Madeleine McCann (twice in one day again)

Christianity isn't an unphysical religion. As Sabine Baring Gould has said, the unique thing about Christianity of all the modern religions is that the aim is to control the body, not to abnegate it. Weird things about the Mccanns. They've been on the local news, they were from somewhere near here. Down Leicester way, I think. As I say, there are things on the church railings dedicated to her, I think it's safe to say she's dead by now.

In 1974, however, to signal that the Age of Iron was drawing to a close, Dick claimed that the NBC television network broadcast a cipher conveying a subliminal message of renewal. This consisted of a cryptic reference to ‘the fifth Saviour’, destined to lead humanity into a new age; who, according to VALIS, was either shortly to appear or was already alive. The cipher was just two words long: KING FELIX, ‘the Happy (or Rightful) King.’

Happy Toxic.

I don't like this bit:

But this would overlook the fact that trauma, mental or physical, is another way of breaking the limits of the ego and penetrating beyond ordinary consciousness. (As the occult conspiracy well knows.) And Gerry has lost his child...

Why should anyone break the bounds of his ego. Good stuff, ego is. Ego is the barrier between us and the outside, beyond. No-one should go wondering aimlessly in the outer darkness, nor should they be under the impression that they can navigate themselves beyond those parts of the mindscape fmailiar to mankind.

It's like John Buchan says, a weakened ego make people go oriental, too much mind and too little matter. Too cowardly and effete. Women, of course, have weak minds. Don't purposely try to bypass your own strength. Buchan:

The civilised is far simpler than the primeval. All history has been an effort to make definitions, clear rules of thought, clear rules of conduct, solid sanctions, by which we can conduct our life. These are the work of the conscious self. The subconscious is an elementary and lawless thing. If it intrudes on life two results must follow. There will be a weakening of the power of reasoning, which after all is the thing that brings men nearest to the Almighty. And there will be a failure of nerve.

I have more to say on the works of Mr Fairhall, but I'm out of time.
