On the relevance of Geometry, "is the Phenomenal world a literal cube?", etc:

The Platonic idea, or at least its typical interpretation, that the Phenomenal world is in part a lesser version of perfect Geometric shapes is dubious to say the least. Rather, consider that their "higher" perfection corresponds to their "lower" instantiation in the sense that one's being, even down to the literal body, is trapped in a Geometric shape that is made perfect by one's effort to escape it: one is engulfed by a perfect sphere by omnidirectionally recoiling therefrom. "Marx is right about everything": the proletariat builds even its own cage. It would thus be insane to reason by and with "proper" Platonic Geometry and wise to attempt Geometric-Metaphoric piracy, so to speak: in the pitiful "schizophrenic" idea of backwardly-cartographing the Phenomenal world as a cube simply because it corresponds to a cross I myself have, in this sense, "died on the cross", I have taken up my most lethal instantiations and intellectually died to them.

It is demonstrable that everyone exists per "fixed" Ontology: the coincidence of the one being born and each individual is a unique event, one being who one is and not being who one is not is axiomatic, no one's parents could reasonably "practice" toward the one being born being or not being any one in particular, no one can become another one. Where and why would "growth" Ontology intervene? What makes you think that one's content is different from one's demonstrably "fixed" form?

GALAXY BRAIN: 7+5=A FATAL MISTAKE. NUMBER IS THE COGNITION OF YALDABAOTH WHEREBY THINGS ARE LITERALLY UNMADE: THE CROSS AS THE PROMINENT MATHEMATICAL INSTRUMENT, THE 1 FORMS THE 0 AS THE NAIL FORMS THE WOUND, THE WHOLE PHENOMENAL WORLD AN INTRUSION INTO THE UNNUMBERED RATIONAL AS THE NAILS DRIVEN IN HIS HANDS AND FEET, THE INFINITY OF NUMBER AS THE ETERNAL DEATH OF "BECOMING" NAILED TO THE PHENOMENAL CROSS MASQUERADING AS "NATURAL REVELATION", THE "HARMONY" OF NUMBER USED TO PERVERSELY CLAIM THAT THE MIND OF GOD ITSELF IS COMPLICIT THEREIN, WHEREAS ANY KIND OF ANALYSIS REVEALS HARMONY TO BE INHERENTLY AND EXCLUSIVELY RATIONAL AND ANY AND EVERY THING IT IS CLAIMED TO "HARMONIZE" TO BE INHERENTLY AND EXCLUSIVELY NUMERIC, I.E. THE LATTER IS A PARASITE.

To elaborate:

The Marxist idea that something only is inasmuch as it is literally sacrificed on the altar of the actual, a radical Demiurgic INTER-, is subjected to a radical INTRA- wherein Cain not so much removes the sacrificial object from the field of the altar but folds the latter with the former still inside of it in on itself which dispels their mutual non-being - the Old Testament is Ontologically identical to nightmares of the "primordial" - and individuates the parties proper: per radical INTRA-, which radical INTER- perfidiously claims to contain but would rather tear itself in half when facing it, the field implodes and the objects explode, the former itself being "objectified", the face of Yaldabaoth is visible now that one is no longer inside his stomach.

Everyone is Ontologically their own. No one can conceive at will.

Occasionalism is more, not less, congruent with Christianity, Aquinas being a Catholic, i.e. an Atheist.

No, it actually is Subjective Idealism but so Subjectively Ideal that it demands you recognize your fellow man as Subjectively Ideal as well, and that you realize neither of you detracts from the other.

"Gnosticism" speaking of women as equal to Man is perhaps the best reason why it is altogether allegorical. It is utterly absurd that one should give a woman anything, identity lending itself to mimicry, to see blindness, to think dimness, to be for what is not, literally to BE NOT.

Reminder that not only do God and Man not contradict each other, but neither do Incarnation and Docetism.

Here.

Jesus subsumes, as usual:

>The Lord said to Salome when she inquired: How long shall death prevail? 'As long as ye women bear children'
>For they say that 'the Savior himself said: I came to destroy the works of the female'.

>The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light

>On this account, therefore, I have not hesitated nor have I been ashamed to call you my brethren and my companions, because ye will be fellow-kings with me in my kingdom. This, therefore, I say unto you, knowing that I will give you the mystery of the Ineffable; that is: That mystery is I, and I am that mystery

Perfection is perfect in all ways. Knowing that you will always return, so to speak, is precisely what gives you the freedom that is likewise free in all ways. It IS it, the determination IS the freedom and the freedom is the determination. What is indeterminate is not free and what is not free is indeterminate.

By the way, you can enter and exit Hell as you please.

The Third Man is a stupid quip. It claims that the One is a negation of plurality, that it is only singular in the vulgar Numerical sense, and that it is a pole opposite of plurality; instead of it being the plenitude from which both singularity and plurality refract.

Relating to Plotinus vs. the Gnostics:

The Problem of Evil in the Gnostic sense suffers from a Dual dishonesty. One one hand Evil is actually qualitatively underestimated in that the tenuous connection between bodily harm and pain is mostly ignored, and the awful realization of "idiopathic" suffering is avoided. On the other hand Good is likewise shied away from in the ignorance of Henosis, and the awesome realization of irresistible salvation is likewise avoided. A perfect example of synthesis by negation and why shouldn't do it, its name being most fitting in light of realizing this. As many and as delirious the avenues of misery, as total and as clear God's triumph over them.

Though Plotinus himself ascertains a fundamental Creator-Creation boundary, and thus a fundamental Dualism whether he admits it or not so...

Overflow, emanation, free will, or "desire to be born" can be subsumed into the simple idea that perfection has nothing to fear, nothing to hide, and neither reason to keep itself to itself, nor means to keep itself from itself even through oblivion.

Perfection is not perfect by exemption from attempts to prove otherwise but in spite of them. Consider creation not as an exceptional act implying a qualitative boundary separating that which creates from that which is created, but the default state in which Self-reflection is free to also refract, for no particular reason other than there being no reason against it. There is nothing to be lost. Consider that abomination is only so within and among refraction, in that it is falsely compared to goods that are likewise lesser than God. Consider that your Voltarian hysteria only denounces, and rightfully so, your own Phenomenal delirium, not your immanent Mind, not God. Consider that the harrowing of pain and terror is only a single facet of the harrowing of illusion.

But books, like all Phenomena, are secondary to the immanent Self.
