“Over the past few years we have been developing and experimenting with a nonordinary relational ‘technology’. We affectionately refer to it as mindflight. There is little or no dogma involved. It isn’t a religion and won’t become one. It is, approximately, a set of play-like methods for rapidly sharing and amplifying nonordinary aspects and functions of intelligence via the establishment of a mutually catalyzed and sustained ‘third position’ in which two or more minds participate by proxy. The results have consistently staggered both our expectations and our understanding. This isn’t just a way to amplify or rapidly develop intelligence. We may have accidentally stumbled on the undiscovered roots of both human cognition and human intellectual superfunction. Those roots lie in empathy and mutuality, not computation.”
