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? ;)
Real experience vs ads
To celebrate its 50 years anniversary of cleanness, Dash (washing powder) makes a super present for its customers - a life time trip to Antarctica - to experience the last pure and clean part of the world.
I believe the memories of such a trip will stay with people much longer than any ad or gimmick.

How my mind works (hypothesis)
Contrary to what i have been taught that it's a human mind that generates ideas, i believe that in my case it can be the opposite: ideas come from afar and shape my mind.
This is roughly how it goes:
Ideas (data) come from a big suprafield >> enter my personal field of consciousness (the cloud of personal mental sensitivity that surrounds my brain) >> there they get meshed up in the resonance of my mind field which allows to create new patterns and sequences of the received data. As soon as the new information has been created in my mind, it gets 'sucked out' from my personal field back into the suprafield.
Foundation of the hypothesis:
Contrary to a popular belief that our universe is expanding by 'pushing' (explosion from within), there is a theory that argues that the universe is expanding by 'pulling' (implosion from without), in other words the universe is being pulled apart by an invisible force from without called Attractor (Black Hole). I believe that this is also true with all ideas (data). In other words, I am not 'pushing' ideas out, it is the suprafield's gravity (Mental attractor) that pulls ideas out of my mind.
Conclusion:
Mental Black Hole shapes my ideas.

The end of Commodity Age
Commodity paradigm is increasingly becoming obsolete.
The process of 'uncommodification' has already started with information.
ALL information wants to be free (of charge).
When this happens - uncommodification of physical stuff will follow.

Idea for a coffee brand
I'd have a lot of respect for a coffee brand that sponsors not only physical wakefulness, but also the spiritual. For example, investing in projects like this:
Social Media Marketing "creative" contest scheme
That's roughly how it goes:
A brand posts online a brief with a reward for best idea (a tiny tiny fraction of what a professional ad agency would ask) and invites everybody to participate. Soon it receive hundreds of submissions from the general public participants attracted by the reward. Next step: they rate each others ideas (usually the most conventional ideas are most popular!), then the brand's jury makes its pick (usually the most popular ideas - not to upset the public!) and the winner gets his or her bounty.
Now, what happens to the rest of submissions? Here's the clever part:
They get further promotion for free by their authors as their personal creative endeavors across many other channels of social media, i.e. 'hey, check out my idea' on Tweeter, FB, Youtube, personal websites, etc. And for the brand it doesn’t really matter whether these ideas are crap or not. The most important – they keep the brand’s visibility.
So, for a price of a bicycle (or so) the brand kills 2 birds at the same time – generation of content (within the contest) and continuous promotion of the content free of charge by the same public across their personal channels afterwards. Here’s an example of a crappy idea with 936 views on Youtube.
It seems to me that when it comes to social media engagement, quality of ideas (originality, innovation, etc.) is not a priory. What really matters here is the quantity of ideas and their perpetual and free promotion on the web by the authors themselves.
Imho, I don't see this model of social marketing as a long runner.

On Noosphere, Mental Mutation and 2012
The term Noosphere was coined by Vladimir Vernadsky in the beginning of last century. Basically, it can be described as a planetary mental layer.
The affect of human thought on the planetary whole system is a sign of the commencement of the next major evolutionary shift, from the biosphere to the noosphere.
Evolution of Earth as whole system consists of five major subsystems:
1. Lithosphere, from crystal-magma iron core and the various mantels, up to and including the tectonic plates and land masses.
2. Hydrosphere – the unified ocean as well as lakes and river systems.
3. Athmosphere – the electrodynamic systems and cycles that determine and control the weather patterns, incl. of ionosphere and the electromagnetic fields.
4. Biosphere –life as a unitary phenomenon, the vitalization of matter, incl. of the inorganic cycles and systems which support it.
5. Noosphere – the planetary thinking layer – largely a function of the most recent biological stratum of the biosphere, the human. It includes conscious human and a superconscious superhuman evolutionary phase, and involves artificial middle term known as the technosphere, which is itself concluded by the information sheathe known as cybersphere.
In short, Noosphere is a deeply woven collective dream.
Noosphere accommodates all the planetary intelligence, it has everything to do with the quality and nature of our thoughts, and not just individually but about ourselves as a species.
As living substance, the biosphere maintains its balance as a biomass constant consisting of the symmetry of two forms of life: autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic – are those forms of living substance that are self sustaining, thriving on mineral, water, athmosphere and solar-cosmic radiation. – this is the green world, the plant kingdom in general, incl. the plankton and algae of the sea. Heterotrophs are the animals – from insects to humans – that live off other forms of life. Some heterotrophs are herbivores, some carnivores, some both. The point is that the biomass constant is maintained as an equilibrium of these two kinds of life.
The hypothesis of biosphere-noosphere transition: when in the process of the complexification of matter the biosphere reaches a point of maximum crisis – biochemical combustion – it mutates into a new condition, the noosphere.
As Noosphere refers to the planetarization of consciousness, a critical point in the transition to the noosphere is the consciousness of critical minority sufficient to engender, by their awareness and subsequent actions, the actual passage of the noosphere going from the individualized unconscious chaos of the technosphere to the incipient cosmic order of the noosphere as a conscious regulating mechanism.
Stages of Intelligent unfoldment in the Cosmic Evolution of Matter:
The tendency of matter is to develop in the direction of irreversible complexification and to ultimately evolve into the condition of cosmic consciousness. Within the planetary sphere the stages are:
1. Crystalization. Molecular compounds self-organized into strict sets of generally symmetrical/ geometrical form structures – cubes, octahedrons, hexagons… their combinations and clusters.
2. Vitalization. Stage where the complexification of matter experiences the capacity for autogenesis and self-replication. Engenders biospheric horizon.
3. Hominization. Stage where vitalized matter becomes vehicle of intelligence capable of sustaining consciousness. Engenders noosphere as unconscious planetary medium.
4. Superhominization. Stage where consciousness and intelligence attain planetarization or full noospheric consciousness and function.
The real cause of ‘Global Crisis’ and impending system shutdown:
Increasing solar (cosmic) radiation affects DNA structures of all living organisms on earth. What it means is that our reaction to the same events we had many times before is now radically different.
The advent of the noosphere is the mental mutation into a new cosmically generated holographic field fractal – one that will replace the current one.
All it would take for this to occur is a momentary break in the planetary electromagnetic field, i.e. polarshift on the earth or the sun’s polar magnetism (2012!?) In that momentary rapture of the terrestrial electromagnetic field, many negative conditioned beliefs (memories) could be erased or severily scrambled. A new operating holographic field fractal might be instantaneously set in place. Planetary upgrade will take place and a new wave of cosmic evolutionary intelligence would reveal itself. Because of their tendencies to endure and transcend, universally positive thought-forms would withstand the electromagnetic rapture to be retained in the fresh perceptual context or anticipation of something wondorous and new abou to unfold. The new collective hologram would seem like a fairy tale come true.
After that, there’s no coming back. Psychic totalisation and expansion of the mind into a field of universal telepathy would make wars and deception no longer be possible.

Ready to be metaprogrammed for personal use. Cavities filled with 'programs' will be sealed.
Concept for magick phone
This concept phone is made from clay, powered by orgone technology (combination of crystals and metals inside) and uses Enochian alphabet to dial a spirit of choice. When connection is established the spirits talk through the mouth of the phone's 'face' directly into your ear.
Video demo comes soon.

Rambling about psychedelic future
From my POV the main reason why our society is so obsessed with material stuff is due to the lack of access to alternative holographic realities. We are imprisoned in one hologram. Only about 2% of the world population can break through despite massive efforts of mind-control from the ruling powers.
Deliberately making people afraid of experiencing parallel realities (ASC) and disencouraging scientists from serious research, the ruling powers keep their populations firmly ‘locked’ in material paradigm (hologram).
As soon as they stop ‘their war on drugs’, there will be a cultural explosion empowered by emergence of radically new technologies that will unlock human latent psychic abilities. The material paradigm won’t be dominant anymore. The society will become more happy and less greedy.

Idea: Psy World Wide Web
The future of Internet?
The webs are created using 'right brain tech', which in my lexicon represents 'immaterial' or 'neurological' technologies where the brain is the only 'hardware' and mind is 'software'. Bio-chemical and shamanic in nature, these P2P networks won't need computers to connect to each other.

Ideas choose people
Here's a thought: It is a fundamental fallacy to think that we people come up with ideas on our own. In fact, ideas find people to manifest themselves. Ideas are processes. They use people as 'petri dishes' or vehicles for their fulfillment. It's ideas who choose people and not the other way around. I guess that means one has to be worthy to be chosen.

Idea: Parallel (game) universe experience
Problem: If you play a lot of video games and have thought that they are starting to look very similar, you are not alone. 'Threequels and sequels' - the latest games reviewed.
Solution: Why not set up a special online game platform where players of one game can temporarily find themselves in a parallel universe , i.e. a rival game?
Imagine you are playing 'Call of Duty' online and suddenly there's a 'glitch' and you are in the middle of 'Battlefield' and then, 10 min later, you find yourself fighting in 'Halo' and then back to where you started - 'Call of Duty'.

Idea: Bodyshop to introduce new product lines
According to traditional esoteric knowledge humans have at least 4 main bodies: Physical (symbolized by North and element of Earth), Spiritual ( South and Fire element), Emotional (West and Water element) and Mental (East and Air element).
Why not develop new product lines designed to work with each individual body?

Idea: Future of European Union
Problem: Collapse of the current political, social and economic structure of European Union.
Solution: To allow citizens of Europe to choose what political and economic society they prefer to live, according to their values and principles. i.e.:
1. CAPITALISTAN: for people who enjoy working hard and make lots of money.
2. SOCIALISTAN: for people who like to live in a 'nanny' state.
3. TRIBALISTAN: for people who reject all of the above, reject consumerism and governmental control, prefer to live in small sustainable communities, independent and self-governing.
The future EU won't have countries but will be divided on 3 main society zones based on alternative political and economic values.
All 3 society zones will have an agreement of no expansion or interference with each other. Each model will have a sovereign control over its natural resources. Trading of land and natural resources between the zones will be restricted. For example, Capitalistan won't be able to use in any way natural resources of Tribalistan. And 'entrepreneurs' from Tribalistan won't be able to sell it.
To ensure that the equilibrium between the societies is not tipped by one or another society-model, a special UN of Europe will be established. Its task will be to keep political forces of each society from interfering into internal matters of each other,i.e. waging wars, slander, etc.
In my opinion, the future of each society zone will be determined by free and unrestricted migration of populace. To join a system would require to sign a legal contract (responsibilities and rights). Contracts can be permanent or temporary.

Some points on how to stimulate creativity
1. Inhibitory state of consciousness vs Excitatory state.
2. Excitatory is caused by new information stream.
3. To allow the stream into our psyche the Inhibitory must be deactivated.
4. It can be achieved by altering personal state of consciousness.
5. There are many different methods.
6. When Inhibitory dominates Excitatory, synopses of brain cortex become less fluidic and the person becomes more like a robot.
7. When Excitatory dominates, pineal gland is stimulated and the person becomes more free spirited.
8. Creativity is spirit that thrives on irrelevant streams of information.
9. Irrelevant is what is outside the 'Channel Normal'.

Transcendental Art : Entoptic forms
Conventional art is based on perception of outside world (material objects), whereas entoptic (or transcendental) art is generated by inner world (nervous system) and represents different types of subjective visual phenomena.
Entoptic art is psychosomatic in nature and comes out of oneself - namely from the psyche of participating observer.
Interestingly enough, the very first art form on the planet was ‘kick started’ by taking psychoactive ingredients in the diet of the first artists.
“Lewis-Williams and Dowson brought forward the original thesis that Paleolithic art is inspired by subjective visual phenomena, seen and depicted by shamans or spiritual men and women during altered states of consciousness.”
T. McKenna’s “Stoned Ape Theory” is also closely related to this entopic phenomena.
Entoptic forms are created (and perceived) by means of altering a state of consciousness of the observer. A good analogy would be a psychedelic drug. Another good example – a stroboscopic flicker device that produces visual stimuli in the mind of the observer. In other words, these art forms are created out of neurological makeup of the observer, inside the head, responding to external stimuli.
Since entoptic art is a self made, self generated type of art, it is relevant to mention: the better is the observer’s imagination; the richer is the art experience.
Entoptic phenomena is related to the ‘Observer’s Paradox’ principle from quantum physics. (It has been proven that conscious act of observation changes behavior of the observed object.) So, I assert that in entoptic trance observation equals creation.
As more people become interested in exploring personal psyche, ‘right brain’ technologies and gather more accurate understanding of how a human mind works – the creation of new diverse psychoactive stimuli will follow.
Just as with all thoughts and feelings of humankind, the original entoptic creations are stored in the planet’s noosphere (collective consciousness layer) and can be easily accessed through an appropriate stimuli. Note: stimuli dont have to be only psychoactive drugs, they can be physical devises like the dream machine lamp (mentioned above), sense deprivation tanks (Dr. Lilly's), holotropic breathwork, and other techniques to achieve alternative state of consciousness.
For example, famous shamanic paintings of Pablo Amaringo for me are just physical 3D ‘copies’ of the non-physical entopic art forms he mentally created/experienced with the help of ayahuasca stimuli.
Eventually, when the mainstream culture finally moves on from the current ‘material’ worldview paradigm to a more spiritual perception of reality (2012?), the notion of ‘art’ will also acquire a spiritually deeper meaning.
The new entoptic art paradigm will be mankind's rediscovery of the original psychedelic roots of art itself.
