The horizontal line, the vertical line, yes, there is a lot of good shit there to contemplate but the CHAIR, al! The Chair has it all! The Throne of God. What better symbol could one have of Ultimate Authority? Cause when you're in the CHAIR, man, then EVERYBODY can be seen as seated at your right hand. It's like the Zen Buddhist parable of the hip American " Beat Zen " guy and the " Square Zen " (thank you, Alan Watts) Japanese monk who, when coming upon a little stupa have this exchange " The Square Zenguy bows. The Beat Zenguy says, " Why I'm such a hip zenster, that when I see one of those stupid stupas, I just feel like spitting on it. Square Zen Traditional guy: " No problem. You spit, I bow. " I forget the actual punch-line, but you get the idea. So al, no problem: You take the cross, and I'll take the chair.

You will not take the chair and you know why. You will not go around with an electric chair around your neck. al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
