Pentemychos

In this work, Pherecydes taught his philosophy through the medium of mythic representations. Although it is lost, the fragments that survive are enough to reconstruct a basic outline. Aristotle in Metaphysics (section 1091 b 8) thus characterized Pherecydes' work as a mixture of myth and philosophy.

The book "Pentemychos" is an elaborate version of cosmogenesis, describing how three eternal "things" or "beings" beget (or become, depending on how you read) a number of principles or forms before the ordered world, the cosmos, appears. The three eternal principles are Zas ("he who lives"), Chronos ("time"), and Chthonie ("underlying the earth").

So, uh... yeah, I had a lot of coffee today. Waaaaaay, too much. Anyway, while surfing about who OWNS our banks here in America - which is impossible to do! Really! Try it. I mean, get a list of the individuals and/or corporations with the largest number of shares (besides pension funds, etc.) I gave up, or rather got distracted because looking for banking information of course led me to rothschild conspiracy junk, and then I OF COURSE wanted to find a high rez picture of the rothschild coat of arms, which is also seemingly impossible to do and then I wound up reading some art criticism of edward rothschild's called "the meaning of unintelligibility in modern art" which sounds great but I couldn't find the original text and then I wound up on another conspiracy website even though at that point I wasn't even looking for conspiracy stuff and then of course that led me metatron's cube (not to be confused with megatron!) which led me to pentemychos. Don't ask me how. I think.

ANYWAY... Pentemychos was mentioned in Damascius' "De Principiis" and it is some sort of mystic ordering principle and also the place where, well, read for yourself:

The ancient Pythagorean pentagram was drawn with two points up and represented the doctrine of Pentemychos. Pentemychos means "five recesses" or "five chambers", also known as the pentagonas — the five-angle, and was the title of a work written by Pythagoras' teacher and friend Pherecydes of Syros (This is actually a lost book whose contents are preserved in Damascius de principiis, quoted in Kirk and Raven, The Pre-Socratic Philosophers, Cambridge Univ. Press, 1956, page 55.). It was also the "place" where the first pre-cosmic offspring had to be put in order for the ordered cosmos to appear. The pentemychos is in Tartaros.

So uh... Note the H.P.Lovecraftian connection with the Cthulhu-esqe original before-creation uggga ugggga incomprehensible old gods monsters yadda yadda etc. I won't bother with the whole Pentagram = sign of satan crap. If you believe that, then you are retarded because the pentagram was around long before our modern notion of Hell/Satan. I mean it does mean that NOW, but not back then... Anyway... if the pentemychos isn't the starting point for a Hellblazer comic book plot then I don't know what is. I think if memory serves me correct, Pente = 5 and Mychos was the god of darkness, of which the greeks didn't seem to say much even though he was one of the original gods. So yeah, here we are back at the Law of Fives again. Ugh.

I digress of course. But on coffeee that is the pooooooiiiinnnntttt. Anyway, to make this fit into the 2 themes of this blog: Artificial Conspiracy Theories & Pataphysical Speculative Metaphysics I will now get to the point:

Speculative Metaphysics #1249783492749 & Conspiracy Theory #1089402840280000

A conspiracy dates back to the pythagoreans which of course include Pherecydes and before him Heraclitus and any process philosophy is written by a secret member of the conspiracy which includes the illuminati and masons etc and alfred north whitehead and your mother and the whole point of the conspiracy is this:

The three eternal principles are Zas ("he who lives"), Chronos ("time"), and Chthonie ("underlying the earth").

Zas is CONSCIOUSNESS
Chronos is TIME
Chthonie is SPACE/MATTER

But there are 2 things missing. Duh! You need FIVE things to complete a pentemychos. The conspiracy is desperately looking for those 2 missing metaphysical entities outlined in Pherecydes' writings. Both gulf wars were to gain unlimited access to the MULTITUDES of cuneiform tablets located in Iraq.

What are these entities? Obviously, they will need to be completely seperate ontological categories which mankind up until recently could not concieve of.

They are:
1) "Infomorphs"

They are beings of pure information which access our monkey consciousness. Instead of us passing around information as memes or oral tradition, the reverse is the case, they literally pass us around which is how thought is created. Thought is a byproduct of being touched by an infomorph. Thinking about the number 5? That is an infomorph using you for amusement or some other incomprehensible function. Then 10 seconds later thinking about feeling happy? Well you just got handed from one informorph to the next. Sleep is when the infomorphs get bored with playing hot patato with your consciousness and you are put in some cosmic playbox a la that Star Trek episode that got lampooned on the Simpsons. Coffee, accellerates their ability to hand us from one infomorph to the next. Death is when they break us.

In this metaphysics, we are not made of matter. We are made of the causal succession of hot potato infomorph intersections that result in our full stream of consciousness. But our monkey body still exists. The intersections occur in a monkey body that falls into one of the causal streams of hot potato passes. This explains memories of past lives and reincarnation. Our current monkey body is just picking up where the last monkey body left off. Those poor monkeys... possessed by something that is just a by product of non-dimensional infomorph interactions.

Or something like that. I don't even know what the fuck I am saying anymore I am so caffinated.

On to:

2) Fucking. Yeah, I said fucking. Well it turns out that fucking, be it your partner or your hand, is really... crap, my phone is ringing. This is an important call. Gotta go.

Okay, I am back now. Turns out I was wrong and fucking has nothing to do with it.

A comparatively large number of sources say Pherecydes was the first to teach the eternality and transmigration of human souls.[12] That he was the first to teach such a thing is doubtful, but that he was among the first and that he did profess this teaching is certain. Professor Hermann S. Schibli, the most acclaimed scholar on Pherecydes, concludes that Pherecydes "included in his book ["Pentemychos"] at least a rudimentary treatment of the immortality of the soul, its wanderings in the underworld, and the reasons for the soul's incarnations".[13]

So 2) is obviously...
