Can we go back to talking about "The Cosby Show"?

It was about sentence #3 that I blacked out and an hour later woke up in a puddle of my own drool.

I think I should get LOTS of credit for even making it to sentence #3.

What do you mean by "sickness is at a distance" from the now? How would that be any different from health when you're talking about experiencing this "one point of eternity"? We're still conscious and experiencing, right?

Is there a rule that all senior staffers must post to slog a minimum of 3 times a day, even if all they have to say is nonsense?

Beautiful posting Charles. The block universe Hegel explained to the goyium is really a watered down version of the Keter flowing into the receptacles described in the Kaballah.

The Tree of Life has 10 concentric rings, .... three were shattered by the light (Keter, Chokmah, and Binah) and became the illusion of time/space.

Of course the goyium have shriveled brains incapable of thinking beyond a baseball game, so the Kaballah is closed to them. As Jewish Males it is our duty to contemplate Kaballah and our place as sparks of divine fire.

“klippah" means "shell" or "husk". The idea of a covering or garment or vessel in which the light of the Ein Sof is "encapsulated". The Sefirot, in their capacity of recipients of light, are referred to as kelim, "vessels". The duality between the container and the contained is perhaps the most important in Kabbalistic explanations of the creative moment.

The goyium are dark souls trapped. Their toxic Christian religion is an illusion time as real. As Jews we are above time/space as history evolved into ONE, and our minds push past humanism to our true place as within the ONE. The goyium will be burned in the illumination and vanish.

And here I thought it was to fuck the daylights out of shiksas and be funny.

I hate to feed the troll, but... can someone at the Slog please block Issur's IP? If he was saying "the ni**ers have shriveled brains..." or "fa**ots will be burned in the illumination..." you guys would ban him in an instant. Unlike Ecce or ..., this guy isn't trying to contribute anything to the discussion, he's just peddling racist soundbites.

patrick @3, the same thing occurred to me, too. in fact, there is much that is quite salient about illness, and it IS another mode of being. illness can really bring it home that you are alive, actually, in a way that blithely breezing along in good health cannot.
