I think I’m starting to understand why a vow of silence would be appealing…

yes, that`s true. the energy arrangement that we semanically agree to be known as dna is, or certainly appears to be, an encoding device that not only emerges and resolves it`s self into a new living human as the result of the union between a man and a woman, or the frantic stirring of genetic donations in lab, it seems also to be a way to transfer conscious awareness from one generation to the next. it`s a particularly poor way to do it in that the user interface really sucks and the user files seem to be, if not corrupted, edited in perverse ways.
i realise that the above is another string of words, but, the fact remains that some esoteric stuff is going on in this experiential environment.
and st.thomas noticed some strange shit going on and was left with nothing but hollow words to try to convey his awe. we haven`t come much further since, but we are game to try.

considering that we are made of dna, encoded with trillions of bits of information i would tend to think that we know just about everything.

But DNA is just another word….

the madmen stumble upon the truth and it knocks them out of the cultural paradigm so sharply that many never return, forever rambling about lights in the sky and messages for the world, not realising that the message is personal. each person must wait for thier own download and when it comes they will be confused too.

“Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.” - Gospel of Thomas

religion isn`t a repository of knowledge though, it is an inventory of gamerules. the knowledge is held in spiritual teachings, the ravings of madmen and the stories of power like casteneda or crowley or ouspensky. it is inside too and the nervous system will give up it`s secrets once the conscious mind calms it`s intelectual inventorying a little.

Tim, this is a great post! There’d probably be more comments, except, you pretty much covered it! So the only comments possible are rah-rah ones like this! Exclamation Point!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I don’t know as much as I think I know.

I think you’ll find almost no one does; it’s just that the majority of them haven’t realised it and admitted it yet (to themselves or others).
