It is to the characteristics of change itself that the mentat–generalist must look. There can be no permanent catalogue of such change, no handbook or manual. You must look at it with as few preconceptions as possible, asking yourself: ‘Now what is this thing doing?’ The Mentat Handbook
Frank Herbert, Children of Dune

Yes, continuous present, secret of eternal life, now here, because now never ends.
Yes-sound echoing through limitless space of imagination now-time, this-moment, here-being.
Learning stillness, kneading that transformative silence that guards those penetrating smiling places where we create.
Listening as layer upon layer of noise reveals itself and falls away, until ever-present silent song may be heard.

…it was as if reality pressed in on me all sides, like water i immersion, and could never see shape or extent of body of water
but flying on existential wings, reality flattened inonto a landreamscape, a topography i could survey, and it [reality] was made of thought|s

This freedom of movement at right wrong sharp and oblique angles to [the way things are] is denoted by a phrase “rotating in orthogonal reality” (thanks to ann weinstone who thanks…)

orthogonal reality|being larger volume in which i am navigating i as i survey i plane of own thoughts i with distance and (i) detachment

Making space for transformative silence, magnetic power of presence, theatrical effect of magnifying attention of an instance of manymind oninto neutral stagespacesurFace, within specific frame that communicates message “this is play. play for real”
…this condensed space, decanted onto a surface that also holds game-manoeuvres of politics, engineering, social organisation, economics, commerce and technological function, takes on capabilities of a [morphogenetic event]: a new instance of life seeking conditions to take hold on a fabric of instrumentality.
