Note 5

The purpose of numbers is to divide the whole.
Never forget that there is only one number.



The ancient Greeks once believed our universe originated from a silver egg. The primeval god Phanes ("First-born") whose father was Aion, (also known as Chronos, "Time") was considered to be the hermaphroditic divinity of procreation. Phanes was known as The Revealer—having first entered our creation as light itself. He shone forth as the First-Born radiating all with love. He was described as a hidden, brilliant scion with a whirring motion, who flapped his wings to scatter the darkness away, thus manifesting pure light. He was depicted as being entwined with a serpent, and as having wings. He may be the father of dragons. He was once married to Nyx ("Night")—together they presided over day and night—establishing a unity of opposites. The Greek philosopher Aristophanes named him Eros, and there is a suggestion that Nyx was also his mother, and that she along with Erebus ("Darkness") were borne of Chaos—the primeval void—the first thing which existed before light. Eventually Phanes became known as Dionysus, representing wine, madness, and fertility. Much of this ancient information has been blurred gradually over human generations. We may dimly perceive that "Father Time" and his consort "Destiny" were both serpentine in form. This accounts for the Orphic Egg being entwined with a serpent. In conclusion, the one detail whose nature has been forgotten over the tides of time, is the telling description of the egg as being made of "silver." It remains the solitary clue winking at us from the buried darkness of history. In my view, it hints at the future itself as being the stage upon which our progenitors (reflected in a mirror darkly) most likely will have established the paradoxical interactions which have resulted in the ineffable harmony of a permanently established eternity now literally set in stone. The silver may be a hint that the elder primeval gods' progeny—ourselves—may end up having to accept the divine scepter passed on down through the generations in order to ensure the Orphic Egg is maintained from our technology. The essential difference between techno- and mythology amounts to the difference between weaving and speaking. Thus ends my woven tale in silence before your eyes in the form of language. Our ancient myths were stories our ancestors came up with to explain the mystery of their existence. Today our technology itself should pave the road with precious metals which will lead us on toward reestablishing the original egg or even the chaotic void itself—in either case resulting in the continued establishment of this mystical silver egg from which everything continues to hatch into corporeality.

Note 9

We must all strive to share a mutual perspective on the fecundity of the question "Is there any such thing as alien life?"  If our own ideas of where we stand on the great cosmic scale of existence were to expand themselves to consider our home as being merely identified as the greater set of the entire universe, then all life within said parameters might suddenly become not so alien to us, after all.   We should each be able to see that the question of whether or not there is alien life out there and what it might be are indeed two separate and thorny questions, and our situation here seems to be in the habit of lumping them together as if they were one and the same question.  Ah,  "To be, or not to be..." When we participants of this discussion all agree to stick with the spirit of the question, and then decide we mean any sentient species that happens to exist upon other planets , we put ourselves in the position wherein we may necessarily exclude the t...

note 12

To implement inversion tactics ( counterintuition ) start at any base level.  For instance, we think of the universe as being enormous, therefore it must really be the size of a singular pinpoint: an atom, perhaps (for example).  We feel the vastness of space all about us with galaxies whirling into the deep far distances until presumably (according to the unflinching stare of the Hubble lens) we've glimpsed almost as far back as the beginning of time to what we think of as the Big Bang; therefore:  no space exists at all and this thing we're seeing remains inside us, fixed in absolute stillness, and what we're observing  is more likely forward to the ends of the multiverse which may resemble something more along the lines of a sudden embodiment.  The thing to understand is that speculation along these lines, while it may appear to amount to an exercise in futility—due to the  apparent  necessity of  continuing  to flip the inversions—th...

Note 2

Think of a magnet. Imagine countless iron filings. Consider each iron filing as representing a universe. Now think about what we know of quantum mechanics. Take a moment to realize its inherent counter-intuitiveness. Understand that we each actually create our own realities. Ask yourselves:  what is your own reality, if not a universe unto itself? Think about how we must each individually die alone. What is this planet we all dwell on, if not a giant magnet ? Who are we individually — if not avatars from our own separate domains Intermingling here in concert together A symphonic reality converging our separate personal worlds Commingling right here and now into what appears to us as One. Welcome to the Multiverse .  You are hearing me tell you this because We have just made extra-terrestrial contact . Think about this the next time you talk to anyone. Because we all manage to cross space and time With every interaction here on Earth — And ac...
