.Hecalled the personality in him living in another century and at another place "Thomas.""Thomas," Fat told me, "is smarter than I am, and he knows more than I do.Of the two of usThomas is the master personality." He considered that good; woe unto someone who has an evil orstupid other-personality in his head!I said, "You mean once you were Thomas.You're a reincarnation of him and you remembered himand his -- ""No, he's living now.Living in ancient Rome now.And he is not me.Reincarnation has nothing todo with it.""But your body," I said.Fat stared at me, nodding."Right.It means my body is either in two space-time continuasimultaneously, or else my body is nowhere at all."Entry #14 from the tractate; The universe is information and we are stationary in it, notthree-dimensional and not in space or time.The information fed to us we hypostatize into thephenomenal world.Entry # 30, which is a restatement for emphasis: The phenomenal world does not exist; it is ahypostasis of the information processed by the Mind.Fat had scared the shit out of me.He had extrapolated entries #14 and #30 from his experience,inferred them from discovering that someone else existed in his head and that someone else was livingin a different place at a different time -- two thousand years ago and eight thousand miles away.We are not individuals.We are stations in a single Mind.We are supposed to remain separatefrom one another at all times.However, Fat had received by accident a signal (the golden fish sign)intended for Thomas.It was Thomas who dealt in fish signs, not Fat.If the girl hadn't explained themeaning of the sign, the breakdown of compartmentalization would not have occurred.But she didand it did.Space and time were revealed to Fat -- and to Thomas! -- as mere mechanisms ofseparation.Fat found himself viewing a double exposure of two realities superimposed, and Thomasprobably found himself doing the same.Thomas probably wondered what the hell foreign languagewas happening in his head.Then he realized it wasn't even his head:"There's someone else living in me and he's not in this century." That was Thomas thinking that,not Fat.But it applied to Fat equally.But Thomas had the edge over Fat, because, as Fat said, Thomas was smarter; he was the masterpersonality.He took over Fat, switched him off wine and onto beer, trimmed his beard, had troublewith the car.but more important, Thomas remembered -- if that is the word -- other selves, one inMinoan Crete, which is from 3000 b.c.e.to 1100 b.c.e., a long, long time ago.Thomas evenremembered a self before that: one which had come to this planet from the stars.Thomas was the ultimate non-fool of Post Neolithic times.As an early Christian, of the apostolicage; he had not seen Jesus but he knew people who had -- my God, I'm losing control, here, trying towrite this down.Thomas had figured out how to reconstitute himself after his physical death.All theearly Christians knew how.It worked through anamnesis, the loss of amnesia which -- well, thesystem was supposed to work this way: when Thomas found himself dying, he would engram himselfon the Christian fish sign, eat some strange pink -- the same pink color as in the light which Fat hadseen -- some strange pink food and drink from a sacred pitcher kept in a cool cupboard, and then die,and when he was reborn, he would grow up and be a later person, not himself, until he was shown thefish sign.He had anticipated this happening about forty years after his death.Wrong.It took almost twothousand years.In this way, through this mechanism, time was abolished.Or, put another way, the tyranny of deathwas abolished.The promise of eternal life which Christ held out to his little flock was no hoax.Christ had taughtthem how to do it; it had to do with the immortal plasmate which Fat talked about, the livinginformation slumbering at Nag Hammadi century after century.The Romans had found and murderedall the homoplasmates -- all the early Christians crossbonded to the plasmate; they died, the plasmateescaped to Nag Hammadi and slumbered as information on the codices.Until, in 1945, the library was discovered and dug up -- and read.So Thomas had to wait -- notforty years -- but two thousand; because the golden fish sign wasn't enough.Immortality, the abolitionof time and space, comes only through the Logos or plasmate; only it is immortal.We are talking about Christ.He is an extra-terrestrial life form which came to this planetthousands of years ago, and, as living information, passed into the brains of human beings alreadyliving here, the native population.We are talking about interspecies symbiosis.Before being Christ he was Elijah.The Jews know all about Elijah and his immortality -- and hisability to extend immortality to others by "dividing up his spirit." The Qumran people knew this.Theysought to receive part of Elijah's spirit."You see, my son, here time changes into space [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
