To the thinker who is not the gardener, only the soil of the plants that grow in him
Published
In this presentation, Kjersti Sundland will be sharing marginal and occluded concepts on how human made electromagnetic radiation and the earth’s electromagnetic radiation seem to interweave and coagulate, and to resurface as fissures, or specters in our perception.
Drawing among others on the work by the philosopher and founder of the Society of Psychical Research Frederick Myers, one of the forgotten but central thinkers in development of the theory of the subliminal self. Myers used the metaphor of electromagnetic spectrum to shed light on the hidden capacities of the mind, and to describe how we acknowledge only fraction of the energies that pass through us.
