[ If you feel this is 'rambling' -- i.e. implicit nonsense not worth reading, to you -- then stop reading it. 'Rambling' is just a subjective opinion of a god without the interest or depth to appreciate a thinker's endless examination; a limited god who would be better off being a cabinetmaking god or anything other than a thinking god. I'm writing this for me; it's only 'for you' if you dig it, my dear god. ]

I've been claiming to be a philosopher, but I'm evolving beyond philosophy and have probably never been a philosopher. Philosophy as it is known has always been too restrictive for me as a free thinker. It seems I'm "breaking the imaginary boundaries of being a philosopher'" because of my Self-Love, as Love knows no boundaries. I'm breaking out, evolving into 'a pillar of a caterpillar'. 'He was a pillar of a caterpillar' was my fave saying in high school.

I'll refer to myself as a human being now, not as a philosopher. A human being whose focus is on the metaphysical or transcendental: esoterica and the occult.

My piece in the metaphysics forum, 'Identifying evil and the dead', hasn't had any response. I wasn't looking for any particular response, but the response the piece did get, 'no response', is quite interesting.

Is it that gods are seeing the title and, a bit fearfully, 'whistling past the graveyard'?

The subject is true occult that I discovered myself. The dead are all around us; most of us just can't 'see' them.

At two other forums (from one of which I had to get outta town fast as a posse of 'gods pretending to be egalitarian' was after me) -- the response to my 'dead piece' was fairly normal. The most interesting thing I learned at the two forums was a confirmation of the concept of 'designer religion', i.e. choosing a religion on the basis of how it supports a follower by not having any doctrine supporting anything they are afraid of, and which seems related to "gangster 'religion'" (i.e. just gangsterism) in which some passage or doctrine can be misinterpreted to suit the insane agenda of the gangsters.

It seems that ye gods at Philosophy Now forum may not be ready to accept the dead or give them a thought. I understand that. But as Lao Tzu said, 'Ignoring knowledge is sickness'.

My intention is never to scare people, but my writing does scare people. I tell the truth, people are scared of it. It's generally true that most people are scared of the truth of anything. Knowing the truth suggests responsibility, and most people don't want responsibility either. These are 'gods pretending to be people scared of the truth'.

Perhaps I'm intimidating ye gods somehow. No need to be scared of me; I'm just a god like you. The 'no response' is so quiet, and it's a great response coz it makes me think, and write, which I love to do. I used to put my wives to sleep with my voice; now I put gods to sleep with my writing. I'm a good sandman anyway. Nice to be good for something.

I even miss the comments from gods pretending to be wise one-line wits exalting themselves. Where are these sacred gods when one needs them?

From my quick acceptance here at Now, I inferred that Mr. Rick Lewis and his associates are fairly open-minded. Unless I'm experiencing a dream too good to be true and may soon be 'shot at dawn', I assert that all here are fairly blessed.

One god here said to another god that 'We are hypocrites'. Great admission; took courage. It becomes clearer than most here are not philosophers -- whatever that is -- I suspect that Pythagoras, Plato and Aristotle may have been the last three philosophers who have ever lived -- but just gods who need to socialize, babble about anything, and maybe, once in a long time, gain some insight into Life. It's all good. Nice to have company in my unbelievable solitude as a thinker who has 'GONE WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE', my trekker gods. Most could be called 'Lifeologists', 'those who want to discuss Life'. Lifeologists were there around 600 BC, but the 'transcendental big three' drew out a number of transcendalists who lived then. I could be accused of encouraging gods to pretend they are Lifeologists.

All the endless classifications I can see now are actually evil in that they divide us from each other and produce evil ego-defensive debate, argument and intolerance.

I'm just calling myself a human being from now on. My philosopher days, if I ever was one, are past. Human beings are rare and special, though, because they are spiritual beings having knowledge or intuition of the Divine.

My new term for myself, 'human being', is a mark of distinction. I am privileged to be a human being, and thank God I'm an American!

Mind may err, but never so Reason.

THE WRITER: (is discussed in the third person)

~ is a sharer who shares through the written Word accompanied by Love. Sharer roughly equates with 'teacher', a misnomer he rejects as meaningless.

~ is a secular adherent of the Wisdom of Christ, Lao Tzu, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Spinoza, The Dhammapada, and the Chandogya Upanishad, and an inclusive eclectic pantheistic metempsychosic lapsarian Number human being that chooses mental freedom as distinct from the mental slavery of the professed philosophers.

~ mourns the death of the transcendental philosophy that thrived 2500 years ago and which included gnosis, metempsychosic revelation, physiognomy and qualitative number.

~ does not read others' writing in depth ... writes original metaphysics based on esoterica and the occult.

~ obtained Qualitative Number from false prophets at 19; a scandal emerged 40 years later evincing the bad karma of false prophecy from their incomplete teaching; as he was always more an observer than a member, the ruinous bad karma didn't affect him so much.

~ after realizing a dangerous knowledge years ago, (which along with Number forms true prophecy), noticed it 'hidden in plain sight' in the teachings of Hinduism (and other religions, but most apparent in Hinduism), and enjoys the challenge of sharing whatever Truth he deems to be discreetly shareable online, and concealing the rest.

~ was compelled by experiences with the dead to become an authority on evil and the spiritually dead, who are blameless victims of bad karma compelled to do evil.

~ since his teens has been guided by a soul that knew he had to be prevented from a fate worse than death; writes solely out of Love and Compassion, avoiding the sin of mercenariness.

~ has had 3 wives; did office work for 30 years; was a white hat hacker; was a blues guitarist-singer-bandleader; now sings operatic arias; vegetarian; no substances ever; former porn fan for 50 years (saw a black abyss waiting); exercise and breathing nut; frequently uses himself to illustrate a point, aware that the false prophets reveal little of themselves for fear of losing business. Confucius said, 'The proud man is not dignified, and the dignified man is not proud'.

~ is a comedian. Out of compassion for the humorless who need to be left in peace, he tries not to use humor. He'll try to conduct himself accordingly, but he can't promise anything. The humorous and the dead serious are a disaster together, but he has learned from the example of Pythagoras - who was definitely a comedian -- to limit humor in a studious environment because of its disruptive disharmony with solemn reflection upon the deadly serious topics of Life and philosophy, which are basically one subject.

~ has a concept of Truth and Love which equates with the Taiji, Truth representing Yang or the masculine 1 quality's inspiring vibrational power, and Love being feminine Yin's 2 quality, a unifying, restful but lifting force that with the Truth creates Life or beings symbolized by: the 3 quality, the third realm, or the Taiji in this concept; the child; or Wisdom (3 or Spiritual Life as a merging of 1 = positive Spirit and 2 = negative mind).

MY FOOTER:

This is my 'thought song'. I'm singing it out of Self-Love for my self and my Self, not for your self and Self; however, if you like it, then it is for your two selves. When you're done listening, then it may be time for your 'thought song'. Let's hear your song. Nobody should judge a song; a song is for listening to and reflecting upon. A song is for the singer unless we like it, then 'it's ours' too. Self-Love is not selfish -- it's the love of God in one's Self.
