                 Michael Bailey: 
                 it's nice to hear from someone who 
                 was closer to the motherlode of it. 

"Motherload"---is to laugh. . . .
My Mutha is a pantload.

                 There was something.  It's probably 
                 still around, but maybe in a different form? 

Maybe, possibly, sorta. . . .

                 Maybe it was always there....maybe 
                 it has to do with the Gaia thing...

See, it's so obvious, it's stupid.

Hippies = Witches.

Full-blown, with the top off. You know, Like Geli ! ! !
Like Zoyd ! [who doesn't seem to know he's a shaman, but he is.]
Like Count Drugula ! ! ! 
Mas, Mas y Mucho Mas ! ! !

You know, the Good Guys! 
Leastaways, in OBA's novels.

Again, If evah, I wish to point out a simple historical fact, a fact that 
constantly gets buried. Revisionist history is OBA's metier and with 
very good reason. Look at the paths Our Beloved Author chose to 
travel on, look at the history of religion and religious wars, read the 
text of Tallis' setting, look at the History of William Pynchon, founder 
of Springfield and first WASP to be exiled within what was to become 
the united states [ha!]. Heretics---a mammoth part of the Pynchon 
family history throughout---Exiles, stealth and silence, heading out 
for the frontiers, remembering family ways, carring them to the new 
promised land, the fulfillment of millenial enterprise and the myth of 
the ever expanding frontier, the fundemental hullucination of all 
Capitalist enterprise. And who resisted Empire, and who always 
resists empire?

The Heretics.

     My understanding is that Thomas Pynchon's family tree is full of heretics. 
     My reading of the author's writings indicates that Mr. Pynchon's
     literary output is profoundly heretical, and requires understanding
     of some rather occult goings on. Some of the pages of GR are
     either quotes from or magical actions derived from A.E. Waite's
     book of black magic. My advice is that you should proceed with
     extreme caution


     Friend Tom:
     I take your advice to heart. Thank you so much for the reminder. 
     I will make sure to have a copy of the Bible with me whenever 
     I dare touch the Gravity book or any of Mr. Pynchon's works for 
     that matter. 

     As for the other responders to my introduction, I thank you for 
     your well-intentioned but sometimes harsh words. I will make 
     a special place for you in my prayers tonight:

     * Why did I pick Mr. Pynchon's list? Because our pastor 
     mentioned him as a beacon luring unsuspecting college 
     students onto the rocks. If any of you are in school, please 
     examine your consciences and pray for guidance. I will do likewise. 

     * Why Howard Stern? Everyone knows he is, well, just the 
     most terrible, corrupting, decadent influence on radio. Look 
     at what he did: slithered out to satellite range where the FCC 
     couldn't get at him. He thought he could go out there and spread 
     his nastiness and decadence without any interference from the 
     good people of this country? Oh no, not so. We are keeping 
     track of him and praying for his salvation. 

     * I don't count things on The Simpsons so I can't help the person 
     who asked. I only mention the show because it is actually a 
     Christian-friendly message, and Mr. Pynchon knew it full well 
     when he made his appearance in 2004. Everyone would agree 
     that he's pretty smart, yes? Do any of you doubt for a 


                                         nanosecond 


     that he failed to understand the Christian interpretation 
     of the show on which his bagged head appeared? Not a chance. 

Nota bene. . . .

     * I mentioned that I know a lot because I've been studying this 
     Pynchon Phenomenon for many days now, even a week or 
     longer if the truth be told. Someone responded that that was 
     like saying a few days of study would make him a Bible scholar. 
     Thank you for pointing that out. I am ashamed of myself for my 
     lack of humility. You see, yes, I am a sinner. I need the Lord's 
     forgiveness as much as any of you, probably more. I can only 
     try to be good but I know I will fail again and again. It is a constant 
     struggle. 

     * Remember that God loves you and He wants you to have a Merry 
     Christmas. And a Happy New Year.

That heresy, in case you never read any Pynchon, is the heresy of 
inclusion, the heresy of the Unitarians, one of the more visible aspects 
of the New England Transcendentalist movement. That's where our boy 
Tom really is coming from, last of the red hot transcendentalists, sic
transit gloria dentistry. FWIW, I assume the Bugs Bunny asana as often 
as possible.

Anyway, I haven't even got to part two yet. . . .
