This snippet of text had a great resonance with me:

I dropped violin mead hillock on google, got garbage.

I dropped Buck Mulligan, and find out it is Ulysses,
a text I avoided since it's design principle was to
keep literary theorists busy for the next 100 years.

But this sequence is clearly that of the meditator
and autofellator who is trying to raise a spector
of a target coital partner into his bed at night,
a paradigm unknown but to the abject few, like P,
the core secret he elaborates without revealing.

I did surf4me on "Buck Mulligan", got 590 files.
I did surf4me on "James Joyce Ulysses", got 593.
After distillation, 220 web pages, 1 Mb to read.
I'll report here as I come up to speed on JJ' U.


Speaking of Mb and mysteries, I'm halfway through
this 1 Mb URL that quotes more Bible doubters and
revisionist than I knew existed, after bristling
at the promise to show Egyptian origins are from
the Druids (more northerly Prophet of the North?)
I settled into it, and like it. The gist I get is
of two sides: a nice doctrine postponing rewards,
and a domineering gain-during-finite-life doctrine,
warring through the ages. Even mentions capitalism.

The Bible is a compilation of numerous Occidental and Oriental pagan doctrines. 
Its compilation was commissioned by the chiefs of the Solar Cult (Atonists) 
situated in Rome, to galvanize their empire and maintain control over the minds 
of the mass of illiterate and superstition-ridden human beings under their 
dominion. Dominion over men and over the world was what it was all about, and 
little has changed when it comes to this agenda.

One of the main pernicious ideologies promoted and broadcast by the Church and 
by their Bible concerns the nature of hierarchy. Hierarchy replaced Holarchy as 
an ontological paradigm and world view after the advent of orthodox 
Christianity. It is this major modification of philosophy, more than any other 
factor, which separates Christianity from its Druidic origins.

Of course, when he finally gets to the most ancient
Druid origins and stops, I'll say the author didn't
know that core secret of the God-Man, that P knows.
