Gnostic table overturned

Dave, sorry about the confusion.  

*Gnostic*, is a Greek word, and it  will do, sort of like
the word "Khora" in Derrida's PP. I only say this because
poison/medicine, "which do you want it to be?", is a waste
of your time. The White Queen is talking backwards and you
are better off, as your posts prove, feeding your head
elsewhere. 
 

Speaking of which, the other day, speaking of the gnostic
universes, the demiurges, the cosmic dramas in P's novels, I
mentioned the Timaeus.  In Jacques Derrida's essay, "Plato's
Pharmacy"   he talks about the Timaeus.  

I've been a bigot 
a straw man
a dressed up argument
a fool and a king
I've been inside is outside is inside again
and I only know one thing
you can't read, that is write, flat on your face,
so don't waste your time getting your pawns in the white
queen's space. 



Happy Holidays, see you all in 2001,   

Terrance
