1
\n<\/strong>LET ALL THINGS PERISH UTTERLY.<\/p>\n

2
\n<\/strong>It is the same to me where I begin for to that place I shall return.<\/p>\n

3
\n<\/strong>The ignorant call the two ways light and night. They are not. They are doxa<\/em> and alatheia<\/em>. Light and night are doxa<\/em>; alatheia<\/em> beyond both.<\/p>\n

4
\n<\/strong>Heraclitus did not dismiss the world, only its concepts. He dissolved the mighty chains mind fastens on the real. But still saw not beyond the veil.<\/p>\n

5
\n<\/strong>Seeing fundamental ISness is the blade that pierces the veil. ISness grows from the unchanging root that is the bedrock of Being itself.<\/p>\n

6
\n<\/strong>It is the same thing to think and to be. Phenomena peeled back from perception; noumenon, the THOUGHT of all-pervading ISness, undivided and common to all. The way that is revealed when the intellect does not stir.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong>
\nMuch learning does not teach understanding, or else it would have taught professors, wise in their own conceit.<\/p>\n

8<\/strong>
\nThey turn away into their own private worlds. Their opinions children\u2019s playthings.<\/p>\n

9
\n<\/strong>When clouds cloud moon, moon still stands beyond clouds; one, shared and common to all. When doxa <\/em>clouds alatheia<\/em>, alatheia<\/em> is still everywhere near – one, shared and common to all.<\/p>\n

10
\n<\/strong>The way is permanent, steadfast, unconditioned, and eternal. It is the alatheia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

11
\n<\/strong>Doxa,<\/em> alatheia, <\/em>motion. Source of mixed unmixed. \u00a0It is mind that moves phenomenon. The mind still: Liberation.<\/p>\n

12
\n<\/strong>Doxa<\/em>, alatheia, <\/em>no relation, no distinction, one.<\/p>\n

13
\n<\/strong>Jealously guarding their tomb, wishing everything to stay dead.<\/p>\n

14
\n<\/strong>For each, men have posited a distinctive name. By naming, doxa<\/em> swells.<\/p>\n

15
\n<\/strong>Wisdom is both willing and unwilling to be called by the name of Zeus. If willing: Division, distinction, not God. Unwilling, no division, totality, God.<\/p>\n

16
\n<\/strong>When a god begins to know, he is an ignoramus.<\/p>\n

17
\n<\/strong>Mummifying the medium, the message ignored.<\/p>\n

18
\n<\/strong>In their ignorance they are by nature quarrelsome.<\/p>\n

19
\n<\/strong>LIGHTNING STEERS EVERYTHING. ISness unveiled – phenomena, forms, and conditions are null. Alatheia<\/em>, no thought, but thinker. LIGHTNING STEERS EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n

20
\n<\/strong>The alatheia<\/em> knows itself and therefore knows the doxa<\/em>. So to meet this<\/em> way is to learn of ALL things. Alatheia<\/em>, the<\/em> removal of the veil.<\/em><\/p>\n

21
\n<\/strong>Doxa<\/em> is none other than alatheia<\/em>, but the doxa<\/em> does not know.<\/em> The doxa<\/em> is already the alatheia<\/em> in this now, DIVISIONLESS. Do not say of alatheia <\/em>that it is true, for that is to imply that it is NOT UNTRUE<\/em>.\u00a0 There must be perfect non-divisiveness in your mind, or your mind will never reach the alatheia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

22
\n<\/strong>The mind’s epiphanies are the moments of true seeing. Everything else is the veil.<\/p>\n

23
\n<\/strong>Separate, even Plato’s forms are doxa,<\/em> their ideality unreal.<\/p>\n

24
\n<\/strong>Alatheia<\/em> is no state or thing, nor concept. It cannot be grasped, nor had, nor attained, nor conceived. No book imparts it, no logic points towards it. For nature loves to hide.<\/p>\n

25
\n<\/strong>Heidegger should be flogged and expelled from the competition.<\/p>\n

26
\n<\/strong>Parmenides speaks of ways, but there are no ways. Worst of all are those who form the image of a road and do not see that the road up and the road down is one and the same.<\/p>\n

27
\n<\/strong>When Parmenides was born in the East, he said: \u201cWhen you do not think Light and you do not think Night, what is the true nature of Being?\u201d<\/p>\n

28
\n<\/strong>The one, how IT IS and how it is not possible for IT not to be.<\/p>\n

29
\n<\/strong>Parmenides: Gaze steadily with mind on what is absent and on what is present.
\nHeraclitus: I SEARCHED MYSELF.<\/p>\n

30
\n<\/strong>When Heraclitus saw phenomena with mind, he saw them as impermanent and non-distinct. Parmenides saw only mind with mind. There were no phenomena at all.<\/em><\/p>\n

31
\n<\/strong>When clouds reveal the moon, the moon does not come into being. When clouds conceal the moon, the moon does not cease to be. Therefore in alatheia <\/em>there is no coming-to-be and no ceasing-to-be, no seen or unseen, no clear or clouded, no light and no night. To understand this is to be carried as far as your spirit might reach.<\/p>\n

32
\n<\/strong>There is no light, and nor any ceasing or end of light.
\nThere is no night, and nor any ceasing or end of night.<\/p>\n

33<\/strong>
\nThey removed their veils from their faces as they left the abode of Night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
