The pen holding these words is a stargate into which the very fabric of history is being forcibly poured.
A hyperstition is an idea that, in the process of being shared, used, and/or believed, makes itself more true. It's a form of self-fulfilling prophecy. Hyperstitions have existed for at least as long as culture and language have existed, but their potency and turnaround rate increase dramatically during the Dreamtime.
quotes about hyperstition
come on you primate, describe those visions
you had in the wild
that led you to crawl
from the chaotic animal
dimension of things
into the springtime of mind
fire in your head

reinventing language
daydreaming your tribes
into the future of humanity
all of it
light visionary
set the jungle
on fire
with insight
man was born
in your head
reinventing the cosmos
as a spirit thing
holding the beast in a box
release the raw materials
of the mind
back into infinity
start your journey here
godhead asleep
in your head
wake up
run through the hills
into the worlds
that you see
unencumbered
in the springtime of your mind
dream your exquisite fictions
into reality
come on you precious ape
release the high gods
in your head
we are counting on you
now
