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?

    That post from Dan on the other page sounded like a post from Smelly. They truly are combining as one. Dan has been compromised by Smelly, and Smelly by Dan. Smile

    Dan,
    Are you on twitter? Cy has been posting some videos to twitter.

    cw,

    I try to stick to one platform.

    Cy is more than welcome to come back here.  She owns the place, but  I think she got scared away by Foot.  A lot of folks do.  I’m here to protect you from evil foot.


    noon.......

    So, the more things change, the more they stay the same.  

    I never really understood that, but it applies especially to the portal phenomenon, doesn’t it, smelly?  

    That’s how we’re going to save the world..... one portal at a time.

    And, when we get there, we’ll know ourselves for the first time.

    When you can figure out what we did to Kashoggi, you’ll see how it works. Kinda like LV, only different.

    Dan, muppets don’t understand the Noble Lie.

    How many have kept it I wonder?

    Yes, let’s play along.

    Imagine to be aware like Plato and decide as he did to fool them all for their benefit ultimately.

    Maybe that’s wishful thinking and the Devil would think nothing of Humanity falling into nihilism.

    This is interesting to me.

    It doesn’t strike mortal fear into me.

    I am kinda in awe.

    This state of awe is important.

    What we think is our reality.

    Belief is an important ingredient in making a Human Being.

    There are wheels within wheels turning here.

    I believe Humanity is loved.

    There are two basic types of relationships, with things and people.

    We came to see the cosmos as machinery.

    This led to Deism.

    People aren’t helicopters.

    We project our mechanistic view on everything.

    We have objectified nature.

    The implication of making tools is more fundamental than theory.

    We have come to objectify people, so Heideigger says.

    We are a corporate body.

    The Man is in all of us. The collective.

    To live authentically is to heed the call of the inner man.

    The Outsider continues work begun in Being and Time.

    We are thrown back into consciousness and if we can avoid dogma we will face Death head on.

    We have a social and personal history, our actions are mostly predefined by these.

    We have an angst about our finiteness.

    We have to find our way in history and current experience.

    To be a Taoist would be inauthentic for me, I was born into Christianity.

    I’m the Dude.

    We form ourselves from chosen histories.

    We should be coherent.

    I can study anything, but I must be authentic and coherent.

    This is possible in this time for the first time.

    We now live in a global context.

    So how do we authentically consider history?

    The conservative view is antiquarian.

    Every ideal is a response to pressure. We must deconstruct history critically.

    This was how Marxism formed.

    Then there is a monumental history.

    Any growth must be deeply rooted.

    The great ideas of the past become inspiration.

    This is authentic.

    So facing an existential threat ground yourself.

    Then branch.

    We counter balance with history and then swing out to jump to the next rock.

    We are Western Man and must embrace history critically and monumentally.

    Get it pinballs?

    That’s the game.

    Do the work of digging into history and remaking yourself or
    you are just a superficial muppet.

    Dan helped me here a lot.

    Well, I helped myself.

    So reign it in sloth and tighten that belt up, there is work to do and we can’t just go flitting around.

    Know and ground theyself in both Worlds.

    This "awe" concept has hit synchronicity level in past couple of days so I felt the need to share.

    If you are in awe, you are being meta programmed.

    Enjoy.

    smelly,

    I apologize, I didn’t read your earlier post with sufficient care.......

    What strikes me now is the concept of the noble lie......

    I now realize that ‘Felix culpa’ bears a strong resemblance to noble lie.  

    Felix culpa is one of God’s versions of the noble lie......

    For instance........ the grand deception leads to the great apostasy.  

    Scientific materialism leads to the great apostasy, which is the best possible setup for chicken little.  

    Yes.  Tell me I’m wrong.......

    IOW, the apparent invincibility of scientific materialism was God’s little noble lie to us, sapients.  That provides my entree.  

    IOW, sports fans, astronomy is fake news, just like Khashoggi.  

    Astronomy went over the top with Cosmic Chirps. Khashoggi went over the top with the stereo screams.

    That is why we have them up against the wall, isn’t it.

    Felix culpa, yes.

    They are only half seeing and that was apparently on purpose.

    Maybe you aren’t read in to the level you think you are old man, haha.

    Pay attention and you might learn a thing or two from the smelly goat.

    I guess the question is does the music ever stop?

    When will we be ready to start writing and playing it.

    That will probably be under cover of the noble lie of idealism and happen under our noses.

    Romanticism is a clue to the bigger game.

    Imagination won’t be defined or denied.

    We must live with and become comfortable with more uncertainty.

    When does the music stop.......?

    In 1000 years.

    That was too easy.  Ask me something I don’t know.......

    God’s goat has been sticking its tongue ???? out at me for too long.  

    Now, the Catfish has got your tongue.......?

    It will take a thousand years to unravel the cosmic knot we call the Earth.  And you can just call me ‘Alex’,  for short.  

    I was going to suggest that you send me one of these for Xmas, but the Princess already beat you to it....... https://www.amazon.com/ALEX-Toys-DIY-Knot-A-Mermaid-Novelty/dp/B000F1OPGY

    See, smelly, we’re not as stupid as we look.

    What a scrawny chicken.

    Knot you say...

    “The knot of the Universe is a fool’s knot; for all it seems Gordian, pull but firmly, and it ravels out. It is this seeming that is all the mischief; gloomy is the gulf, and the clouds gather angrily in monstrous shapes; the false moon flickers behind them; abyss upon abyss opens on every hand. Darkness and menace; the fierce sound of hostile things!

    One glimmer of starlight, and behold the golden bridge! Narrow and straight, keen as the razor’s edge and glittering as the sword’s blade, a proper bridge if thou leanest not to right or left. Cross it — good! but all this is in the dream. Wake! Thou shalt know that all together, gulf, moon, bridge, dragon and the rest, were but the phantasms of sleep howbeit, remember this, that to cross the bridge in sleep is the only way to waking.”

    A hint at the bigger lie I think, sleep.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_ear_syndrome

    Musical ear syndrome (MES) describes a condition seen in people who have hearing loss and subsequently develop auditory hallucinations. "MES" has also been associated with musical hallucinations, which is a complex form of auditory hallucinations where an individual may experience music or sounds that are heard without an external source.[1] It is comparable to Charles Bonnet syndrome (visual hallucinations in visually impaired people)[2] and some have suggested this phenomenon could be included under this diagnosis.

    Thank you PF, this is sure evidence of Dan's hallucinations.



    Mistah Kurtz—he dead.

    A penny for the Old Guy

    I
    We are the hollow men
    We are the stuffed men
    Leaning together
    Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
    Our dried voices, when
    We whisper together
    Are quiet and meaningless
    As wind in dry grass
    Or rats' feet over broken glass
    In our dry cellar

    Shape without form, shade without colour,
    Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

    Those who have crossed
    With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
    Remember us—if at all—not as lost
    Violent souls, but only
    As the hollow men
    The stuffed men.

    II
    Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
    In death's dream kingdom
    These do not appear:
    There, the eyes are
    Sunlight on a broken column
    There, is a tree swinging
    And voices are
    In the wind's singing
    More distant and more solemn
    Than a fading star.

    Let me be no nearer
    In death's dream kingdom
    Let me also wear
    Such deliberate disguises
    Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
    In a field
    Behaving as the wind behaves
    No nearer—

    Not that final meeting
    In the twilight kingdom

    III
    This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man's hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.

    Is it like this
    In death's other kingdom
    Waking alone
    At the hour when we are
    Trembling with tenderness
    Lips that would kiss
    Form prayers to broken stone.

    IV
    The eyes are not here
    There are no eyes here
    In this valley of dying stars
    In this hollow valley
    This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

    In this last of meeting places
    We grope together
    And avoid speech
    Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

    Sightless, unless
    The eyes reappear
    As the perpetual star
    Multifoliate rose
    Of death's twilight kingdom
    The hope only
    Of empty men.

    V
    Here we go round the prickly pear
    Prickly pear prickly pear
    Here we go round the prickly pear
    At five o'clock in the morning.

    Between the idea
    And the reality
    Between the motion
    And the act
    Falls the Shadow
    For Thine is the Kingdom

    Between the conception
    And the creation
    Between the emotion
    And the response
    Falls the Shadow
    Life is very long

    Between the desire
    And the spasm
    Between the potency
    And the existence
    Between the essence
    And the descent
    Falls the Shadow
    For Thine is the Kingdom

    For Thine is
    Life is
    For Thine is the

    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    Not with a bang but a whimper.

    TS, slow and calm down, really man.

    We don’t need a pile on, we need focus and discipline.

    Stream of consciousness in another thread dude.

    Funny me saying that, but I showed up and did my work.

    You have to find a deep sense of this on your own.

    You can’t work from a cheat sheet.

    You have to ingest and sit with it.

    Alright Smells, focus and discipline.

    Is there anything that is not a stream of consciousness?

    I'm showing up.

    I'm doing the work.

    I have a deep sense of this on my own.

    Everything is a cheat sheet.

    You just have to go with the flow Dude.

    Relax.
