Don't you think that the gods might have something to do with the
extent that you are able to imagine something. If you invoke Mercury
don't you think that that intelligence can offer you a vista that you
may not have been aware of.
The gods may be of great assistance to catapult our minds into a larger
context of being.
I mean more than a notion of co-creation but of actual assistance on
the level of showing a more detailed image than your simple
consciousness might conceive.
I thought of this today after I finished listening to Mark Joyner's
audio file and taking the short test. (The tests are actually pretty
funny.) I think this is a good technique but I do not see the need to
banish the gods.
You know I like to give you a hard time. We are just opposite
polarities of the same battery.
See you on the Neuroboards, Mr. Titan.
