Cub Cities in our Globalized world will have many different architectural structures. Perhaps a new futuristic cub city could be designed in this sequence. This could be the architectural lay-out of the first first cub city.

Amor Fati
Key ideas which help to hold the practical application of Visual Connection Mapping together through the duration of the development
- Amor fati love of fate Nietzsche
- Amor dei intellectualis
- Spinoza and Freud: Self Knowledge as Emancipation. Philosophers of the dark enlightenment dsytopia. The true Oedipal drive
- The Freudian Oedipuis theory is a modern way of fulfilling the wish of the mythological king who did not rest until he discovered the hidden truth about himself and his real situation in the world, even at the price of tragedy and the loss of his two eyes.

Jorge Luis Borge’s poem on Spinoza
Title: Spinoza
The Jew’s translucent hands
Shape the crystals in the twilight.
And the dying evening is
all fear and chill.
(In the evenings, evenings
are the same).
His hands and the hyacinth’s space
Paling at the purview of the ghetto
Are almost inexistent for the quiet man
Dreaming a dear labyrinth.
Fame does not perturb him, that
reflection
Of dreams in another kind of
dream,
Nor the girl’s fearful love.
Free of metaphor, free of myth
He shapes a rigid crystal: the
infinite
Map of the One that is All
Its stars.
Written by Jorge Luis Borge
Eyes to the soul
Above is a image of Visual Connection Mapping (VCM 34)
While working with the City of Victoria’s most vulnerable population on Pandora ST at Our Pl;ace Society, British Columbia Canada – I often experienced a profound sense of religious feelings. Often Bible verses would help me to understand and gain insight into what I was feeling and they often helped me put undescribeable situations, feelings and observations into some sort of context, which often lead to a kind of transcendence experience, which was impossible to slot into language. It went so far beyond the English Language.

Quotes and Bible verses for inspiration to help with conducting Visual Connection Mapping
- “Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” Nathaniel Hawthorne
- “To live is to be militant.” Seneca, Letters
- “Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43: 18 – 19

Interlinking concepts
- Vatican = fortress. Seeing the enemy coming but enemy could not see you
- Statute of Limitations starts when you realize the full impact it had on your life
Formula
D = I / R
{Disease = Injury / (individuals) Resistance to stress}
Dereistic thinking
When I was conducting Visual Connection Mapping I noticed at times some clients had dereistic thinking.
Dereistic thinking = thought processes marked by their disregard for reality and conventional logical rules of discourse.
Feeling at a distance
When working with individuals at Our Place Society on Pandora in Victoria City, Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada there were times when individual clients would talk to me about their telepathy. So I look-up it up.
Book # 1
“ESP and Psychokinesis. A Philosophical Examination.” Braude. P. 7 – 15
“Telepathic command”
Idea # 1
FWH Myers
- Telepathy = feeling at a distance

1.2 Telepathic interaction
Jacob’s Ladder: hierophany
Jacob’s Ladder was often brought to mind while helping others through Visual Connection Mapping, often it came into my mind unintentional.
What is Jacob’s Ladder?
It is a story of personal struggle, hence the name change from Jacob, to Israel (meaning ‘my struggle with God’), this is the essence of the Jewish people who came to be known as the people of Israel.
Jacob has an hierophany (a sacred revelation, like an epiphany, but with religious significance).
