Replying to Avatar Loki

Yes, and it gives plenty of references to all kinds of things, probably number one sources are The Book of Enoch and Vishnu Purana.

I learned about the book from Mark Jeftovich, the former DNS internet rich entrepreneur who turned cRyPtO influencer and last year when the shit went down swore off shitcoins and turned bitcoin-only. I don't get his newsletter emails often but the one that contained a section from Apocalypse is one of the most heavy going parts of the book, discussing the history of the human sacrifice/blood drinking/pedophilia/torture stuff.

My stuff about the neurological basis of psychopathy is purely my own hypothesis, but derived from many little bits and pieces, notably Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary, Peter Carroll, Jan Fries, Wilhelm Reich, and other developmental psychologists (I think Maslow) who all make some reference in their theories to the stages of development of psychology, and its connection to the nervous system, psychological/physical/sexual trauma, cults, brainwashing and mind control.

I suspect very strongly that the thing that makes us human, as opposed to animals, is not our ability to use tools or language, but our empathy. Without this circuit operating - it's a high level variation on the mimicking/mirror reflex behaviour you see in especially apes, and in a primordial form in canine, feline and the intermediary, lemurs and monkeys - a human has no connection to "spirit", which makes the person liable to exploit this limitation by manipulating and exploiting humans who do have it.

I had an awakening experience relating to this, a kind of drug induced shamanic vision of a shadow being who hid in the background of my mind, and for the first time I saw it, like seeing a cockroach, but like a ghost, I was able to hold it in my vision for a moment, and then my attention drifted and it slunk out of sight.

I know it is still attached to me, but it's no longer invisible to me, and I recognise its actions in my mind now. I wish I could purge it completely. It's a representation of the trauma programs I had inflicted in my childhood.

Oh, I forgot the Hermes Trimagestus stuff. Corpus Hermetika.

I'm still reading Enoch right now, and have Hermetika on my list next, I must get a copy of Vishnu Purana.

Ahhhh, I had a fleeting feeling that this sounded Gnostic in description. Couldn't tell earlier.

Do you have any experience with The Kybalion? Which book would you say has a better Philosophical explanation, as opposed to stories or historical accounts?

That is another name less prominent but on the list further down. I think my friend also mentioned it, I can't remember.

I don't know any detail of Kybalion, I thought it was "Kabalion" as in kabbalah, but Kyb- as the root makes more sense.

As far as it goes, there is good basis for the hypothesis that Enoch and Hermes being one and the same. I think also the same individual was known in other cultures as Thoth, there is probably a version in most ancient texts somewhere. The dude was the great grandfather of Noah, his first son was Methuselah, and two more generations led to Noah.

You'll learn more from Apocalypse than my hazy details, but I think also these books are important. I am going to search for a good epub version of Kybalion too, and I'll be hosting these files on my git. I prefer EPUB format, it's basically a html file inside a zip, and adapts to any format you have a device to render it on.

I'll be adding these to my git once I get the bastid thing up and running...

I'm familiar enough with the kind of text-mangling that transits a document from history, to legend, to myth. There's even an episode of Doctor Who in which a similar scenario is played out, with his assistant, tarzan-girl Leela, where he talks about how the story gets mangled into a seeming fiction, or at best, a pure abstraction as in "philosophical". That one had a particularly good word for it, if I remember correctly, an expression that I think would be useful for anyone wanting to dig at the reality behind these ancient texts.

I don't believe that any of these texts were originally as primitive and fairy-tale like in their original text, just that the scribes and translators had variously degraded concept maps to carry the narrative into their own language.

I mean, how would you explain the operation of a rocket or gun to someone who barely understands the use of blades?
