  • Book of Thoth…

    …in a random order!

    Starting here: The Devil

    This card is attributed to the letter 'Ayin, which means an Eye, and it refers to Capricornus in the Zodiac. In the Dark Ages of Christianity, it was completely misunderstood. Eliphaz Levi studied it very deeply because of its connection with ceremonial magic, his 4 favourite subject; and he redrew it, identifying it with Baphomet, the ass-headed idol of the Knights of the Temple. But at this time archological research had not gone very far; the nature of Baphomet was  not fully understood. At least he succeeded in identifying the goat portrayed upon the card with Pan.

  • Whole Sort Of General Mish Mash

    WSOGMM

    “… any given universe is not actually a thing as such, but is just a way of looking at what is technically known as the WSOGMM, or Whole Sort of General Mish Mash. The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash doesn’t actually exist either, but is just the sum total of all the different ways there would be of looking at it if it did.

    The reason they [parallel universes] are not parallel is the same reason that the sea is not parallel. It doesn’t mean anything. You can slice the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash any way you like and you will generally come up with something that someone will call home.” Douglas Adams Mostly Harmless, p. 26

  • On Non-Existence

    Gorgias:

    1. Nothing exists;
    2. Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and
    3. Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.
    4. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.
