--Maybe you were a "Conqueror Worm", a genuine evolutionary hero.
But see, amid the mimic rout A crawling shape intrude! A blood-red thing that writhes from out The scenic solitude! It writhes!it writhes!with mortal pangs The mimes become its food, And seraphs sob at vermin fangs In human gore imbued. Outout are the lightsout all! And, over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, "Man," And its hero the Conqueror Worm. r - In [email protected], billy jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm not sure that I should reply to you.

As a former shit-eating larvae, I do in fact claim a super-rapid ascent through the evolutionary strata of complex organisms. I have done extensive past-life research into my odious prior incarnations and have found the startling truth. > > Starting from my introduction into the earth realm as a fecal larvae, I transformed into an extremely large and irritating fly, able to viciously bite large sweat-emitting mammals. This lead to my rather rapid demise from a vigorous fly-swat. Next incarnation - grain-devouring rodent, soon dispelled by suffocating poison, terribly painful but quickly liberating. After that I launched deeper into the mammalian realm as a boar, enabling me to recognize and somehow choose to identify as a predator rather than helpless prey. > > Next came a wonderfully deceptive incarnation as a jackal - the key incarnation that caused me to become human. As I remember it, I was tearing out the entrails of a large mammal we had felled. The animal wasn't dead yet and when it looked up in shock, horror and agony at me eating it while still alive, I looked into its eyes and saw "myself" - not literally but rather another desperately entombed intelligence, just like "myself", the jackal. This caused me to suddenly generate the genuine idea "oh, its just like me", and this in spite of the fact that the other animal looked nothing like me. > > That was it - birth of an idea unbound by particularity and able to appreciate something authentically generalized and universal. In other words, I recognized a "universal" - the defining characteristic of human nature according to Socrates of Athens. > > After this pivotal event, I took a quick series of human incarnations, lowly and serf-like at first but later more confident and assertive. From plebeian to patrician was just a couple of incarnations and then wham, I was reborn into 20th century Europe and then here into the new world. > > Now my jyotish chart shows that I'll be reborn into the deva realm after death, obviously because I still can't tell the difference between purusha and the three guna-s. However, I don't feel bad because I figure I'll see everybody else here on FFL in that land of bliss, except Vaj, since we've all been deceived by Mahesh except him. > > So aren't you really impressed at my rapid evolution? Maybe I should try and get promoted to a local, divinized logos like the Mormons claim (they say it is the next step). Maybe it would even beat twenty dark-eyed virgins.
