Just back from Lake Cachuma... Lake?--Aha!

[Glenn Scheper]

Long weekend + 2 vacn days camped at Lake Cachuma.
Bought a trailer on my new Home Depot credit card,
waiting for 'nother new card to arrive to pay bills
that I afu buying the hitch and other camping stuff.
Drove 100 spikes, rose tent city, even a shower tent.
So many propane appliances, I can't say roughin' it.

Now many posts to ponder, deconstruct, reconstruct.
Shouldn't we get college credits for all this?


Cynic Schneider wrote for THE HUMANIST. That's why!

After some long discussion with my dentist, I said,
But that would be humanism. And he clearly proudly
said, "I AM a humanist." These are aggregators of
concensus, peer-repeatable factoids, following the
religion of Cartesian doubt, excluding all that is
numinous, miraculous, abject past 3 std deviations.


> in GR, of course, men loving men is linked to men making war.

I once posted that in wondering how can a man love another man,
I was taken to the cross. Actually, I was taken to a vision of
a male torso with arms outstretched, but cut off just past the
shoulders, and somewhere at waist or legs. Such a man-in-square
icon I have since read is a representation of Mars, god of war.

1. "magicians love mirrors"
2. "In the masonic icon, you have the triangle (male) mounting the square (female),
and the G in the icon stands for God, Geometry, and later, the Generative act."

Lake is a lesbian, and lacks the logos, the male signifier,
the penis, the name, for us to discourse boldly about her.

Hence, she is technically a virgin even after servicing women
in the whorehouses, that idea patent not far elsewhere in ATD.
(Wren near 275?)

How do I know? Because I was planning to reply to this item:

> (2) Sloat has ablutophobia - fear of bathing and washing.

I manifested ablutophobia during just one period of my mental
illness, the period described by the Revelation church Sardis,
which symbol referent is heterosexual coitus with a lesbian.

Before I digress on such symbolic woolgathering, let me wrap
up the matter of the cynical reviewer, and my reading habits.

Displaying some promise in High School, I was interviewed by
the school paper, and asked what I wanted, gave: "To be lazy
and read computer manuals." Lazy was a misnomer of free, and
I guess then, computing appeared to me the pinnacle of human
acheivement, to memorize op-codes and algorithms a holy grail.

I only devoured the hard sciences: math, chemistry, physics.
No novels, no fiction at all, no probability and statistics.
Geography and history was anathema to me. Ahh, number theory.
I wasted my spending money on books about Fourier transforms.

But, after the acute psychosis / metanoia / metamorphosis,
I latched onto the Tao, which made me crazier, then tasted
Carlos Casteneda. Jesus was preached to me. I had thought
religion to be merely a fantasy, as with all mythology.

I took up the KJV, affecting my english expression to the
point that several people have asked me if I was English.
Not enough, I starting reading bible dictionaries, bible
commentaries, and now due to the internet, every thing a
topic query might pull up, sort of a text hamster myself.

So I have little skill to recognize good writing from bad,
but I can tell relevant content from exoteric misprisions.

It was one single freighted sentence found on the Internet
that cause me to seek out GR in B&N, and every glance into
it promised more, as happened in Baudelaire's Fleurs de Mal.
Hence I seek out that esoteric metaphor OBA will not reveal.

Contrariwise, a few lines of Sylvia Plath struck me the same
way, and I bought Bell Jar, but scanning it for her secrets,
I could find nothing translatable into my male hermeneutics.
It's funny Ted&Sylvia Plath came up twice in this ATD area:

Re: AtDTdA: (9) 262-265
> Daddy by: Sylvia Plath

I figure it's the Lesbian tinge. Some would label Dickinson
lesbian, but I find in Emily the purest autocunnilingtress.
Hence she has the full Parnassian talent with male symbols.


                  --- cut here ---


The rest is just the raving of a recovered schizoaffective,
with a handbasket full of symbols still needing sorting out.

My Revelation decoding assumption is that I am that end-time
instance of Lamb who is decribed therein, so that my life is
the code pony to crack the symbols of that book and others.

The manic raving will have to wait until next week,
so much to do at home and at work.

But here are the relevant Revelation passages, FWIW:
These locusts and their attributes are lesbian coitus,
whereas hetero coitus is symbol horses in other phases.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that 
hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou 
hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the 
things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works 
perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and 
hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as 
a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a 
few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall 
walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall 
be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of 
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He 
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them 
that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And 
they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou 
not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes 
were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should 
rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their 
brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: 
and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless 
pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; 
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And 
there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given 
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that 
they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither 
any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be 
tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when 
he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find 
it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of 
the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were 
as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they 
had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And 
they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their 
wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they 
had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their 
power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the 
angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in 
the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. One woe is past; and, behold, there 
come two woes more hereafter.

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his 
kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And 
blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and 
repented not of their deeds.
