What is the Inner Circle?

The term "Inner Circle" describes three different types of groups, listed here in order from smallest to largest, shortest lasting to longest enduring:

  1. Any group while they are playing Morton's List or otherwise experiencing Random Reality.


  2. A named group organized around playing Morton's List and/or experiencing Random Reality on a regular basis (usually referred to as a "Local Inner Circle")


  3. The group containing all people who have ever played Morton's List or otherwise been awakened by direct experience with Random Reality (usually referred to as the "Global Inner Circle")

Members of the Global Inner Circle are united by the desire to enjoy Random Reality, whether as a leisure activity or a tool for personal evolution, growth and fulfillment. In other respects they are an incredibly diverse group with wide ranging interests. Members' takes on and interests in Morton's List and Random Reality vary widely. Some focus on combating boredom in their lives through wildly unusual activities. Others who are "too busy to be bored" instead use Random Reality to help them see the bigger picture and not get caught up in running in endless circle of being busy all the time. Still others tap into the non-dual spirituality of Random Reality, using it like a compass to always point them towards enlightenment.

The Global Inner Circle is the broad foundation of the movement, or Random Reality Revolution, which brings the entertainment and profound benefits of this lifestyle and philosophy to people everywhere. Currently, there are an estimated 60,000 active members of the Global Inner Circle, worldwide, with the majority living in the U.S. and English speaking countries. Those aged 13 to 30 tend to be most receptive to the message, though Random Reality works for all ages, genders, races and cultural backgrounds.

Using Random Reality to purposely introduce chance into our lives, we stir the pot, unclog the arteries and remove the rust inhibiting us from realizing and reaching our full potential. The Global Inner Circle is waking up, one member at a time, to the limitless possibilities within. You are invited to join the Global Inner Circle, to participate in and become an indispensable member of this extraordinary movement.

Welcome to The Radius Newsletter

S'up, Top o' the mornin', the crow flies at midnight,

Welcome to The Radius newsletter, bringing you this month's Morton's List news and everything Random Reality,

The blazing ball of fire in the sky rises higher, and with it the Karma of Center and the Inner Circle. We are deep into May, International Crystal Skull Month and preparing to launch nation-wide Morton's List events timed with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. These will serve as tailgating for The Karmic Gathering: AlasKarma, an event that will melt wigs right off domes, leaving them glassy and smooth as crystal. Then without relenting, with no time to recover, the one-two punch of the Origins/ComFest combo will complete the Karmic conversion.

We of the Revolution, We of the Movement, We of Center, We of the Inner Circle are poised during the time of Taurus to take the summer of 2008 by the horns. We stand united in our diversity, ready to put our trust in the roll of a die, open to change, the unexpected, synchronicity, prepared to spread the Word of Morton, braced against illusory set-backs and thankful for needed obstacles, game for whatever's next on our personal event horizon.

There IS an end to Boredom. There IS a pathway to real life adventure. The veil separating the world you see today from the real world of unlimited possibilities is thin and easily pierced with the sword of Random Reality. Let the Boulders hit the floor.

In the Eye of Karma,

The Karmic Order of Twilight Lords,

T.A.C.S.

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008



Spotlighted news items are happening SOON. That means before the next issue of The Radius Newsletter. So if you're going to attend, contribute, volunteer or lend Center your Karma from afar, NOW is the time to make it happen. At this point choosing to put it off is the same as choosing to pass.

EVENT - Crystal Skull Global Party

Thursday, May 22nd, a theater new you

Several simultaneous events around the country will mark this noteworthy occasion when Crystal Skulls move to the forefront of planetary consciousness. Each celebrates the premier of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as part of International Crystal Skull Month. Center Detroit's event will include exactly 13 people plus 1 Ark of the Crowvenant and now includes a pre-party thrown by The Empire of Nothing Inner Circle at their Ferndale headquarters, featuring a Crystal Skull documentary! Adminion Rick is hosting a viewing Thursday, May 22nd at 7:00 at the AMC 30 in Olathe, Kansas. And the Twilight Circle is hosting a 3 day Morton's List Marathon, beginning Thursday May 22nd, Friday May 23rd and ending Saturday May 24th!

EVENT - The Karmic Gathering: AlasKarma

Growing Out of Control

Friday, June 13th to Sunday June 15th, Wasilla & Trapper Creek, Alaska

Can you believe it? Little more than one year ago, AlasKarma was announced at The Karmic Gathering: Within in Knoxville, Tennessee. It seemed so far off, so distant, like a dream. Now it is upon us, less than one month away! During this time AlasKarma has evolved from vision to plan to reality, growing larger and more spectacular than ever imagined. To bring it home, consider Friday's schedule of events: It started with one band drawing a few dozen fans, and as of this moment the Friday concert-turned-festival is eight bands strong and expected to draw over 500! The Karma is exploding as more and more Alaskans are finding out about this unprecedented event. Thanks to much hard work and dedication by Big Cheddar and The Order of the N.E.W. Inner Circle, this event is evolving beyond all expectation and imagination! So it has finally come time to make the final call. Do you stay or do you go now? As when making any decision, large or small, we recommend casting a simple six-sided die. Assign one to five numbers to "Go" and the remainder to "Stay." Take a deep breathe and fully commit to the roll and result without regret or attachment to the road not taken.

Camp Karma

100% Karma 0% Drama

It's no secret that the Morton's List community has been well represented at The Gathering of the Juggalos each year by many members of the Global Inner Circle - none more notorious than the ninjas at Camp Karma. Well, Camp Karma is back for the year of 2008. Mutant XIII, Thug Je$u$, Cricket and OverBill are all working mad hard to make sure that only the freshest Karma will be present at the Camp this year. With game demos, seminars and even a trading post, how could it possibly be anything less than legendary?
