Let Me Finish My Code

 

“You know, it’s a strange thing to make the claim of complete gnosis, and I am making that claim.

I don’t believe there’s anything I can learn about reality that I don’t already know.  I can only learn details that always seem to fit perfectly into this picture.  This leads to problems with concepts of sanity, and confirmation bias and all that other stuff.  And that’s part of the reason I put my blog out there is because I want people to say to me, you know, “you are totally fucking crazy, dude”. And “What do you make of this, what do you make of this?” And you know, so far nobody’s been able to knock me off my perch.”

Back to the Garden: This Two Shelled Path

 

A garden of forking paths provides the opportunity to receive apocalypse from a safe distance.  Having experienced gnostic entanglement in the past, it scratches an awful bloody scar. Therefore, I do not reflect on the guilt, or the innocence and the guilt.  It is only quantum perspective that divorces their bond. This two shelled path, it bores us to joys.

Here comes a catholic 

Can you see anything offensive in that?

“This’ll be the end of Aaron’s…”

“C.K. kept talking about morality and punishment throughout the set, but never connected the dots to his own behavior. He belittled the idea that parents should teach their kids the difference between right and wrong. He tells his kids there are no bad words, you just have to think hard about who you’re saying them to. He talked about convicted murderers and how admission of guilt plays into sentencing. He observed how everyone in hell is equally miserable, and Hitler shares real estate with people who committed minor sins. He doesn’t believe in God (according to “Sincerely”), but mentioned his Catholic upbringing and ended the set by literally reading from a Bible. The obscure verse was about Jesus making a fig tree wither and die out of spite because it wouldn’t bear fruit.  

“You want fruit out of season? Go to Whole Foods, you f—king J-w,” he said.  

If you’re like me, that line probably made you laugh, but it didn’t make you smile.”

“I have a secret conviction that Zebra is Christ, invisibly returned, and not what we've been told about him (her-Hagia Sophia). Aphrodite has returned, regaining her rightful power (of love) over the male war gods.  It is the "darling creature, the first created and most loved by God" of "Proverbs” 8 and “Wisdom of Solomon”.  Jesus was a disguise she took.  Now she is everywhere.  Being a projected hologram she can take any form she wishes.”

“It’s really strange.  If you get accused of pornography, then anyone who would defend you is defending pornography”.

When the magazine

ran into financial difficulties in the 1970s, it was the conspiracy theory element that attracted ex-Beatle

John Lennon to donate; saying, "If anything ever happens to me...it won't be an accident."

“I was up in San Francisco and this guy said did you ever take any DMT?”

“Take another toke, till the jewels fall out of your eyes”

“Man has risen above the rule

That’s what we’ve done

We’ve practiced the form so much that we’ve lost the essence of the form and now what we’re dying from is the knowledge.

Our intelligence kills us.

And now comes the police cars.

Now what went on in my mind is that if I could say something so bizarre and do the most vile thing, the most repugnant thing that they could ever think of that nothing would happen.

I thought the thing that does us in is the shock.

The punchline is that I talked to a doctor about this DMT and he said “DMT where’d you get that?  That’s a classified drug!”

I said “what do you mean?”

He said “well it’s an experimental drug. They developed it for shock, to replace electric shock, but it got out of hand so the War Department took it over”

The blue bird hasn’t gone, only in the light of these days 
There have been too many men and women, foolishly running after this prey 
So it had to become very careful, so that it could stay free 
Therefore now it has become almost impossible to see

*Chiraq

He is described in the Quran as "trustworthy" and "patient" and the Quran also says that he was "exalted to a high station". Because of this and other parallels, traditionally Idris has been identified with the biblical Enoch, and Islamic tradition usually places Idris in the early Generations of Adam, and considers him one of the oldest prophets mentioned in the Quran.  

Idris' unique status inspired many future traditions and stories surrounding him in Islamic folklore.

According to hadith, narrated by Malik ibn Anas and found in Sahih Muslim, it is said that on Muhammad's Night Journey, he encountered Idris in the fourth heaven. The traditions that have developed around the figure of Idris have given him the scope of a prophet as well as a philosopher and mystic, and many later Muslim mystics, or Sufis, including Ruzbihan Baqli and Ibn Arabi, also mentioned having encountered Idris in their spiritual visions.

Idris is identified as the great-grandfather of Nuh/Noah.

Antoine Faivre, in The Eternal Hermes (1995), has pointed out that Hermes Trismegistus (a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth) has a place in the Islamic tradition, although the name Hermes does not appear in the Quran. Hagiographers and chroniclers of the first centuries of the Islamic Hijrahquickly identified Hermes Trismegistus with Idris, the Prophet of surat 19.56-57 and 21.85, whom the Arabs also identified with Enoch (cf. Genesis 5.18–24). Idris/Hermes was termed "Thrice-Wise" Hermes Trismegistus because he had a threefold origin. The first Hermes, comparable to Thoth, was a "civilizing hero", an initiator into the mysteries of the divine science and wisdom that animate the world; he carved the principles of this sacred science in Egyptian hieroglyphs. The second Hermes, in Babylon, was the initiator of Pythagoras. The third Hermes was the first teacher of alchemy. "A faceless prophet," writes the Islamicist Pierre Lory, "Hermes possesses no concrete or salient characteristics, differing in this regard from most of the major figures of the Bible and the Quran." A common interpretation of the representation of "Trismegistus" as "thrice great" recalls the three characterizations of Idris: as a messenger of god, or a prophet; as a source of wisdom, or hikmet (wisdom from hokhmah); and as a king of the world order, or a "sultanate". These are referred to as müselles bin ni'me.

The star-worshipping sect known as the Sabians of Harran also believed that their doctrine descended from Hermes Trismegistus.
