First let’s talk a little about Technology and the march of the future. Yesterday on his show, Leo Le Port said that Google I thought (?) was developing a GPS device for auto controlled cars that drive themselves through the streets safely obeying traffic laws, without any sensors laid down in the streets. Leo said the technology of today allows them not to need anything in the road for it to work. He said there would come a time when it was far less necessary for people to actually OWN cars but merely to summon one up like you’d call your pooch over. You’d say you “need a car in fifteen minutes” and then use the car and I guess the car would drive itself to your place and then return itself to the dealer after you were done. This would cut way down on the need for garage and parking spaces in public places if these cars, that could be whistled for like dogs, returned to their “homes” or were summoned by another user the next hour. It would cut down on gasoline sales, too. Republicans must already find it troubling that the average car mileage will almost double in just a couple of decades from now. They are counting on people spending more money for gasoline so they’ll have an energy issue to campaign on. Last night on Sixty Minutes they had that whole space travel thing. Now for the first time in 55 years the United States has no way of launching a manned rocket into space. We are hurling backwards. Now private corporations are taking up the slack, much as President Obama hoped they would. But astronauts Neil Armstrong and Gene Sernen testified before congress this would be a bad thing and that President Obama is making a big mistake by pritizing Space travel. So now the Republicans are actually against privatization in an area where they wish to see more and not less government involvement. This one company took a gamble and launched three rockets and none of them was able to achieve earth orbit but they all failed. So they went for a fourth eight weeks after the third launch because they had isolated a two second booster rocket firing timing error that they would now correct. This time the launch worked, so they had more funding. Then they had other successes including launching capsules designed for up to seven men to travel in. (?) So that’s an inspiring story. The Republicans as a rule seem dedicated in most areas to insuring the preservation of a Past, that in many cases “never was” to begin with.
The whole thing about Proto-Pagliosis or that whole face blindness thing is interesting. I have always been rather weak with identifying faces compared to other people. You change make up, cut your hair, and change the color and it definitely throws me. And in terms of all that age regression of faces stuff, forget it. They said that if you are exceptionally good at recognizing faces this was also a bad thing, because people will accuse you of being a stalker because “you’re not supposed to know who I am”. Stephen King once has a short story called ‘I know what you want”. Knowing too much about any one person could be considered intrusive. But they use those oval things and that makes it a lot harder. A lot of people go by things as body build and hair and head shape and ears and jaw line as well as the eyes, nose, and mouth within the Ovel they show. Turning a face upside down per se shouldn’t be any problem, though. But I do know that others most often will identify me in a crowd before I identify them, in most cases. And it has crossed my mind that perhaps a few relationships have been short changed because of this. Of course on that Family Guy thing Stewie ran this experiment of total memory wipe and it was to answer the question “Would two best friends still be best friends and know and trust each other if their knowledge of the other were completely wiped out”. The answer was in the affirmative of yes they would. I think this issue personally transfers to meeting people who you knew in a previous incarnation.
OK I guess you have one of these Emitt Till type situations or at least “Emitt Till Light”. You have this “Neighborhood Watch” guy who’s had trouble with the cops in the past but the charges were dropped presumably because he was white. Then you have this other (Black?) guy who goes to the local 7 – 11 to buy a bag of Skittles and a can of soda and is walking home. The Neighborhood Watch guy didn’t like him and believed him to be an “undesirable” (Black?) who shouldn’t be in that store. So he begins chasing him and the guy runs and falls. And the Neighborhood Watch guy stands over him, and the kid pleads for his life and the guy looks right at him and shoots him execution style, and the law enforcement of Florida looks the other way as though everything is fine. The 9 – 11 people were harassed with phone calls like forty of them or whatever from this one guy over a short period of months, and there are other incidents of “moral perpitude” and injustice occurring in the State of Florida.
So why was I channeling or was I just “being me” in all of those song lyrics quotes? Maybe myself but maybe “Burt Lombard”, who is mysterious even for a “walk in”. There was a “counter movement” going on in my psyche as apposed to all of the ‘Jesus Stuff” in 1971. I think groups like Black Sabbath just nailed the ethical issues down a hell of a lot better than the morally bereft Calvary Chapel people do.
I wanted to talk about this “thing” I have about the bifurcating of God into the moral aspects of reality, which I call the Karmic realm, and then there is the reality of the physical world. I pitched this idea to Dr. Levy a week or so ago and to my surprise he went for it. I don’t know if he would have gone for it as readily if he knew I was actually talking about a bifurcation of God Himself. I told you I have now come to be a physical determinist, or physical Calvinist. But whatever the physical reality, we have certain moral and karmic duties that must not be shirket and we are to use whatever free will we do have to make the best decision with information known at the time. I at times have referred to this belief as Physical Marcionism. I’d like to talk about regular Marcionism for a minute and it’s role in formatting the Church as we know it. As you know Marcionism is Gnostic in the sense that you get “saved” in it by having an inexplicable “experience” with a Higher Power. And this Power instantly changes your life forever for the better and makes you as a new Moral Creation. St. Paul was the chief proponet of Marcionism. Marcionism goes so far as to say that if something “isn’t of God” it is not just corrupted or highly depraved but Totally Depraved. So this world and everything about the world is totally depraved. This includes the God, Jehovah, who created it, and all the angelic realms of the Old Testament, and the O T Laws, which are as it were a “covenant with death”. It strikes me that St. Paul may be a made up person with the intend of giving a “frame” for Marcionite doctrine. There is this Christ of Deliverence entity in Marcionism. My latest theory is that Titus, who was not “compelled to be circumcised even though he was Greek”, had this imaginary character whom he called Timothy, which was a disciple of Marcion’s imaginaty character Paul. Paul means “little and it’s interesting that the fiction goes St. Paul has no personal charisma, and did all he accomplished on the mere strength of God’s word. It doesn’t work like that in life. Timothy means “honoring God”. And Titus wanted HIS imaginary character to “honor God” a little more than Marcion’s imaginary character Paul. Titus did make his fictional character a trusted disciple of Paul. And in the two books of Timothy and one of Titus, some of the Marcionite doctrine is backed away from, just a bit.
I had this dream there was this “movement’ that was also a book and a movie, but the movie was to propagate the reality of this new Ministry or “Way to Live” program. But in the Novel (even I’m confused) this movement takes off and people are joined and beguiled by this man’s words, but then in January of 2009 everything changes and the guy tries to take over and Earth is a battleground, not too unlike Stephen King’s “The Stand” novel where cities have anarchy and marshal law is instated by this Cult leader. Also I’ve had this recurring time line as you know in the “other life” dreams - - - where the late part of the “ought” decade like 2007 on - - one of these summers I have amnesia for four months because I’m in the Hospital from late April to August or something, and then I’m with my family on vacation but there are still gaps in my memory. This has been kind of a recurring scenario. But in this ‘Novel” I think it’s like January of 2011. And the battle toes on for months till about June. There are these “two kinds of matter” and this is another recurring theme of my dreams”. You’re either a “One’ or a “Two” and mot of us are “Ones”. But to even physically contact a “two does strange things to your body and your orientation goes weird and you get dizzy and you can’t think straight and may have electrical shock sensations in your body till you get used to being around “twos”. Then you can’t stand the “Ones”. This cult leader seemed to have his own “reality” about things kind of like the Marcionite “spiritual reality” which seems entirely in someone elses’ head. And sometimes the leader would transform himself into a black cat, that would show how much it liked you by either being friendly and purring or jump out and attacking you. And it would watch you and try and read your motives. But then another “chapter’ in the book appeared that I read. In this chapter the Cult Leader decided to give up his powers and content himself to being just your garden variety snake oil salesman and Wayne Dyre quack just like any other of these clowns on TV.
