GeneralUnderstanding OG: meditate on his essence, not his miracles Pin

A recent thread on how OG keeps track of his activity seeks to understand his remarkable abilities rationally, as if he were somehow endowed with more cores, more cudas, more ram, etc.

I think what is important is to understand these remarkable facilities' manifestations as the secondary effects of events/realities on other planes, dimensions. Just as gravity waves may be a result of black-hole mergers.

Of course, when you attempt to speak of "essence" of an "otherness:" that may leave you at best tongue-tied, at worst prattling pseudo-religiosity a la new age drivel.

Yet, one may encounter an icon, or proverb, that at least reminds you of that "otherness:" for me that happened watching the series "Boardwalk Empire," season 4, episode 2, 14:00, "Resignation," where Nucky Thompson asks his butler/driver, Eddie Kessler (who is showing signs of dementia), what he thinks about a deal.

Kessler replies: ""Mr. Thompson is part of everything. He's in the sky and sea. He's in the dreams of children at night. He is all that there is, forever."

And, that is how I dimly grok what OG is capable of OMG | :OMG:
«One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.» Salvador Dali
