P: Well, yes, a metaphor war rages on in spiritual

circles. It's not safe to use metaphors anymore.

They are viciously attacked and dissected, they

litter the floor like severed decaying pointing

fingers, while the moon is forgotten. This is not

to be taken lightly, decaying metaphors are

radioactive. A metaphor dirty bomb most likely

will be deployed at a nondual list soon.

security already has elevated the threat alert

level to orange.

 

The opponent has discarded all rules of civilized

warfare, and now uses metaphors as proof

of their propaganda's veracity. Not only as proof,

but horror of horrors, as truths in themselves. Yes,

they contend metaphor is Truth; Truth is metaphor.

The menu is the food. They bite the hand that

feeds them, not out of ingratitude, but because

it is deemed food itself. Believers worship metaphor,

and think liberation a myth.

 

The End is Near. Cha, cha, cha! )
