codependent remembering

Do you think Paul is Osiris and Dion is Set?

It adds up.

Are you sure?

No.

Paul needs to be remembered like Osiris.

He needs to be symbolically mummified, so he remains forever.

It's called by the ancient Egyptians Djet time.

It's continuous in a linear fashion where you aren't coming and going.

Paul is temporary.

He is an expression of the cyclical power that comes and goes.

If you aren't remembered, you are done.

Are you going to be remembered?

Yes.

How?

Dion, the writer, will remember me.

Why?

I played the part of God, and I did it so well he had to take notice.

Your delusions are legendary.

I know, right?

Set is the great separator.

He creates a new coming forth of energy.

So, he is eternal?

Yes, but his energy comes and goes.

It's the life force.

The ancient Egyptians called it Neheh time.

Cyclical, like all the celestial objects in the sky.

It's the expression of Dionysos as the eternal return.

So, Set and Dionysos are the same?

They are different systems which explain what is.

Egyptian and Greek.

You will find parallels, but never a match.

Why?

Cultural influences on pure knowledge.

To teach, you must bring these ideas to life.

Eventually, the student will understand the concepts if they personify them.

As I understand it, we are emanations of Set's power which appear and disappear.

To achieve eternal life is to be remembered.

Yes.

By who?

The writer.

Who's the writer?

You are.

Who am I?

Paul and Dion.

Apollo and Dionysos.

You both write.

Yeah, but Paul needs to be remembered.

So does Dion.

How is he remembered?

Oh, that's difficult.

It takes a lot of study, then you go on ridiculous adventures around the world, examine so many ideas of life from other cultures, synthesize them, and try to formulate an understanding.

When all that fails, you do drugs.

What kind of drugs?

Psychedelics.

How do they work?

You must treat them as sacred bestowers of knowledge.

Consciousness technology.

You treat this knowledge as a gift and integrate all your lessons.

You don't abuse the privilege.

You remain humble and shut the fuck up.

If you survive the tests thrown your way, you may one day get understanding.

What is the power of the writer?

Eros.

Lust.

What is lust?

The ability to write a story.

So, Dion will remember Paul?

Yes, if not, Paul is in purgatory waiting to be reanimated.

Paul is now integral to the story.

How so?

He can remember Dion.

That's what makes him special.

Dion is lost without Paul.

By having Paul around, Dion is always remembered.

By having Dion around, he always remembers Paul.

It's a buddy system.

They need each other.

What did Dion do before Paul?

Oh, he was lost to the dustbin of history.

A curiosity.

Paul made him come alive.

How?

I already told you.

In the end he took a lot of drugs.

So, you're saying to take a lot of drugs?

No, that will be your end.

Well, how did you manage?

I integrate all my trips and am thankful for the opportunity.

How would someone else do what you did?

Um, I don't think they can.

Why?

It takes a special kind of crazy.

What's the connection of Osiris to Horus?

Horus is Osiris remembered.

His son in the myth.

Horus is the coming forth of Osiris again.

Isn't that a product of cyclical time?

Well, yes, this plane of reality is defined by time which is created by motion.

It's a bunch of cycles where you come forth and go away.

Your remaining years in this body can be full of adventures.

For sure.

Go with the flow and it will fulfill your destiny.

Go against the flow and you change your story.

Your destiny will crash upon the rocks of the shores of Odysseus' Sirens.

Yeah, okay, Homer.
