Well Neo in a domain where not knowing is a religious ideal ... does one need to be obtuse when speaking truth ... an altruism?

Some sense of inverse psychology! Things I'm not allowed to speak of due to thought control ... things we're not supposed to know from up and down ... rite and left!

Myself I'D leave the rites out of it as institutional I'Z'd ... things that can't evolve!

Brief ruminations...

Death has been my companion all along the way. First taken for a stranger and resisted as a foe. Now a welcome companion as I journey along the way of this present moment to the place from where I have come.

Some years back I lay quiet in bed. This bed stood in a small rented room of a former nunnery in St. Boniface.

I lay still and wide awake. Footsteps sounding in the distance sharpened my attention. They entered the city and came down the road leading to the building where I lay. Down the road and to the front door. Up the stairs. Along the tiled hall.

The footsteps came to and through my locked door. They stopped at the foot of the bed. There stood Death, gazing at me laying still and attentive. I broke the silence: "If you have come to take me, I am yours. If you have come to frighten me, you have not succeeded."

Forgetting our primal unity with the whole of being as becoming, we seek to establish the security of apparent being against what is considered as treat; submergence of the particular in the universal.

We are born out of the primal unity and into the transitory realm of particular being. It is particular manifestation that is born and dies. Primal unity, Dasein, is unmoved and undiminished either by birth or death.

We do ourselves a great disservice when we push death beyond the threshold of awareness, submerging it in the depths of unconscious being.

Waiting to exhale...

NEO,
You remind me of an opposing force to those I worked for in my career ... "go by the book and don't think about other options" ... they had great memories (memnons) for things that had exceptions to the rule for decades ... and if you proposed a solution for the exceptions ... it was assumed you made the conserving mind look bad ... and thus that couldn't be ... functioning minds create change!

Infinte Dasein? The whole thing that's out there is all we have ... some digging may be required to uncover that which is occult ... presently hidden as obtuse to protect the innocent (those wishing not to know anymore than that presently confined).

Does this still amount to obtuse in general if other people don't understand? Isn't that the point of ancient church fathers who stated: "common people shouldn't know" when it came to Lucretius theme of "The Nature of Things" ... and naturally we don't know much. King James reinforced this with his intent for His bible ... the common people should know what I do ... which wasn't much if you research the hi-Q of King James that they couldn't decide whether I or VI ... does to English Celt dissonance that was once know as the Eris of Chaos ... the lass with the flaming head ...

Have you noticed the trend for doing things the same old way by autocrats and bureaucrats (bo-rows) as artificial intelligence is cast in silica? If computers broke down we are headed in the direction of lost curse've writ ... we will be unable to read written codes! Now consider the effect of a huge electromagnetic spell on the sun causing disruptions to earthy electronic communication systems ... an artificial bombing of knowledge, or just bottoming out?

Is that a dark potential that we'd rather not concern ourselves with ... occult wosdom? Some say dark wisdom does not exist ... since they don't know about it. They should be out here in the shadows (hamadryads) with the rest of us with nothing to do but watch and silently observe ... since we've been told to be quiet about dark meditations ... negative desires ... or positive thoughts about the end of present naïveté ... once experienced?

Yaas ... but authorities don't like intelligence ... makes their emotional efforts look weak from the bottom side ... such is the humility of a thinking deviate ... some say demon in the vale ... recessed for a bit?

The devil you say ... and thus the gods erupt again ... casting shadows over the land ... like condors or large floques of raven entities ...
 
If one digs for the devil ... there in the rubble (Runes) one will find god ... always leaning in with the underdog ... sort of subtle-ty in the myth!

Do you know many experts don't believe that anything carries over from the Runes of Classic Tongues ... just to oppress literacy in derivation!
 
Tis occult etude that leads one away from present rules of graham-Eire ... to past mixed trends like the Cyrillic move to put the vert abter the subject and object ... before the move was made ... some things are considered in reverse ... like inverse of reflective mental process ... ast haught ... is that ahot potatoe for those thinking me out of their box?

It is a'Muse in to read into unknowns ... like the ultimate code ... of that which we don't know yet ... or perhaps lost ... like displaced thoughts. Where do they go ... without an obtuse void?
 
I picked Judgement day, but I believe in universal reconciliation, everyone is saved. In my belief, all of the choices are true. I think we all only live once in this universe (atheism) until this universe has passed (Judgement day). Then we are reborn/recycled (reincarnation) into a new universe (afterlife). Now where I am conflicted is whether it really matters. What is the meaning of an afterlife/reincarnation/resurrection when you don't remember your previous life anyway? The other conflict I have in my mind is whether that new universe exists after the old universe has passed or whether the new universe has already started to exist. Or maybe we are the new universe and when we die we return to the old universe? xD
 
I just noticed the choice "None of the above quite fits. I'll say more in a post." Change my vote from Judgement Day to that. :)
 
we honestly know what happens when we die - we choose to believe in a myth of heaven or reincarnation - both of those realities might exist but can never be proven. Death can be proven. Scientifically verifiable. It is the leap of faith that allows for other possibilities. Being born and dying are two absolutes - how we choose to live and what we believe when we die is in our hearts and minds.
 
Is living and dying mindful, or is one mindless and thus nothing (psyche) goes nowhere?

How would the sensation of dying strike the organ of sensation? Would you subscribe to an OBI sensation ... and the powerful urge to become nothing so as to avoid the entangled actions? Could this be immaterial to those believing only in material things when the mind is otherwise ... metaphysics? Some get the goods of material and others well they knw the goods on people like Miguel Duckless ... undergoing a tryst over a lack of morals and ethics in the lack of clearcut laws.

Does this say something about an island portion of the senate as separate from collective good?
