MORTON'S LIST BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Why, you may ask, has there never been a birthday party for Morton's List before? It turns 6 this year, but what about 1 through 5? The answer is simple. Unlike mundane birthdays, which are celebrated every year, Morton's List, being a Karmic creation, born on Friday, July 13th, 2001, celebrates birthdays only when the 13th of July falls on a Friday. This is the first time that's happened since 2001. It will happen again (year/age): 2010/11, 2016/17, 2027/28, 2033/34, 2038/39, 2044/45, 2055/56, 2061/62, 2066/67, 2072/73, 2083/84, 2089/90 and 2094/95 - only 13 more times this century.
So pull out the stops and party like it's seven birthdays at once!





 

SuperiCore

This is FAR more important than a sidebar mention, and will shortly be covered in a full article. Until then, however, Center is excited to announce the formation of the new company that will oversee the development of all Random Reality, including all operations of Center and the Dark Carnival Games brand. Composed of key Twilight Lords and backed by Japanese interests, SuperiCore is poised to take Random Reality to new heights. Stay tuned for more important information about this exciting restructuring of Random Reality!

Karma Boost!

Destiny with Japan

2007 by Twilight Lord Nathaninja


It is true that adventure surrounds us at all times and in all places. Infinite possibility permeates all layers of reality, down to the most mundane. But sometimes you do have to physically leave everyday life and travel to a far away exotic land in order to receive certain lessons available nowhere else.

The Karmic Order of Twilight Lords, before such was even known to exist, has traveled the globe in search of illusive teachings, esoteric revelations and ever greater insight into the nature of Morton. The first encounter with destiny through chance occurrence happened in Saudi Arabia to Twilight Lord Jumpsteady during the first Gulf War. It was on these basic yet crucial insights that the search for Morton through Morton's List was born.

After many years discovering and developing Morton's List, it became increasingly apparent that several crucial connections were necessary to complete and publish the Great Work. All signs pointed far past the Zoroastrian dualistic traditions of the Middle East/West Asia to ancient Chinese nondual philosophies. In 2000 Twilight Lord Nathaninja made the journey to three sites in China, bringing back more than had been hoped for.

Since publication in 2001, over nine expeditions to over 21 countries, have been made by one or more Twilight Lords. These have uncovered many many more insights, and contributed to an unprecedented understanding of Morton and the List through which Morton is actualized and brought into full and magnificent being. But this is a new era. One cannot rest in the pursuit of Morton. Ever wider and larger circles must always be drawn around all that is known. All limits must be shattered. The time has come for the newest and greatest insight. The time for Japan is now.

Twilight Lords are not so different from any devotee of Morton, really. We all seek greater understanding of self, Morton, God, life. We do not have all the answers. We experience the same elation when we expand beyond ourselves and take one step closer to Morton. It is with this sense of anticipation that we approach what very well may be the most important expedition since China.

We have long known the Chinese origins of Morton's List, through Taoism and the I Ching (Book of Changes), but have been unable to trace its development past ancient times. This "missing link" has hampered our ability to more fully understand the List, the vehicle of Morton, how it was lost to history and how we were charged with bearing this beacon of hope out of the mists of time. Long had we suspected a Japanese connection, but been unable to dig up anything conclusive, certainly no leads strong enough to warrant an expedition.

Until now.

Recent breakthrough developments, that must remain veiled in shadow to honor and protect their sources, have come to light and point to an actual living tradition in Japan: the "missing link." Although nearly all highly publicized evolutionary missing links have been found (archaeopteryx, many species between human and ape, and even the ancient land walking whale), imagine if you will the thrill of hearing about a small and secretive community of Neanderthals living in the remote Himalayas or some other such astounding news. The surprise and excitement felt by the Karmic Order of Twilight Lords is no less.

It is with the highest sense of anticipation, excitement and awe that we plan the latest and perhaps greatest expedition to Find Morton. For the first time since delving into the Incan mysteries of Peru and Bolivia in 2002 will two Twilight Lords co-head an expedition. The potential insights are too powerful and yes, the possible danger too great for anything less.

Although much of the activities of The Order must remain esoteric, occult, secret, it is our wish that by sharing as much as we can with the Inner Circle we will inspire and lead by example. All insights gained on expeditions are always shared with the Inner Circle, through our writings and messages, however encoded or below the casual surface.

For now, let it be enough for us to share this "Karma Boost" with you. With this exciting development, the new age, the renaissance of Morton's List and indeed all of Random Reality is truly unfolding before our very eyes. Although only two bodies are going, we take with us the hopes, dreams, goals and potential of all Inner Circle members that we may all Find Morton.

Freemasonry and Morton's List: Shared Ancient Secrets?

2007 by Twilight Lord R. Jesse

While many dispute the ultimate goals and hidden agenda of the Twilight Lords, some have come to understand the many layers of symbology in rituals best held on or near Friday the Thirteenth, and the playing of Morton's List. Beyond this is the symbology of the Title system found within 360� of the Inner Circle.

Some have likened the Inner Circle to a Secret Society, bound by a mission of random chaos and unpredictable outcome. At first this may sound absurd, but this is the message at the core of Morton's List. It is a timeless message, one predating all existing societies.

The following is a point by point debasing of the groundless accusation that Freemasonry borrows aspects of its humble organization from Morton's List.




The Inner Circle (IC) plays Morton's List, which is a game of chance, arranged by Tables, and playable as Quests.

Freemasonry (FM) is a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.

-


IC: There are 360° of the Inner Circle, as described in a book of similar title, and as conferred by several controlling bodies.

FM: The Scottish Rite has 33°, as conferred by several controlling bodies.

-


IC: In Morton's List you are not eligible to reach the level of "Vision Quest Master" until you reach 150°.

FM: One goes from "1° Entered Apprentice" to "3° Master" in only two steps. At 4° one is even eligible to become a "Master Traveler."
-


IC: "The Twilight Circle" Is the name of an Inner Circle in Tennessee.

FM: "22° "Knights of the Royal Axe" could easily be the name of an Inner Circle on MySpace.

-


IC: Morton's List opens the possibility of being a Master of Achievement, by presenting new and unexpected situations, causing you to think and act in new and unexpected ways.

FM: At 25° one may attain the title "Master of Achievement" which is truly an awesome title.

-


IC: The Karmic Order of Twilight Lords convene annually to discuss matters of the Inner Circle, and high-level esoteric secrets.

FM: High-level freemasons converse about Masonic matters with the "32° Master of the Royal Secret," as well as esoteric secrets.
-


We would like to let you see that clearly the two have nothing in common, and are completely different in every way. We do not see how anyone would suggest that Freemasonry is at best a simpler, easier version of the Inner Circle, with easier levels and more police. Let the Titles and Degrees of the Inner Circle decide which is the awesomer pursuit.


The Forces at Work
2007 by juggalopowers
Any and all personal opinions expressed in this editorial are solely those of the author(s) and do not reflect the opinion of The SuperiCore Group, Center, The Karmic Order of Twilight Lords or Dark Carnival Games.

Every piece of matter in the universe vibrates. From subatomic particles to gigantic celestial bodies, vibrations emanate from all things on many different levels. The entire light spectrum, all sound waves, radio waves, microwaves - all varying levels of vibration. That is how information is carried through space. The energy of a vibration determines its form and how it affects the space around it.

When you are around small children, birds or cats, or really flipped-out psychotics, they will know you immediately by the vibrations that emanate from you. That is one force at work. And then there is karma, of course. The kind of karma I am talking about is those things that are in your path or must be in your path, or must not be in your path. That is another force at work. That force is just one part of another force that Carl Jung called synchronicity.

What determines those synchronous circumstances that affect reality? Well I couldn't completely answer that question in 200 words, but I believe it is a combination of your thoughts (vibrations), karma, the will of your creator, and chance. All of these are some of the forces at work in everyday reality. They are all governed by time and what you decide you want to do or have the ability to do.

So thus our reality, and experiences therein, are determined. But what if you could suspend your will, bend time, and ignore what you perceive to be your "abilities?" Well then your reality would only be determined by those forces which you cannot see, and which we only pretend to understand.

Well, with this thing called Morton's List, you can. It first provides a summary, albeit brief, of all reality contained in one single unit which you can hold in your hand. Then it introduces "randomness" or "chance" through the use of many rolls of several many-sided dice. I submit to you that the rolls of the dice are not random at all, not governed by chance, but governed by the Universal Laws of experience which I have attempted to summarize here. And so the Twilight Lords have put all of reality into a book and given us tools (dice) to submit our will to the universe to decide our reality, and thus speed up time in our pursuit of "nondual reality." And so it is.

To submit your own Karma Boost, simply email Center. Let us know if you have a specific section of The Radius in mind, such as Stories, Karma Boost, Pic of the Month, etc.


M: Message, Meaning, Morton
2007 by Twilight Lord Nathaninja

It is commonly said that there are two sides to every coin. This is indeed true. When asked to name these sides, most understandably reply "heads and tails" or "front and back." As seekers of Morton, we must look beyond the obvious, the simple, the surface. An answer that more truthfully reflects a deeper understanding of reality is "inside and outside."

We often ignore what we cannot see. This is sometimes necessary in order to avoid becoming lost in endless details, but can be quite restrictive when it becomes an ingrained habit. Try this simple exercise the next time you're driving at night past shops or homes that are closed or lightless. As the buildings whiz past, pick one far up ahead. Imagine what it would look like if the walls were clear. What is inside of it? What miniature world does it contain behind locked doors, now inaccessible but ready to come alive with the sun? As you drive past it look at the building again, seeing it as it truly is, not just a surface, not just what you can see right now. See and experience it with this deepened perspective. You are looking within.

As with all things, Morton's List has an inside and outside, surface and interior. Message and meaning. The exoteric game and esoteric spiritual path. The exterior is the game book, cover, pages, pictures and words. The interior is experienced when you interact with it. When the game changes your life and expands your limits.

There are several steps between the outer and the inner experience of Morton's List. The first are the words of the game itself. You cannot interact with it without reading it. That there is all that is required to begin experiencing the interior. The next step is understanding the mythology/symbols/numerology of the game. This deeper structure is key to understanding Morton. To that end we come to the crux of this essay, the letter M.

Why M and not one of the 25 other hard-working English letters? On the surface it has no meaning, other than the shape of the letter itself. Go a litter deeper and it reads as "em." At the level of symbol, however, there are many associations, some of which will be covered here.

First, and highly important to Morton's List, M is the thirteenth letter in the English alphabet, having been made 13th in the Latin/Roman alphabet during the Renaissance. As the 13th letter, M is half way through the alphabet. If imagined as an arch, M is at its peak, between alpha and omega, maximum and minimum. The M-13 connection is crucial. It is no coincidence that Morton begins with M. To Find Morton, all must pass the Trial of 13.

M is also the only letter pronounced with the mouth closed and as also the simplest sound. The "em" sound is the first a baby makes, before the most common first word, mama. Another important first sound is Aum (commonly written Om), the primordial sound present at the creation of the universe, God's voice. All three sounds in this all-important word, a - u - m, hold special meaning: A is creation of matter from spirit, U is preservation and balance, and the M is disintegration of matter into spirit.

Thus is the path illuminated. M is the passage through which it is possible to leave the circle and reach the center, and there to realize that the Many are One and the One is Many. M transforms Me into Morton.

When you see M in day to day life, when you wear the flaming M emblazoned on clothes or skin, when you hear M unexpectedly, let it be a reminder of the deeper meaning behind the message. Allow yourself to stop and ponder M if for just a moment. Then look at the world with new eyes; eyes that see the M within.


The Bookbinder
Your One-Stop Guide to All Things Custom in Morton's List
2007 by The Astonishing OddBall, 360� Rainbow Dragon/Yin of the Earth Adept

Part Five - All Ink’d Up

Today, you will need: paper, clear tape, various-width Sharpie (or other similar brand) pens, white out, a ruler, a window or glass table and a lamp.

Welcome back to another helpful installment of The BookBinder. Last month we took our rough drafts and laid them out into nicer, cleaner, full-sized penciled pages. This month, we’re going to take those pages, and apply inks to them.

Inking is a very important step in laying out a hand-drawn Quest Journal, or any other project that is hand-drawn and needs to be photocopied. Inks single out the blacks and leave the whites without a whole lot of grays in between which can cause sloppy-looking photocopies. In comic books, inks provide the sense of shadow, and play with black-and-white images, allowing the colorist to come in and work his magic, while providing a sense of drama all their own. Many would say inking is merely tracing, but in some basic exercises, I’ll show you that it’s something completely else.

To begin, we’re going to need our pencil pages from last month, some clear tape, and a whole new, clean sheet of paper. As was mentioned last month, we will not apply the inks directly to the pencils. This would cause uneven bleeding of the ink, and create spotty photocopies.

Instead, we’re going to find ourselves a nice, brightly-lit window, or glass table top. We want to make sure that the window is well lit, or that the table can fit at least a small lamp underneath it. Essentially, we will be turning these ordinary surfaces into a tracing table, or light table. Make sure not to use too strong a light bulb if you’re going the table-top route – it could become hot, and who knows what can happen.

Now, we’re going to take our original pencil pages, and tape them to the surface, just enough to make sure the paper’s not going anywhere. Don’t use excessive amounts of tape; you could ruin your originals.

I personally use the two-in-one taping method, which is basically just misaligning the two sheets of paper just a hair on the top edge, so that a sliver of the bottom page sticks out. We’re only talking about 1/32 – 1/16 of an inch here, so don’t worry about it throwing off your margins. Then, I apply two small pieces of tape just in the very corners, which will hit both pieces of paper, securing them into place.



Some people might be so inclined as to take a spare sheet protector from a 3-ring binder, and place it between the two pieces of paper. Ink will bleed, and if you’d like to archive your penciled pages, this is a cheap, easy way to prevent bleeding through the paper.

From there, we either turn our lamp on, or wait for the clouds to part, until the penciled page clearly comes through the new sheet of paper.

Using my Ultra-Fine Point Sharpie marker, I begin tracing the outlines of the words, boxes and the writing lines, using a ruler for the long, straight ones. Attention to detail is critical, as we don’t want to mess anything up. Don’t rush, for as we all know – haste makes waste. And waste is messy and irritating. If you do screw up, simply resort to some white-out.

Once we have our outlines completely finished, we can remove the tape, return to a nice comfy work area, and move up to a thicker pen – I’m using my Sharpie Fine Point now, and I may even use a Kingsford or a Marks-a-Lot, depending on how much deep black I need to put into this. I’m going to fill in the big, black parts of my work, keeping mindful of the thin lines we just finished. I don’t want my fine point or my Marks-a-Lot to actually touch the fine line, as the bigger pens tend to bleed more. If we go right up to the edges of the finer lines, we may bleed beyond that, and the image can come out looking blurry.

Instead, we’ll simply leave about 1/16 of an inch between the thick inks and the thin, and when we’re ready, we’ll fill them in using either our Ultra Fines, or an Extra Fine. This will blend the two black forms together more seamlessly, and provide a better image.

Another thing to keep in mind, depending on your Quest Journal layouts is what I call ‘the play’ between black and white. A lot of optical illusions can be done at this point. For example, you can create thinly-spaced lines in a white area to create a 50/50 effect – essentially, it’s a form of shading. Photocopiers tend not to do so well with various shades of gray unless you really screw around and experiment at the photocopier. Seeing as that’s not exactly budget friendly, here’s some other ideas.

Pointillism – By using a fine point marker or pen, draw numerous dots together in varying frequencies to create different shades of gray. When you look closely, you’ll see the dots, but when you back up, they become less obvious, and look more like tones of gray. At many art stores, you can buy dot matrix screens, which are essentially transparencies with many dots printed on them. Use an X-Acto knife to cut out the areas you want to have dots on, and place the dot matrix screen behind it before photocopying. The finished product will have showed both the black-and-whites of your inks, and the dots from the screen behind. Just remember – never cut the actual dot matrix screen, only your inked paper. Those screens aren’t cheap.

Bold Lines / Fine Lines – By varying widths of your lines, you can create bold areas that stand out more to readers, or ones that have less impact, to let other areas stand out.

Repetitive Lines – Similar to pointillism, but using lines instead. You can also buy screens with lines on them. Try using both styles, dot and line, to create different effects.

White Out – Try filling in areas with black, then using a smaller, cut-out piece of paper to cover up, or ‘mask’ the important stuff you’d like to protect. Fling some white-out at the margin areas, or anything you’d like to add a crazy ‘splatter’ effect to. When you lift your mask, you’ll see a cool new effect that’s easy, fun, and most of all, messy.

Double Outlines – Try double outlining things, and playing with the blacks-and-whites. You’ll see you can create some different feels just by alternating different parts being white and different parts being black.

Get Creative – Add some different effects just by looking at things in print around you. Magazines, newsletters, books and CDs can all provide countless ideas for flavor. Imitate what you like, and play with it.

Above all, however, always remember to remain consistent. You want the reader (and more importantly, yourself) to feel like they’re always looking at the same book. You don’t want them to look at your Inner Circle Member Profile and get one feel, then turn to your Quest Logs and get another. Like we said last month, always remember to take a step back and look at what you have over all – not just the small details you’ve been slaving over. If you need to, take a break, give your eyes a few minutes to forget what they’ve been looking at, and come back to it.

And there you have it! Continue the process on your different pages, and next month, we’ll take it to the copy shop!

Due to the overwhelmingly positive reception of the 8+ Sisterhood's Initiation story, here is another tantalizing tale from everyone's favorite Morton's Angels.

Quest - The Third

2007 by Anabelle of the 8+ Sisterhood

Saturday evening. The boys were out doing their thing leaving us to do ours. We met at the 8+ Lair and began our Karmic Gathering ceremony.

Again the Boulder was activated and came to a stop twice, this time our Quest was to "Revitalize" under the Solar Rise Table; the beginning, the alpha of the 13 Tables contained within Morton's List. The Quests here are based on entertaining activities, and "Revitalize" was certainly one of them as this Quest calls the Inner Circle to relax with massage, sauna, a hot tub, etc....

Another easy one for us.

We decided to postpone the Quest until after dinner, where we enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine and decided we would go into the 8+ Lair's Hot Tub (my apartment's hot tub and pool area).

On our return to the 8+ Lair at nearly midnight, we were tipsy, giggly and happy, and though I had bathing suits for all of us to wear (we're all about the same size give or take a little here or there) we decided on large beach towels and our birthday suits. How exciting! From the 8+ Lair's window we could see there was no one down there, so we went for it.

We arrived at the hot tub, dropped our towels and went into the fiery, bubbly water. It felt super fantastic!

We were halfway through our grueling Quest when two hot, older, Argentinean guys showed up. We were embarrassed, but for the Quest to be complete we needed to stay there for at least an hour.

These guys obviously noticed we weren't wearing anything and asked if they could join us with the bottle of wine and two cups they held. We said sure, thinking they would jump in with their shorts, but no, they took them off causing us all to giggle some more and cover our eyes while still catching a glimpse of their naked bodies coming into the water.

The Sisterhood was impressed.

To make things more interesting we told them we were there to relax and they offered to give us neck and shoulder massages. We gladly accepted.

Wendy and I eventually got a little more friendly with the guys and began kissing. I grabbed my guy under water to feel him get very big very quickly!

Time was up and things were getting out of hand so the other girls suggested we leave, and we did, leaving the boys in the hot tub hanging. I know, it was sort of cruel, but all members of the 8+ Sisterhood are taken.

 




2007 Morton's List Tour de Chance

Tour Dates are being added as fast or faster than events are happening, so if you haven't been to at least one 2007 Morton's List Tour de Chance stop, pick your date and plan your Karma. Some of the best Morton's List events this year and of all time are coming up in the next few months!

Thanks to all those who have submitted or are working on events to become Tour de Chance dates. We are excited to announce yet another new date, a Sanctioned Chaotic event at Florida Super Con in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, June 22nd - 24th, put on by The Karmic Gathering: ¡Devastacion! host, RamGog. This promotional event will plant seeds (in the form of flyers) in fertile soil (people who love Morton's List, but just don't know it yet), and the fruits that result will be reaped come December, when KarmaCane Morton bears down on southern Florida!

The invitation to submit events for the Tour de Chance is still open. Here again is how it works.

There are four CLASSES of Morton's List events:

  • KARMIC GATHERING - the pinnacle of all Morton's List events, and specially designated by the Karmic Order of Twilight Lords
  • OFFICIAL - put on by Center and/or featuring an appearance by one or more Twilight Lords
  • SANCTIONED - put on by an Inner Circle or individual member, not involving a Twilight Lord, but promoted by Center
  • RANDOM - put on by an Inner Circle or individual member, not involving a Twilight Lord, and not promoted by Center
Additionally there are two main TYPES of events:
  • TOURNAMENT - officially recognized by Center as complying with Morton's List tournament play rules and involving official prizes
  • CHAOTIC - not officially recognized by Center as complying with Morton's List tournament play rules and not involving official prizes

Each event will be one of the four Classes and up to one of the two Types. Here is a list of all possible combinations:

  • KARMIC GATHERING TOURNAMENT

  • KARMIC GATHERING CHAOTIC

  • OFFICIAL TOURNAMNET

  • OFFICIAL CHAOTIC

  • SANCTIONED TOURNAMENT

  • SANCTIONED CHAOTIC

  • RANDOM TOURNAMENT

  • RANDOM CHAOTIC
Center encourages all varieties of events, but in order to become part of the Tour de Chance it must become at least a Sanctioned Class event. Its Type may be either Tournament or Chaotic. Send all event submissions and further questions to MortonsWeb@gmail.com.

In preparation for the overhaul of MortonsList.com, all Tour de Chance events are listed on MySpace/mortons_list.

A quick word about volunteering. Center wants YOU to volunteer! Not because it makes our lives easier, though it helps. But because together we can accomplish so much more. It's amazing what a difference just one volunteer at an event can make. We do what we do for the love of Karma. It's all non-profit. So come work along side us, and help us spread Karma to those who have not been touched by Morton. If you live near Mid-Ohio, Southern Illinois, Mid-Indiana, Northern Colorado, Southern Florida, Mid-Alaska or Northern Nevada talk to us. This is your chance to up your game and make the crucial leap from entertained to entertainer. Email Center today.


And now for the updates:

SPOTLIGHT
Spotlighted events are happing SOON. That means before the next issue of The Radius, where they will become part of the What Went Down section. So if you're going to attend or volunteer, NOW is the time to make it happen. You must make the choice. At this point, putting it off is the same as choosing no.

ComFest

Twilight Lord Nathaninja and Loyal Henchman of the Twilight Lords, Alexander, will be passing out Random Reality flyers and six-sided dice to the unsuspecting general populous. Each flyer will have a mini Random Reality game on it. Let the dice fall where they may!

Part multi-stage concert, part hippie fest, part random art and entertainment, ComFest is a HUGE gathering and focus of all the flavor of Columbus, OH. By day there is food, street performers, and tons of groups and ninjas eager to tell you about their passions. By night the families seek cover and the young rule the streets. And did we mention that it's 100% LEGAL to go topless in Columbus? Join The Loyal Henchman of the Twilight Lords and Twilight Lord Nathaninja in Encircling (a guerilla style take-over) ComFest. Quests by day, parties by night, the Karma will flow freely - be apart of it.
