Hi Nu Lang,
We are putting on twice as many people per shift at work. The last couple of days we are trying to get people in and develop a schedule that includes two people on duty 24 hours per day. We may base it on 8 hour shifts, or by mixing 12 and 8 hour shifts in order to get the coverage.
We will need to do a lot of overtime until it's worked out and all the holes are filled.
While discussing how to fill all the holes in the new schedule I said to the district manager, "I might be able to be in two places at once by I don't think I will be able to be in the same place twice."
I said it to be funny.
After I said it I realized that was a perfectly logical answer for a sorcerer. Meaning that a sorcerer can develop a double but cannot come face to face with it.
It was controlled folly. It worked on the manager as it was what I intended, it was witty.
It worked at another level because I was also seriously telling him that we needed more people to make either new schedule work.
I was speaking from two different reference points, only one of which he was aware of.
But here is the important thing to me.
I didn't know what I was saying when I said it. At least not all of the ramifications of what I was saying. It was inspired.
This particular inspiration bridged the gap between what a sorcerer's description is and what an ordinary man's description is.
But the same things happen to me all the time. Especially when I am writing songs or writing on forums.
But many times it is coming from above the sorcerer's description.
It is not me doing it. I am not that smart.
This is the tree of life. This is how it works. Angels (Messengers) ascending and descending upon Jacob's ladder.
This is the Spirit communicating with us.
1co 2:13
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1co 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1co 2:15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Joh 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
One of my favorite Monty Pythons is the special olympics skit. I know it was very controversial. A group of mentally challenged people are running a cross country race and whenever they come upon anything in their path they either stop and stare at it or run into it and fall down. It is irreverent and unexpected and therefore funny.
But it is also just an exaggeration of "ordinary humans beings." We all run up to the things in life and stop and stare or fall down.
