Did you mean science? Or is this a play on words?

Have you ever seen the machine elves?
To answer your question a little more seriously, it seems that in many of the accounts of the paranormal and OBE's there is often a sound of sorts that accompanies the experience. I get the crinkling cellophane sound when something not normal is happening. It's almost like an alarm bell now for me. I think Jeff mentions the buzzing sound accompanies many accounts of the mothman sightings. That's where I first read of that and thought of Quatermass and the Pit. Have you ever seen it?

That Quartermass clip looks wild. Never seen it but I am gonna have to see that movie now, well not right now ...
The cosmic thing was not referring to sex between aliens and humans, but to something I think Crowley was getting at. Using Nuit/Hadit as archetypal forces that you invoke during sex, Nuit is the entire universe, Hadit one point in it etc etc.
And yes that seance/science thing was a play on words, sometimes in altered states it seems there are other colours than the ones we see in normal states.
I have seen the Machine elves or whatever they are too. Its hard to describe that stuff, a local term around here is "cartoon land". That seems a bit more appropriate IMO.
That buzzing sound is a dead give away isn't it. I wouldn't say its tinititus, cos it definitely has its own nature and rhythms. If anything it reminds me of insects buzzing. Once I was in the bush, and wandered through what must have been a cicada corroberree.
The buzzing was intense and I actually had to sit down on the ground till it stopped. It completely disabled me, and I am actually not that easy to stop. This was intense tho. I could see the cicadas as I wandered into this area, then all of a sudden this overwhelming buzzing floored me. My vision started breaking up, and it was reminiscent of of tryptamine tripping actually.
It eased a bit, and it was a real effort to get up and drag myself and my stuff out of there. But once I'd got about 5 feet away I was suddenly alright, just a little tired, and quite freaked out. I was with someone else and the same thing happened to them. We never really talked about it afterward tho, cept to say "Fuck that buzzing was intense."
Funny how similar some of that Qmass imagery is to weirdness tho.

They fall into the category of things I can now only buy if I find them at the price point they used to occupy before everyone else started thinking they were all chic and ironic. It's an ad hoc collectors vanity thing. And a proximate occasion for hating the world, too!
