Status Updates From Hidden Wisdom: Esoteric Tra...

In fact, consider parchments: "After soaking in water to make the skins workable, the skins were placed on a stretching frame. A simple frame with nails would work well in stretching the pelts." Does the crucifixion myth not parallel the parchment method of composing texts denying animal sacrifice era by...sacrificing animals for religious purpose? Similarly as Platonic texts parallel lost-wax casting.

Another relation: According to Irenaeus and others, the scripture is like a body of truth, or at least body of truth. This amounts to an esoteric revelation, by means of inference, that Christ IS the writings of Old Testament and its commentaries, given that Scripture is God's word and the BODY of truth which can be dismembered. It's proof that the body is the text, meant to be destroyed by interpreration.

The big paradox in Clement's exposition of the esoteric strategy of scattering: Why share this method in writing instead of only mentioning it orally to those you trust? It's almost parodical. Clearly this kind of stuff is not what's really secret. But theres a tension: elites need ppl to believe but dont want it, because it makes ppl accidentally happy, so they want to reveal themselves to hurt them but can't. WEIRD

Gnostic texts reveal their esotericism and thus they refuse to be raw matter for those who would find in them a hidden esotericism, in the manner of what Neoplatonics and Romans did to Greek myths. The texts reveal their veil, like Zeuxis when he painted such a realistic looking veil that the other guy tried to unveil the real painting.

the angelic destiny is for matter-outside the demonic matter to join patterns carved on its surface and be heavily attracted by it enough to start boring through the body and ultimately, return to outer matter but with the consistency flow of the demonic matter intact, instead of just being non-identical arrangements of outer matter. Then, in the angelic path, the forms attract outer matter and enlarge to new matters

Traveling sideways in the demonic matter is actually less individualistic and runs the risk of the outside matter that keeps tunneling through the demonic matter being detached from the consistency flow that gave it personality etc. when it bumps into other consistency flow processes and loses form and becomes more drowned in the food-to-excrement/seed-to-child entity. It would ultimately lose identity again.

Put it simply: angels or consistency flows are what other beings do with the demonic matter, which in itself has a character of being seed-to-child and food-to-excrement. They put the consistency flow types on the surface of the matter so that the outside matter of that matter would stick to it and somehow funnel these forms out of the demonic matter to its outside matter: but the price is youll stick to it

The transcendent other is a given, but in what way, exactly? Maybe like this: every particular transformation process is what is actually some single entity, as their transformation is insoluble in lack of identity. Seed-to-child, food-to-excrement - what appears like a process is an entity. Maybe, if consistency flows are angels, then these are demons. So maybe these are the type of matter where the forms are press

"I am the father, mother and the son" Paradoxes of change and the riddle of whether something is two things at the same time at the moment of change are comprehensible only on the ground of a higher being. So, are familial bloodlines then simply singular beings, to explain the fact of birth? In this case, my earlier tunnel theory would have to be edited: is the matter entering the tunnel a whole family history?
