Arc De Domestica

I'm asked, "What is a lie?"

Is calling the states of energy aligned into "threads," mated into "cloth," and sewn together as "clothes" a lie in any part of the previous symbols we call words that form this sentence?

Of course it is.

Lying is what we do best and it's all we do.

Thus, lying is symbolising.

Recombining.

That's why this 365.25xxx-day year is difficult for me.

Deconstructing is never easy when one wants to examine atomic particle by atomic particle and keep in mind the labels we assigned to the atomic combinations we're taking apart.

All so we can get to something else entirely new.

While at the same time maintaining a line of fiction that is this series of blog entries that parallel the symbols or lies they represent with their own symbols or lies.

In the zeitgeist and out of it.

If someone is from the future, let that person speak to you in fluent language of that time.

If someone is from another part of the universe (or any universe other than this one), let that person communicate in their native symbol set without hesitation.

If you can't lie well when you say you're from someplace we suspect does not exist, then don't be surprised if we don't believe you.

I love the world in which I live and, from past experiences, expect many people to create symbols sets that entertain, enlighten, induce and delight.

But I also expect to see and hear symbol sets that are inconsistent with the way the sets are trying to be presented in a serious manner.

Humour, on the other hand, is always inconsistent and meant to be so.

"Hi, I'm Ed and this is my dead mother, K-PAX, whom we named after the animal she ate from the pack of dogs in the K-9 (a/k/a canine) corps, or corpse, as the case may be."

When I say we all lie, I mean it in a straightforward facts sort of way, not accusatory.

It's a fun way to push a button and watch what happens.

I grow tired of keeping this blog of  a storyline of our planet going but it is the background story I tell you so you have it to compare to the bigger story that is hard to see using our current symbol sets.

That way, when we're safely settled on other planetary bodies, we won't be surprised by what we find out.
