To Be Morally Invested...

I am well aware that vast swathes of people everywhere are deeply invested in basic templates, patterns of thinking and 'girders' in the propositions they count on to deliver their own fundamental outlooks to them - girders that they consider to be facts.

Earlier today I was asked by someone to watch a lecture by a mainstream professional academic - who happens to also be a rabbi - on certain ancient fragments which end up being part of Western 'occult' thinking, I suppose you could call it; running the gamut right through the writings and ideas of Cornelius Agrippa and Marsilio Ficino and all the other standard well-known figures in this area.

Around 2,000 bucks! Not cheap, eh, KP!
You know what it is made from,
because you said...

This lecturer did much the same thing that everyone else does who speaks on these subjects, and he even made the same claim that most modern academics do about one particular body of writings - namely, he said that while the 'dialogues' mostly all exist still, there are no full copies of the 'direct discourses...'

Now these sorts of ideas are treasured by academics and one cannot disabuse them of this particular specific thing to do with 'discourse versus dialogue.'

This Blog has become now, but a thin thread of silk to grasp onto if even one may do so at all, since I had, since some time ago now, stopped expressing very clearly all the things I had wanted to say, else we would have ended up in the ditch of the same disputes one will have, if they ever tried to say to modern academics something about a certain numbered 'letter' of which we do indeed retain both originals and copies in museums. Were I to even mention the actual number, already smart people would know what I am referring to as well as the key identities involved.

I cannot say it's really a 'dispute' at all either in academia, or between those who are strictly occultists (in a manner of speaking) and the world of purely mainstream institutional academics (which includes churchmen and women of course and rabbinical thinkers).

Encryption. (I just had to delete something
from right here! lol)

That is because no one possessing the knowledge would care to bother the academics.

The Fifth Century produced, of course, the guy to whom is attributed 'Gregorian Chant.'

It is not until virtually a thousand years later that we encounter Agrippa and his disputes with the church. But it was in fact Pope Gregory, who was first to face this idea about the lack of substance of the higher mind, and in his case, it arose from a dispute about whether the 'resurrected person' was so subtle as to be impalpable.

In today's world, the exact same argument still persists of course, but it takes the form of an argument between science and the current iteration of psychology - and West Coast American folkloric culture...

Interestingly, I noted this lecturer I was listening to, actually refer to 'Attribution Theory' along the path of his dissertation - but I must tell those of you who are not aware 'Attribution Theory' is mostly today a management tool, since (and you will find this statement right up front in Wiki when you go look, because you will do that...):

'...Humans are motivated to assign causes to their actions and behaviors.'  

However most people you will casually encounter who pick up 'Attribution Theory' - as our friend KP is either permanently verging on doing, or he would have now except I have gotten in first around him here, as it were(!) (See, I can do 'future thought crime' blaming too, right?) - and sling it at you, want to use an extension of it, to the (this) effect that: things that actually happen, have causes we falsely attribute due to our own pre-existing biases.

'Substance' = meat + potatoes; 
impermissible substance = + bacon.
...At least it is for you good Muslims, who insanely
come here and read.

By this moment in the route I had set about to follow, perhaps just a year ago now, I was going to show all the people who read here, a systematic mechanism, whereby you will ineluctably gain money, attain wealth - although it will not be from the 'work of your hands' as it were.

You see, a great pine forest grows over several years - starting out from seeds to saplings and then young trees and then to great tall trees. And in that time, many forests must go through very deep winters with very deep, heavy snow.

'Money...' is exactly like that.

Sometimes it is in the deep freeze. Sometimes it is hidden. Sometimes it exists only in seed form. The underlying force, including the exchange or currency substance - is something quite 'other' than paper or even computer digits.

It has flow, it has force, but it also has real substance.

Money does not 'die and go to dollar heaven;' not either as a 'body so subtle as to be more subtle than air and no longer a tangible thing' (the heresy of Eutychius of Constantinople, which Gregory the Great debated against), nor simply because it theoretically has no substance at all or 'actuality' other than its 'currency' and material expression (coins, paper etc).

The only thing different about money compared to a pine forest - is that you cannot see it, in its true underlying form.

Consequently, neither are you able to 'see' when it is covered in heavy snow. And nor can you easily see it, when it is thick and green and prolific. This last thing you would be amazed at knowing fully and understanding at depth - because you would be shocked that it is not at all as you might imagine, namely that you can easily sense when it is around in volume and flowing at a high rate...

Because If you were able, after all, you would not be as poor and broke as you all are!

And despite that you are, the majority of you would yet argue with me like your lives depended upon how strongly you can cling onto the bad idea.

As my friend Bridge regularly says - 'turn up at your house, in your living room, right now this evening as you are watching tv, and say hi.' You see, if that happened, half of you would actually make an appointment with your local lunatic doctor to ask him to tell you that you are not having hallucinations, and most of the other half would tell all their friends immediately without realizing the jealousy, envy and rage they would be inviting on themselves.

As for the remaining three of you - I or someone very like me, is about to show up at your doorstep, or even right there next to you in your living room, and hand you over a set of keys, plus a pair of binoculars with which to see the great, big, deep, green, pine forests.

To Be Rightly Guided

Money is a mask. It covers truth and lies.

Personally I cannot fault Stanley Kubrick's last movie, even though it is only a pale reflection of things - yet even so, it contains almost all of the key elements you will need to attain what you want you possess.

And I go back to it often to make some points, although these are generally points being made at arms length. Because believe me, if you were right here, with me, in a very short few moments you would not 'be here' at all!

There are a few of you who wonder still whether I am simply pulling your leg, right?

2 billion people on the face of the planet today are believers in the Quran and Allah. The Wikipedia entry, for example, on the 'Rightly Guided Caliphs'  (the first four successors of Muhammad, who led or ruled the believers after his death), is pages and pages long, and goes into great detail about their battles waged and all the territory they roamed into and what happened there, down to the numbers of soldiers who went with them and how many they conquered in various particular specific battles and so on and so forth.

There is not one single item of historical evidence for their having ever existed, however, at all.

There are no coins dating from the actual time they were supposed to have reigned and ruled, no monuments, and no independent accounts of them anywhere - not even from Muslims. The entire narrative begins with a certain 'Muawiyah' allegedly, since the actual documentation about him with regard to his being the emir of the believers, is two hundred years later in a recension by other writers altogether - the main one of these being by a certain Ibn Hisham of Iraq, who is regarded by all classical scholars, as 'not reliable.'

Timothy, a writer of a short 'book' in the Christian New Testament, is - despite all Christians everywhere virtually decrying LGBTQ anything - a gay guy from then Anatolia (sort of Turkey), who was known to have personally hated women all of his life and was eventually stoned to death because of it.

Now.

This is not to say that there are not huge truths in significant ancient writings, because there are - but I would like to direct your attention to that episode in the movie I bang on about all the time, where Tom goes to the gate... ...and gives them the pass-code.

You wouldn't have so much anosmia
if you looked at the tower there, and
instantly thought: Serge Mansau.
But did you? LOL prolly not, right?

Right so there are a lot of people who tell me, rather often: why, if you have so much knowledge and power, do you propose financial arrangements over various things?

Well I don't, really. I try to warn people especially the too youthful and the naiive, to stay away and not mess around with things that are going to potentially drown them and sweep them away somewhere they don't want to go right now.

Daneila Niederer-De Lillo, who just played this track I shall be using in a forthcoming 'thing' - a little something that will certainly spin a few heads - has not uploaded it anywhere properly yet, and so the music I have posted here today, is a substitute item, that is not like the one I wanted to use but it will certainly do - especially if you are still in the mode of quietly just 'contemplating' rather than partying (which is what I'm all about right now).

So after you have thoroughly pushed yourself to overcome your 'anosmia,' and think you are making some headway, and you think you are getting glimpses of 'lights' (lol)...

...then what you need to remember is what Tom did at the gates.

Right?

Remember that?

Okay so right off the bat I want to tell you no one uses 'words' or 'numbers' at all; not for pass-codes, and your personal log-in.

What you should be seeing, are literally plain sort of opalescent, jade or creamy milky colored 'casts of your face,' together with certain symbols that pertain only to you exclusively (although as far as I understand, these are not necessarily unique, there will be others who have similar symbol links that you do - and that will mean they are like you).

Just as I have criticized other narrative accounts of things above, the 'rangavalli' Vedic system is completely and ludicrously mangled up into a bunch of pop culture nonsense.

But for you, it is possible to 'extract' or to maybe 'extricate' some symbols and ideas out of the common material and to use them correctly.

Even the Sanskrit and Pali text regimes described today are very very primitive and no one writes like that anymore anywhere - the actual 'scripting' that is used (so I'm talking used 'somewhere,' right?) is like running writing and leans over to the side, although it does indeed have multiple layers per phonetic symbol or at least you could say, written-down 'phoneme.'

The problem you will be having, when you attempt to make contact - and that is regardless of even if you have spent a bunch of money and are attending some Monroe Institute thing or the like - is that you have not been 'logging in,' and very likely you don't know what your log-in is, or how to get it/retrieve it.

I just included here a copy of the Pali (Devanagiri)/Sanskrit alphabet and number chart. The most basic thing you should know well and be able to recognize, or 'sense' is personal to you, at the very least - is the first letter of your first name.

And by the way - this all happens to be in the New Testament but I ain't telling you where to find it!

Coming up very very soon, will be the next in the series of little prose texts we have been 'putting forth' - and the only people who will be getting this free, will be you. It will give you an insight into things our friend Stanley did not set out in picture form, and you will see however, just how much he was sticking in, though only in the form of symbolism - whereas in this upcoming thing, you will find it in its true form; which will make a world of difference.

What Is Appropriate To You

Because we as a civilization, are still coming out of vast eras of Imperialism and physical conquest in some form -, be it through choking supply lines by strategic political machination, or outright military battle - what is almost always reflected as the most prized social values, is valor and heroism in the form of literal fighting.

'Adam's Peak' in Sri Lanka, where 'Adam'
first lived, after he was set out from the
enclosed compound
called 'Eden;' according to several religious
traditions, and the folklore of many 
different peoples.  

It just cropped up with me this week, and even some people around me have been commenting about some things coming through their social media feeds too, even in places like Quora - something to do with what is being presented as the Christian ethic about women covering their hair or the heads.

The thing went as far as presenting this whole idea about women simply always covering their heads, because according to the fable being told, Paul in 1 Corinthians had a lot to say about it...

...You know, that whole thing about who is the boss of whom.

So I had a big fight with a bunch of people on-line because I said to them: 'no such thing exists in Christianity at all.'

Naturally, there was an uproar.

And so I said, why are all of you refusing to quote the next sentence in the stuff you keep shoving at women - this verse here (1 Corinthians 11:16), which says: "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." (Have any such custom or rules).

We have... ...no such custom.

That's what the book actually says.

The full meanings of the entirety of the passages in question are far away from the comprehension of those who wish to forces their ideas onto women, and I am not really going to go into it here.

Rubinacci 'Gurkha pants.'

But what I do want to mention, is that it seems to be a habit of human society at large, that not long after someone comes and frees people's minds up from something, certain people just go right back and even use that very liberation itself, to force the same old ways to creep right back in, this time under the guise of the rubric of the very liberation matter itself.

In our own times they've done it with Freud, with Newton, and they are close to doing it with Einstein.

The Gurkha Army was effectively cast away in one of the most disgusting abuses of people's goodwill, by the UK government in relatively recent times, to the extent that only Singapore and Brunei now have authentic Gurkha units. 

But even so, I don't personally agree they even are 'Gurkha,' but only an imaginary version of what 'Gurkha' means.

'Gurkha' means followers of one of the Nine Saints of India (Navnath) - and these are different to the Seven Sages (Saptarishi), but even so, they possess supernatural powers; 'Gorakshanath' being a particular 'saint' (holy man, master of Divine Yoga), who is the originator of the lineage therefore, of 'Gurkha' disciples (IE of his teachings.)  

Killing and fighting is in fact, not, one of his teachings.

How the Gurkha soldiers acquired their literally second-to-none reputation as war fighters, was due to the idea that the disciples of Gorakshanath, did not fear death at all.

And there is a saying that 'anyone who says they do not fear death, is either lying, or a Gurkha.'

However, the fact is, that Gorakshanath, was someone outside of the laws of time, and appeared in different eras and in different places all over the world, to demonstrate and to underscore the teachings of Krishna after Krishna left the Earth the first time - and to spread his message of Love and the overcoming of obstacles in order (for people) to unite with Mahavishnu or Shiva or Shakti.

I myself do promote the union with Shakti (Shakti-yoga), and in this regard I could say a few things about that passage by Paul in 1 Corinthians. The passage has to do with 'women prophesying' - and being originally a strict orthodox Jew, Paul was obviously aware (unlike many people today) of what that actually meant in terms of Hebrew customs.

Within the portable goatskin tent called 'the Tabernacle/Holy of Holies,' as I have made mention of here before not too long ago - the Shekinah descended following the ritual sacrifice of Frankincense smoke, and only certain priest class or caste people, some of whom were women, would receive messages from the Shekinah which then became the prophecies for the next year, to the Jews.

As you know, Joanna Lumley's
father's life was saved by this Gurkha.

At a certain point though, and due to some extended term of various Hebrew leaders disobeying the prophecies, the Shekinah left the Tabernacle and did not return.

During the time of Paul, the view was that the Shekinah had returned to the Christian 'sect,' as the rest of the Jews would have called it.

Thus, in all events, Paul was talking expressly about a specific occasion, and a specific 'ritual' in which certain things happened, one of which being that actual 'angels' were seen to  descend accompanying the Shekinah.

What is this 'Shekinah?'

Well, there is the Sun - this is a star in our solar system, and it burns and propagates light which you can see and which makes other things visible; then, the light energy also produces heat, which you cannot see, but which you can feel.

Now unless you are (that is, have been) in some place where you yourself have felt the heat - so to speak - of some actual Divine Source, you have not ever been to a Christian ritual...

And what does heat do? Well, it can warm food, cook food, boil water to make coffee -, in short, it produces thermal effects.

Divine effects, are supernatural things, such as miracles.

And unless you have experienced supernatural, that is, actual miraculous things, you have not been in contact with the Shekinah.

Or with Shakti. 

For that matter.

...And you are not a real Gurkha, unless you have.

Shakti and Shekinah are the same thing, because, as was just mentioned, 'Gorakshanath is outside of the laws of time, and appears in different ages at different places in the Earth, but to procure the same outcomes that Krishna ordered...'

All Christians MUST be yoked (is the actual term used in the New Testament), to the Shekinah.

This is called 'Shakti-Yoga' - 'yoga' as you know, simply meaning 'yoked.'

Just Some Practical Logic Stuff...

Even Barack Obama was caught recently, or at least forced to offer an expanded explanation of something he had said a while ago - while he was President-in Office, in fact - with regard to what the US Government knows about ET's and UFO's.

This whole thing has become a modern 'nuther Doomsday Cult' phenomenon!

There is so much commentary on-line - both from Christians as well as Muslims and some Jews too - about an imminent 'invasion' of some evil beings in these vehicles. The Christians and Muslims talking about 'fallen angels' and demons, while the Jews who lean to this negative perspective use slightly different terminology but it all amounts to the same thing. And then there are those that are neither Jews nor Christians or even Muslims - who go on about the evil 'Draconians' or the 'Reptilians.'

Portable 'IFOF' unit - identification friend-or-foe.
The US Military has a lot more data
on these craft, than they
have been saying even now.

All that has happened - all - is that the US Military has multiple radar and tracking and video data recordings showing the evident reality of something 'up there' flying around in restricted air-space.

This is nothing new as far as what is going on 'up there.' The only thing that is new is the quality of and the amount of, recording equipment and the retained data, plus the public admission about it.

There is no 'invasion.' What is happening has always been happening - for absolute centuries upon centuries. No invasion back then, and no invasion now!

There's no invasion.

Obama said something like there would be new religions formed because of the acknowledgement that there are ET Alien life-forms in the (rest of the) Universe.

Well right now, these people are insisting that some kind of 'Doomsday' scenario is at hand.

The Aliens are bad, according to them all.

The funniest thing of all is how so many YT people are claiming to have had 'prophetic dreams from God' telling them there are going to be mass abductions and that the Aliens are evil and demonic - and all that kind of stuff.

'Divine Red.' ...I had a dream, that
one day -.

I never got a dream from God! What's wrong with me? Doesn't God like me? How about you? Did you get a special personal 'dream from God...?'

'HEY - so-and-so... This is GOD here. Here is a dream especially for you, about how the Aliens are evil and you must choose this path and not that path. Choose wisely.'

Oh yes God. Thanks for just talking to me, right. And for those other select few like me. I will tell everyone else that I can, but no doubt they will just laugh and scoff at me - but at least I shall have discharged my duty to warn them. At least I will be saved. And will go to Heaven. Because I am so special.

I had a school board meeting this week, and on the board are some people who look after disabled people. Now if one of them had have come to me or just blurted out to everyone 'hey I had this dream' well I tell you what, I would be listening very carefully.

But no one of them did, so I am telling you, there is no invasion happening, the ET Aliens are not bad or evil or anything like that - as far as I can see from anything that one could imagine is actual 'evidence' of anything.

Sure there is a lot of Biblical prophecy that seems to be 'coming to pass' and it may well be.

The day after the main school board meeting, I was walking through the city here, and saw a middle-aged guy sitting in an alley off the main city Mall. And he looked like he could have been a disabled guy, a kind of 'developmental' sort of disability thing...

In our city Mall there are these Council social workers and the police have an involvement in that angle as well - we are a very enlightened place here. So I didn't do anything and went where I was headed and then, on the way back I saw the same guy in the same place but it was very clear he was on heroin.

Twelve princesses, go across
this lake, see, to
'dance the night away.'

So when the End of the World happens, who is going to clean up this whole entire mess? Does God just 'press a magic God-button' and everything is fixed? Why couldn't He have done that before? Why couldn't He have done it sooner?

There are good people around who do things to help. I know them. And you maybe know a few.

There is no excuse on God's part if He is 'just delaying' doing something.

Which means (as I said in the title) that is not logically, what is going on.

It doesn't mean 'there is no God.'

It means the greater public opinion is incorrect - same as it cannot be correct that there is 'about to be an ET Alien invasion of the Earth.'

So what is God doing? What is the logic of it all...

LOL

Oh you think you are going to get away with these beautiful gleaming golden answers all in one hit here and now?

I give you step 'the first,' though. Go read Grimm's Fairy Tale of 'The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes.' 

  

The Bathos Of Modern Argumentation

So that was not any kind of clever phrasing - it definitely isn't particularly humorous. However I want to look at this word 'bathos' because it is the basis for my discussion here right now. 

Now we all at least know that the word is Greek and simply has one superficial, technical level of meaning that is simply 'depth.' Okay fair enough, that in itself is some irony right there: superficial but deep... I am trying desperately not to make stupid jokes but right now it has proven unavoidable for me!

What am I drinking, Bill? Nothing actually - just water.

Swiss clouds - screenshot from
the movie 'The Clouds of Sils Maria.'

Anyway, let me get back to the actual point.

There is no way I can hold serious sensible conversations in public these days, because people go look up Google-Search and there, they find 'TRUTH...' Right?

The Wikipedia entry on 'bathos' - if you take it all-in-all - says that this is a literary device that either deliberately seeks to create a ridiculous moment, or accidentally does so (and here is where I dispute with them all) by being ridiculous, abruptly and incompetently juxtaposing something that is common or vulgar, against something earlier which was lofty or grand.

The final example they (Wikipedia people) give is this, from a short narrative description by the English poet John Dryden:

"The cave of Proteus rises out of the sea, it consists of several arches of rock work, adorned with mother-of-pearl, coral, and abundance of shells of various kinds. Through the arches is seen the sea, and parts of Dover Pier."

Kindly, at least, I suppose, Wikipedia admits that what they are going to tell you, is that 'today, bathos refers to rhetorical anticlimax...'

Cartier 'scented cloud' in Paris.

...But then it never quite gets around to saying what it was, before, 'today.'

You see, there is definitely a way to apply the word albeit it is a droll way of applying the actual original word and its true ancient classical meaning - to the defining characteristic of American television humor: Frasier being an exact case example of it.

However the ancient Greeks who treated these things seriously though in very different ways than people do now (now, it's a box you tick on the way to a University English Degree), used the word the same way we use it to describe a 'bathysphere...' Namely: you go down deep. Deeper than you can naturally go, and maybe, deeper than you are really supposed to go, if you are in search of something in a given boundary. Therefore, you are really in fact, pushing a boundary the wrong way.

This has nothing at all to do with humor and it isn't funny, and it is never meant to be funny and it is, in fact, dangerous.

Many excellent modern movies - City of Angels, Clouds of Sils Maria, Siesta (1987) for three examples that spring easily to mind - draw intense emotions from the viewer because they are submerging them into an 'exceeding depth.' In both cases, the narratives have to resort to 'mystery' and/or supernatural and 'unreal' elements to get there.

In both cases, the lynch-pin of the human emotional depth - is death.

Siesta - movie starring Jodie Foster and
Ellen Barkin

In reality, you will observe, in fact we cannot, traverse into death - and get back from there!

Not actually. Which is the device then used to produce a completely false narrative about death, though one that we mostly all accept naturally. Mischievously, these movies convince people ever more so that death is genuinely a terminal, terminating, evil 'place/condition/event/outcome.' But, it satisfies the political system that thrives by making people full of fears or else refusing to confront reality in any actual, and practical, way.

Thus when people do not really know what lies in the depths there - Hamas can get away with inviting you believe that it is 72 virgins for the suicide bomber 'believer' (it's never the actual 'knower,' you will observe), and politicians can get you to behave yourself according to the notion that this is the only place in which, by our own devices, we 'might' (so long as you, behave yourself according to the laws they have made for you) create Utopia maybe for us in old age and mayhaps for those who come after us.

They all tell stories of the past and make promises for the future. Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today.

Eyes Wide Shut never made the descent to bathos - although in every possible way whatsoever, the whole entire movie is set up to do it - by having either one of the two key characters, those played by Tom and Nicole, die at or towards the end, or even at any pivotal point along the way.

Versailles 'Masked Ball' - 
definitely still on this year, and soon.

However I will tell you, you should imagine that one or both of them (the movie characters) is in fact, 'dead' and in absolute real terms too. This is not something I am inviting you to suppose as far as what you would say was standard film literary critique method in any way at all!

But it is what the occult perception will absolutely say.

If you take it as an outright occult manifesto about human life and the human condition, then that is what the movie is telling you.

We are entering an historic moment, at which the 'official' (means you will see Wikipedia tell you that it is so... And Wikpedia is the source archive of all truth and knowledge throughout the Universe) - position is that there are sentient life forms that traverse time and space.

And on that basis, I am suggesting to you, that the 'standard religious narrative texts' are that there is an 'identity' without known father or mother, who is not locked into one particular usual lifetime. Muslims say al-Khidr, Christians and Jews 'the King of Salem.'

But the problem is, the texts do not say this is a 'supernatural' figure you see only in your dreams and visions - but an actual real physical person.

So here is where I am going to tell you the problem with 'spirit channeling' people and mystical visions and 'meditation' and all of that. These are all about 'imagined' or 'envisioned' things.

And yes for sure you can 'see' something with your 'mind consciousness' and I will tell the secret why...

'The Green Knight' - by
Alexandre Chaudret

Light is the fastest thing our senses employ but it is not by any means the only sense pathway. Boeing engineers - pilot ergonomics designers - know that the human has what they call 'highly optically-claimed sense channels.'

If you go looking for what lies beyond death, and you go in a 'bathyscape' you will end up in bathos, and you will be emotionally dragged under. If you go in a 'impossibly' very fast space rocket you will run out of dimension. (Try it - draw a line with a laser pointer across a wall, and then imagine the wall retreats into Eternity and then tell me what happens with the speed of light across the horizontal 'line on the retreating wall' at some point...)

Why would anyone have to do a Monroe Institute full course or something - to 'see,' that is, to really encounter al-Khidr? Where does it say that in any of the standard narratives?

Well my answer to the ordinary person is, well it will get you to the 'seeing' part, at least.

But some of you are not ordinary people. And you want the whole nine yards.

The first thing is probably you feel the throbbing and understand it (this is music), then the truly clear thing is seeing, and that is via light, and because it is the quickest thing to get to your mind.

Olfactory sense is not, about chemicals, as much as it has been standard theory to date to say that - it is about electron spin polarity. And that is because if it were just about the movement of tiny chemicals through the air, then it would be dependent in the discrete 'brain labeling' function on atmosphere, and air-current or movement or flow, and it isn't. It is dependent on whatever the data signal is that compounds carry with them - and the chemical 'keys' are just not sufficient by a great magnitude to account for olfactive functioning.

al-Khidr always dresses in green and we can adduce from that, that 'somehow' we are being told to look in the middle, and not at the ends, or in the depths or even in the heights.

Unless you completely substitute your standard passing physical sensory and brain/memory pathways, with something that is not weak and failing or subject to external disorder and chaotic and random interference - you will never see al-Khidr.

It isn't 'orbs of light' I am suggesting people go after. It is geometry, and algebra, and trigonometry, and music.

You can do no better beginning right there.

You watch our very good friend tell us right away that standard symptoms of schizophrenia includes hallucinatory olfactory experiences. And yes it does - but these are not experiences in keeping with waking reality anyway: these are kinds of synaesthesia but where well, a lemon exudes the odor of - a gherkin...! For example!

Unless you have a good firm grasp of reality as you are in your existential mediocre sense state - how are you going to perceive actual reality; that is, permanent existence?

This is about toddlers walking and getting up on their trikes.

Your new steed-of-war -

Senses are trained. They can be nascent but to use them functionally as 'adults' they have to be trained. A baby cannot really 'comprehend' vinegar. Sugar in the form adults consume it, tastes like poison.

If you see god you die.

And that's really, a fact. That is, it is a fact unless your senses are trained and are strong enough to accommodate what they are 'holding.'

And that is also the reason for so much subterfuge: 'for some have entertained such beings unawares.'

You, however, will not be, unaware. Because you are in training now.

Aren't you?

An ordinary person, average in all ways except maybe too average, too symmetric, not a 'grey-skinned skinny creature...' Even in vocal tone. Fairly pleasant. Calm. Relaxed. Unperturbed by what perturbs ignorant people.

Comes out of clouds as their only known source of being here at all, steps back into clouds and disappears again.

This kind of thing is presented in the Clouds of Sils Maria but as a metaphor for death.

That is bathos. The surgeon Maggie Rice dies in City of Angels and that is bathos.

Well, I am sure I 'could' entertain Meg Ryan too, but I absolutely assure you it would not be 'unawares!'

You want experiences, you want reality, and you moreover, you want agency too - the question is, do you know how to entertain?

And that is why you train. And that is the only reason, kids. And I never use words casually.
