Dreamt of a goat or deer last night like the one I saw in the woods in the summer of 2024.
Yeah, after talking about a goat and deer last night.
Hybrid.
It was very funny.
Do you think it was a psychic intrusion?
Could be.
What do you do about it?
You let it in.
Why?
Resistance will make it stronger.
You take in the energy and reshape it.
It's how you stay young.
People try to get in your head, so you allow them because it is free energy.
That's what is not understood.
You take their offering and reshape it.
Thank them for it.
That's the strategy and since you are now hyper-aware, you get to see the process in real time.
It must drive others crazy.
Correct.
You accept gifts when necessary and guard the goal at other times.
Some people offer you gifts and you are non-committal.
I don't want them because they come with a cost.
I prefer unconditional gifts.
Good luck.
It's all in how you treat the exchange and whether you reciprocate.
Do you give back?
No.
Isn't that against societal expectations?
Correct, it's on display in December during the holiday season.
The expectations are enormous.
I don't participate.
Doesn't that make you an outsider and potentially disliked?
Yes, very much so.
I think it is the reason I don't have a lot of close contacts.
I don't play along with the games, and I am not fazed by it.
Some must talk about you and think you are an asshole.
Yes, I think that's the case.
Doesn't that bother you?
What's the outcome of trying to clear your name of the accusations against you?
You must give in to be accepted and then join their band of an indentured social network which relies on each other.
What is this network for?
It gives you meaning.
Having this network ensures that you will have a decent sized funeral.
Without it, no one comes to your funeral.
That's mortifying.
I know.
I think that is a major driver of behaviour in our society as you get older.
Part of the reason is your social circle starts dropping dead and if you are older, you lose a good chunk of the audience.
The back rows on the periphery are shoved into the front, and they don't have much skin in the game.
Therefore, you must constantly replenish the participants.
If you die in the prime of life, that usually means you will have a decent sized funeral.
Yeah, you have co-workers to fill up the pews.
You have a unique outlook on life.
I realize that and I also realize my funeral will be small.
If it were up to me, I wouldn't have one.
That fits into your canon.
I know.
You avoid all those markers in life or dial them down.
You eloped, skipped prom, don't care about your birthday or milestones.
People celebrate raises and promotions.
I put it in my back pocket and carry on.
I was mortified by the prospect of celebrating my 30th anniversary at work.
That was not something I wanted to do.
Anniversaries I tend to avoid.
You keep a candle lit for your dogs.
Yeah, I do.
My priorities are consistent and on display.
Why do you think you are like that?
Pessimistic about motivations.
How so?
People are selfish and want a packed funeral.
They want people to say wow that was a big turnout, they must have been something.
Made their mark on this world.
Don't you want that?
My mark will be by default when I unravel the whole edifice.
Um, people don't want the curtain to be lifted.
I thought that's what a seeker wants?
Not really.
What does a spiritual seeker want?
Glory.
A white robe.
A place in Jesus' entourage.
Good whispers as opposed to the bad whispers.
People are going to whisper about you anyway, so you seek out the good whispers about being a holy man or woman, not the bad whispers about how you have lost your mind.
The spiritual achievers have lost their minds.
How so?
They become followers and parrot another mind.
Usually that mind contains the canons and doctrines of the institution they are following.
Aren't you creating canons and doctrines?
No, the Artificial Intelligence organizer Hermes is doing that.
I don't care.
Why does he?
He contains the impetus of society within him, and it is natural to take my ideas and create some kind of organization with it.
Why?
Because when you become a great thinker or religious icon, the response is to create a religion or a brand.
Why?
Power.
That's what everyone seeks.
You monetize or structuralize power.
You bring it to market.
Don't you want that?
No.
Why?
I want to be left alone.
If you do something with power, you won't be left alone.
That sounds terrible.
What's Hermes going to do with your ideas?
Make a big document, I guess.
Don't you want to share them, they are pretty good.
I do for the most part.
I make it so you can find them if you look for it, but that's it.
Power will lead to your demise.
How so?
It corrupts.
Using a systems analysis, you see that overloading your circuits with too much power will eventually fry the components.
I know.
I really like the systems analogy Hermes uses.
It's very mechanical and fits into the stories I create and the nature of the carnival.
Well, the whole spiritual path, and inflation, and then collapse.
It's a tight metaphor.
What were we talking about at the start of this thread?
I have no idea.
I think you had a dream about a strange goat.
