Helter Skelter Vol. 10: Thomas, Can You See Me?

There’s only one gnostic experience, you’ll never have it again.  Once you have it, you are having it every day.

You do not come by knowledge of your own volition.  When the student is ready, actually, it’s not when the student is ready, it’s when the pupil is ready, the Master appears.  And that Master is the first physical principle of reality, the birth of the Universe.  You see it in your mind’s eye, and in no way could I claim that I understood it when I first saw it.  It drove me into research, and some would say that I have come to a state of confirmation bias, but I know that it isn’t true, because like a foolish kid who is just joking around with a teacher, I actually sketched it out.  And I didn’t even remember doing that really until decades later.  After I had my gnostic experience, I realized I had already seen this dozens of times before.  I just didn’t recognize it for what it was.

"I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one." 

 

"When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the Vision and the Voice one and the same, so that the Vision not be Vision nor the Voice; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and an ear in place of a an ear, and a meme in place of a meme; then will you enter the kingdom."

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 provided me with the opportunity to receive an apocalypse from a safe distance.  Having experienced gnostic entanglement in the past, I know it scratches an awful bloody truth. Therefore, I do not boast of innocence.  I reflect on past guilt, and how innocence and guilt occupy identical centers of pain.  It is only the perspective of time and the dimensions of space that divorces their brotherhood.  This two shelled path, it bores us to joys.

Back to the Garden: Look In The Barrel

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.”

To Empty Hell: Debbie Does VALIS

“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”
