Well, soon enough. Time to plant the holy barley next thursday,

Why darkness? I see the different viewpoint all right, but do not
know that it is darker except that it is so unexplored.

There may be a difference between the Aryan and the Semite that's
worth thinking about that relates to this personal/impersonal view
of existence. Zeus, for instance, is like a town mayor, limited a
bit by his constituency in Olympia, and so aloof he does not care
all that much what all mankind does, much less you personally. A
Semite however, sees himself in direct relation to God, a voter,
if you will- who God cares about. Of course, the Aryan is then in
a free state to do as he sees fit, having no heavenly orders to do
otherwise... as in 'God's will'.
The Semite is an egocentric vision, whereas the Aryan is more of a
realist, an existentialist, and an adult, responsible to himself.
Of course, he would not ask for Zeus' help when in a jam, and the
credit or blame is all his own.
DM> FORGOTTEN MEMORY: "cryptomnesia"
DM> There is a great deal made of "forgotten memory" and that such
DM> memory
DM> is mixed with "present memory" and "historical memory [genetic?]"
Damn good question. The Semites seem to have been a small race
in a place that was constantly overrun, whereas the Aryans were
a populous race from a large area that did a lot of overrunning.
I can see where the former learned to accept the will of outside
forces, whereas the latter learned to cope with the exercise of
the will, and accept the responsibility for action- 'The buck
stops here'.
Given the evidence of the Spartan eugenics experiment started by
Lycurgus, only seven generations will produce profound effects,
and with the above, we have hundreds.
DM> I might note that the picture of J on the back cover is one of

Love to see it, but hold on a while; planning to change my email

DM> NOTE: ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER (S)-- ESSAY on "Spirit Seeing" (1851)
DM> : PASSING NOTE of possible interest you've probably already read-
DM> (Was not available or even mentioned in my library)-
Havnt read him since the sixties either. heard a guy on PBS radio
talking about a book in which he reports on the pretty wide group
of studies which show statistical significance in some psychic
phenomena, challenging the a priori skepticism of scientists who
have not actually looked at all the data.
DM> ...his personal experiences
DM> derived from and into the Greek mysteries. In 1913, during such
DM> trancing, he was initiated into a most ancient of mystery cults...
DM> "the Mithric Deification" "Deus Leontocephalus".
I think this is Persian, not Greek. The Greek mystery religion was
pretty much destroyed by Justinian and the Byzantines, whereas the
Persian remained outside the Byzantine empire long enough to leave
traces in Afganistan, India, and Turkestan. Nevertheless, I would
love to see what he had to say.
DM> Though warm to the acquisition of
DM> "knowing", self deification is still a bit strong for me. Jung
DM> wrote so much that it would seem a lifetime effort to read...
Self deification as a Semite God is a long stretch to reach the
awful awesome autocrat; but to reach the God who is propmaster of
the universe is duck soup. Like any craftsman, he will be glad
of the company, happy to show you around the shop, and pleased if
you wish to take up the trade.
DM> Also! I know you have read extensively and that much of what I
DM> present may be "ol stuff" .....if so my feelings won't be hurt!
Hopefully, i am not the only one to read it, and it may well not
be new to them! even so, am always glad to be reminded, for what
I have read is, unfortuneately, much more than what I remember.
