Tonight I updated my Salmon on the Thorns webpage for the first time since November 7, to reflect the fact that in my latest attempt Gaia (the conscious planet Earth) is the local chair/moderator of my workings, God could override this but there is no conflict between Gaia and God, and God is leaving this local matter mainly to Gaia. But God is still my top deity and indeed is also Gaia’s top deity. I consider Gaia to be a deity to me but others (especially atheists) may prefer to use a different term, and if they choose to address Gaia they do not have to consider it prayer if they don’t consider Gaia to be a deity to them. And while I am fairly confident that I have a match to my definition of Gaia (the conscious planet Earth) due to my blue rose vision pre-dawn on Sept. 6, 1991 and due to my perineum click (short period mula bandha) divination, which web searches indicate is probably Earth-linked, I am less confident that I have a match to my definition of God (the ruler of the region all/everything). Perhaps this lack of confidence is somewhat on topic? :-) I have crossposted this partly since alt.atheism is being flooded with spam lately, and partly since my newsreader Hogwasher is having strange problems with alt.atheism perhaps due to the newsgroup article database being corrupted somehow. The problem (multiple copies of headers) has persisted even when I deleted the group and added it again. Hogwasher support has not responded to a query yet. But anyway, if anyone from alt.atheism is following up, perhaps leave also talk.atheism in the Newsgroups line so I will be sure to see your followup (though I know that is no longer possible on google groups). -- David Dalton [email protected] https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) "I will stare at the sun until its light doesn’t blind me I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn’t burn me" (S.
