I doubt it, but then again, I don't believe in the machine-ghosts. your threats in usenet are peculiar, given our lack of interaction. > Put that Death card to use in meditation .... this is what got me responding to you, besides your followup to my post on summoning. that's a very interesting idea, Quant_OM. it is in part what I do all the time, focussed as I am on the most wrathful aspects of Kali in worship. Death is ostensibly, when I'm on, an ever- present reality to which I pay close attention. this seems to be common ground with martial artists cleaving to the code of the Samurai ('Bushido'), according to some texts I've read about it and conversations I've had with those who adore it. I'd suggest that it emphasizes the fragility of the processes ongoing which I take for granted, which serve to make it possible for me to continue, and which will one day cease entirely and vaporize my fictional composition and loosely- adhering consciousness. > Ready, son? in case it wasn't clear, I'm ignoring your off-topic maelstrom in favour of actual substantive material. I hope you and I can somehow have a synchronous communication, since you seem to enjoy the use of words (in peculiar application). blessed beast! nagasiva
