The Great Man vs The Superior Man

❧
This is another one of my blog entries where I wrote something I liked in an e-mail discussion group and wanted to follow through. I write entirely too much as it is in these groups:

"No, I'm not "doing the iching" as an oracle anymore. I still quote it occasionally like quoting the GoT. Especially if I sense that the sayings from each indicate the sa-me universal condition. I use people as my oracular source now, as instructed by yet another vision in the dreamtime. Unsurprisingly, once done, people just love be-co-me-ing an oracle. How else could they know such a thing is possible? How else could I gnow such a thing is possible?"

I'm quoting myself here and I don't know the proper way to punctuate to indicate that or if I even need to. I just wanted to take what I wrote a little while ago as a beginning point in order to find out what else I might write in regard to how I get people to become oracles for me.

My nemesis challenged me to defend my admitted use of trickery to get a new young body from a suicidal teenager because my current body was extremely old and approaching death. The kid (who I am is legally right damned now) was approaching death. It wasn't a harsh takeover deal. It was something that worked out for both of us, but in the superfluidity of the eternal now. Instantaneity.

Irrevocable shit happens in real ti-me within the event horizon of the specious present, and there ain't no redos. Really! Even light ain't fast enough to escape the angels with the flaming swords at the ring-pass-me-not of their guardian domain. Probably defies the arrow of time or some shit like that.

I've written about how I went to my first hypnosis school at night when I was around twenty-four years old, and how I've since attended several other schools and many short seminars on the art of suggestion. I'm a bigger student of it than a practitioner, but I don't have to be stultifyingly slow with the use of suggestion, just bold.

I taught myself not to presume people can't or won't do what I ask of them while they're in a deep trance. Ethics is naturally a part of hypnosis because most subjects are willing to do what the hypnotist asks them to do. Some are even eager to do stuff they wouldn't ordinarily do because they got the perfect excuse if accused of misconduct, "I wuz hypnotized." That's even mo' better and more believable to the church ladies in the juror's box than, "I wuz drunk!" Thin ice.

My point is that if I ask the right question of a person in the right situation they don't have to be in a hypnotic trance to become an oracle for me. I emphasize the "for me". People of either gender will become an oracle and talk about stuff in detail that both of us know they previously knew nothing about, and yet, they're undeniably doing it in front of witnesses.

I ask them to answer some impossible question that neither one of us knows for sure they can't answer. I can't afford to assume they can't do it or my doubt will contaminate the possible result. I can't always maintain that degree of objectivity, and if I can't it's a bust. Instantaneously.

That puts a lot of responsibility on the composition of the proposed question. If I can contain my doubt and fulfill my part of the deal, then the question I present has to come outta the blue quickly enow to misdirect any questioning of my motives and nip their doubt in the bud. It's just human nature for suspicion to arise, so the machinations I employ to divert them requires their ongoing cooperation to see where this thing can go.

The most critical part of this ritualistic mojo is that it has to happen in a cauldron of unquestionability. Whatever in hell that may mean. To me it means that both of us have to enter a consciously generated state of innocence for the floodgates of the great man.

"The great man" or in the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the I Ching, the Superior man, took decades for me to figure out. If I had ignored my remembering vision as a fluke of nature I still wouldn't know what these terms are symbolic of, because without my unwavering believe in what I experienced in my remembering vision, I would never have studied any of the occult devices. I just wasn't that kind of person. I don't do tattoos no matter who does.

My remembering vision was a visitation with "the great man". I probably don't have a clue about what the Chinese sages who created the I Ching or Book of Changes meant by their use of "the great man", but since the last couple of days I think I do. I'm guessing. I'm not proposing my definition is correct or truthful. I can't swear that's it's anything to write ho-me about. But, currently, in the present moment, "the great man" is the more of me than you or anyone else can "see".

The 'Superior man" is all my memories, especially the ones created previous to this particular life-time. My re-membering vision revealed consciously to my current persona this universal more-ness. My own Akashic Records of what eternity has been like for this I am is. I am is me, you know, in all ways it has been and will be. Well, maybe. My remembering vision didn't reach into the future. I seem pretty sure from reading and talking to other people that their remembering visions were more inclusive and more far-reaching than my own.

The great man is that "man" which is greater than just me. The Superior man is that man who reaches beyond this one lifetime or this one planet, but in all ways is and will be. It's like an experiential database that's not always online, but I am is gnows it's there anyway.

I think I'm trying to get around to writing that "the great man" is individual cosmic consciousness. Realizing in real time "how great thou art" is tantamount to the religious experience of gnosis or enlightenment. It's the superior database of one's total life experiences as opposed to the inferior database of an individual lifetime. It's bigger than. It's greater than. It's superior to by volume and weight. From infinitesimally small to the infinity of open space. It's the more of me than I am is can "see".

If I'm actually weird in any way at all it's that using words to capture drifting thoughts is one of the most exciting activities I can imagine. I'll get over it or maybe not. It's lasted forever so far.
