Comment Twenty Four

From Barbelith

24. In dormant seed form, the plasmate slumbered in the buried library of codices at Chenoboskion until 1945 C.E. THis is what Jesus meant when he spoke ellipically of the "mustard seed" which, he said, "would grow into a tree large enough for the birds to roost in." He foresaw not only his own death but that of all homoplasmates. He foresaw the codices unearthed, read, and the plasmate seeking out new human hosts to crossbond with; but he foresaw the absence of the plasmate for almost two thousand years.

(Nietzsch E. Coyote) It was released when they found the Nag Hammadi scrolls. Gnosticism's living ideas were re-injected into human consciousness.

(chris23) Yes, see verse 20 of the Gospel of Thomas (http://www.webcom.com/~gnosis/naghamm/gosthom.html)

The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what Heaven's kingdom is like." He said to them, "It's like a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, but when it falls on prepared soil, it produces a large plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."

(chris23) Note also two other prominent events in 1945:

1) Creation and use of the first Atomic Bomb.

2) Creation and use of LSD.

Some say these two events occured to balance each other out ...

(Nietzsch E. Coyote) Grant Morrison attributes the "falling" of living information into the world to the first use of the atom bomb in his comic, The Invisibles. He has his characters explain this while on LSD.

(King Felix) I was wondering wether the thing that Grant Morrison had Oppenheimer say at the detonation was an actual fact, but according to the annotations in the bomb it is supposed to be correct.

"I am become death, destroyer of worlds"

Actually that annotation answered most of the questions I was going to ask The Bomb Issue 2.2 (http://www.barbelith.com/bomb/2_2.htm). I read the Parson book, sex and rockets some years ago. And there definitely was more going on in the manhattan project and everything surrounding it, however much of it was intentional can be discussed.

But I do think that something was set in motion to balance it, and why not the discovery by Dr Hofmann. His Bicycle Day occured April 19, 1943.

(Chris23) I have also seen this quote attributed directly to Oppenheimer. I also saw a version that substituted "Shiva" for "Death". Either way it's a pretty powerful statement.

1945:

• Nag Hammadi scrolls unearthed (Logos)

• Creation and use of the Atom Bomb (Death)

• Creation and use of LSD (Imgination)

• Cypher of KING FELIX (Age of Gold)

• Cypher of Arecibo (Cosmic Awareness)
