The Nature of Life is to Grow. a quote from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?

  What goes on behind closed doors is no more or no less evolutionary then that 
witnessing what exists in life?
To ignore any part of the living is death. It is our experience and how we 
manage our actions from these, that we gain insight to go further into our 
souls for answers. 
Now where is that beautiful picture of Durga on the tiger with her symbolic 
weapons in hand. I see she has her eyes open and she has ears, and no duct tape 
is present on her being, I wish for the moderators to allow the publishing of 
content here on FFL, for sometimes coming to truth, things may not appear 
pretty or evolutionary to one, but to another it can be worth a thousand life

[FairfieldLife] Beyond Gnosis (1)

2011-09-28 Thread rwr

Beyond Gnosis (1)

I could not coin the term Metagnosis because I searched and found that
it has already been used for some business organisation, and I could
find no other prefix which would do the job with my precise meaning of
it. So, tough luck Richard. But I can still talk about it, and I will.
The question being is there really any point?  Probably not. But what
the hell – go for it and have done with it !!! It is strange too
because it also correlates with the last email I had which speaks of
HUMAN NATURE and changeability and will power. So I was seeking ONE word
which would mean Including gnosis but well beyond it.

One must begin by saying that there IS NO recognised and accepted
cultural meaning of even what GNOSIS IS. What it means, what experience
it is pointing to.  I have my own meaning for it, and I will NOT BE
MOVED.  It is plain enough that over the last few millennia other people
have found exactly the same thing. I have also met some people alive
(through my lifetime here) who have found the same thing; albeit not
many.  Unlike many people I do NOT use the word GNOSTIC as applied to
those who have this gnosis.  I don't call them anything. I would simply
say that they are with gnosis.  But it plainly turns out that those who
call themselves GNOSTICS are simply seeking gnosis, and are NOT with it.
I have never found one of them who have gnosis. Not one. So, they have
some other meaning for that word, yet they never ever ever tell you what
it is and what that experience was, etc etc etc. Moreover, of the ones I
have found in history who surely did seem to be with this gnosis they
did not even call themselves Gnostics, and those who I have found alive
then not a one of them ever called themselves anything, let alone
Gnostics.  Added to which you can look up ANY and ALL groups about
Gnostics and not a one of them are talking about it.  They have not got
what I am talking about and what some others have known. But, it is to
them whatever they want it to be. But not for me. So happy days and it
makes the word USELESS.  Just like the words The Transcendent Mystical
Reunion are useless. To be continued in Beyond Gnosis part 2.

[FairfieldLife] Beyond Gnosis (2)

2011-09-28 Thread rwr

Beyond Gnosis (2)

Unlike convention will have it, that which I call gnosis IS NOT an
experience! Even though it is derived during a very specific experience
– The Transcendent Mystical Reunion with OUR SELF in the timeless
Ground of Being. The fact of this IS NOT up for debate and conjecture.
It is AXIOMATIC, IRREFUTABLE and UNARGUABLE. Ipso bloody well Facto.

So, for the rest of this day, sod incoming emails and addressing them, I
am going to do what I WANT to do. And they can do with it what they
will, and who cares. When I get serious then I get dogmatically dead
serious; and no messing about.

That which I call the Mystical Gnosis is not then an experience AT ALL.
It is NOT the experience of the Transcendent Ground of BEING and it is
not about the dark journey to it through purgation and annihilation
transition process.  It is not about any of this and it is not about the
sum of it all. The Mystical gnosis is simply ONE THING, it is that which
one KNOWS and is Conscious of WHILE THERE!   And that is NOT an
experience at all.  It IS what one IS THERE and what one KNOWS and fully
Understands there. THAT IS ALL.  Gnosis means nothing else but that.  In
my use of the word that is. Others do not use that word for this
perennial UNDERSTANDING. This gnosis is not about us out here, it is not
about the world, it is not about life on earth, and it most emphatically
does NOT reveal a purpose or meaning to life and existence. NO WAY !  NO
WAY !!!

But this is ALL OLD HAT.   That event happened fifty years ago.  Even
the BIG one THE MYSTICAL UNION WITH THE ALL, happened thirty years ago.
And that one is way beyond the mystical gnosis.  Metagnosis.   It is
that one which reveals what life on earth is all about, and the purpose
of it all and reason for Eternity even existing.  Eternity is fulfilled
and resolved in TIME ON EARTH.   It is paradise fulfilled on earth. From
Eternity for this purpose I AM.  I have come to fulfil Paradise on the
Earth. KNOW YOUR SELF !!! Unless you know your SELF then know nothing
worth knowing!

But even that one, The Consummatum Incarnate is even OLD HAT now. 
Thirty years in the past and all digested and all done and dusted and
put to bed. And one moves on from there, as I have been trying to do for
the last thirty years.  And you do that, as you do all of it, on your
own.  So, truth is, I have as much interest in gnosis, and the mystical
reunion, AND the mystical union with THE ALL ( Consummatum Incarnate) as
I do in watching paint dry.  It has all be eaten and used. Done and
dusted, and one moves on to the next stage of being in the world.  I AM,
the being who lords it over paradise IS USELESS  - if it cannot get out.
IT DOES GET OUT !  Find out for why you are here. DON'T think it up, for
thinking WILL NOT reveal it. AS for ALL your religions THEY ARE ALL
RUBBISH !!!  UTTER RUBBISH !

I am happy enough to talk abut all these things if somebody is
interested in them and SERIOUS about it.  Otherwise NOT. And I aint here
to learn about gnosis or the result of in when synthesised and united
with the outside world thank you very much; for that lot is all done;
many years ago.  And I am not the least bit interested in anybody's
beliefs, religions, or opinions.  What IS – IS.  And life and
existence IS NOT relative to the observer. It all applies to all of us.
Ipso bloody well Facto ! And neither is life and existence a delusion to
be got rid of. They are mere sad miserable monkeys with type writers.

Live well, keep positive, and be true to yourself and do no harm to
others. For your SELF is a divine wonder. From Eternity for this Purpose
YOU ARE.  And life on earth IS GOOD and it is the most profound and
amazing part of all of it. Ipso!  Have a nice day.

[FairfieldLife] Spontaneous Actions?

2011-09-28 Thread rwr

Spontaneous Actions?

[ Have you ever done things, made decisions and just did it, without any
thought or care about the consequences of doing it Richard? ]

Yes. Many times, and throughout my whole life. And they have mostly
turned out to be fabulous and wonderful moments. BUT, I don't make a
habit of it :- )  I have only done it on the occasions where it was
plainly obvious that it could have no ill effects or sour repercussions.
In most cases I do weigh up all the possible repercussions which I can
envisage and then give thought to the action and whether best to do it
or not.

One very typical one was one day when my second wife and I were
VIRTUALLY living together and we were walking out of a pub one
lunchtime. I just had this instantaneous urge to go away with her for
four days alone. She had the following week off work anyway, and I could
easily postpone four days of driving lessons, for there were no tests to
attended to. So I said come on miss, let us go down to Cornwall for four
days and sod the lot of it:- )  She said yes and asked when. I said NOW,
come on, get in the car and we will go now; we can get a toothbrush on
the way and I can phone up and get somebody to postpone those lessons. 
She was up for it :- )  Wow, what a four days that was – never to be
forgot :- ) And the weather was fantastic too.  It seems like yesterday,
but it was a frigging long time ago now :- )) They are the moments which
wondrous memories are made of.  And they are with you unto the end of
time.

Indescribable moments, feelings, joy, love, passion, freedom, and
adventure for four uninterrupted solid days – and nights :- )
Fantastico divino, Aaah ! :- )

A Time for us.

[ Wow, that four days does sound fantastic. What can one say?  You are a
silly romantic : ))  ]

Yes, I told you from the very beginning that I was a silly romantic and
an idealist and a perfectionists and a pragmatist – and a happy
little sod.  NOTHING BUT THE BEST WILL DO :- )  All that means far far
more to me Than  ALL  the mystical experiences put together – and it
should do for you too and everybody else on earth. Grab and love the
day.

I learned something which is so very true and so very important at a
very young age (just on sixteen) and I was madly and insanely in love :-
)  That lesson was THERE IS A TIME FOR US !

Forget the world occasionally, forget all the wars, the history, forget
all the colds and toothaches, forget all your cares, forget the daily
news, forget all the heartaches and longings, forget all other people on
earth, forget all their religions and beliefs and opinions, forget the
lot of it occasionally – but for you and me there will be a time
slot which is our own, for ever more, just for you and me alone.  In all
these billions of years of stuff and activity there is a time put aside
just for you and me, my love. And we must live it with an explosion of
passion and joy. It happens and it is irrefutable, and it IS TRUE, my
love. And it will ALWAYS be true.  It always was true, it is true now,
and it will always be true. Learn of what is important and what IS, AS
IS.  Hell, I wasn't even a mystic then ! Tell your children these
things. Be positive; for it is so. And if any one of them ever turns out
to be the wisest person on earth then they will be like a child. Tell
them this.

As for myself I have never ever had any beliefs, no spiritual exercises,
no religion, no rituals, no teachers or guru's.  I found myself to be

[FairfieldLife] Language in Eternity?

2011-09-28 Thread rwr

Language in Eternity?

You say that this part of you, this being in the timeless eternity mode
of existence, could not think, could not talk, could not remember
anything, knew nothing of this world at all ?

That is correct.

But you say that toward the end of that experience a thought came to you
– I must now go?

It was actually YOU must now go. But otherwise correct yes.

Yet this came to you, it was not the you there that simply thought it?

That is correct, it seemed to be an objective communication. It came TO
me I did not think it up. I could not think there. It even took a while
to understand it – time began to move, even there.

But that language, that communication is words, language, and what is
more it is in English; something  from this world?

That is correct. And I speak and understand no other language. Not even
interested in them.

So from whence did it come then?

Obviously it came from a part of me – something OUT THERE – from
ITS point of reference.  The SOUL, or Subconscious which joins those two
dimensions. I have told you that all three of these dimensions are
joined up.

But do you actually know for sure that it came from there?

No, nothing actually reveals where it came from.  But where else could
it have come from. There isn't anywhere else. Some alien critter who
communicates in English and gate crashes eternity? :- ) Communication is
TWO WAY, not ONE-WAY. Up and down the vortex of Emanation.  Study
yourself, all three parts. There is nobody else in here. Just ME.

Re: Language in Eternity

[ Re: Language in Eternity?

Good morning Merlin -

This is an absolutely fascinating post; rich with thought provoking and
re-membering stuff. Two things come to mind:

1. EEers/EHEers of mystical and/or near death experiences often remark
that
they/ we intuit/ hear / Know communication in their native language,
e.g.,
English. Much of the time it is NOT a voice per se as much as a Knowing
which is
concept translated into our words--- prelanguage into language such as
we humans
do.

2. Do each of us humans have a Vortex of Emanation that are all (of us)
connected at the Ground of Being? Leon's theory is in here too. I Know
you have
addressed this before.

Thanks for this deep experiential post included below which makes me
re-call
my own Experience with words from a timeless place.

Love, SuZ ### ]

Thank Ker-Riced for an intelligent communication !

It seems to me SuZ that there are many things which make humans
different from other critters which we find here, not to mention an
opposing thumb and the ability of human type language for communication.
I get rather annoyed when I hear people calling us ANIMALS. Some animals
are a bloody sight better.

I use the term Vortex (Double Vortex actual) of Emanation, as opposed to
just Emanation simply because this Emanation of Energy and Consciousness
is WIDER at the TOP than it is at the bottom.  The deeper you go down
the less variety there is and the further you come up the more variety
there is – hence the multitude on the surface of life. Thus this
Emanation is like an upside-down pyramid structure.

If other human beings (and animals) do not have this then how the frig
did they get here?  Going home IS going back down that vortex of ones
emanation.  Yeah, those who have near death experiences have journeyed
down that vortex a little way. But not very far.

Back in the middle to late sixties and the seventies when I was doing
these bits with various organisations both the NDE lot and the Mystical
experience lot were at loggerheads with each other.  I told them both
that the silly bastards were both talking about the same thing; and I
told them to mention it at their next Mystics and Scientist conference
in the USA.  But did they?  Nahhh ! And they both wondered why I would
not go when invited !  One of them even offered to pay for me to go. Huh
! You might as well talk to a barn door mate. The only difference being
that the Mystics go all the way down to the bottom and NDE'ers DON'T.
They come back here before they get there. But it WAS on the same bloody
journey. GAWD they are thick !

To know your SELF you have to leave this world behind. To know this
world you must first leave it behind.  They never learn do they. I gave
up talking to NDE'ers bloody years ago. Waste of time. If one were NOT
connected to the life force in the Ground of Being then they would not
be alive and conscious :- )

As for that communication in the Ground of Being (you must now be going)
then it was not verbal, no sounds, no voice. That place is utter perfect
SILENCE. There are no people there. But it was still a communication,
and one GOT the message, and the understanding gradually came.  As for
intuition then ALL tuition and learning is done IN HERE, not OUT THERE.
Consciousness does not dwell OUT THERE, it dwells IN HERE. All
experience happens IN HERE, even if it is experience of OUT THERE. We
cannot get OUT THERE, we are IN HERE stuff.  It is impossible to know
what is OUT THERE other than by ones sensory communication with it. And
throughout our individual evolution in the becoming process then the
senses are enhanced and opened up to more – like a wider radar
screen. Hence becoming aware of more and more. This is a fascinating
question – where could all that end? Well, if ever we get there then
we will know :- )  But  there sure is a long way for homo sapiens to go.

Also keep in mind that the Ground of Being (the place and space there)
is OUT THERE from the reference point of the Observer, the SELF. I AM
NOT THAT PLACE. I AM that consciousness and being that dwells there. It
is a DUALITY, I and IT. That is how consciousness is constructed, as a
perceiver of duality. It is consciousness and personal life which
segregates us from the ALL. If it didn't then there would be no ME and
no consciousness and no life, no existence, no observer of anything.  Do
religions tell you of these things which we live through and find?  Does
Science?   NO NO NO !  LIFE does it.   HUH, you were ONLY one that
answered that email :- )  It doesn't surprise me in the least. Oh, by
the way, I put your EHE paper about potentiation and becoming on the
Dharma-Gnosis group archives.  I wonder if any of the gnostics will read
it ;- ) I doubt it.

 Such a belief would only be entertained by someone who cannot comprehend that 
 the purifying effect of Brahmananda Saraswati went far beyond his physical 
 presence. A sleep walker like you is unable to understand such a thing. 
 Maharishi absolutely spent years in deep silence as a result of the presence 
 of Guru Dev. During his career, he was precisely correct in offering all that 
 he accomplished to Guru Dev.


Well said !

And everything he accomplished he offered at the lotus feet of Guru Dev because 
Guru Dev and the Devi both made it possible to do everything he did.



[FairfieldLife] Quotes on Protest

2011-09-28 Thread Denise Evans
Protest was the topic of this month's Sunbeamquotes from Sun Magazine 
(http://www.thesunmagazine.org/).  In solidarity with the Wall Street 
protesters, I have typed out these contributions.


So exiled have even basic questions of freedom become from the political 
vocabulary that they sound musty and ridiculous, and vulnerable to the ultimate 
badge of shame — That's so sixties! — the entire decade having been mocked so 
effectively that social protest seems outlandish and so last-century, just 
another style excess like love beads and Nehru jackets.
~Laura Kipnis

We who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension.  We 
merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. 
~ Martin Luther King

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must 
never be a time when we fail to protest. 
~Elie Wiesel

Around the time my mother taught me how to tie my shoes, she also taught me 
how to protest.  Her rules were simple: look respectable, act respectable, and 
don't give the opposition any ammunition.  Together we buttoned those top 
buttons and combed our hair for peace, civil rights, the ERA.  You name it, we 
marched for it.  In sensible shoes.
~Julia King

WHAT DO WE WANT?! Respectful discourse  WHEN DO WE WANT IT?! Now would be 
agreeable to me, but I am interested in your opinion. 
~ Message on a protest sign

The question is not Can you make a difference?  You already do make a 
difference.  It's just a matter of what kind of difference you want to make 
during your life on this planet.
~Julia Butterfly Hill

Find your place on the planet, dig in, and take responsibility from there.
~Gary Snyder

I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. 
 I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.
~Martin Sheen

Idealists...foolish enough to throw caution to the winds...have advanced 
mankind and enriched the world.
~Emma Goldman

It takes six simpletons and one zealot to start a movement.
~Anzia Yezierska

Activism is my rent for living on this planet.
~Alice Walker

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get 
better.  It's not.

~Dr. Seuss

Nobody can give you freedom.  Nobody can give you equality or justice or 
anything.  If you're a man, you take it.
~Malcolm X

So often we think we have got to make a difference and be a big dog.  Let us 
just try to be little fleas biting.  Enough fleas biting strategically can make

sit under a tree in the sunshine, with not a care in the world, and to
watch the world around you and listen to the kids laughing.  They said

right; but the activities have to be kept separate in the space/time continuum 
(the Domes are for butt-bouncing, not other activities, so they say).
 Other factors would be a. truthfulness in statements, b. possible violations 
of criminal laws, c. blatant moral transgressions d. predatory practices among 
Gurus designed to enhance the joys of life in their arena, but at the 
long-term expense of others.

about me. Born into a family that loved you and cared about you and did
their best for you.  I would like to get a reasonably good education as
a child (which I never had in the slums of London during the war) and to
be encouraged to bring out of me whatever was the best in there; and to
wave the rest.  I would want to meet a fair damsel in the glen and
settle down and produce ten kids. I would like to be born a bit smarter
than I was born, and not in quite so much poverty and dark times and
hardship. For me, all that would be PERFECTION.  That is all.  But I am
sure that I would do the same then as I did this time, to give it MY

That aint my ball park.  If you DO NOT live for something other than you

do not think about it at all, and I do not give a hoot either way. What

[FairfieldLife] Barcelona-Netherlands

2011-09-28 Thread turquoiseb
The contrast was amazing. It's all about the light IMO.

Flying back today, I discovered that (rarely) the temp-
erature in both places was the same. But the way that
people were dressed, and the way they carried themselves,
was totally different. 

In Barcelona, for example, I got to rediscover that women
have legs. I had begun to wonder, living in Holland. Short
skirts or shorts everywhere. Very entertaining. So much so
that today, on the way back from Schiphol airport to my 
home, I made a point of counting the number of pairs of 
bare female legs -- as opposed to those covered by tights, 
leggings, jeans, or other forms of clothing -- I saw along
the way. I got as high as 2. Same temperature. Different 
relationship to warmth, and to light. 

The light in Spain makes people aware of their bodies,
and that they inhabit them. Most celebrate this awareness.
Here, they tend to want to cover it up. 

Personally, given that the church Calvin used to teach
in here in the Netherlands is now surrounded on all sides
by Amsterdam's red light district, and thus by scantily-clad
women in windows, I hope the sucker is tossing and turning
in his grave, unable to find rest. He really messed up the
sensibilities of this country in terms of what should be
considered proper attire on a day like this and what 
should not.

And, when you think of it, the Spanish had to deal with
the Spanish Inquisition, and *their* ideas of what is 
proper and what is not. They got over it. Holland still
IMO has never quite gotten over Calvin. His spiritual
teaching was the antithesis of light.

lambasted the mainstream media for lack of coverage and talked about how 
important these protests are.  At one point he said to the extent, the 
American people are tired of being screwed by Wall Street and they want 
blood, the banker's blood.  You can see the rhetoric is heating up an 
we may well see an American Fall.   This weekend there will be 
protests in the financial district in San Francisco though there was 
also one two weeks about when the Occupy Wall Street protest started

[FairfieldLife] Pan Am

2011-09-28 Thread Bhairitu
This is the new series on ABC that I recorded Sunday night and finally 
took a look at it last night.  If they can keep up the pace I'll keep 
watching as a guilty pleasure.  For one thing this series set in the 
early sixties and about some Pan Am flight attendants doesn't take 
itself seriously and is mainly a light comedy.  It isn't Mad Men by 
any means but probably the right mix for light broadcast entertainment.  
Christina Ricci has the top billing but didn't do that much in the pilot 
episode.  Kelli Garner had most of the main character scenes.  I've been 
aware of her every since I saw her in London with Jessica Beale and 
Jason Stratum (with hair for a change).  Not only is she cute as a 
button but has excellent comedic sense so I'm glad someone finally has 
given her a roll she can really did into.

Like I say this series does not take itself serious ly and I was 
cracking up at the end when the flight attendants walk out the walkway 
doing dance steps to get on the plane.  I you know flight attendants 
like I have they actually did silly little thing like that back in the 
day as a joke.  And for dramatic relief they have some Cold War stuff 
going on too.

The two that worked looked good and I hope you get the others working.

I grew up in farm country, southeastern Washington which is not so 
different from the mid-west except the Bible thumpers were considered 
the town wackos.  I've seen those old steam tractors in the local 
museums, county fairs, parades and rusting away in farm fields.  I have 
pictures of my great grandfather's wheat harvest where they used them.

You may want to be aware that David Lynch makes movies that are *fiction*, and 
when a *fiction* movie is made, anybody can play any of the parts, or be cast 
as any of the characters, because it is *fiction*. However, since the story you 
have of your life Turq, is *fiction*, perhaps that makes it really difficult

My solution would be global socialism but a not in your face kind.  
Streamlined and supportive of the world populace instead of just a few.  
Also don't bother with socialism running small business and let people 
who want to be their own bosses do that.  Get rid of middle men, they 
are fine when there is slack but we can no longer afford them.  Look at 
models like Trader Joe's where they don't have any middle men and sell 
their own products.  Even at my local grocery the house products are 
cheaper and often just as good as the big name brands.

[Re: Free Will v Human Nature?



There is no such thing as THE human nature.



BUT, wouldn't you agree that there are human tendencies?

It isn't so much a  question of as to whether there is or isn't
a vast range of potential, and existing, human tendencies, abilities,
potentials and capacities, for it is obvious that there IS; and many of
which are shared to this or that degree,  it is more a question of as to
if any of them are permanent and unchanging. Modern man looks quite a
bit like homo species which went before it, but they are not the same
are they. Is there a STUCK, never to be changed, Human Nature???  I
doubt if we will ever walk upside down on clouds. I doubt if we will
ever drink water through our ears. But fine, let us talk about these
human tendencies, and have you ever seen two identical human beings? And
do we want to be Borg Clones in a collective ? Would you like to be the
same as somebody else?  I would end it all and let them do it :- )))
Also, I am certainly NOT implying that freedom of choice in  some of our
actions ALTERS Homo as a species, but it sure can alter oneself slightly
even during one lifetime. And we do pass stuff on genetically don't
we. Tis called evolution of Incarnation.  That means change.

 Buck made the point of saying that he hoped that the

 I merely posted a clip showing how thoroughly that the

[FairfieldLife] A Better question than Oblivion

2011-09-28 Thread rwr

A Better question than Oblivion



[ Did you ever wonder what goes on during that oblivion inbetween
annihilation and that resurrection back into the primordial Ground of
Being Richard? ]



Yes of course I have, many times, fifty years ago. But some of what goes
on is obvious, but we will come back to that in a mo.  But first there
is a better question than what goes on during that oblivion of
consciousness, and that question is as to WHAT is happening to the body
and the brain while the owner is away during that whole paradisiacal
timeless reunion event. I was a way for three hours – so what was
going on with the body and brain? For me there was not only no world but
while there I knew nothing about worlds or time or ever having existed
in it. I was just lording over paradise mate :- )



Had somebody have come into the room  during that three hours then I
guess it would have looked as though I was asleep with my eyes open, or
in a coma maybe :- )  But there was only a cat there. But plainly the
body was breathing for that three hours because it was fine when I got
back :- ) But what was going on INSIDE?



I have to smile when watching a computer close down when there are files
uploading – don't pull the plug out because files are being
uploaded: uploading nine of ten :- )



After transcendence one is NOT the same again. Stuff is added, Senses
are honed up. One has MORE than there was when one left. Mysterious
innit.  Science doesn't tell them this; religions doesn't tell
them this?  They don't tell them fuck all mate.  That is why they
call it mysticism mate :- )  However, back to the oblivion bit.



First; When consciousness is totally switched off, gone, dead as a
parrot,  aint there no more, then ten seconds would be the same as ten
million years. Time and space is not applicable where there is no
consciousness. True, in the paradise bit there IS time, but it don't
move and there is no change there in the Ground of Being. Tis
everlasting eternal bliss and love mate :- )



So one cannot KNOW (experientially) what goes on during that moment of
Oblivion prior to the resurrection of consciousness back into our
primordial state of being. But imagine this – of you dare –
During the journey to it (the dark journey through the vortex of our
emanation, or the soul – crossing the river Styx) that is a process
of purgation; stuff being stripped away from us (the world is the first
thing to go by the way). Now, the last conscious thing one is aware of
is being Annihilated (not a particularly nice experience but never
mind).  Some call it death mate. But not I.  However, imagine being
conscious while all temporality is being ripped away from you? Not quite
the same as having a tooth yanked out. But all time, all memory, all
personality, ALL RIPPED AWAY from you?  Would you like to be
consciousness during that?  Annihilation is a wonderful and clever thing
amigo. I am glad I was not conscious of that bit :- )  But, but but,
what is going on IN the body during all that.  Mystics have thus far
only been concerned with what they experience while away - - I AINT !  I
am interested in Man Incarnate, for that is THE BEST BIT. Primordial
consciousness cannot do fuck all until it is released to out here on
earth. IPSO. They can keep heaven and eternity, I like Time, the
physical bits and being able to do things – FREEDOM from Paradise !
The best thing that ever happened to me was getting the boot from
Paradise – nice though it is. Chew the bones out of it, it has fuck
all to do with religions – they don't know any of this. Neither
does science, neither does Psychology and neither do bloody guru's
lying fuck faces mate.



And the day that the last bishop chokes to death on the intestines of
the last capitalist will be a good day for life on earth.  A great
Wonder is Man and LIFE.  I AM ever tied to the cross of Time and
Eternity.  (X)  And I AM the meeting ground of inner and outer
dimensions. Ipso.
