Great Building

Aniks' Observation

Sergey, I've noticed [and seen you make this assumption] that the GB (Great Building) appears in different parts of the map, as if it travels... Several recent dreams have led me to believe that it's a universal device for movement. Different floors represent different layers of the map. To the west are windows showing height [layer level] and often apocalyptic scenes. To the east are exits to the outside.

Inside the Building vs. At the Exit

• 1. Lower floors [of those I've been on]
  • Inside: Subway, transitioning with depth into a vertical labyrinth of stairs (what psilocybin users see, often confronted me in childhood).
  • At the Exit: I don't know, saw no exit – only up or down.
• 2. Higher
  • Inside: Staircases, like an apartment building entrance.
  • At the Exit: Industrial level with skyscrapers.
• 3. Even higher
  • Inside: House (familiar multi-story building, sometimes a school or administrative building).
  • At the Exit: City (mostly the same as in waking life).
• 4. Even higher
  • Inside: "Supermarket".
  • At the Exit: Nature, mountains, a camp in the forest with large trees.
• 5. Even higher
  • Inside: "Hotel".
  • At the Exit: [I don't know what's outside].
• 5....
  • Then, I think, there's a blank spot for several floors.
• ?. At the very top
  • Inside: Cramped but opulent rooms, like a palace.
  • At the Exit: [I don't know what's outside].

From the western windows, it's visible that the height is immense; the top of the building [GB] is usually palatial – stone or wooden. The view is of the sea and sunset, or of a city, often a view of an exploding, burning, or sinking city. In my opinion, the GB is a tool for moving through the layers of the map. At least, that's how it seems to me. That's my humble opinion. What do you think?

Sergey Izrigi's Response

Aniks, the thing about the GB is this: On many maps, there are two or even three of them. They truly embody concepts of transportation in some way, meaning they aid in the shift of the Assemblage Point. However, each of them also has another aspect – coercion or oppression. We are currently revisiting the idea of cartography and trying to merge it with the idea of the "Tonal's DNA". That is, one could say that all elements of the dreaming map represent regulators (histones) of the Tonal's DNA. This means that by knowing their correspondence, we will not only be able to judge the short-term periods of our future but also change them with our intent. For now, the prevailing opinion is that all GBs are "under guard" – different people interpret this differently: fliers, Inorganic Beings, guardians, etc. If you've taken on the study of the GB, here's an interesting detail: Over two thousand years, one of the GBs "shifted" from the center of the map to the SE part – and it did so in leaps across transformation zones. Ponder this phenomenon. What's at play here?
