He's got a lot on for someone who doesn't *KNOW*.
I auto-fe11ated myself, producing direct gnosis,
a speech act which was itself, resulting in the
parousia, and a psychosis like shown in Hamlet.
This, like Zeus begetting Athena from his head,
fully armed for war, like Hamlet's geist-father,
because everydayness has occulted such an entity.
It is only in reading between the lines, mining
pun and polysemy, speaking in tongues of angels,
that one can recover the occult thread woven in
all exoteric myth, and find out who One such is.
"Dedicated" is anathema, a word which commonly
is only remembered as "cursed" for the exoteric
world cannot find a distinction between the God
and Evil in all that is numinous, and fears all.
Had I merely fe11ated myself, I would be well
received, Jesus said, "coming in his own name";
But by an innocent originary wet-drean-in-navel
I grandfathered the father, hence I "come in my
Father's name", being the impossible causa sui.
Now the satanic mimicry uses incest to acheive
the name-of-the-father in the infant, that son
of perdition. The first and second Jesus differ
in just that Jesus said, "I go unto the father".
It's easy looking for a facile ontology to see
in the Jews perpetual dropped-stitch pedeasty.
But rather, the circumcision is what mars His
causa sui, entangling it with His pre-existant
paternity, that promise by faith unto Abraham.
Augustine - makes me laugh, no, sneer, jeer,
when I see Saint attached to his name. He's so
at fault, losing gnosis for many generations.
Yours truly,
