    for every person there are two places reserved
    one in eden
    one in gehenna

    if deemed worthy, one takes his place in eden but also takes the place of one deemed unworthy. two places in eden.

    meanwhile, the unworthy takes two places in hell.

    'Most wars were wars of contact, both forces striving into touch to avoid tactical surprise. Ours should be a war of detachment. We were to contain the enemy by the silent threat of a vast unknown desert, not dislcosing ourselves till we attacked. The attack might be nomimal, direted not against him, but against his stuff; so it would not seek either his strength or his weakness, but his most accessible material. In railway-cutting it would be usually an empty stretch of rail; and the more empty, the greater the tactical success. We might turn our average into a rule (not a law, since war was antinomian) and develop a habit of never engaging the enemy.'

    'all things in process and nothing stays still, and likening existing things to the stream of a river he says that you would not step twice in the same river.'
    plato (cratylus)

    'that we cannot step into the same river twice is not true, because we have stepped into that same river an infinite number of times . . . heraclitus is yet correct in writing what he does, for his words do not contradict my faith in omnibus. a circle implies motion. this is all that heraclitus insists upon, motion.'

    i completely and totally freaked myself out writing here tonight.

    after the codex dei omnibus bit i was writing about someone-

    who will go unnamed because i am still a bit on the weired side-

    someone who spent his life completely consumed by ghosts. spirits. etc.

    i'd written about as much as i have here, when the backspace engaged and removed my text.

    odd enough.
