Muffin,

Some people might say it was a type of code language to differentiate themselves from oppressive powers. Not for me, however. I think we are on a journey of Self discovery. Truly transforming epiphany is personal. The more arduous our search the more we value discovery. For instance, why should you trust me or anyone else ? The final decision is yours and you want to own that……ultimately better than having an escape clause to blame someone else. I view it as true gnosis as understood by Greek philosophy.

And I feel it's much older than that

The builders of the cisterns 'missed the mark' hence they commited a sin.

Muffin,

Yes it has been there since time immemorial until it got a name. I think of it like the difference between seeing a picture and actually being there. I have seen pictures of many beautiful places but I am at a loss to rate the top 10 pictures that I have ever seen. No lasting impressions. But seeing something in person is completely different….you can actually feel it speaking to your soul. It becomes imprinted in you, so to speak. For me that is gnosis or epiphany.

there is ego and there is alter ego. Is ego knowing your true self and alter ego thinking your a super hero but your not? Maybe that's something we're getting confused on the ego topic. Hhhhmmmm just a thought.
