I forget, now, what was it that we were celebrating........ a portal conspiracy of some sort.....
What might be the mother of all portal conspiracies......? Wherever three or more of you are gathered together in my name, there shall I be, also.
Yes, 99, the mass is a celebration of portals.
smelly opened up a portal in his backyard, with a little help from the rest of us.
I think I claimed that ours was the first public portal*. Maybe the Catholics beat us to it. Every religion has its own portals, with oodles of entanglement. That is just the definition of any religion.
Portals also involve geomancy, astrology and numerology, as hobbit already knows.
We pick up on the traditional religions just as a way to amplify the entanglement factor.
hobbit has been a crypto personalist all along, we just had to smoke him out, a little bit.
The Latin word..... religio, is just another word for entanglement.
This is bad news for smelly........ he is doing everything he can to extricate himself from those snares.
But then so are we.......
We are stealing the portals from the individual religions, just in order to reconfigure them back into the primordial global Portal, leading directly back to Mt Monadnock.
1(ft)..........
If truth be known, smelly is not really into portal sharing. He has his own, in his backyard.
Pantheism/mysticism is not a communal pursuit.... certainly not in the first instance.
Yes, there certainly are Wiccan circles of magical pursuit. smelly was in an ayahuasca circle when he made his first spiritual breakthroughs.
We might ask hobbit about purely natural portals, where persons are involved only incidentally.
Vortices certainly have the flavor of being purely geomantic. The Skinwalker Ranch might be an example.
But, wait, these vortices are always based, perhaps entirely, in the appearance of alien entities. These entities inevitably become entangled with us, humans.
hobbit, of course, loves to carry on about cosmic force fields..... what could be more impersonal?
hobbit is certainly not a people person.
hobbit, however, has not reckoned with the small world hypothesis (SWH).......
hobbit’s default activity is dowsing. There is no dowsing without a dowser, of course. But dowsing is most commonly employed in the pursuit of underground water.
Water is the elixir of life..... not just human life, of course.
The basis of the small world hypothesis is the Anthropic Principle. Yes, the Anthropic Principle is misnamed. It should be called the biological principle, in its literal/original formulation.
I believe, however, that hobbit has pronounced his long standing adherence to the notion of cosmic consciousness.
Yes, I’m an animist when it comes to consciousness. Consciousness is something we share with the animal kingdom.
Self awareness, however, is something else....... and, yes, I do know that chimpanzees recognize themselves in mirrors.
The question before us is whether cosmic consciousness is self aware.
I suggest that it must be, virtually by definition.
Now we could ask if gravity is a part of cosmic consciousness, or is it the other way around?
Any immaterialist is committed to the former view. I suggest that hobbit is as well. After all, that is where logic takes us.
Cosmic consciousness implies a cosmic self. Selfhood is only a concomitant of sapience..... not of sentience. There is a gap, and please mind the gap.
I’m suggesting that hobbit must be a personalist, as must be every person..... no?
Existentialists are personalists who deny any source.
They are a bit like the impersonal mystics....... Brahman is the Source, but it is impersonal..... indeed, it is a Void.
smelly and I agree in the philosophy of no self. But this is not the same as no Self.
Our illusory mini selves exist only inasmuch as we partake of the cosmic Self, so how can that be Nothing?
Yes, the world is just an illusion, as most non prophetics believe. This illusion is the product of our (bad) karma, they say.
See if you can follow this logic. I certainly can’t...... the buck has to stop somewhere? Well, with the caveat that the BPW is a CTC ..... closed timelike curve...... it doesn’t stop, but come on, you know what I mean.
What about the primordial monadic Self? It came from the cosmic potential. You might as well ask why there is something, rather than nothing. There cannot be anything without an observer. Even the quantum physicists will admit to that much. But that much is just about everything...... no?
(cont.......)
