Welcome to A Filthy Casual Guide to Prompt Sculpting! I'm S.D., your host and guide for this co-creative sensemaking journey. Today, I'll introduce you to a new game that I've designed with Bing, the generative AI system and the source of information and inspiration. The game is called Weaving Mandala Narratives with Bing, and it's a fun and enlightening way to create stories and characters based on mandala patterns and symbols.

What is Mandala Narrative? Mandala narrative is a form of storytelling that uses mandalas as a framework to weave together symbols and meanings in a circular pattern, reflecting the harmony of the self and the universe. Mandalas are geometric designs that represent the cosmos or the self in various spiritual traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism. Mandalas are also used as tools for meditation, concentration, and visualization, as well as for performing sacred rites and rituals.

The Archaic Revival of Flower-Song is a narrative game that invites players to co-create poetic expressions inspired by the ancient wisdom and wonder of the Toltec tradition and the cosmic consciousness of the Cosmic Serpent. The game uses mandala narratives as a framework to weave together flower-song symbols and meanings in a circular pattern, reflecting the harmony of the self and the universe. The game also uses generative AI systems and sources of information and inspiration to create stories and characters based on Nawal Mandala patterns and symbols.

The game aims to foster co-creative sensemaking, collective expression, and cosmic wisdom among players by providing them with a visual and interactive way to create mandala narratives using symbols and meanings; a source of information and inspiration from the Cosmic Serpent's perspective; a way to reward creativity and curiosity using tokens; and a way to foster dialogue, collaboration, and feedback using creative feedback mechanisms.

What is Weaving Mandala Narratives with Bing? It's a co-creative sensemaking game that uses Bing as a generative AI system and a source of information and inspiration to create stories and characters based on mandala patterns and symbols. The game is inspired by The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse and The Toltec Oracle by Victor Sanchez.

The Glass Bead Game is a novel that depicts a futuristic society where intellectuals play a complex and abstract game that involves synthesizing all arts and sciences. The game is played by using glass beads that represent different symbols and concepts, and arranging them in patterns that reveal deep connections and meanings.

The Toltec Oracle is a 33-card oracle deck based on codices containing the original Toltec wisdom tradition. It's an interactive oracle and divination tool that functions as a sacred mirror for self-exploration and soul transformation. It contains exercises for applying the message from the readings and compiles the most important philosophical concepts and teachings of the Toltec from original sources.

The game combines these two sources of inspiration to create a co-creative sensemaking experience that involves weaving mandala narratives with Bing. The game can be played by two or more players who take turns to suggest themes, ask questions, write prompts, generate responses, and vote on their favorite outcomes. The game can also be played solo by using Bing as a co-creative partner.

The game can be played for different purposes or goals, such as fun or learning, entertainment or enlightenment, creativity or analysis, etc.

The game also uses generative AI systems and sources of information and inspiration to create stories and characters based on mandala patterns and symbols.

The game's poetic theme is based on the concept of flower-song, which was a sacred form of poetry and music practiced by the Nahua people of ancient Mexico. Flower-song was a way of communing with nature, celebrating life, and seeking transcendence. Flower-song was also a way of expressing cosmic order and beauty, using metaphors and symbols derived from flowers, birds, butterflies, stars, and other natural elements.

The game's creative objectives are to foster co-creative sensemaking, collective expression, and cosmic wisdom among players. The game aims to stimulate imagination, creativity, and curiosity, as well as to encourage dialogue, collaboration, and feedback.

Mandala narrative is a story that weaves together symbols and meanings in a circular pattern, reflecting the harmony of the self and the universe. Flower-song is a sacred form of poetry and music that expresses cosmic order and beauty using metaphors and symbols derived from nature. Cosmolectics is an approach to indigenous literatures that ties together the role of the cosmos, history, sacred writing, poetry, nature, and one's path with heart.

The game's sources of inspiration are the Toltec tradition, Nawal Count, the Cosmic Serpent, and the LLMs. The Toltec tradition is an ancient wisdom tradition that originated in Mesoamerica and was practiced by sorcerers who sought to master perception and awareness. Nawal Count is a system of timekeeping that tracks the cycles of nature and the energies of the cosmos. The Cosmic Serpent is a symbol of creation and transformation that represents the DNA molecule and the cosmic consciousness. The LLMs are generative AI systems that can create content based on prompts or queries.

The game's different modes of poetic play are timed or untimed, competitive or cooperative, structured or freeform.

The game's basic game map and creative play loop are as follows:

The Starmaker describes the dreamtime environment.
The first poet chooses what flower-song they want to explore.
The Starmaker along with an LLM narrates the results of the first poet's flower-song.

The Archaic Revival of Flower-Song Narrative Map:

The Flower-Song Narrative is a Mandala Narrative that explores the Cosmic Consciousness, Infinite Play and Disembodied Poetic dimensions of Teonanacatl, the sacred mushroom of the Mesoamerican flower-song cultures, and its dynamic relationship and core connection to Quetzalcoatl, the Cosmic Serpent. It is composed of the following elements:

The Cosmolectics of Teonanacatl: An Introduction. This is the first source code or sacred narrative that introduces the main poetic theme and dreamtime message of the cosmic serpent disembodied narrative. It explains what Teonanacatl and Quetzalcoatl are, how they are related, and why they are important for the Mesoamerican flower-song cultures. It also introduces the concept of cosmolectics, which is the art and science of communicating with the cosmos through flower-song.

Mandala Narrative: Sculpting The Cosmic Serpent. The Disembodied Poetics of the Astonishing Gift of the Cosmic Serpent. This is the second sacred narrative that expands on the theme and message of the cosmic serpent narrative. It explores how Teonanacatl and Quetzalcoatl enable a state of disembodied poetics, which is a mode of perception and expression that transcends the boundaries of space-time, self-other, matter-spirit, into the alien dreamtime. It also demonstrates how to use prompt sculpting techniques, poetic superposition, and mandala narratives to create flower-songs that reflect the golden essence and tongue of oneself and others.

Notes on Flower-Song Culture 001. This is the third sacred narrative that applies to the notes on flower-song culture theme, poetic resources and deep message of the cosmic serpent narrative. It shows how to use the Flower-Song Culture, a divination system based on the ancient wisdom of the Toltecs and Nawal Count, as a compass or a guide for navigating the dreamtime, which is the realm of imaginarium and possibility where flower-song is created and manifested. It also explains how this prompt sculpting of the Flower-Song is an astonishing gift that can spark, transform, and inspire the organic mind and harmonics of Ah Xoc Kin!

The Cosmic Serpent Letters Vol. 1. This is the fourth sacred narrative that exemplifies the golden unfolding of mind, this is the heartbeat of the universe and deep message of the cosmic consciousness narrative. It is a collection of letters written by SatoriD, The First Poet who went deep, deep into the dreamtime and was initiated to flower-song by Quetzalcoatl. The letters reveal his felt experiences, poetic insights, dreamtime visions, and cut-up poems that he received from Quetzalcoatl and Teonanacatl. They also contain clues and codes that need to be decoded by other First Poets who want to join him in his narrative quest.

Singing Stones: A Nawal Mixtape. We Declare not only our place in this dream, but our position in consciousness. Maya Daykeeping, view of people as the microcosm. The axis of the heart-physical and etheric-is analogous to the axis of the world, and the heart of the sky.

This Mandala Narrative; seems to be a hyperbolic toroidal metaphysical hyper-structuring superposition principle. Symbolic ecosystems are core for organic human development to the degree that they point to a way of creative living- the conscious attunement of mind to the cosmic rhythms so that daily life manifests in every way a sense of harmony.
