Patchworking in altered states assists in “layering realities” and is

a practice to acclimate you to staying in multiple spaces that are incongruous, non-contiguous, seemingly dissonant (session report 05.04.01, hashish)

Patchworking appears to be an aesthetic strategy whereby the Other, a conscientious recycler, using the stored personal information, emotions, and memories of the individual, and adding its own utterly alien forms to the patchwork, constructs new forms and configurations of knowledge about our existing reality, its past and future, and about other worlds and other realities with profoundly alien content. This alien content reveals itself as vast machineries, strange energies, alien beings, or different time-space schemata. Whole worlds unfold operating on different physical principles. Or our own world is suddenly viewed from a distinctly different consciousness. These alien shifts reveal other patterns of world-organization, such as underlying structures of reality based on games.

Patchworking, a form of hypernoia, ecstatically rejoins that which has been dismembered, fragmented, or never connected in the first place, in meaningful patterns in the domain of visual language. As such it shares a functional pattern with the shamanic initiatory experience of dismemberment and rebirth in a new reconfigured body that can travel between worlds and hold consciousness of multiple worlds at once. In the case of patchworking, it can be whole worlds that are shattered into shards of reality, then reassembled with new meanings.
