before I
go make something for lunch I just want to give a shout out to my alter
ego. I thought you were a spirit you
fucking wanker. My alter ego. I created and fed my alter ego, my avatar, my
little bunny I will now call Harvey.
Have a
seat, have a smoke while you’re at it and relax. I have two eggs to cook and maybe there’s
some bread to put some peanut butter on.
And a cup of tea will be nice.
The sun is out, the wind blows chilly, a beautiful 50 degree day for a
jog, a game of catch. Here I walk around
the building four times, each time is 90 seconds. And when am I gonna break out the jump rope,
dude, let’s do it.
A
doppelganger arcs into the universe paralleling my own universe when an avatar
sees the future, if only for a few seconds, for my own good. I timed the avator’s view into the future and
it was ten seconds. I don't think an alter ego can see the future at all.

Hanoi saw
snow this year, yesterday? Earlier this
week? Crazy dude. Here I keep the window open in the blue room
even though it is only 53 but as the days go on I am getting a little bit more
sun into the place. My hands are numb
for light.
I like
what Martin Luther did. It was
necessary. But he could have never
imagined, could he, that there’d be 40,000+ denominations to thank him five
hundred years later. Nice job. I think.
I don’t know. Luther wished to
remain a Catholic but the tide was too fast and the tsunami of freedom and the
printing press changed everything. A
most important milestone in human history, you think? Close enough to see and feel and experience
the wave of freedom bursting forth with the greatest zeal.
So, when you think faith you think power and look
what Protestantism has done for the world that Catholicism hasn’t done for the
world. I think half of the Prods have
done what the Church would approve of and that half accepts the church for what
the church is, it’s older than ya’ll that’s for sure. And more believable. Go see Titus’s relics in Florence at St.
Marks Cathedral. Connections to a past
we have to believe and makes us believe. I think the protestant fellas should take a
more liberal view of symbols. Symbols
have been teaching and guiding people since the beginning. And then go see it in practice in India among
the Hindus and Buddhists, Catholics and Muslims.
Leuven in
August, eh? Not much time, eh, to do too
much which is a good thing if an orientation begins in September. mother of jesus you’re not serious are you,
do you think it’s gonna happen?
What? Should I keep looking for a
better job? What is that? Is it in the states? Are the better jobs in the states? Why do I not feel ready to enter the country
again, is it a place you can’t feel you can settle down? get me a job in Houghton. can I live there for the next…35 years? I don’t think so. old men like warm temps. the Caribbean. nancy, frank, advice on condo buying on an
island with the occasional hurricane 200 miles off the coast so we can enjoy
the occasional dark clouds and winds safely.
8:12pm—I need
to eat something here but first, I read a summary of a fb friend’s dissertation
which she sent me. Fascinating stuff but
I wrote down all these phrases and words I have no idea what they mean so here
are a few because from what I read, I understand a few things a little clearer,
sort of.
spiritual alchemy
practiced solipsistically
panenanthropic
becoming Aion
inherent divinity
salvific
esoteric
holism…exacerbates solutions to world
peace and America’s spiritual crisis
Giordano Bruno and the
Theosophical Society
primitive religious experience
Hermetism
self-divinization is sacrificial
Ok, that
last phrase is kind of creeping me out and needs to be identified and filleted
if necessary.
First
using the word self in front of divinity in the noun form has lots of
implications namely that man can attain divinity himself without divinity to
help him. I’m sure it’s more than that,
buddy. But it is sacrificial, isn’t
it. In every way.
wow
there’s a lot here, I’ll have to come back to it, but yeah, I’m doing it now, practicing alchemy, what
else is there to do around here?
I learned
a new word today: ‘The All is in the
person’ is panenanthropic or panenanthropism.
And the author of this mind-bending article is the fb friend who has me
spending the evening looking up words I don’t know and I’ll take a gander at
this article, it is interesting to start…yikes, a rare psychological issue
here, is it defined in the DSM-4?
Probably. Well, I have to ask
before I read anymore but the examples in the article, the two boys who killed,
they’re pretty young to have absorbed what the writer is explaining. I mean what did these killers know? What did they read? Is there madness inherit? Is it learned or is it innate? I should read more but I have the morning
class coming up soon.
And there
are a few words I didn’t write down but did me cause for alarm, the
esoteric. I hope I am not one of these
though mingling the faiths together might be done by a few. The occult is mentioned but ya know I am not
there, man. I understand and dig the
shaman stuff because that makes sense but I need to stay away from the ‘new
age’ selfish tomfoolery. And there’s a
lot of it.
And to be
clear, Buddhism is not new age.
We ate
outside for lunch today, a tad brisk but the sun felt good and Rezek cooked a
meal my mother could have whipped up herself, meatballs in a tomato sauce along
with boiled potatoes, crunchy bread, rice, and a salad, in this case today,
tomatoes and cucumber pieces in meste, yogurt.
It is
possible, isn’t it, to trace a people from the food eaten? Right?
This is the same damn food the Germans eat. Where the hell do I go with this I haven’t before
yet, it’s driving me loony.
Is there
anything else here before we go to sleep, ok, listen to a little Ennio
Morricone…
