course)

inspired by this article: http://www.thecreatorsproject.com/de/blog/werner-herzog-and-trevor-paglen-discuss-blasting-art-into-space-to-amuse-aliens

Idea: From memorial of fear to memorial of wisdom

Last year I published a post Love instead of Fear about Berlin's  Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe .

Here's an alternative proposal:

Why not use the medium to promote the ancient Jewish teachings of enlightenment?

Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings to explain the relationship between an unchanging, eternal and mysterious Ein Sof (no end) and the mortal and finite universe (his creation).



The grey blocks would be covered with ancient artistic drawings, symbols and charts explaining the mysteries of life and death.

P.S. The wind comes from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_Industry

Idea: Mandala art + consumer products

i.e. Converse brand:

Idea: Superfishial brand

Thought it would be nice to see a brand that is honest about itself, i.e. a fashion brand or a glam mag:

My Big Bang theory ft. Ouroboros

The problem of conventional scientists to explain the origin of Big Bang seems to me quite obvious - they miss a spiritual element in their equations.

This is how I see the cause and origin of Big Bang:

 


I see the Attractor (Cause) being similar to Black Worm. Its head is in the Invisible World and its tail in the Visible World. The Worm 'spits out' the idea of a Universe, the idea penetrates the 'veil' and appears in the visible world as a dot. This is the instance of Big Bang and beginning of the visible phenomena of the idea. The universe is 'pushed' from the Invisible world, in the Visible world it is 'pulled' back to the original source - the mysterious Cause-Attractor, which is the magnetically charged tail ( back side) of the Worm.

As the visible Universe is getting closer to the tail of the Worm it accelerates, until eventually it reaches its Cause and flips back into the Invisible world towards the other side of the Worm. ('Head' and 'Tail' are opposite sides of the Black Worm which has a shape of a doughnut.)
In philosophy the Black Worm is referred as Nous (Universal Mind). In ancient mysticism it was pictured as Ouroboros.

Back in the Invisible 'brain' of the Ouroboros the Universe is being 'copied' in the Mind (memory), 'enriched' with a memory of a previous incident (cycle) and propelled further down the line to make a new cycle of its perpetual evolution.

The Black Worm evolves itself by following the same circular pattern through the body ('head' and 'tail') of its own Creator - a superior Cause.

I will expand this idea in my new upcoming book.

Idea: Generative music Tarot bot

There are 78 cards in a standard deck of Tarot made up of two arcana which are the major arcana and the minor arcana. Each card is assigned a corresponding note, i.e. The Magician = E; High Priestess = G#; The Empress = F#; The Emperor = C; The Hierophant = C#, Four of Wands = C / F# and so on.

When you make a spread, for example a classic Celtic Cross that consists of 10 cards, the app would generate musical sequence based on notes of each card in the spread. Thus each Tarot spread combination would acquire a unique sound signature.

For example:

Additionally for each individual pattern users can choose instruments, ambience, drones, etc. The app would also try to automatically generate the most harmoniously sounding combinations (out of the 10 given notes).

Alt idea: Measures of Happiness

I really like the idea of measuring happiness across countries in an attempt to spark interest in using the emotion as metric for public policy. Here's an article about NYU's graduate student who set about baking the happy Index into cupcakes:

What i don't like is the medium chosen as it doesn't accurately reflect the country's data.

A better way to conduct the experiment would be to use a special app that would allow people to rate their daily moods using their mobile phones, i.e. sliding a bar between "plus" and "minus".

The ratings then would be automatically uploaded to a special website where the data is analysed and displayed in a personal timeline (a graph). Also, people could enter tags and upload pics. When online they can easily access any day of their life by simply clicking on the graph.

The app should be freely available in every country of the world.

Coincidence or not?

This idea apparently has won Bronze Lion @ Cannes this year. It was submitted by DDB BRASIL São Paulo. What's curious is that I have posted an identical idea 2 years ago here on my blog.

 And here's a screenshot from my Google Analytics page that shows viewing traffic of my blog from  São Paulo:

 

Coincidence or not, you can make up your mind.

Concept: Postcards as magick talismans

There are 7 cards. Each card is designed as a planetary talisman corresponding to a particular day of a week. Each talismanic card focuses on a particular spiritual force that, when ‘activated’, can help in achieving personal dreams and goals.

Concept of mandala design:

A sacred name of planetary intelligence is spun around with a precise number of divisions to create a dynamic ‘vortex’ with a centre. (example above: Moon mandala with 81 divisions.) A word placed in the centre of this vortex automatically acquires its dynamic properties.

Graphics of the talisman include:

1. Name and glyph of the planet.
2. Glyph of the intelligence.
3. Mandala of the intelligence’s glyph with corresponding number of divisions.
4. Sacred numbers corresponding to the planet.
5. Planetary seal.
6. Space inside the mandala to write your wish.

How to use talismanic cards:

1. Make a wish.
2. Choose a card with talismanic properties related to your wish. For example, Venus properties are helpful in matters of the heart; Mars is useful when you need aggressive energy boost; Mercury helps in matters of communication and business, and so on. (see the full list below)
3. Print the card and write a wish in the centre of mandala. 
4. Put the card in an envelope, write down your own postal address on it and post it to yourself on the day of the week corresponding to the card. For example, Moon is for Monday, Mars is for Tuesday, etc. (If your post office is not open on Sunday, just drop it in the letter box.) 
5. Once you receive your post card back, the talisman would be officially ‘activated’ on the date indicated on the post office stamp.

From Nobel to Flamel

A headline I'd like to see in the near future:

In an effort to promote unselfish human gene, a secret society of alchemists openly admits its possession of Life Elixir - a substance with  mystical powers to induce immortality.

The society firmly states that Elixir of Life will never be offered for sale,  but instead given for free to the most unselfish people of the world,  for example, to publicly nominated candidates at a special annual Unselfish Gene Flamel Prize event, named after the acclaimed medieval alchemist Nicolas Flamel.

Flamel Prize. 
Unselfish people deserve to live longer.

Concept: Future drugs

A selection of pills that change personal perception of reality and allows to see oneself from other person's point of view, i.e.:

Post Modern Banking

At the moment banks make profit from playing with customer’s savings as well as charging them with different sorts of fees related to the accounts.
Thus bankers make a double-kill: they ‘milk’ people and the people’s money. This might be acceptable in the past but is increasingly seen as unethical and greedy. Especially in the light of Occupy Wall Street movement which sends a clear message: Greed is bad for business!

I’d like to see a bank with honest strategy: PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT. 

1. The bankers should realize that when customers give their money/savings to a bank, it’s the bank’s privilege and not the customer’s.

2. Practically it means that a bank should treat its private account holders as equal partners and make all their accounts activity absolutely FREE (no annual fees for credit cards, any money transactions or any other hidden or unhidden costs.)

3. The bank makes money only from outside business investments!

Concept: Skin patches to produce mouth flavour

A skin patch that produces taste in the mouth, i.e.: mint, lemon, barbeque, etc.

Use: wear the patch during meals to add flavour or between meals for refreshment.

Concept: Skin Gardens

In the future people will be growing food on their bodies.
The seeds of nano-food would be ‘planted’ by oral ingestion and following the natural cycles the harvest would grow on a chosen part of the human skin. The food would be consumed by simply scraping it off the skin and digesting it.

Responsible Smoking vs Anti-Smoking

 


In the future people will recognize the harm being done to public health by ‘negative suggestion’ methods used in current anti-smoking campaigns. 

A new campaign ‘Smoke responsibly’ will be adopted as an official strategy. The strategy won’t be trying to scare the smokers but rather engage them in a dialog.

Long Hair Hypothesis

"Hair is the pranic antenna. It is energy, pure protein.” Yogi Bhajan

According to ancient wisdom our hair is directly related to pineal gland. The pineal gland is responsible for our DNA system. It is referred to as being the seat of the Soul or the seat of consciousness.

From these one can further extrapolate that people with long hair (longer antennas) are likely to be more sensitive to changes in the environment and cosmic radiation of consciousness. People with long hair are also more comfortable with ASC (Alternative States of Consciousness) and less susceptible to mind control and violence.

Conclusion: Why shave?

p.s. a new campaign for Vidal Sassoon, perhaps? ;)
