Baztek Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 16 minutes ago, Sci-2 said: Ah, so we're talking about the Now of, say, insanely great experiences of sex or eating [or those insane pains that seem to go on forever] rather than an Einstein-esque Block Universe? Yeah. Sex, food, mindfulness, it all makes you more more awake to the Now you inhabit, takes you out of your head to the is-ness or suchness of experience. In this universe it's very blissful. In the Outside, its suchness, is pain and horror. That's why Damnation is so horrifying. It's the very substance of existence having intentionality. Namely, the desire to hurt you.

Frey Filet Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Would any of you kind souls be willing to provide links to the first 10 or so Bakker threads? I've tried and tried using the search engine to no avail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he can help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's this kind of thing that bleeds the horror of the setting out IMO. Too many metaphysical conjectures lumped together in a kind of weird salad.) To me it's about as philosophical as 'A watched pot never boils'. That sense of timelessness.

You said something random about boiling pots and then linked to some random cartoon - hardly proof of comprehension. Happy to say I missed something if you want to write another post that explains in clear terms what you're trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Have we recently talked about Onkhis being used by Shae seemingly as a synonym for the Darkness That Comes Before?: Quote But these were vain questions. They fell away as quickly as Onkhis offered them up, so flimsy were the concerns that moved them. All that mattered, the Ground’s only consequential thing, was what he had seen… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, hey, I agreed and also put forth the idea that Ajokli is not quite a God but a companion to the Gods. Maybe, one of those souls that go on to become a Ciphrang. Basically, Ajokli is not working with the Gods, but has an agenda, ending damnation for his brethren (Nonmen). I started a thread at SA with actual evidence and stuff.

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 @Sci-2, here. ETA: how about a little evidence and some speculation. I'll just say what we know about Ajokli, makes it seem he is not like the other Gods. I, like Locke tried to foster some discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sci-2 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Isn't Ajokli the Trickster that Makes This World? That would make him the God that isn't a God.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
