   the obivous problem that you often will encounter in your lines of approach tim would be minds that are always looking to form some type of iron-clad one-to-one-only-correspondence:

   ‘if ‘a’ paradigm produces ‘b’ outcomes, then ‘a’ paradigm must always be the ‘right’ paradigm to use and invoke….’

   my own personal researching and searching into the esoteric arts reveals that all paradigms are open-systems, meaning that on any occasion, christ and buddha and the dark lord lucifer and archons and joan of arc and all deities of the higher orderings can be invoked, reached, summoned, and effectively used. however, the lesser mind that wants to sit around and pontificate about mere ‘theories’ that has limiting and limited applications to creating any desired system of ‘realities’ are always going to sit around and aruge pointless arguements instead of contributing to paradigms that can be even exchanged among creative and creative minds.

   in other words - elements of fundamental christianity needs to be smashed open to retrieve the essence core elements that can be hacked into systems of gnosism, buddhism, qalalahism, conspiracy theories, quantum physics, tantric fuck magick, goth literature and musick, sixties psychedelicism, cold war paranoia, and the current viral meme engineer that all points to a larger path that reaches into the compressing vortexical spiral that consumes and creates the veils of maya….

   the bickerings and anal postulations about ‘reality’ seems to be eager to ignore the ‘reality’, and has me personally questioning those investing inordinately large amounts of efforts and energies to be pissed off because another individual questions some aspect of ‘reality’. does this truly represents the denial and the fear that many are willing to uphold because, in hiding behind their mere words, are they not concealing themselves from the ‘ultimate truths’ ?

   your approach works well with me tim, because your approach doesn’t seek some type of iron-clad answer that can easily become regurgitated into tasteless, bland, textureless dogma to be reduced into sound bites and rice-crispy squares of illusions to further complicate the matter at hand. it would appear that a concept such as gnosism was never meant to be a ’system’ but more of a dynamic and living entity invoked to create a power ritual that becomes approached as uniquely as each individual themselves are. but when the concept becomes frozen inside of rhetoric and bickering-heads, then that concept needs to be smashed and healed from the outside in.

   in other words, what tim does represents what tim has experienced and continues to experience. what he brings to anyone’s attention span and mind-sets would be the breath towards energising aspects and realms that have fallen into a state of rhetorical numbness. keeping the dimensions alive, keeping the realms charged, keeping the waters true means to always throw the situations into a constant state of dynamic tensions that creates sharp colours and eager angles that cuts at the distractions of rhetoric, denial, fear, and finally, ignorance.

   because on the other side of those shifting veils of maya, exists a kingdom that has no need to adhere to any law other than the law of of eternity that remains at once, available to all and hidden to all.

   keep the lines going tim. i, for one, feel gratefully for being led to your unique website.

   Wow, that’s a really great summary of what I’m trying to do. Thanks so much!

   Tim,

   You’re only supposed to sacrifice their sacred cows, not ours.

   Although, when you think about it, steak is steak.

   Speaking of picking things apart, I realized today that conspiracy theory is a method of skepticism that eventually self-destructs.

   I’ve always been skeptical of the official 9/11 story, of the JFK narrative, and everything in between. Conspiracy theory was a pathway for me to disbelieve the propaganda and find alternative stories to explain events. But now I find it hard to believe in conspiracy theories either. I was instantly skeptical of the “photoshopped bomber” image because I’m skeptical of everything. Of course I don’t dismiss out of hand either.

   So as self training in de-programming, I’d say conspiracy theory worked pretty well for me.

   I applaud your willingness to inquire; however, I think sometimes you should look a little more deeply into topics before you write about them.

   I think sometimes you should look a little more deeply into topics before you write about them.

   All I want is to inspire people to do their own research and to decide for themselves. They don’t have to agree with me. They don’t have to think I’m doing a good job. I do hope however they feel passionate enough to go out and find out on their own why I’m right, or why I’m wrong and what it is I’m missing.

    i disagree deeply with twistedchick’s assertion ‘i think sometimes you should look a little more deeply into topics before you write about them’. her thought pattern betrays the usual mind that has shaken the shackles from that bastion of mind-kill, public school.

    no amount of research per se can ever reveal an ‘absolute truth’. true research comes from questioning every ‘answer’ that has been given to a particular mind-set from another mind set possessing obvious alternative agendas. public school systems do not teach critical thinking, nor does public school systems encourage dissent thinking. what public school systems encourages would be a type of bee-hive mentality that believes in ‘..just say no to drugs’ and abstaining from any type of sensual relationships until marriage. in short order - public school systems teaches conformity, nothing more and nothing less.

    therefore, what tim offers on his website are the questions that we are given to use to create our own personal and evolving paradigms of reality. that requires more than gathering ‘facts’ but gather the personal information that inspires us to remain awake behind the wheel, instead of believing what fox news and cnn and the mainstream network news pours into our minds daily.

    regurgitating what others have ‘researched’ blindly and faithfully doesn’t make that individual brilliant nor intelligent. tech-heads always spouting off facts and figures never impressed me. because these ‘experts’ can never climb from the noise of their mental machines long enough to realise that the universe and reality doesn’t choose to obey any so-called ‘theories’ and ‘laws’ of nature. we are nature by pure default, and as nature, we create and we determine as we continue to go along and move towards a point of no-return: our marriage into remembering that we are not separate from the entire paradigms of nature but are connected endlessly to the entire paradigms of nature.

    only the fearful and foolish would wander aimless into the matrix-hive of facts and figures ‘verifying’ an iron-clad reality.

    Well, if I’m included in this, somebody had to step up to the plate and play devil’s advocate for Wilber (since nobody else seemed to be doing the job).

    I seriously dig the blog though.

    Hey, Nicq. I don’t really include you in this, because I thought you kept your comments topical and useful. I’m more trying to address a recurring problem that I encounter a lot and figuring out how best to deal with it.

    Oh man do I disagree with twistedchick’s advice that one not write what they do not know about.

    Rule one in any creative writing class is to expose yourself (ie your writing) to that which you have never experienced. To write is to explore. And since, I myself have already explored the realms of the profane, I won’t just now, tell you to “fuck off”. ; )

    Writing is a very deep salve. We are very lucky Tim is brave enough to share his energy this way.

    sometimes you should look a little more deeply into topics before you write about them

    If people held off writing about stuff until they knew more about it, it would be the end of weblogging.
