Jeff, I distinctly remember one by MaryK, sharing with us some of her knowledge on the origins of the word, "Maitreya", and my post thanking her for that and commenting on my Phillip K. Dick fandom concerning his novels and short stories. Am "I" on the wrong thread here? Some of the posts could have been "cross-threaded" in reference to some other topic. I was here at R.I. last night from about 6:30 'til 9:00pm, reading and word-farting. Who knows(?); but that seems to be an awful long chunk of time for "no one" to post on this most interesting thread.<br> <p></p><i></i>

I'm trying to locate more of his Exgesis<br><br>some quotes from an interesing article<br><br><br>..The (golden) fish sign causes you to remember. Remember what?...Your celestial origins; this has to do with the DNA because the memory is located in the DNA...You remember your real nature...The Gnostic Gnosis: You are here in this world in a thrown condition, but are not of this world...<br><br>......today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups...unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power.[1<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ..<br><br>from this article<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.techgnosis.com/pkdnet.html">www.techgnosis.com/pkdnet.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I was curious about PKD's recurring claims that the Roman Empire had never ended. Is there historical evidence that someone could site that shows some measure of the Roman Empire staying in power, but hidden? Or do you think it's metaphorical, the US imperial empire being much like that of the Romans?<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>If you get down to it, you can pretty much see a direct lineage between the U.S. and the Roman Empire. They certainly use the same symbols, such as the eagle. You even have a dumb massive population. <p></p><i></i>

Traces of Dick's Exgesis<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://deoxy.org/pkd_tcs.htm">deoxy.org/pkd_tcs.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>...ON OUR NATURE. It is proper to say: we appear to be memory coils (DNA carriers capable of experience) in a computer-like thinking system which, although we have correctly recorded and stored thousands of years of experiental information, and each of us possesses somewhat different deposits from all the other life forms, there is a malfunction—a failure—of memory retrieval . There lies the trouble in our particular subcircuit. "Salvation" through gnosis—more properly anamnesis (the loss of amnesia)—although it has individual significance for each of us—a quantum leap in perception, identity, cognition, understanding, world- and self-experience, including immortality—it has greater and further importance for the system as a whole, inasmuch as these memories are data needed by it and valuable to it, to its overall functioning.<br><br>Therefore it is in the process of self-repair, which includes: rebuilding our subcircuit via linear and orthogonal time changes, as well as continual signaling to us to stimulate blocked memory banks within us to fire and hence retrieve what is there.<br><br>The external information or gnosis, then consists of disinhibiting instructions, with the core content actually intrinsic to us—that is, already there (first observed by Plato; viz: that learning is a form of remembering).<br><br>The ancients possessed techniques (sacraments and rituals) used largely in the Greco-Roman mystery religions, including early Christianity, to induce firing and retrieval, mainly with a sense of its restorative value to the individuals; the Gnostics, however, correctly saw the ontological value to what they called the Godhead Itself, the total entity....<br><br>..# Ikhnaton wrote:<br><br> "... When the fledgling in the egg chirps in the egg,<br> Thou givest him breath therein to preserve him alive.<br> When thou hast brought him together<br><br> He cometh forth from the egg,<br> To chirp with all his might.<br> He goeth about upon his two feet<br> When he hath come from therefrom.<br><br> How manifold are thy works!<br> They are hidden from before us,<br> O sole god, whose powers no other possesseth.<br> Thou didst create the earth according to thy heart<br> While thou wast alone:<br> Men, all cattle large and small,<br> All that go about upon their feet;<br> All that are on high,<br> That fly with their wings.<br> Thou art in my heart,<br> There is no other that knoweth thee<br> Save thy son Ikhnaton.<br> Thou hast made him wise<br> In thy designs and in thy might.<br> The world is in thy hand...'<br><br># Our world is still secretly ruled by the hidden race descended from Ikhnaton, and his knowledge is the information of the Macro-Mind itself.<br><br> "All cattle rest upon their pasturage,<br> The trees and the plants flourish,<br> The birds flutter in their marshes,<br> Their wings uplifted in adoration to thee.<br> All the sheep dance upon their feet,<br> All winged things fly,<br> They live when thou hast shone upon them."<br><br>From Ikhnaton this knowledge passed to Moses, and from Moses to Elijah, the Immortal Man, who became Christ. But underneath all the names there is only one Immortal Man; and we are that man... . <p></p><i></i>
