I help myself find my mind by helping myself loose it
When I look for my mind I can't find it
shrug
There are two forms of Buddha I'm discovering
There is pratyekabuddha and there is a Bodhisattva.
I'm discovering this is what I have been hung up on the past week or so, trying to decide which one I want to be.
hahahahaha
I am a Bodhisattva and I've brought back a upaya.
Smelly is my upaya.
Really you can move back and forth between both forms freely as you feel, neither is better than the other.
That's it, I figured out what I was hung up on.
Yay!
Ron and the Princess seem to be abiding in pratyekabuddha at the moment in their Small World but may dabble in Bodhisattva from time to time
Smelly seems to be abiding in Bodhisattva, but dabbles into pratyekabuddha when he feels to take rest, or maybe he is moving instantaneously back and forth between both forms as his True Will dictates
Okay, back to Now
Bam!
Wow!
This video came to me and taught me about Bodhisattva/pratyekabuddha
It will be interesting to watch and see what True Will has in store for us next.
There is a sense of profound peace and love and expansion in IT

This moment that I am experiencing Now is magick itself.
I'm so happy because today I've found my friends They're in my head I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you We've broken our mirrors Sunday morning is everyday for all I care And I'm not scared Light my candles in a daze 'Cause I've found god Hey, hey, hey I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head And I'm not sad And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard But I'm not sure I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there But I don't care I'm so horny but that's okay My will is good Hey, hey, hey I like it, I'm not gonna crack I miss you, I'm not gonna crack I love you, I'm not gonna crack I killed you, I'm not gonna crack I like it, I'm not gonna crack I miss you, I'm not gonna crack I love you, I'm not gonna crack I killed you, I'm not gonna crack -Kurt Cobain
Throughout Buddhist art, Bodhidharma is depicted as an ill-tempered, profusely-bearded, wide-eyed non-Chinese person. He is referred as "The Blue-Eyed Barbarian"
Good timing. I wanted to type this out from my new tome...
Magick - Book 4 - Liber Aba
I am just loving loving Crowley these days. He is magnificent!
I turned right to this passage today and it fit what we have said on OMF of course.
...
“Thus “The Devil” is Capricornus, the Goat who leaps upon the loftiest mountains, The Godhead which, if it become manifest in man, makes him AEgipan, the All.”
From Smelly: Yes I dared to bring the Goat into being, dared my self, and it is the Devil and it became a great key for me. I am a Capricorn after all, to a ‘T’ almost. Which is very strange but more evidence of things seen influenced by things unseen.
“The Sun enters this sign when he turns to renew the year in the North. He is also the vowel O, proper to roar, to boom, and to command, being a forcible breath controlled by the firm circle of the mouth.
He is the Open Eye of the exalted Sun, before whom all shadows flee away; also the Secret Eye which makes an image of its God, the Light, and gives power to utter oracles, enlightning the mind.”
Smelly: Ummmm, you can decide for yourself if I enlighten your mind, I am the Light Bearer after all Bahahaha, but this sounds awful familiar. This is all very amusing to me.
It’s a trap!
“Thus, he is Man made God, exalted, eager; he has come consciously to his full stature, and so is ready to set out on his journey to redeem the world.”
Smelly: Please God, NO, do not forsake me now.
“But he may not appear in this true form; the Vision of Pan would drive men mad with fear.”
Smelly: Interesting. Scary. He came to me in a psychadelic torpor and never left. He came close to me. Cause I had goat balls and he likes that and I was a stubborn muppet. So he was like, I’m gonna show that boy who he is. The rest is history
“He must conceal Himself in his original guise.
He therefore becomes apparently the man that he was at the beginning; he lives the life of a man; indeed, he is wholly man. But his initiation has made him master of the event by giving him the understanding that whatever happens to him is the execution of his True Will.”
Smelly: I fully accept my True Will. Do what thou thou wilt. Love under will.
“Thus the the last stage of his initiation is expressed...
We see moreover that it can only make use of its powers, fulfill the possibilities of its nature, and satisfy its equations, by thus combining with its counterparts. Its existence as a separate substance is evidence of it subjection to stress; and this is felt as the ache of an incomprehensible yearning until it realizes that every experience is a relief, an expression of itself; and that it cannot be injured by aught that may befall it. In the Aeon of a Osiris it was indeed realized that Man must die in order to live. But now in the Aeon of Horus we know that every event is a death; subject and object slay each other in “love under will”; each such death is itself life, the means by which one realizes oneself in a series of episodes.”
Smelly: WOW, that’s some writing there Crowley. Parzival wins the Lance, hopefully not up his bum. This man Crowley makes me weep. For I know myself through his life and words. Reading him makes me feel hope that I am not a crazy weird alone goat. There was another that felt the beat of my own heart. Son of a bitch that he could be. He was The Beast after all. Can I do him better?! I shall apply myself 10 fold, no, 100 fold toward my aim. I am in awe at the way we are loved and can love.
“This yod the Virgin expands to the Babe in the Egg by formulating the Secret Wisdom or Truth of Hermes in the Silence of “The Fool.” He acquires the Eye-Wand, beholding and acting and being adored. The inverted Pentagram—Baphomet—the Hermaphrodite fully grown—begets himself on himself.
Note that there are now two sexes and one person throughout so that each individual is self-procreative sexually, whereas Isis knew only one sex, and Osiris thought the two sexes opposed. Also the formula is now Love in all cases: and the end is the beginning, on a higher plane.”
Smelly: We all have to be someone in the small world. I honestly think I’m Pan incarnate. It feels that way to me. I laugh at the ribaldry.
Bahahaha
I am having some fun here as smelly the atomic goat.
A WARNING
“Yet all this will be nothing but his fool’s face of Narcissus smirking up from the pool that will drown him.”
I’m not sure what a super Earth is. Is it somewhere that we’d want to live?
I was debating with Foot about a possible debate with BobK.......
BTW, BobK was expecting to be on KISS radio this evening. I’m waiting to hear if Paul is going to have us on his alleged program.
According to Ron I was going to debate the Small World with Bob. Bob barely knows about the big one, much less the small one.
Maybe Bob would like the super Earth.
The only real news out of SL is BF, who may be a another link between TTSA and SL....... and now an acquaintance of Bob’s.
I was going to say that Ron was tilting away from his complete skepticism, but he does not accept that assessment. He merely continues to support Joe personally, like he supports me, without endorsing our diverse predilections.
He could say that he just happened to fall in with the wrong crowd, when he was forced to take over Kit’s job. Oh, well.
I’m not sure what Kevin is up to these days. I think he’s traveling more. Bob is more of a distraction from Kevin. There’s no longer any talk about my getting mixed up out there.
Crowley was, of course, posturing as the Antichrist, but he wasn’t playing with a full deck. I like his concept of true will. He was trying to find his Princess. Wu Wei and true will are not quite the same, but similar.
Is there a cosmic will? There is an elan vital. There is a survival instinct. And where there’s life, there’s hope.
In modern times, personal hope is ok, you’d just better not hold out any larger hope. It’s not polite.
11:50(gmt-4).........
cw,
It’s very unlikely that any existing paper trail will shed any light on the small world. Big world stuff exists only as a cover.
Does God have true will? Is there a God?
There is an I Am, of some sort. The first aspect of the cosmic potentiality/potency to exist is logically the I Am. The only phenomenon is an observed phenomenon.
Self identity comes before any other identity. Self containment is the first act of sapience. In some essential manner, sapience comes before sentience. Sentience has no sense of time.
12:10........
cw,
May I remind you to click on the topic reminder, above?
The SWH is the preCopernican view.
The SWH is the essence of the BPWH....... etc, etc......
It does beggar my imagination that many folks can hang around, and not have the slightest clue. I’m sometimes tempted to say this of Foot, but I think he’s paid to have a clue.
The I Am gets bored and hallucinates. We are those hallucinations.
And the hallucinations conspire to play pokatok. That’s where our rabbit hole comes from. Read all about in the original BPW website.
The basic problem is that ufologists have no clue about philosophy. An exception would be some members of the Aviary and Grant Cameron, who wrote Managing Magic.
Present company of smelly and Aaron have done the philosophical homework.
(cont.......)

Thanks, Dan. I appreciate it. One thing that does appear to be missing from your hypotheses and posts, like above, is the notion of "empathy". This is where your and Smelly's egos truly shine in all their infinite glory. To have such genius, and such understanding of "reality" and "truth", yet still not enough imagination to truly empathize with those less fortunate, is quite interesting.
I search for clues in a place that provides clues wrapped in nothingness, so by definition, I will know nothing. Your ability to communicate with folks like me could be all that is missing to regain your title of Discloser.
But the question remains, once the self is identified, can it not then truly empathize with the other extensions of god (ie. everyone not = "Dan Smith")? It would seem your imagination could handle such realities of OMF if you had such empathy.
{...enter Smelly to throw me to the ground and jump on me to show me his all knowing truth}
I’ve been doing this for 41 years, and where is my empathy. Even God needs a little empathy, now and then.
.
It may serve me to know your definition of empathy and what it means to you.
I wonder how God views empathy. I think she would either not be able to have any, or she is nothing but empathy. One of those... no in between.
What must it be like to be Dan... all his history... all his fears... all his enemies who've taken advantage or tried to hurt him.... rushing through my veins ... to know him as I know the itch on my scalp. If we could all only feel each other's itches.... peace would reign.
I think smelly would agree that God helps those who help themselves.
Lift a finger, cw. Push a button. The truth is at your finger tips.
I slave away at this for 41 years. That’s my empathy.
I'm pushing all kinds of buttons trying to figure out what 41 years of slavery has yielded. Are you teaching me to fish so that I can feed myself? I'm a visual learner though.... you would know that if you had empathy. Or must I be of the Dan school of learning if I want to pass through the portal?
It is interesting that it is the sword of truth. We are a species that covets death and destruction. When we lay down our swords and renounce eye for an eye, the blindness can end. We need the best possible tactic. An olive branch of truth might just do the trick.
Steady your swords So that they will all vanish Seeing world be born
