Thelema Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, I took a hard look at Dr.Shams bullshit 'all--encompassing' philosophy and I was neutured. What I have to offer is some bullshit based on my own crazy life, that I'm pretty sure is more crazy than the life you have lived. So if you want to ask me a question about anything, I'll try my best to answer. There's not much I don't technically know about so dont worry in that regard. I'm pretty literate and scientific at the same time, so I welcome all questions with equal grace and anticipation. Juat try and keep the thread not too complicated, I don't want to be spinning around and around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Posted October 25, 2011 ok, regarding the afrocarribian correlation with south american shamanism and the master of the crossroads what is the relationship of Papa Legba to San Pedro as a symbol and the use of catholic images for the loa? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyPants Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) When I saw particles zooming around in a classic atom-shape in front of my eyes in the air (accompanied by Lucy), did that mean I commanded the form to appear? Did I unfocus my vision down to that size? Did my mind expand to see the spaces between atoms? The nucleus wasn't seen at all, just very tiny trails from the zooming electrons. If one has an open mind, how does one assimilate what they believe (or feel) to be true, with the fact that knowing the unprovable (as yet) is impossible? Does that negate an "open mind"? Edit: Great question, Gunter Edited October 26, 2011 by FancyPants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
occidentalis Posted October 26, 2011 That is actually a really awesome question Gunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Cady Posted October 26, 2011 How do crabs fuck? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelema Posted October 26, 2011 crab sex? like this: or did you have something more like this in mind?: now on the point of the LSD atom thing, no man, you were just hallucinating, probably you wwere seeing some sort of thing on the back of your eyeball. electrons actually don't "zoom" around , that's an outdated model. More like a 3D drumskin is the up to date model.Having an open mind doesn't preclude the possibility of certainty. Although as Wittgenstein would say, what exactly can we be certain of? That we have two hands and exist is a basic starting point. I'll get back to the other questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seldom Posted October 26, 2011 nah stay with the crab sex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel Posted October 26, 2011 I don't know if Wittgenstein would agree that having two hands is a certainty. In fact, On Certainty is his epic refutation of Moore's insistence that this is the case. Of this I am certain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted October 26, 2011 We should have a "Shaman of the Week" in this thread, the next one nominated by the last. The burden is too much for one person to carry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelema Posted October 26, 2011 OK I nominate you, Psylo Dread. I'm sick of this already, it's really tiring being a prophet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
occidentalis Posted October 26, 2011 So crab sex was the best prophesying you could do? I'm disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distracted Posted October 26, 2011 So... this is from some half arsed research and a whole lot of musing.. but... is it possible that the 'god' we know of as 'god' could be 'Lucifer'? Lucifer banished from heaven, sentenced to solitude. In order to escape his loneliness he created us in his image. Which means we are still all 'god' but before that we're actually 'Lucifer', the 'god' of our material existance. Then maybe in 2012 we'll all awaken to the truth and all at once open our eyes to see ourselves as a fallen angel. PS It's hilarious that spellchecker wants me to capitalise Lucifer but doesn't mind if god is in lowercase. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
