Temporary Indeterminate Zone (Note: Somewhat dated writing on 9-11, written days after the event) Copyright Jonathan Zap 9-22-01 On the morning of 9-11, having received no news of the disaster yet, I awoke from a disturbing dream. I was on a ship that was on fire and former students of mine whom I had taught in New York during the Eighties were coming to me asking for help because the captain of the ...

Operation Infinite Projection copyright 2001 by Jonathan Zap (Note: Somewhat dated writing on 9-11, written days after the event) If you can't stand to hear or read one more word on the terrorism of 9-11 you might as well keep reading because you've just read twenty-seven more words, now twenty-nine on this subject so might as well as surrender to the fact that we'll never hear the end of it as Operation Infinite Empty Rhetoric gathers full steam. And what I have to say is going to be a disorganized rant on the infinite levels of projection going on. I seem to notice that one week was like a magic line drawn in the sand. Most of what I heard people saying during the first week had some connection to genuine feeling. After the first week I noticed ...
Must See Premonition Of Twin Towers Destruction!!! 16 Sep 2001 22:33:16 Please open enclosed attachment and see an ad I synchronistically found in a National Geographic from September of 1989. I WILL GET THIS SCANNED IN SOON For those unable to open the attachment I will describe the ad to you. There is a picture of the Twin Towers and below it this caption: "Low-rises. 2060 A. D." Then there is a picture of a Samsung CD player and the caption: "Hi-Tech. 2060 A.D." Below that is this ad copy: "Will today's hi-rises be the low-rises of tomorrow? That remains to be seen. But Samsung audio products will surely be high on everyone's list." (Recently I was visiting with a friend and he had on his wall an ad for the Windows on the World restaurant on top of the Twin Towers. The headline of the ad read, "As close to ...

Thoughts on Jung
Thoughts on Jung © 2008, Jonathan Zap An Encounter with Jung As a child my psyche was magnetized by emergent archetypal visions from the collective psyche that would appear in my own imagination, and also in many artifacts of popular culture such as science-fiction novels and films. By the time I was nineteen, and a senior in college, I set out to understand these numinous visions and was quickly led to a very personal encounter with Jung. A few years ago I described that encounter as follows: My first encounter with Jung was intense and had the uncanny stamp of what Jung called ‘synchronicity’ all over it. I was nineteen years old and attempting to investigate certain anomalies. I had had experiences of a parapsychological nature, and found myself fascinated by ...
Jihad Against the Feminine By Sean Moffitt of womensassistance.com Subjugation and abuse of women is one of the most critical social issues in all of human history. Violent oppression of women has been, and remains, a serious obstacle to the full intellectual growth and evolution of the human species. In recent years the subservient position of women suffering under Islamic regimes has become somewhat common knowledge in the western world where most people seem familiar with the oppression of women, particularly in Afghanistan . Yet for so many women and girls living in Islamic and Hindu communities, reality is far worse than what most westerners imagine. ...
Archetypes of a New Evolution © Jonathan Zap, 1978 Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in Philosophy Ursinus College Advisor: Dr. Williamson Spring 1978 (This paper, written when I was just twenty years old, contains many of the key insights I have been working on ever since. Here is where I first discovered what I have since called the “singularity archetype,” and first analyzed what it means as an evolutionary template for the human species. Introduced in this paper, is the concept of “ Homo gestalt,” ...
Have you ever felt that the world might be your dream, felt alienated, set apart from others, overwhelmed at times by your inner thought process? If you have, then you may find Dostoevsky and the Profound Egocentric , written when I was just nineteen years old, to be very relevant to your inner experience. My adult consciousness began with the writing of this paper, but it wasn’t until the following year, when I was twenty, that I connected the psychological state of profound egocentrism with an evolutionary model, and recognized its connection to the dawning of a new mode of consciousness and communication (see Archetypes of a New Evolution) . In The Path of the Numinous http://www.zaporacle.com/textpattern/article/10/the-path-of-the-numinous-living-and-working-with-the-creative-muse- I describe the origins of ...

Left off Balance
Left Off Balance copyright 2001, Jonathan Zap ( An email rant I wrote just after 9-11, but seems just as relevant today.) (unfortunately the document has some lame formating I can't get rid of, perhaps the Bush administration is responsible?) Before I get into why I believe that most of my friends on the left are off balanced and one-sided in their world view, the issue happening right now that I join them in being acutely concerned about is the bill before the Congress right now entitled the "Patriot Act" that would allow greater government ability to invade our privacy and over ride our rights. I despise the name of this bill as propagandistic ...
Reality Testing is Politically Incorrect! © 2006, 2010 by Jonathan Zap I think I just realized why I get into trouble with so many people----somehow I never realized what now seems obvious----reality testing is politically incorrect! Whether you are a religious fundamentalist or a New Age fundamentalist, on the right or on the left, if it feels emotionally satisfying, then it’s true. What really drives me crazy about this is that people on the left and New Agers, who would be the first to criticize Christian fundamentalists for rigid, irrational beliefs, often have no self-criticism about their own irrational beliefs. For example, twice this week people have forwarded me the following emailed announcement. Here it is in its entirety: A cosmic trigger event is occurring on the 17th of October 2006. This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now and 2013. An ultraviolet (UV) pulse ...
-----This inquiry consists, so far, as a very strange exchange with Harald Kleeman--- Australian hermetic philosopher, Christian mystic and artist. His site is called Sanctuary (click on Hermiticism to see our collected dialogues). This dialogue picks up from a previous strange dialogue : Piercing the Veil and Dissing the Source Code of the Matrix of Patriarchal Fundamentalism . Hi Jonathan. I’ll go along with your proposals. Your question about the AA has opened up a well of reminiscence – both sweet and incredibly poignant. As there is a fair degree of self disclosure in your writings, I will even the balance a little. In this, my world of discourse, AA stands for generic universal inner-plane Order – by definition a singular phenomenon. As its chief characteristic I cite ...

Feeling and opening your genuine heart of sadness is the key to letting go of your preconceptions and your interpretations of the world. By letting go, you leave your familiar and snug world behind, at least for a moment, and relax into the sacred and strange space of the real world. To do this, you need to have basic trust. Basic trust is not trusting in something but simply trusting. It is very much like breathing. You do not consciously hold on to your breath or trust in your breath, yet breathing is your very nature. When you breathe out, you trust that the next breath will come in—you don’t think about it, or wonder about it, you trust. When you take a step, you trust that the earth will support you. When you eat, you trust that your stomach will digest the food. This is basic trust.
