|    APHORISMS OF THE MANIFOLD    |

      XPost: alt.conspiracy, alt.paganism       From: noreply@remailer.cpunk.us               THE APHORISM OF THE MANIFOLD                            There is but one formless, non-material substance. some of it blazes with       fire, some of it is quiet with silent images and darkness. There is only this       and THEIR MINDS,              and IMAGINAL FORMS. The IMAGINAL FORMS constitute an infinite plethora of       gods, worlds, universes, realms, entities, but these are only illusory;       infinite self and              other defining aspects wrought by THE MINDS and non-material substance and       outside of these NOTHING EXISTS at all.                     There are densities of substance that produce materiality. There is only this       substance. The MINDS OF BEINGS in turn transform this substance into symbols       with names              and objects. A cup is only dried mud with pigment for paint. It is only the       MINDS OF BEINGS that endow this object with a symbol of concave aspect, and       with its name:              called 'cup'. Only they define its function to drink out of. In this way the       symbol becomes reality, as it does in higher worlds, and it being just dried       mud and              pigment is either ignored or it is irrelevant. In the upper worlds,       non-material substance and MIND is all that is really there. But IMAGINATION       makes an infinite              number: different things, worlds, and realities out of this substance, and the       fact that it is only Non-material substance and MIND is either ignored, or is       irrelevant.                     Nothing is real, thus no-thing is real, yet Nothing has a co-eval       substantiality called illusion, an efflorescence of seeming Light on the face       of Oblivion....              Nothing is unreal, thus no-thing is unreal, yet Illusion has a co-eval       substantiality called Nothingness, an efflorescence of seeming Light on the       face of the              manifold...                     There is only the PRESENT: Past and the Future is an Illusion. All things       exist in the Present and experienced in the Present. Past and Future are just       categories              to make sense of experience, in themselves they do not really exist. Making       the PRESENT into time is impossible, because it slips away immediately.                     There is only one FATAL WILL that runs through all things, and constitutes the       inevitable working out of the permutations of infinite illusion.              Only THEY understand it, but who THEY are is unknown. But I call them MOI:       "The Masters Of Illusion."                            Through illusion, manipulation, and limitedness we exist, yet we can neither       know how, nor why, we are deceived, manipulated, or confined/convoluted in any       given state.              Those looking for proof of this will never find it....              Nothingness and its Illusionary efflorescence cannot give it.              Yet somehow Nothingness can present everything, and everything can be       anything, and anything, can be everything, and everything can be nothing and       it can whirl              around tying the beginning and end into nowhere.                     Forget my words, only meditation on this will have a chance to be relevant to       you.......              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
