Gno longer

I understood that I was Gnostic upon entrance to The Library. And for a long time after.

I'm no longer Gnostic. 

Destination attained.

Practicality

I remember getting up at 4am in the early 80s to watch the royal wedding. It was the first time I paid attention to the royals. Even as a kid I saw the monarchy as having little to no practical value. Sure, there were fundraisers and charities and such, but the pomp and ceremony and shiny pieces of dirt...it seemed to me to be all show and no substance. No longer did the royals govern. We were in an age of enlightenment. People were given the rights and freedoms to rule themselves many years ago. Slightly more useful than an appendix. "Tits on a bull". An anachronism from humanity's days living in ignorance and darkness. And what was up with all that  inbreeding ? Centuries, millenia of it. King Tut had numerous genetic defects from sister cousin lovin', and it wasn't a new thing then. Sure nothing was known about genetics, but after a few centuries of physical defects, insanity, all the negative outcomes of inbreeding one would expect that doing one's own Mom...

The Christianity Equation

Back in mid 1999 I experienced Gnosis. Enlightenment. At the end of a bong. I wasn’t looking for it. I wasn’t interested. I’d spent much of my youth extricating myself from Christianity and had no impetus to take on another belief system (which this isn’t, but still I wasn’t interested). I immediately understood that I was God. Just like everyone and everything else. 'God' is a property of existence. I understood that I was a Christ and after a fraction of a second rejected any notion of being Jesus or anything like what I’d learned in Sunday School. This isn’t Highlander. 'Christ' can be considered the equivalent of a martial artist’s black belt. There can be more than one. If I had been raised Buddhist I’d see it from a Buddhist’s perspective. If I’d been raised Muslim, then from a Muslim’s perspective. Prior to enlightenment a process called 'preparing the vessel' is necessary and required. I began this process at the age of 14 in earnest, taking my Sunday Sc...

Wasted Potential

There was a period in my life of 20 years, almost to the day, where my efforts had a positive effect on my life. From March 1983 through April 2003.  I took responsibility for myself overcoming narcissism. I taught myself bass, became proficient, began writing music in 2002. A degree in chemical engineering. A career in IT. World traveller. A Christ. There were about 3 years detrimental to me in there. Clinical depression, what I now see as an assassination attempt and related things took two years. Nearly killed me. Another year lost to lesser things. But for the most part that 20 years was attaining a potential I had no idea I was capable of attaining. Everything outside those 20 years has been me dealing with attempts to control and manipulate my life to my detriment. Deliberate ruination. Wasted potential. All of it done in such a way as to appear to be my doing or just stuff that happens. Narcissism makes you small. As a kid/teen I couldn't imagine actualizing so much potentia...
