The Meaning and Purpose of the Kirtland Egyptian Papers

[selek]

Gotcha.

Pax.

Pax?

You mean G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate?

Are you suggesting that Why Me might be....a Reaver!?!?!

(That does, strangely enough, bode well for the kittens-and-puppies theme you two are developing....)

No, but a couple of kittens... I think that you misunderstood. Most people in the lds church will not make head or tails of Will's presentation. He will need to dumb it down a little for the fireside crowd. And bring in a different context. That is all I meant.

A very elitist statement. Please tell us why those illiterate, retarded members won't understand it. I, a simple born and bred farm boy, understood it. Uh at least I thought I did.

It was a pure delight to be there when WIll presented his paper. I rather liked it, enormously. If nothing else, I now will pay more attention to the Kirtland Egyptian Papers. GREAT JOB Will!

Hey Kerry, I'm really enjoying your conference videos. Has anyone told you you look like Mike Ash but less skeptical?

[Muc'ul Ajwalil]

Part One: Great!

Now seeing Part Two.

Hey, don't be rude to Kerry.

How DARE you insult dear helpless sweet charming brother Mike Ash with such skullduggery shinannigans.......

Thanks to Will for posting the videos. I'm impressed. Excellent work. A powerful paradigm. When dealing with skeptics, you might want to reflect on Kuhn's chapter on Progress Through Revolutions. There are reasons why a shift can take a generation or more.

I can tell by some of your posts you are a Joss Whedon fan (as I am too).

I must be very delicate here, but I would suggest a parallel with your discovery to be found in the temple, that indeed some of what can be found there are representations of a language of ciphers structured very similarly to what you have discovered in the KEP, where one cipher can indicate an entire paragraph and then be combined with other ciphers to carry that out in almost a "geometric progression" of meaning so that ultimately in a few gestures, voluminous theological tomes may be represented.

I think that kind of structure has been clear to some of us for some time in a temple context, but your discovery makes it crystal clear to me that the same process was going on there as you have so clearly shown to be the case in the KEP.

The parallelism is so totally clear it makes one wonder why it was not obvious before- and I think the paradigm shift you are suggesting will become manifest in many areas as yet undiscovered.

I have not always seen eye to eye with you, but let me say that you knocked this one out of the ballpark. In my opinion, your presentation even surpassed the hype in what it delivers.

Congratulations!
