Transnomia in Everyday Life and Thinking
Transnomia state of mind can be practiced during everyday life activities, such as speaking, washing the dishes, talking to a friend, waiting, and standing. In this article we present some of the techniques that can be used to induce Transnomia in a casual household or an office setting.
Each action is directed towards a certain purpose. When this vector of intention is accentuated through language the content is neutralized through the tautology that follows. Therefore we transform everyday actions into “floating signifiers”, phrases that appear to have a meaning but don’t make sense. Continuous repetition of linguistic constructs during the activity described, allows one to reach a critical state of consciousness faster and quicker. The phrases should be repeated without an interruption during the whole course of events and if possible the actions should be visualized at the same time as they are performed in everyday life. The resulting condition will allow one to transcend the limitations of the everyday and reach the critical state where on neutralizes the intention and revels in the pure form of action and language. It is in that moment that the action has the capacity to turn into something else and thus carry one into the chaotic state-space of multiple possibilities.
Using your mouth to speak
Using your ears to hear
Using your eyes to see
Using your ass to sit
Using your hands to wash
Using your legs to stand
Using your heart to beat
Using your mouth to eat
Using your teeth to bite
Using your body to feel
Using your washing machine to wash
Using your refrigerator to refrigerate
The statements below are a little bit more complex as they imply cause-effect connection. Continuous repetition of these phrases allows one to disrupt the rational flow of logic and instead introduce the multiple pathways that enable one escape the necessity and shift into the realm of Transnomia, wandering between meanings and linguistic constellations. This practice helps one, on one side, have a different point of view on the everyday action, and, on the other side, allows one to see the extraordinary in the mundane.
Eating food when you are hungry
Drinking water when you are thirsty
Fucking someone when you are horny
Running somewhere when you are late
Taking something when you need it
Buying food in a supermarket
Sending an e-mail with a computer
Calling someone with a phone
Writing something with a pen
Buying a ticket before getting on a train
Stopping in front of the red light before crossing the road
Getting a passport before traveling somewhere
Being quiet when someone else is talking
Using the linguistic paths above one can reach the state of Transnomia performing everyday chores as well as in cause-effect relational thinking. However, the most difficult and rewarding path to master is the path of conceptual thinking. There a subject does not have any tangible objects or cause-effects constructs to confirm the reality. Instead, the objects in questions are abstract, therefore it is only through simultaneous practice of Transnomic visualization and meta-stable verbalization that one can reach the state of Transnomia in one’s conceptual thinking.
