A new meaning to an old phrase |
When you say "I think - therefore I am"
This in general means that if you do think then you exist.
When I first came upon this phrase I thought it meant
"I think I am a five year old boy called Peter. Therefore I am a five year
old boy called Peter"
"I think I am Krishna. Therefore I am Krishna"
"I think I am a little white bird. Therefore I am a little white bird"
The experiences I had were astonishing (to coin a word from Milan)
The actual thinking, thought processes, memories of existence, humour,
personality, character, and a myriad other things were totally different in
each case.
I do all this kind of thing under guidance from The Masters of course.
God is an interesting one - but there are different kinds of Gods you can
be.
God is like the basic version.
But you can be:-
The girl God.
The God called Peter.
The kind God.
The God who has no knowing.
The invisible God
The possibilities are endless - from a snowflake to one of my favourites
which is the Borg Queen.
You can't have the Borg Queen - I have bagged her - and I have bagged God
and Krishna.
I have never been tempted to try Brian or Clot - but Warrior of the Universe
is great - and I wore black and strode around with complete confidence for
several days and was taller than the local chemist who must be six feet
tall. Ruler of the Universe you will find is female - but Master of the
Universe is male.
One of the best really, categorically and emphatically is Borg
Try calling yourself something and then "I think therefore I am" and become
that someone.
Do not listen to people like Michael Gordge who call you "f******* commie
c***"
Try calling yourself sweetie pie and BECOME a sweetie pie.
It is extraordinary how nice you become when you are a sweetie pie.

I dont recall ever recommending Catcher in the Rye to you. But it's a great
book. All Salinger's stuff is first class. Hope you enjoy it.

I think there are, truly, some people who can change the words in their
heads - that they are conscious of - and have radical experiences.
They often seem flighty to me and not so deep, but I have come to see
that they really can do this. Many other people actually notice that
changing the words - that they are conscious of - does not touch all
portions of themselves. There is magic, but it takes more time, these
days at least. I really hope the first group of people notices that 1)
they are not reaching parts of the emotional body and 2) that those who
are more in contact with their emotional bodies have something very
valuable to offer, though perhaps nto the same thing as the more
angelic tip of the iceberg people. Cause up to now this angelic group
has at best looked down other the others and subtly implied that they
had an attitude problem. Which was a shallow interpretation. And it
has kept the splits in place.
But maybe that was their intention.

New?
Since I am only a story I can be any story. This
follows directly from exhaustion of the Self.
---
No essence. No permanence. No perfection.

That particular story (personification) has been with us for so long, it seems
to be bred in. Bred in and produced by genetics and development,
to varying degrees. In my case my personhood story is relatively
weak as a touch of autism (Asperger's syndrome) can do that.
That particular story (personification) has been with us for so long, it seems
buttressed by hubris.

Personification is such a practiced story, including self personification.

Ever the unkind.
Ever the discouraging.
Always quick to criticize.
Always quick to demean and to make others feel inferior.
You did not learn much from your self personification then?

That's just silly.
Also, I think therefor I am... means something else entirely.
It's an answer to the question "Do I exist".
How can you prove that you exist?
Well, to even think, requires a thinker. Therefore, to doubt your own
existance proves that you do exist. In fact to think anything proves
that you exist. If you think of blue cheese, then you exist.
It doesn't mean you ARE what you think.
That's just nonsense and has never been true. It just means you are,
something.
