Our intention, with this essay, is sharing.

Sharing what?

A “RIM” — or “Random Input Module” — for infinite essays, articles, writings, stories; ad infinitum.

You can learn more about what a RIM happens to be by reading this essay.

If you don’t want to read that essay, though, then here’s a definition.

A RIM is a tool you can use to obtain random thoughts, ideas, notions; and so on and so forth.

The idea behind a RIM is that, by obtaining these random things, new ideas will come to you with greater ease.

Just as an example, you might have a question that goes something like “What should I write about?”

And, upon using your RIM, you get “oceans” and “thought.”

This leads to an idea about the ocean of thoughts we all exist within.

Or, something like that.

Regardless of those details, though, let’s go over my RIM!

Random Input Module 01: My Favorite Ideas

Our first RIM is a list of my favorite ideas:

  1. Concept Engines
  2. Investing
  3. Inner Conversations.
  4. New Thought
  5. Infinity
  6. Transcendence
  7. The Singularity
  8. Dream Worlds
  9. The Afterlife
  10. Exploration
  11. Magic/The Occult
  12. All Things Being Connected/Associated
  13. Infinite Selves
  14. Unending Consciousness
  15. The Akashic Records
  16. Infinite Information
  17. Writing
  18. Language
  19. The Imaginal
  20. The Transcendence Of Infinity
  21. Omnipotence
  22. Infinite Higher Worlds/Realms
  23. Technology As A Tool For Transcendence
  24. Imagination As God
  25. The Infinite Universe

And so on and so forth.

Some of these are not “ideas.” But, they are adjacent to ideas and, as such, they fit.

Or, at least, they fit, to me.

Random Input Module 02: My Favorite Things

Our second RIM is a list of my favorite things:

  1. Mind Blowing Books
  2. Outer Space

  50. Planescape: Torment

And so on and so forth.

The list above is far from exhaustive. But, it is sufficient.

Conclusion

The above is our RIM.

But, every RIM is flexible. And, as such, we can, and will, add new items to this RIM.

Or, more specifically, the RIMs comprising our RIM.

On top of that, we will also add new RIMs, to this particular RIM.

By doing so, we will have a larger, and far more vast, canvas to work with.

A canvas that allows for infinite combinations, synthesis, inspiration, novelty; ad infinitum.

On top of that, by working with this canvas, we have access to infinite ideas for new essays, writings, articles, books, stories; ad infinitum.

Essays and writings — ad infinitum — rooted in any particular theme or focus — ad infinitum, of course — such as “mind-blowing essays” or “books that explore transcendence.”

And so on and so forth, endlessly and infinitely; ad infinitum.

All of this is very exciting to me.
