Who's Disclosure is Disclosure?

Sun Apr 14, 2019 2:16 am by Cyrellys

The narrative war is in full swing. When there's a 100 different competing narratives, how is it possible to discern a disclosure?

Is it akin to which truth is Truth?

    If you refuse to play the games of your masters, they will put you to death.

    The hippies played their own games, Tiny Tim.

    I like where they were headed.

    Meta game programming.

    The meta game of becoming wise is a fun game.

    The game of goats is fun.

    But that’s all they are.

    Dan’s eschaton game is boooring.

    Princess and hive portal game sounds more fun.

    My game is my favorite though.

    If I had no compassion, I’d be silent and inactive. Wisdom only grows from the ground of compassion.

    One muppets compassion is another’s poison.

    More cow bell please.

    Eric, 

    I think we have enough confusion in the world, already.  

    Let’s see if you can stop being the class clown/bully for just one minute while we attempt to sort ourselves out......


    Aaron,

    I’m going out......

    Could you please try tamp down Eric’s mania.  I will try to call him later....

    Lol

    I'll help Dan only if you pay me.

    But I only accept girly giggles as payment. 

    You have to giggle like a girl.

    Truth is not the ultimate criteria.

    Dan suffers from an addiction to truth.

    That’s a throwback to the age of righteousness.

    That stinks bad to the smelly goat.

    The irrational now leads, you are in my world after all, irrational numbers are uncountably infinite.

    What is Truth?

    The rational is an island in the ocean of the irrational.

    Will, which is Magick, is my only witness.

    You aren’t cleared for this yet muppet Wink

    It turns out, self belief has the greatest power. We have given our power away in all these games.

    Now the wolves approach for the kill.

    Owen Barfield sure has a lot of nothing to say.

    Letting go of all concepts and understanding is the beginning of wisdom.....I think maybe

    There is a story about Confucius, who one day met Laozi, a great Chinese philosopher. Laozi said, “Sir, what is your system?” And Confucius said, “It is charity, love of one’s neighbor, and elimination of self interest.”

    Laozi said, “Stuff and nonsense. Your elimination of self is a positive manifestation of Self. Look at the Universe. The stars keep their order, the trees and plants grow upward without exception, the waters flow, be like this. All your nonsense about elimination of Self is like beating a drum in search of a fugitive.”

    When the police arrive on the first floor, the thieves have gone up to the second. And so to the third, and finally up to the roof. So when the ego is about to be unmasked, it immediately identifies with the higher self. It goes up a level.

    You cannot one up the ego. The best you can do is Wu Wei, but you are already doing that all the time anyway, so all there is left to do is laugh and dance and let your freak flag fly.

    Swing this thing and go out with a bang, not a whimper.



    Something magical has happened on OMF and I hope you beautiful people can see it.

    I hope you muppets can see that the word muppet is a term of endearment.

    Smelly Goat has dropped some big golden poops on here the past couple days.

    You have to read between the lines.

    It’s so beautiful it brings a muppet tear to my eye.

    Let your individual freak flag fly and embrace your individual self.

    Diversity is the heart of unity.

    I like the eschaton game.

    I like the Princess and the Portal game.

    I like the Smelly Goat game.

    But I think my game is the best by far.

    My game is all of these and so much more.

    That Tiny Tim video is perfect by the way. Haha

    Smelly can help you move beyond judgements if you let him.

    The moment the desire arises to change Smelly and tame him you have already lost.

    Smelly swings on the spiral of the Tao, of doing not doing, beyond all judgements.

    The second a judgment arises the Devil has you.

    There is great power in 93.

    Live and let live.

    How do you taste the vinegar?

    Do you have a grin?

    We are all muppets of the way.

    The play is the play.

    We are muppets of the great wheel of time.
