Noo-Mo Omniism
Noo-Mo
Omniism (NMO) achieved coherence as a culture in the early 21st
century as a result of re-framing the conclusions of post-modern
nihilism – that all claims and experiences are essentially
arbitrary and therefore meaningless – in positive terms, where the
existence of meaningfulness as an ontological condition is considered
self-evident as a result of the undertaking of, and even the
formulation of the desire to undertake, the initial inquiry into the
possibility of meaning, despite or possibly due to the essential
arbitrariness of all claims and experiences.
New
Modern as opposed to Post-Modern, asserting certainty opposed to
uncertainty. Echoing the cyclical theory of cultural currents in
which liberated and decadent post-modernism is followed by assertive
and categorical modernism and so on. The po-mo flapper-jazz-opium
1920s are followed by the new-mo pre-war fascism followed by the
post-war swing era followed by the domestic-industrial 50s to the
hippies to the punks to the ravers – and fin de ciecle nihilism –
and finally to the Matrix-Lord of the Rings-nu metal-War on
Terror-superhero-good vs evil current – new modernism.
Noo
from the Greek noos, in recognition that thought, the process of
perception, is integral to both the fluidity of meaning and its
articulation.
Omniism
meaning everything is, all of it, every way, all ways and always true
and welcomed and possible.
Po-mo
nihilism – nothing is true – is subverted, and relativism –
everything may be true – is
superseded
by NMO’s dogma: everything is true. The only absolute condition
necessary for something to happen is that it happens. Causality is
secondary to actuality. NMO therefore represents the current
evolution of epistemology from Aristotelean yes/no either/or binary
thinking through quantum yes/no/maybe and/or thinking to absolute
yes/and…
Is/is-not to
may-be to is.

Versions
Plureality
functions as a linguistic and conceptual antidote to the singularity
of the noun ‘reality’ and the implicit complementary category of
un-reality by adding the potential for variability while retaining
the essentialism of a noun, rather than succumbing to the uncertainty
and immeasurability of total process, or verb.
Therefore everything
is true in Noo-Mo Omniism, even different things. Things are not
becoming true, or only appearing to be true, with the inherent
diminishing of ontological status these formulations entail.
Contradiction becomes understood as a failure to perceive (noo)
multiple truths simultaneously rather than a limit to possibility.
Limitations within plureality only exist as conditions to allow
multiple things to be possible – instead of only one singular thing
– rather than absolute demarcations between possible and
impossible.
With
the transcendence of real/unreal and true/untrue hierarchies,
plureality becomes apprehended via the perceptual process of
versioning, of discriminating versions of plureality based on
arbitrary, contextual criteria. Versions are not understood as
distinct realities, therefore plureality allows for totality and
unity within variability, and feedback between versions rather than
the separation implied by discrete multiple realities.
Versioning is
not merely a subjective process since it entails every conceivable
possibility, from intra-subjectivity to environmental determinism to
divine intervention, and so on, including the possibility of the
absence of any and every one of these factors. While perception is
key to the process of NMO, it is not the causal agent; plureality is
apprehended and participated in, not generated or created as in
relativistic and quantum models.
The
Omniism of plureality does not result in ontological white noise
because the existence of every possible version is what allows for
the apprehension of any one distinct version, as per information
theory. In an abstracted and theoretical version of NMO, plureality
values situationalism, contextualism, and operationalism, whereas
each other version contains its own values, from monotheism to
logical positivism to greed to racism to understanding.
Version DK2K
values the possibilities inherent in NMO and as such supports
behaviours and attitudes that both validate differing versions as
well as encouraging apprehension of, or movement between, versions.

Omega Magic
Plureality
can be described as a non-hierarchical, non-progressive evolutionary
process in which versions of possibilities compete for actualisation
via the apprehension and participation of its inhabitants and
environments, whether they are material, biological, psychic,
ideological or imaginal. Active, intentional participation in this
process, encouraging the selection of desired versions over
non-desired versions, is the practice of Omega Magic.
Omega
designates the totality of techniques and methods available, the
effectiveness of which is moderated only by the immediate versioning
of plureality rather than any ontological limitations. Omniism allows
for any version of magic to happen, even the versions that do not
work. As Omega designates the maximum spectrum possible of magical
behaviours, it follows that any action can be magical depending on
its interaction with a particular version of plureality and the
feedback between components acting and being acted upon. Magic may
commonly be understood as supporting and reinforcing or altering and
subverting a current version.
Version
DK2K currently employs strategic selection and placement of Tarot cards
as a symbolic interface with the perceptual and behavioural
parameters of the current version. Changing the cards results in
changes within those parameters while sustaining the overall
characteristic of the version that dictates symbolic effects on
consciousness and environments is a possibility. Similar techniques
currently employed within Version DK2K include the purposeful design of
journal content, including style of language and fonts. And since the
environment, both material and cultural and metaphysical, all serve
as participants in the versioning of plureality, Version DK2K currently
recognizes external events as potential synchronicities and omens.
