The Temple of Mant

[kFoyauextlH]

Off the starry shores of a black liquid ocean is the base of the Temple of Mant. Inside you may find me to consult, covered in hair and gigantic in a place where coldness is a dimension of emotion which does not mean unemotionality but the same sort of thing as physical coldness. It acts as a symbol of veracity, that indeed this place is real if you are here and I will answer truthfully whatever you may wish to learn about regarding your interests. Do not dissapoint me, because I can not dissapoint you. It is only fair.

You should get a load of this. That's the sort of posting I am most interested in @"kFoyauextlH"

The word Mant and all references and associations even sound types like sounding like Man should be examined. My choice of wording is deliberate. Mant is really relevant to the Occult section.

Mant being human?

[kFoyauextlH]

Mant being many many things being referenced.

One should look up the etymology of words with Man Men Mem and Mant in it.

I will start you off with an example but it is difficult for me to do much on my phone like finding and pasting links and switching back and forth between pages and copy pasting quotes.

So you can go to etymonline and look up Mantis then Matra then Mantic then the links in those like Mania and Meno and go on a whole journey of meaning. You needn't even exclude the other references like being wrapped in a cloak which is like how we appear wrapped in experience. You can pursue this all the way to Apollyon the destroyer and why they sat be deep caves and why the hairy serpent was associated and in reading about Veles and moisture and illness and death back to Aplu and Mantriks and the Spiritual Science funny website talking about underworld infernal priests or download the book Sinister Yogis pdf from Google. The Wolf the Bear The Snake the Wooly Cattle, Vrtra and Vala and the darkness and the nature of light and the Milky Way.

That reminds me, I have to have a look at Plato's Cratylus on Naming.

I will check out those etymologies.

Just so you know, there is a fast quote button in mobile mode, the small star under each post, or if you are in desktop view, the small quote button with no text, allows you to highlight specific text in a post and then if you press that button, it will paste that text ina quote in the fast reply.

Thank You! Its just the issue of going back and forth on the phone browser and the difficulty accessing the paste function and selecting and various things.

You can research Names as the Glory or Fame of a person meaning their superpower or epithet and also the importantly related Name as the function or intended function of the person as well as Name as an apotropaic device or devotional measure.

Etymology and Names were of great interest and importance to humans.

Today names are just combinations of sounds people are called by and are sometimes looked up for their meanings out of casual interest but in the past Names were much more important to people and were also used differently.

You can also look up names in relation to magic and occultism and the development of those ideas like the demanding of the true name of things and the idea of accessing or controlling things or calling things by their name as a sort of device like a portal or a yoke or restraint.

Name changes and new names or extra names were also important and there were also elements of irony as well as deliberate oppositeness for various reasons.

Mainly though a name was a power, the prominent ability of a thing or a person which was their fame or glory, what they were known or renowned for or in naming an infant what their parents hoped them to be renowned for or protected from or devoted to or at times what became ironic. It was also of interest to people why these things might have become ironic or the folly of the person that their behavior opposed their name or turned their name into a mockery.

People were named after animals sometimes with the idea of receiving qualities of that animal, protection from that animal, protection or help from that animal, and a variety of reasons associated with cultural or common views of that animal.

I have many names, titles I associate with myself or find relation to or feel almost as though they refer to me or are part of an overall inspired mission and reminder.

In the beginning there was only one, a Chinese man named You. He had a definite race, it was Chinese, back when Chinese meant very little, I assure you. You was a negro (obviously, look how I'm writing afterall), and this doesn't mean You was black. You wasn't white either. You was Nothing, but not Nothing either, but practically that. You was You, very little else can be said about You. Bodhisattva's if you can please stop with the applause, the audience may become distracted, and the trance may fall asunder. Speaking of falling, that is what happened next. You fell. It wasn't long before You fell, because it was instantaneous. It happens again and again. In fact, it could be said that "You is tripping", indefinitely, because Tripping is what You does.

You, the Chinese Negro Nothing, was tripping but had nowhere to fall and no one to call for help. You see, and he does, You was an Atheist, a Non-Believer, and this is back when it was jive to believe in Nothing because Nothing but You is all there was, and You was tripping as usual, because that is what You is.

When there is no one to call upon for help, and you're tripping, the whole situation can be rather frightening. You might just say "There is no God", and you would be right, and then You said "but God". This was coocoo, because the One became TwoTwo. Who is your Lord? TwoTwo said "YouYou!". I never liked talking about the birth of God, because it never happened, and I don't like talking about things that never happened, but luckily I do like talking about things I don't like talking about, so there you go, the Birth of God which Never Happened, a Subject which is most distasteful.

Now onto the tale of the First, the 1 before the 0.

I don't see you, where are you?

I am here.

I feel mad, what am I?

You are the second after the first, the moment after the last, only you are called Created, Born.

What are you? Who am I speaking to?

I am You, You are speaking to You.

Hold on.

To what?

To that thought, to You, I guess, I will?

I have no idea what we are talking about.

I don't even know which one of us is talking.

Right now I think it is You talking.

Well you would be right about that.

Well this is going Nowhere.

You got that right!

Well lets give it a place.

What is a place?

A place would be the third, young messenger.

Hey, no need to be cocky!

Nothing is cockier than Place, that Cosmic Mound.

Is that what it is going to be?

Well lets see! Be!

It is. Amazing, how did you do that?

It is something I picked up along the way.

While tripping?

How did you know about that?

You told me.

Haha that is so cool. I requested them to put it back up. They deleted so much of my writing for no good reason at all. The complete full length version and various other esoteric things I wrote on Wizard Forums were actually full of great information and ideas and references while being hypnotic and meant to loosen people up but were unfortunately rejected on websites dedicated to the Occult.

[atreestump]

Wow, they deleted posts?
